Manore's Riverside Marine Win awards for costumes at playground The annual Cowboy and Indian week was climaxed at the Exeter Kinsmen summer playground with an all-out war at Riverview Park, Friday. After the gun smoke cleared and the arrows and toma- hawks were wiped clear of blood, no one had enough energy left to decide who were the actual win- ners. However, the winners of the best costumes are pictured here (taken before the battle natural- ly) and from the left in the back row are: Kathy Dewar, Daryle Penhale and Debbie Wooden, who finished in that order for the cowgirls; Steven Holtzman, Jimmy Cockwell and Butch Johnston, best cowboys.

Kin Playground patter Kids plan UN activities While The T-A sports page lacks its usual number of stories of events of the past week, the situation is not caused entirely by the fact we have been unable to secure the ser- vices of a part-time sports writer. The weatherman actually forced cancellation of many of the ball games and other ac- tivities in the area. The T-A will continue to at- tempt to provide a complete — though it may be briefer— coverage of all activities in the sporting world, but we must have the co-operation of all team, league and group officials to accomplish this. All scores and accounts of games and events should he left at the office the following day after the event has been staged. This is necessary because there is not time to contact officials by telephone. The support of all concerned will be greatly appreciated in this matter. Greys trounce Clinton squad Exeter's Greys got back on the winning trail when they travelled to ,J1inton Thursday and chalked up a decisive 17-6 win. They built up an eight-run lead for pitcher Jean Chuter before Clinton got to her for one run in the fourth and four in the fifth. Despite the decisive score, Clinton actually out-hit the lo- cals as they rapped out 13 safeties to Exeter's 11. How- ever, 16 free passes kept the base paths filled with Greys throughout the seven-inning fix- ture. Audrey Pooley led the Exe- ter attack with a double and two singles, Darlene Snell hit a triple to go with a single for two hits and Mary Gravett pounded out a pair as well. Ann Cronyn, Lee Souche reau, Carmel Marshall and Chuter also had one each. Five of the Clinton players picked up two hits apiece in an unsuccessful attempt to aid Williams on the mound.

RED HOT USED CAR BARGAINS The supervisors on Kin park for the first week were Lana Keller, Sharon Carpenter and myself. At Victoria Park, Shirley Genttner and Nancy McTavish managed the wading pool and also a senior program. Elsie Gosar handled all the age groups at Queens Park. The children played games, sang songs and made crafts which greatly ex- emplified the theme, The crafts included Indian necklaces, torn toms, rattles, arm bands, peace pipes and grain sack costumes. Cowboy chaps, pictures in foam and crayons were made besides soap carving. This week is International United Nations Week. There will be a parade Friday and the children are expected to wear a costume depicting a foreign Area dogs cop contest awards By CAROLYNNE SIMMONS A Cowboy and Indian theme announced the beginning of an- other playground season. The registration for the first week was close to the 80 mark and we hope to reach the 130 mark by the end of next week. So far the dominant age group is under 12 and the supervisors are finding It difficult to run a senior program when there are too few participants. The program for seniors in- cludes volleyball, basketball, badminton, baseball, floor- hockey and archery. Crafts include plastic lacing popsicle sticks, kites, Japanese gardens, plaster-of-paris moulding, puppets, paper crafts and paper mache. So lets see a few more seniors (12-14) on the playgrokuid! It's time again for the youngsters of ',Ex- eter and community to enroll in the third annual "1100111'S 'Kin Camp" sponsored jointly by the Exeter Kinsmen Club and the Exeter Recreation. Held on the Goderich Summer School campsite about three miles north of Goderich, this popular camp will accommodate approximate- ly 115 local youngsters, Due to a busy schedule, the camp will be held one week later this year, operating from August 9 to 16. With the first day of camp almost one month away, registrations are pouring in, with More than 20 coming from newcomers. , Of the first campers registered, four are from London, being relatives of Exeter residents. "Boom" Gravett will again be in charge of the direction of the camp for the third time. Mrs. Fred Simmons and Mary Gravett are ,hand- Hug the duties of Camp Mothers. Another faith- ful staff member, Mrs. Jessie Share of St. Marys, will return as camp nurse to administer to the cuts. bruises, etc. that may occur, Six playground supervisors of the Exeter summer program will be in charge of the various sports and handicrafts that will keep the boys and girls busy for an entire week. Swimming will continue to be a feature of the week-long