Greys take 2-Q lead in softball loop finals here Friday evening, The Pine was the ,tightest of the year for the local ladies who have lost only one gante all season, and that in. Brucefteld. The Greys used three two- run innings while holding their opponents - to one big frame to register the victory. Exeter counted two runs in their first tittle .at bat after Brucefield. had taken .a slim 1,0. lead after ,one half, inning of play'. The two teams continued in. a scoreless struggle for two more innings before the visitors rocked Rose Carey for three hits and a base on balls to jump into a .4-.2 lead, HOwever,, the Exeter ladies countered in their half of the inning with two runs to .0,0 no the .hall game and then. they came back with another pair in the next frame to give them their winning margin, Shortstop Audrey Pooley, as well as saving the game in the final inning with a couple of snarkling catches, paced 'the Greys with a two-base hit and a single in three trips, Rose Carey led the winners with three singles to drive in two Exeter runs, Ann Cronyn provided Exeter with their tying runs with a booming triple that came with two mates on base, Dolly Mattson, Mary Grayett, and Dorothy Wilson all coi• lected singles for the home squad, Although Exeter pitcher Rose Carey did not have one of her better nights on the mound, she was given lots of support by her team-mates who came up . with some fine fielding plays during the game.

Those who had at- tended camp arrived spreading tales of their adventures to eager listeners. The emphasis of the day was spent on track and field to pre- pare for the following day's meet, At Kin Park track events were stressed by Bonnie Turvey for most of the day, Early Wednesday morning en- thusiastic children awaited the bus which took them to Kincar- dine for the annual Huron meet, Upon our arrival in Kincar- dine a mad scramble took place as competitors raced to their individual events of the day. Lunches were eaten in riotous atmosphere as the various bus- ses served as perfect eating places. Everyone was kept busy throughout the entire day as children participated in events while supervisors tried to keep things running smoothly, At the end of the day the win- ners were announced and the championship cups awarded to the individual class winners. We are extremely proud of our Exeter group, especially Caro- ported that an extensive flag system was now in use at the local park and the beach was being patrolled during weekends in an attempt to cut down on the chances of similar inci- dents. Three large painted signs in- form swimmers whether or not a lifeguard is on duty and what condition the water is in, A red marker is being used to notify them that no lifeguard is on duty and a green notes that there is. A yellow marker is placed on the beach if the water conditions are dangerous for swimming even though a lifeguard may be on duty, Myers also r e p or t e d that George Clemens, area conser- vation officer, and another of- ficer from London would be in the park patrolling the beach Area on weekends in an effort to cut down accidents.

There are also several fine stores where the empha- sis is on top quality merchan- dise." However, as most have found, MacGregor points up that "Its most famous attraction is the beautiful white, sandy beach, where Lake Huron breakers roll lazily in, and where, on any hot summer day, there are more pretty grits to the square yard of sand than on the French Riviera." The newspaper man used a pretty Kitchener girl, Carole Helt, to emphasize this fact and lifeguard Bob Anderson also had his photo featured, doing a handstand for four girls from Toronto and Lon- don. Emergency set-up The new exchange building, erected behind Rollie Grenier's store on highway 21, has been designed to handle a portable outlet for a generator in the case of a power failure. Zehr reported that the batte- ries in the system would keep the system alive for up to 24 hours after a power failure and the Bell telephone portable gen- erator could be called in to re- charge the batteries without loss of service to area subscribers. The new dial system will take in the entire Grand Bend list and corners an area about four miles north and three miles south of Grand Bend and as far east as Shipka, The Shipka subscribers have also been taken of the Dash- wood exchange and will have the modern dial setup when changeover is made. "There's a lot of work left to be done," Zehr stated this week, "and right now we arc at the boiling point in our ope- ration." The recent drowning of five small children at the Provincial park at Long Point has re- sulted in a tightening of beach guard duties and regulations for the protection of swimmers in all Ontario parks.

On the whole a very enjoy- able day was had by all. The trip home proved to be far quieter than the one to Kin- cardine. Tired children and weary supervisors arrived back in Exeter. Thursday due to inclement weather the playground was closed for the morning. Never- theless the supervisors set out canvassing the business areas in town for merchandise to be awarded as prizes in our pen- ny carnival to be held Friday, August 17, Friday afternoon was devoted to plastic lacing at Queen's Park, instructed by Linda John- ston, This week the supervisors at Kin Park are July Tennant, Bon- nie Turvey and Joan Dettmer, Marion Kerslake and Anmarie Kraft were at Victoria Park and Linda Johnston at Queen's Park, Next week a cowboy and In- dian, gypsy and hobo week is planned, to be climaxed with a parade leading to the penny car- nival, Everyone is welcome, and kids, bring your parents! ity to aid the lifeguard to con- trol any swimmers who do not heed the park regulations, The lifeguard hours have also and show that areas number eight and three have lifeguards on duty from 14;00 until 7:00 on Sundays and from 1:00 until 5;00 in area number eight on weekdays. "We are requesting swimmers to swim in the areas where the lifeguards are stationed," My- era stated. Well equipped He pointed out they were all well qualified and well equip- ped to aid any persons in trou- ble in the marked swimming areas, "It may take campers and picnickers a litle longer to drive or walk to these areas," the snp't reported, "but it is for their protection and we hope they avail themselves of it." To ban rafts? Myers reported that the park authorities also planned to rec- ommend that a law be passed outlawing the use of rubber rafts or similar objects from the beaches in the park. "They are the most danger- ous things ever manufactured," he stated, "and we are going to recommend their abolishment at the park," All' four teams io the recrea tion softball ,league playdowns. finished up this week's playoff action with one victory each after a pair of playoff games, Legion rallied to take Kins- men .6,i1 in one round ..to tie the teams at one victory and one loss, each while Crediton blanked .

With the special week-long summer camp a highlight this year and special bus trips to Kincardine and Listowe.l, it's amazing the way time has slipped along, However, as a farewell send- off to the '62 program, the six Kinsmen playground supervis- ors have a stellar presentation lined up for this 'Friday, A parade, starting at 7;30 p.m. sharp, will commence from Victoria. Park to the Ex- eter Arena. The parade will include riding floats for all girls and boys, the two town fire trucks, the Exeter Legion pipe band and other extras.

An added attraction at the arena will be ,a stage show put on by the playground super- visors. Two hilarious skits will Dashwood Midgets won their league "D" classification finals with a victory and a tie over Lucan this week. Leading the four-out-of-seven series three games to none going into this week's action, the two teams tied one game and then Dashwood wrapped up the decision when they were given the game in Dashwood Tuesday night. The Dashwood squad were trailing in the game 9-7 with the leading Lucan nine stalling for time because it was growing dark, An umpiring decision in the bottom of the fifth inning brought the Lucan coach charg- ing out to the umpire to protest the call.
