Over 1,000 athletes, girls and boys, competed in the Huron- Perth track and field meet which actually started in Mitchell on Wednesday. Because of rain, the events were shifted to St. Marys on Thursday afternoon.

CHAMPION Ken Davidson- 18 pts. RUNNER-UP Graham Hern- 12 pts. Five new records were es- tablished and two more equalled this week as the Exeter Public School held its annual track and field meet. Oddly enough, every high jump event throughout the liar, ipus classifications for girls was either beaten or tied as the athletes were at their best for the competitions. Cheryl Parsons, who copped this year's seniorgirle division championship With 18 points, broke the old high jump mark of 3' 10" jointly shared by Donna. Bridges and Darlene Snell, with a leap of an even four feet, Intermediate gi r 1 s' cham- pion, Carol Lynn Shapton broke the old high jump mark of Shir- ley Genttner's (3' 9") with a superlative 4' 7" leap. Ron Janke tossed the softball 180'10" to better Ulke Nagel's old mark of 179' 2" for a new record in intermediate boys' competitions. Elizabeth Gosar's junior girls' 50-yard dash record of 7.2 seconds fell to fleet-footed Penny McDonald who turned on the steam to finish in the bril- liant time of 6.6 seconds. Dianna Brasseur equalled the high jump mark for junior girls' with a 3' 4" effort. Linda Wells previously set the mark. In pee wee competition, Trudy Stagg jumped 2' 10" to better Joan Campbell's old mark of 2' 9" for another new record. The intermediate boys' 75- yard dash record of 10 seconds was first established by Jack Glover and Fred Simmons. Ron Janke made it a three way tie with his run in this year's track meet, established and two others were equalled during the two day episode. Final point standings of the meet were as follows: St. Marys 118; Central Huron of Clinton 106; Goderich 95; S tr atf o r d Central 84; Listowel 48; Mit- chell and South Huron 31 each; Seaforth 10 and Stratford North- Western 3.

Spring Sale All Items Reduced Up To 50 % What else can I win? Where do I go? Who must I beat? What happens now? These are some of the ques- tions South Huron District High School's pride and joy, Caro- lynne Simmons, couldn't be blamed for asking herself after competing in the Huron-Perth Conference track and field meet at St. Marys this week. The slim 18-year-old athlete completed a cycle very rarely accomplished by the hundreds and hundreds of students who compete in track and field meets throughout their second ar y school years. Miss Simmons carried the school colours to the senior girls' individual championship. This title, coupled with the intermediate and junior cham- pionships of previous years, completes the cycle for the 113-pound athlete and one that she might well be proud of. At St. Marys, Carolynne post- ed two new Conference records in her title march. In the standing broad jump, a leap of 7' 71/2" bettered the old mark of 7' 5". She also rewrote the record books in the 220-yard dash. TheSouthHuron athlete left the field in the dust as she crossed the finish line a good 25 yards ahead of her nearest competitor for a record run of 28.3 seconds. The old mark was 31.2. GOODALE WINS DASH The only other female com- petitor from South Huron to register a first place finish was Dora Goodale in the junior girls' 220-yard dash event. The young athlete covered the track in 30.1 seconds for ared ribbon. David Taylor placed second and Allen Oke third in the 12- pound shot put event for inter- mediate boys. Bob Storie picked up a third in the one mile event as did Dale McAllister in the 440- yard run. David Taylor's effort in the discus was good enough for a third to round out the inter- mediate boys' winnings. A pair of third place finishes were all the junior entries could produce. CHAMPS DECLARED Division champions and run- ner-ups were declared through- out the various divisions of the Public School competitions. For the first time in the history of the school, there wasn't one person in the five pee wee division events who placed in the winners circle on more than one occasion. Con- sequently, a special elimina- tion contest of the dash, broad jump, high jump and softball throw was held to decide a champion. When the final results reach- ed the judges' stand, it turned out that Vicki Edwards was champion with 11 points. Trudy Stagg was runner-up with 10. Ken Davidson and Cher yl Parsons, the two senior cham- pions, each compiled an 18- point total in winning the ir titles. Davidson paced first in the hop, step and jump, high jump and 100-yard dash for 15 points and collected another three by finishing second in the running broad jump. Cheryl Parsons registered five-point victories in the standing broad jump, high jump and softball throw. The other three point effort came in the 75-yard dash when she placed second. Carol Lynn Shapton was away out in front in the intermediate girls division as she topped her closest rival by 10 points. First-place finishes in the standing broad jump, high jump and running broad jump gave her a distinctive edge. Carolynne Simmons, South Huron District High School athlete, won the senior girls individual championship in St. Marys Thurs- day afternoon as the Huron-Perth Conference held its annual track and field meet. Miss Simmons set new records in the standing broad jump and 220-yard dash while accomplishing her feat. The victory gave Carolynne a complete cycle of individual championships. Previously she won the junior and intermediate titles for her school.