program with two hours available to each par- ticipant per day and a permanent swim instruct- or of the Goderich camp in charge. While th emain object is to have fun and enjoy their stay at the lake, each camper is re- sponsible for some duties. The cabins must be kept clean daily and each boy and girl takes their turn in the mess hall in a dish-washing capacity. Were you listening, mother? We hear by the grapevine that several of the new camp counsellors are mean pillow swing- ers. This ability may change the outcome of the annual pillow fight between campers and leaders. In previous years, the campers have prevailed as the top feather thumpers, As in the past two years, a track and field meet will give every youngster a chance to par- ticipate in various events. Each day's activities are completed with a vesper service on the hill overlooking Lake Huron, We visited this camp for a few hours last summer and were impressed with the entire set- up, It is a well organized, well directed camp giving a complete and varied program for child- ren of all ages. A pleasant holiday. Any prospective campers wishing to par- take of this special holiday should contact "Boom" or any playground supervisor at the various parks as soon as possible to ensure a spot at camp. Age limits are from 8 to 15 years of age and the cost for the full week is $14.00. Another "special" of the camp is a Back- wards Day. Day-long activities are run off in a reverse manner. The day gets started with a campfire; clothes are worn backwards; everyone walks in reverse and meals are begun with des- sert first. been playing in a very 'successful Inter-Mess league at Centralia, Coach Ed Lesnick has select- ed 18 to do battle with the invaders from the "north". Veteran pitchers Al Wiper 'and Monty Montomura will be handling the mound chores for Centralia. Any fans from the area will be welcome to sit in en this series Dogs from Crediton and Il- derton copped two of the major awards when 250 purebred dogs were shown at the Oxford County Kennel Club show in Woodstock, Saturday. The dogs came from through- out Ontario and several U.S. entries vied for ribbons as well, The best Canadian-bred dog in the show was a boxer owned by Mr, and Mrs. Scott McNair, Ilderton. The McNair dogs have copped several championships in recent shows. Best Canadianbred puppy was a Doberman Pinscher owned by Mrs. Beatrice England, Credi- ton. xeter Limited Cheri. Olds. Chevy.. Trucks Thane 235- 0060 ORIOLES CONTINUE WINNING WAYS Anybody surprised that the Baltimore Orioles are still leading the American League? In the early May poll taken of the various baseball experts in thi area, only three picked the Orioles to finish as high as third place. The respective league leaders on July 4th are usually given a pretty good chance of going on to participate in the World Series. We doubt if this will hold true this year. especially in the national circuit. Philadelphia Phils, early leaders, have al- ready faltered since the American holiday and have been overtaken by the San Francisco Giants. The main reason for the surge of the Giants has to be the stellar hitting of Willie Mays. The 33- year-old Mays is hitting at a .337 clip, third best in the league and leads in three other depart- ments, Our "guessperts" were right on the ball in picking Willie almost unanimously to top the hit- ter in home runs. In the round tripper section, "Batch" Wolfe. the squire of the local Tiger corner, was the only participant to omit Mays. Roberto Clemente, veteran outfielder of the Pittsburg Pirates, leads the batting average parade in the National with a healthy .348 ave- rage. NortInend grocer Stan Frayne was the only selector to guess that Clemente would be tops and one of three that gave Whitey Ford the pitching nod in the American loop. Incidentally, the American's leading hitter, Pedro Oliva of the Minnesota Twins, celebrates his 24th birthday next Monday. One of the brighter prospects in baseball today, Wally Bunker, rookie hurler with the lead- ing Baltimore Orioles, is the youngest player in his league at the age of 19. Two members of the Chicago White Sox celebrate birthdays the same day on July 26, but there is quite a difference in ages. Pete Ward, star third sacker of the Sox, will be 25, while veteran knuckleballer Hoyt Wilhelm chalks up his 41st year. Wilhelm is the second oldest com- petitor in either league, being bested by a couple of months by teammate Minnie Minoso. THEY'RE AT IT AGAIN Everyone has heard of the Martins and the McCoys and their celebrated feud. Well, we have a similar feud brewing in the immediate area. RCAF Stations Centralia and Clinton are getting set to engage hi their annual fastball battle to determine Western Ontario representa, tion in the RCAF Training Command playoffs. The first of a best-of-three series will be played at the local air station tonight, Thursday, at 8:30, with the rettirn game in Clinton Monday, July 20, at the same time.
