The winners racked lip 2 wins plus 8 to edge the runner-up combo of Fred Tilley, Verne Smith and Bill McKellar who gained the same number of wins but were one short on plus. One win plus 10 enabled How- ard Truemner, WilfShapton and Howard Ince to capture third spot. A. summer art mart is being planned for Thursday, Friday and possibly Saturday, (July 4, 5, and 6) at Knox Presbyterian Church in Goderich. Rain or shine the art mart Will take place either indoors or outside, weather permitting. The Goderich group, headed by president Martha Rathburn, cordially extends a sincere in- vitation to all of the artists in this district to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to exhibit and perhaps sell their paintings. District painters, who are interested in showing, should notify Mrs. Rathburn (Box 1149) by Wednesday, June 12th of the number and approximate size of the picutres you wish to display so that adequate display space can be arranged. There will be a fee of 25e per picture, minimum fee of $1.00. This is an excellent oppor- tunity for all local artists to gain a two-fold experience. First of all, you can exhibit and try to sell your paintings. Secondly, even if you do not wish to show the work you have done, you can attend the art mart and see the work done by other artists throughout Wes- tern Ontario. If at all possible, we suggest that you set at least one day aside and take this in. It will be well worth while. buy a beautiful OrCal Diamond Insured free for one year Pleasing you pleases us.

A goodly number of bowlers were on hand for their first test of the year. Wes Watson and Len Mc- Knight teamed up to take first prize with 2 wins plus 11. Close on their heels with 2 wins and a plus of 10 came the combination of Ross Taylor and Bob Middleton. Third spot went to a mixed pair, Ray Smith and Mrs. Ted Pooley. Due possibly to the long win- ter lay-off, one fellow, who shall remain anonymous, lost his game 18-2. Refreshments were served by the ladies between contests to enable the competitors to finish their games. CLOSE FINISH Saturday night's jitney pro- duced a close finish. Art Cann and Lila Smith took the top award as the result of 2 wins plus 9 and an aggregate of 25. Breathing down their necks were the trio of Alvin Pym, Wilf Shapton and Elva Heywood, also with 2 wins plus nine but with a lower• aggre- gate of 20. McKNIGHT AGAIN FIRST Len McKnight returned to After a shaky few Weeks when its exist- ence was threatened, the Huron-Perth Baseball League is off and running this week. Listowel will return for another term joining Exeter, Zurich and Staffa in creating a four-team circuit. The northerners were a last-minute en- try after rumors indicated they might be com- peting in a WOAA group. According to Jim ingles, presiaent of the Western Association, their proposed baseball grouping has fallen through and all teams have returned to softball, leaving the Legionnaires free to re-enter the Huron-Perth. H-P loop secretary John Livermore of Clinton has received a letter from the OBA criticizing the appearance of the Exeter Mo- hawk uniforms or the lack of them during last year's playdowns, With an earlier source of money for new uniforms cut off, the execu- tive is considering several plans to outfit their members. This year's local club will be guided by a trio of teachers from SHDHS, Joe Wooden, Ron Bogart and George Wright. Wooden, the spokesman for the group, passes on the information that the team mem- bers are now selling booster season tickets. A two dollar bill will ensure admittance to all regularly scheduled home games. To get the team on the field each player is making a contribution out of his own pocket to defray early expenses. The best way to help this un-sponsored, truly amateur squad is to give them your wholehearted support not only in advance sales but in actual attendance at the park, This year's Mohawk entry, quite similar in playing content - to a year ago will be pro- viding plenty of after supper entertainment for baseball enthusiasts of the area. More than 20 hopefuls have been attending early practices and the triple coaching staff will be giving everyone a fair trial. Jim Russell, mainstay of the Tribe pitch- ing corps for the past couple of years, is again leading the hurling hopefuls. Bill Cr ago and Glenn Bennett, another pair of returnees are working out on the mound along with Jim Pfaff, of juvenile age from Creditors. Crago will only be available for the first few weeks since he is leaving to take up a new position at the Atomic Energy plant at Chalk River.