Well, if you're tired of the same old routine day after day, then stock car racing could be your answer. All you need is as driver's license, a strong disposition, a steady hand at the wheel, a paid up insurance policy, plenty of guts—and you're in business. If you haven't got all of these quali- ties, then I strongly urge you not to enter this spine-tingling field of relaxation (did I say relaxation?) Roaring motors, screeching tires, spills galore and the thrill of travelling 75 miles an hour down the home stretch with cars on all sides of you, is the type of life that is centred around 21-year-old Ed Roelofs, Exeter and 22- year-old Bill Yuel of Russeldale. You see, these two lads are stock car rac- ing enthusiasts. To the best of my knowledge, I believe they are the only ardent stock-car en- thusiasts in the area, Actually Ed Roelofs does all the driving and most of the mechanical work. Bill Yule helps out in the mechanic field. Bill and Ed are both in the mechanic field and have put in a little better than two years on their jobs, Ed works for Hayter's Garage, Dash- wood, while Bill toils for Guenther-Tuckey Trans- ports Ltd. With this in mind, it makes the feat that these two boys accomplished even more amazing. They built a stock car known as "The Flying Dutchman" in only five days! The two got hold of a '52 Ford and with their main items of tools a sledge hammer and a torch, turned the Ford body into something that would make Henry Ford go out of his mind. Here are some of the changes that were made. They chopped and cut down the fenders and doors; took out the glass, front and rear, and upholstery; left in only one seat for the driver; installed a '50 Mercury rebuilt engine; changed from a six to 12-volt ignition system for more zip; locked the car in second gear for all-round track driving; added rear end welded spiders to give it both wheel drive; front coils, heated and changed down on inside corner; back springs were heated down; windshield was taken out; in- stalled partial plastic shield to protect driver; rims were cut, reversed and welded for wider traction; roll bars, which are mandatory, were installed; overflow can was installed to catch water from rad so that it doesn't get on the track; and the exhaust is directly off the motor on a piece of 4" pipe. How about that! Wait a minute, we're not done yet! They have also installed a Volkswagen tire for inside turning and 800 tires for lean on the corners. According to Ed, the baldest tire you can get the better it is. They stick better to the track where the tread ire has the tendency to slide too much. If you're still with us, you might wonder how in the world two people could get to like this occupation. Well it all started about 10 years ago when Ed used to go to Nilestown and Dela- ware to see the races at least once a week. At this time Ed was an ardent stamp collector. So it's gone from one extreme to another. When asked how he became involved with racing, the 6' 2" Roelofs lad said, "It became my favourite hobby since getting my license. I've been working on cars day-in day-out. This is my second year in the business. I started mid-way through the season last summer when Cudmore Auto Wreckers sponsored me. I only won one race in the 35 to 40 I drove in but I finished con- sistently in the top three positions. It cost me about $40 last year to keep the car in shape. I won about $160 in what I call my first year of experience," Ed has changed sponsors this year and has built his own car to his satisfaction. McStephen Auto Wreckers, Crediton took up sponsorship. "McStephen is a real fair guy to deal with," stated Ed enthusiastically as we looked over his machine. The Flying Dutchman will carry number 78 on its doors. Ed chose this number after watching hundreds of cars over the years that failed to have such a number. Bill Yule, who hopes to have his own racer in the near future, first met Ed under peculiar circumstances. Ed ran out of gas on high- way 4. When Bill picked him up, the two got talking about stock cars. Finally Bill went to see Ed in action. And as Bill puts it, "I joined forces after the bug kinda hit me." The club held an election of officers which were: Commo- dore, Ken Giles; vice-commo- dore, John Young; secretary- tr , easur er, Mrs. C. R. Gal- lienne; racing, John Skinner; hydrographer, Roy Robinson; building and moorings, Eric Taylor; junior club, Clay Gal- lienn e; entertainment, Mrs. Ivan Hunter-Duvar, Mrs. G. G. Copestake and John Young. INTERMEDIATE: 75-yard dash: Judy Glover (92/5 sec); Joan Campbell; Debbie Janoff; Talk it over Driver Ed Roelofs and partner Bill Ytile talk over strategy they plan to use in the Victoria Day races at Nilestown and Dele- ware race tratks. The resUlts Were entouraging, At Niles toWn, RoelbIS scored a first In the fifth race, Hobby Conso. lation; in a 12-lap Marathon. At DeleWare, ,‘The F 1 ying Dutchman", NO. 18 placed third in the Hobby Heat, first race Of the afternoon card. Roelefs and Yule plan to race the Ply, ing totobtnoa at least twice week throbighout the stock Car racing season. T-A
