The Legion sponsored Ban- tams will travel to Dashwpod while the Exeter Kinsmen Mid- gets will host Hensall at the local Community centre grounds. Gord Strang and Rel.'. Boyne will once again handle the mid- gets. Lorne liaugh's Exeter nee wees will host St. Marys in their schedule opener in Exeter on June 22. Students taking part in the conservation school planned by the Ausable River Conservation Authority will have a week off school, but it won't be a holiday in the true sense of the word. "It will, be a definite edu- cational experience," com- mented Terry McCauley, field- man for the ARC A. However, the itinerary listed shows the lads won't be bored at any time during the full week of activity and the students par- ticipating will undoubtedly have a few chuckles as they think of their cohorts back in their classrooms, as they themselves cavort out in the open at the Sylvan Boy Scout camp. The program is beingplanned due to the ARCA thinking that conservation education is one of the Authority's most impor- tant tasks. It is secondary only to the actual physical develop- ment and restoration of the re- newable resources in the water- shed. "No matter how extensive a program of primary conserva- tion work the Authority under- takes, it will be to no avail unless complemented by an in- stilling in the hearts and minds of our young people, a full and practical appreciation of the basic concepts in living the conservation philosophy." About 18 grade 10 boys from each of HSDHS and North Mid- dlesex DHS at Parkhill will spend a week at the camp from June 15 to 19. Grade seven and eight stu- dents from Exeter Public School, the J. A. D. McCurdy School at Huron Park, Park- hill Public School, Precious Blood Separate School at Exe- ter and Sacred Heart Separate School at Parkhill will spend the week from June 22 to 26. The cost will be shared by the ARCA, the school boards and the parents of those attend- ing. The boys will be living out in the wide open spaces at the scenic 240-acre camp main- tained by the London District of the Boy Scouts of Canada. Their "homes" will be re- plicas of the old conestogacov- ered wagons. Four boys sleep in each wa- gon. Facilities for eating and pro- grams on inclement days will be provided in the Frontier House. One of the added attractions at the camp is a large swim- ming pool, which will probably get plenty of use. J. Old wagons become boys' homes These replicas of the old conestoga wagons will become the "homes" of the boys attending the conservation school at Sylvan this month. Area inspector Gil Burrows is up inspecting one of the wagons, which is very authentic in detail, while Terry McCauley, ARCA field officer stands and watches. Shown with his back to the c am e r a on the left is George Busche, RCAF C e n t r al i a metdorologist, who will be one of the lecturers. The wagons will have their covered tops put in place before the lads move in with their sleeping bags. --T-A photo After an orientation period on Monday morning, 9. R. Bry- son, from the London BoyScotit coining, will tell the youths of the historical background of the Sylvan camp. An old pioneer trail runs through the land and evidence of early settlements can be found. The site of an old mill can also be spotted along the twisting river. That evening, a lecture will be given by Dr. Wilfrid Jury, UWO professor, who is an au- thority on the history of the Ausable valley. District forester, J. Fing- land, will conduct a forest con- servation talk on Tuesday and a field trip will be laid out for the afternoon. This will also include a nature study hike through the bush. Russ Johnston, crop and soil expert from Ridgetown, will head the Wednesday program with lectures and a field trip to an area farming enterprise. He will also discuss water con- servation with on-site lectures. That evening, Prof. Winder, UWO geology department, will conduct a study of geology and fossil formation. The lads will have an opportunity to learn more of this with a trip to Reolc Glen. On Thursday, RCAF Cen- tralia meteorologist Georg e Busche will speak on weather studies and. B/C K. R. Green- e w a y, commanding officer, RCAF Clinton, may be on hand for a lecture on polar navigation and explorations. He is one of the leading authorities in North America and has written sev- eral publications on the sub- ject. Wildlife and fisheries management will conclude the program on Friday morning. To defend WOAA title Gals start this week Exeter Greys, who wear bright red uni- forms (can't tell the players or teams without a program, you know) will step out on the diamond this Thursday night at Winthrop in defence of the Western Ontario Athletic Association cham- pionship they won last year. The Greys (or is it Cardinals as Jean Tay- lor suggests) don't seem to be as strong in the pitching department this year, but time will tell. However, the club is stronger than ever in other positions,-.; so they should make a commendable showing and carry the Exeter colors a long way. Coach Lloyd Cushman's Exe- ter Greys will play their first official league home game of the season in Exeter next Tues- day night against Clinton Town. Hugh Hodges, group convenor from RCAF Clinton released the 1964 schedule this week which comprises nine teams. Besides Exeter, Brucefield, RCAF Clinton, Clinton Town, Goderich, Winthrop, Blyth, Brussels and Mitchell are con- nected with the Southern WOAA ladies softball division. The single home-and-home schedule will consist of seven inning games. Exeter Grey's manager, Grace Farquhar, is pleased with the turnouts to date for practises and promises to have another contending team for a shot at the title again this year. The league schedule is as follows: WELL STAFFED The school will be staffed by some of the lecturers, tea- chers from the participating schools, ARCA members, and some of this year's graduates of London Teachers' College. Area public school inspector, Gil Burrows, will also be on hand for some of the week when the students from his inspec- torate are attending. Terry McCauley will handle much of the supervision. The day beings at 7:00 a.m. for the students and lights out are scheduled for 10:00 p.m. Meals will be provided by members of an area ladies' church group. Overwhelming precedent for