Besides adding some co- lour, it should give the player who hits one, a boost tpo! UMPIRE'S SCHOOL The Western Ontario Athletic Association is sponsoring a baseball and softball umpire's school in Listowel on Sunday, June 9th at 2:00 p.m. Regis- tration (free) will take place between 1:30-2:00 at the Lis- towel Memorial Park & Arena. Rain or shine the school will be held. Maxie Scheff, Canada's No. 1 umpire will be on hand for instruction purposes, We would suggest that any sponsors, coa- ches, managers and umpires in this district try to attend the school because of Its validity for the coming baseball season. WATER SAFETY With the Exeter Kinsmen Playground swim programme not too far off in the distant future and many people heading for their favourite swimming areas on the weekends, it would be wise for all of us to take a minute and brush up on many of the water safety rules. Now this may seem like a waste of time to many of us, but last year 33 people drowned in the month of June alone, ano- ther 52 in July and 46 inAugust. Reasons are many for the num- ber of drownings that took place, but the majority of incidents rests strongly on the fact of just plain carelessness! Children totalling 41 in all under six years of age lost their lives last year while ano- ther 51 from 7-15 years also drowned. Being that the Canadian Red Cross has set aside June 2-8 as Water Safety Week in Cana- da, let's not shrug our shoulders and say this couldn't happen to me! Because it can! Make sure that YOU observe all the water safety rules that are made. They are printed for apurpose, so let's use them. Remember, it's better to be a safe, humble swimmer than a proud corpse! P.O. Box 478 GODERICH, ONTARIO Hot dogs were the order of the day at the annual Exeter minor hockey banquet Thursday. Above, Ruth Durand and Lois Hern, heading for the tables, were intercepted by a pair of hungry minor hockeyists Lance McLarne and Ronnie Ferguson. Over 800 dogs were consumed, --T-A photo The backstopping duties will be shared by Dick McFalls and Rick Boyle, both graduates of the local minor baseball system. A pair of newcomers to the baseball scene locally, Jim Carey and Terry McCauley are vieing for the first base job with Jim Hen- nessey. Fellow schoolmasters, Lyle Little and George Wright, will be taking care of the dou- ble play situations around second with John Wade, a Crediton youngster holding down the hot corner position. Outfielders from a year ago, Simon Nagel, Joe Wooden, Ron Bogart and Rev. John Boyne 'are returning and will be getting op- position for outer gardening duties from Ron Anderson, Ron. HeyWood and a pair of former Hensallites, Murray Bell and Bob Baynham, Also working out at various positions are Gord Strang and Bob Russell, the latter trying a come-back after a lengthy lay-off. The playing personnel up Listowel way appears to 'be quite similar to previous years. Veterans Ken Benjamin, Ken Lawrence, Mur- ray Colquhoun and till Skelding will be a few of the familiar faces along with probably a few additions from their good junior club and over- age juniors. At Staffa, business manager Bob Sadler reports most of the regulars will be back. Not- able additions to the club will be the regular play of Roger Pauli after seeing limited action a year ago because of employment out of town and the acquisition of Joe Lepnicky, Lepnicky, now the station agent at Dublin, is an experienced performer having seen OBA action with intermediate teams from Walsingham and. South River. Gerald Bell, last year in charge of the Hensall club and one of their pitching stalwarts could also be heading for the Staffa nine. At Zurich, playing manager Don O'Brien expects to go with basically the same club as in 1962. The only absentee from a year ago will be shortstop Don Genttner and possible added starters are Bill Shaddick and Bruce Moir from 'the defunct Hensall nine. O'Brien and Dick Bedard will again lead the naoundmen along with Shaddick and a youngster in Frances Deriornme, Earl Wagner and. Jim Bedard are capable of handling the mitt job behind the bat, with the former also available for shortstop duties. Larry Bedard and Ron Deichert will .re- turn to handle the ground balls on the right side of the Infield at first and second respec- tiVely, Phil Overholt, recovered from a broken leg late in the '6g campaign, is ready for third sack action beside shortstop Wagner or Shad, dick, Veteran Doug O'Brien leads the outfield crew along with John Detiornme, Clarence Dix- charrne, midget graduate Richard Stade and Bruce Moir, An outfield fente is being erected at the Exeter park this week 'which will give the long ball hitters an Opportunity to pick up some four-baggers without running too strenuously, MINOR HOCKEY BANQUET Well, another minor hockey season officially came to an end last Thursday evening as the Exeter Minor Hockey Associa- tion held its closing banquet at the Exeter Legion Hall. Counting adults (20 at the head table) and young hockey players, over 300 attended the affair and ate very close to 800 hot dogs. A grand total of 42 trophies were on display, 10 of Which were won by the E.M.H.A, all- star clubs over the past sea- son. Individual trophies were received by the Exeter Kinsmen Midgets and five Robin Hood Oats Trophies were presented for house league achievements. The E.M.H.A. expresses their sincere appreciation to Mrs. Ruth Durand, Mrs. Grace Farquhar, Mrs. Irene Harness and Mrs. Peg Hunter-Duvar for their all-day duty at the Legion Hall in preparing the meal and arranging many other miscel- laneous items. Also a vote of thanks goes out to Norma Parsons, Lois Bern, Mary Holtzman, Agnes Apple- ton, Phyllis Haugh, Barb Har- rison, Joyce Weber, Max Load- er, Maida Baynham, Iva Idle, Dorothy Brintnell, Eileen Ful- cher, and Verna Bowers for the part they played to make the banquet a success, And last but not least to Mr. and Mrs. Horace Pfaff for the fine job of setting up the tables etc: MINOR BALL COACHES Minor baseball coaches for all-star entries into the Wes- tern Ontario Athletic Associa- tion have been found for our four teams. Lorne Haugh and yours truly will look after the squirt divi- sion; Jim "Red" Loader and Gard Baynham will handle the pee wees; Jim Paisley and "Bunny" Ford have the Exeter Legion Bantams; and Rev, John Boyne and Keith Strang will look after the Exeter Kinsmen Midgets.