the operation of this type of school exists in both Great Britain and the United States. By as early as 1950 the U.S.A. had more than 40 such schools, with as many as 357 schools in one state participating. EXETER MEN'S SOFTBALL LEAGUE At a social get-to-gether Thursday evening along with a league business meeting, it was learned that the usual six-team Exeter Men's Recreational Softball League will be expanded into an eight-team grouping this year. We personally extend a sincere welcome to Dashwood and the Cpl's Club of RCAF Cen- tralia in joining the loop, Ron Merner is the mastermind behind the Dashwood entry while ardent bowling enthusiast, Bob "Ozzie" Osgood is in charge of the Centralia club. Over 30 members participate in jitney FULL AGENDA The school's curriculum is modelled after the one at the Albion Hills Conservation School, a permanent project of the Metro Toronto Authority. The boys move in on Monday of their respective weeks and leave for home on Friday after- noon. The period in between is devoted to various phases of conservation, with several noted specialists providing the instruction. Several field trips through sections of the watershed will be conducted to give the stu- dents a first-hand look at the various subjects to be dis- cussed. The Exeter Lawn Bowling Club held its second jitney of the season this week. All seven greens were in use when over 30 club members The Men's league will open this Monday night in Exeter and will play through until the latter part of August before their playoffs begin. Exeter Legion, Exeter Kinsmen, Exeter Bowling Lanes, RCAF Airmen, Hensall Mavericks (last year's Kippen Mavericks) and Crediton Tigers form the rest of the league. and friends took part in the social event. Oddly enough, not one rink could register more than one win throughout the jitney. When all the scores had been tabulated, it turned out that Ray Smith and Mabel McKnight drew top honors with one win, plus nine with an aggregate of 18. Lillian Pym and Mrs. Ray Mills copped second place with one victory, plus nine, and an aggregate of 15. Third place was wrapped up by Ray Mills and Mrs. Selby on one win, plus nine, aggregate 10. The Exeter Lawn Bowling Club, which has been most ac- tive during the early season of play, invite young and old alike to participate in the game. The game is very relaxing and en- joyable and is played out under the lights in the fresh air. AEC NEWS By Don "Boom" Gravett LIZMITZMWAYEEMOMMINGESSZEZMTOSMISMOITEIX474 the teams. We will not dwell on the new additions, but the group is having a gay time. Standings of the two leagues are as follows. BOYS SOFTBALL W L T PTS Tigers . 3 0 0 6 Yankees . 2 1 0 4 Pirates . 1 2 0 2 Giants .. 0 3 0 0 STILL MORE ON BASEBALL Gerry Smith's New York Yankees are not doing so well! We personally hope they start do- ing better because when we dropped in for our weekly head-rub, Gerry rubbed harder than ever. He'll have me bald if Yogi doesn't get the pin- stripe club out of their slump. Farther down the line, known as Tiger dug out, the boys at Fink's Meat Market are hav- ing a field day. As usual, the Bengals delivered the kayo punch to Berra's representatives in their last visit to Tiger town. If the Yankees could play Detroit for two-thirds of the schedule, there wouldn't be any doubt that Detroit would final- ly make a World Series berth. Despite this fact though, the. Tiger rooters continue to dream! (Oh my!) Even further down the line, Exeter's ace Cleveland supporter, Jim Russell, still holds high hopes for the Tribe. He says he thinks they'll even win another game before the season is out. You know, he could be right. The Indians always seem to be able to beat the Tigers but when they tackle the Yankees, it's a horse of a different color, They seem to fold. However, they can't be blamed too much for this. As Gerry the barber says, "Most teams do, ya know!" Future Games: Eddie: "Well, there must be something to be said about this governinent." Frank: "Certainly . . it runs like nobody's business."

The paint sessions on Saturday and Sunday are $1.00 each while the demonstration and lecture by Mr. Watson on Saturday night in the Exeter Town Hall is a mere 500. If yOu can make all of the program or even a portion of it, we suggest that you do. The weekend seminar, which starts at 9:30 Saturday morning (paint- ing outdoors); the seminar Sat- urday night (8:30 at the Town Hall); along With the Sunday afternoon painting, should prove to be very educational and re- warding for all who participate. SO keep the weekend date in mind. Phone or write to Mrs. Gwen Whilsmith, Exeter Art Club president, if you want to attend.

Many clubs throughout the area may have a different approaCh to the subject, but in the long run, all Will be after one thing in common—, A CHAMPIONSHIP! Checking over the minor situation, one finds that Exeter pee wees, under the direction of Lorne Haugh, who guided the all-star pee wee hockey entry to the Ontario semi-finals last winter, will be shooting for a pee wee crown, Jim "Red" Loader ,and. town works super- intendent, Jim Paisley, who will be handling the Exeter Legion Bantams, look to have one of the best chances down the victory trail as they should be able 'to field quite a potent machine. In the midget division, Gordie Strang and. Rev. John Boyne have a question mark confront- ing them. It is not exactly known if enough play- ers will turn out for competition. The players are here. The job is to get them out. Summer jobs and annual vacations seem to pose as the biggest problem in this age group but if they can find the time, the midgets could surprise every- one. Up in the intermediate ranks, Coach Joe Wooden tells us he has "one of the finest in- fields in years" to work with. Pitching could be a question mark. However, they are relying on the strong right arm of big Jim Russell, along with Jimmy Pfaff, Robert Wolfe and Glen Ben- nett to carry them through. Something new has been added to the in- termediate idea this year, and that is that many of their home scheduled games will be played on Sunday afternoon up at the local park. In fact, next Sunday, June 7, they will make their Sab- bath debut in a contest against last year's inter- mediate "C" O.B.A. champions, Staffa Mer- chants.
