Rec Director Alvin Willert passes along word
that registrations for the summer swim program will
be accepted until July 6. At the moment about 150
registrations have been received as compared to 307
a year ago.
Of this number in 1966, 40 were from Hensall.
This year the bean village is operating its own rec-
reation program and will be sending at least 50
youngsters to the Exeter pool by bus for daily les-
sons. A native of Teterboro, Michael Miner, is in
charge of the summer program instituted by the Hen-
sail recreation committee.
The season charge for each youngster par-
ticipating in the local swim program is $5 with a
maximum of $10 for any one family. Willert notes
that one family in the area has six boys and girls
registered and they will receive the package deal
for the stated $10.
In addition to the swimming sessions, the an-
nual Kinsmen playground program opens on July
5 with registrations accepted at Exeter Community
Park and Victoria Park for a yearly fee of only one
dollar.
The varied program of sports activities will
run every day, Monday to Friday through until
August 11 with daily sessions from 9 to 11:30 a.m.
and 1:30 to 4 p.m.
The local playground supervisors, Linda Litt,
Judy Glover, Eleanor Stanlake, Arlene Chipchase
and Wendy Neil attended a four-day instructors'
course at Goderich summer camp last week and are
ready and able to look after the youngsters in cap-
able fashion.

Tigers continue hot pace
in Huron-Perth ball loop
to propel their first batter to
the plate in the game around the
bases and were never headed.
Chub Edwards opened the game
with a single, moved to second
on Gerry Finnen's similar safety,
to third on Ron Bogart's sacria
fice and in to tally on Murray
Brintnell's one base blow.
They upped the margin to 2-0 in
the third as lead-off batter Finnen

score on another Brintnell bingle,
The only Teen Town tally came
in the sixth as catcher Bill Fair-
bairn singled and after the next
two batters were retired rode
home on Bob Wolfe's long double
to right centre field. Pitcher Dave
Woods followed with a single to
move Wolfe to third but Bennett
was able to get the next Teener
to ground out ending the rally.
Reversing the procedure in the
top of the seventh the Legion
loaded the bases with nobody
out, but Woods was able to shut
the door without any damage
being done.
Chub Edwards, Gerry Finnen
and Murray Brintnell each col-
lected two hits to lead the Legion
hitting attack while Bob Baynham
added a lone single to the cause.

test.
The Legion and Kinsmen new

and one defeat while the Teeners
are even at one and one. The
Crediton Tigers are in the league
basement, winless in two starts.
All four teams are in action

CLUTCH PITCHING
Dick Bennett who gained the
pitching win in the Legion's 2-1

COME FROM BEHIND
Back to back triples from the
bats of Lyle Little and Jim Hew-
itt with two out in the top of the
seventh capped a five-run rally
that allowed the Kinsmen to edge
the Legion 0-7 in a Thursday
thriller at the local park.
The eventual winners scored a
single run in the first to take a
short-lived lead. The Legion
bounced back with a six-run out-
burst in the third and followed
with a single tally in the fourth
to complete their run total for the
night,
Consecutive singles by Ken

in the third.
The base hits were collected
by Murray Brintnell, Dick Ben-
nett, Cy Blommaert and pitcher
Don Mousseau. Chub Edwards'
single in the fourth sent Jim
Hennessey, who had drawn a walk,
around to score in the fourth.

Bantams still unbeaten
in three WOAA starts
on as the Exeterites scored four
in the fifth, two in the sixth and
finished with another four in their
last trip to the plate. The visit-
ors added one in the fifth and
tried to salt the game away with
a six run spurt in the sixth.
Murray Hodge and Ron Linden-
field broke the run barrier for
their Exeter mates in the fourth
as they were able to make the
circuit successfully,
The four run outburst in the
fifth was powered by singles from
the bats of Larry Haugh, Dale
McKenzie, Dennis Ferguson and
Bodge. Ron Janke and Haugh
crossed the plate in the sixth to
put their team run total to eight
while Ferguson, Hodge, Linden-
field and Janke completed the
scoring in the seventh to gain the
tie.
Due to the absence of regular
hurler Greg Revington, the Ex-
eter mound duties were shared
by Murray Hodge, Ron Janke and
Ron Lindenfield.
The next WOAA bantam action
will pit the locals against New
Hamburg on the Exeter diamond
tonight, Thursday at 6:30,
The consolation winners were
Jack Delbridge and Glenn Mc-
Nabb while Carf Cann won the
special "spider" prizo, a pair
of cuff links donated by Gould
and Jory.
In regular club play Tuesday,
Howard Truemner proved to be
the best competitor of the night,
compiling two wins and a plus of
13.
Registering a like number of
wins and a 10 plus enabled Lil-
lian Pym to nail down second
spot. Finishing in third and fourth
place were Len McKnight and
Ross Taylor, recording a plus of
nine and six, respectively in ad-
dition to two triumphs.
Everything is in readiness for
the biggest duel in the history of
Exeter. Tonight, Thursday, is
the date and the Exeter Lawn
Bowling club is supplying the
weapons.
The duel will be friendly and
the weapons will be lawn bowls
as 44 newcomers to the sport of
lawn bowling meet in a centennial
jitney at the local greens.
The novice greensmen have
been practicing faithfully for a
couple of weeks and each doubles
entry will have a coach from the
present membership.

help from southpaw Dave Ratz to
get the final two outs in the ninth.
The Tigers jumped on starter
Ernie Ahrens for three runs in
their first time at bat and were
never headed although the Vets
loaded the bases withonly one out
in the eighth but failed to score
more than a single run.
Consecutive singles after two
were out from the bats of Bill
Schade, Whitey Denomme, Dave
Ratz and Jim Hayter sent the
first Dashwood markers scurry-
ing across the plate.
The visiting Vets dented the
score sheet in the top of the
sixth when catcher Laverne
"Porky" Wallace was hit by a
pitched ball, moved up on apass-
ed ball and completed his base
cycle on an infield error.
The Dashwood crew retaliated
in their half of the same frame
as Jim Hayter drew a walk,
moved to third as the result of
a sacrifice and a Mitchell miscue
and scored on Webb's sacrifice
fly to centre field.
Mitchell threatened in the
eighth but only scored once as
second sacker Dennis Hughey,
drew a free ticket tofirst, moved
up on a fielder's choice and
completed his trip as two of his
mates also worked their way to
first by way of walks.
SLOW STARTING
On their home field Tues-
day, the Zurich Lumber Kings
waited until the seventh and
eighth innings to get on the score-
board as they lost '7-2 to Mit-
chell,
Veteran right hander George
Coveney went the distance for
the Legionnaires and recorded
11 strike-outs. Dick Bedard, Don
O'Brien and Rob McNaughton
shared the pitching duties for the
Kings.
Greys fan out
in second loss
Exeter bantams continued their
unbeaten ways in WOAA baseball
play over the past week in a pair
of games with St. Marys.
On the Exeter diamond Thurs-
day, the locals scored four times
in the last of the seventh to gain
a 12-12 tie and Tuesday were
on the right side of a 5-2 count
in St. Marys.
Behind the four hit pitching
of Greg Revington, the Exeter
boys scored three times in the
first inning of Tuesday's contest
and were never headed. They
added their final markers in
their fourth trip to the plate.'
while the home team registered
single counters in the first and
fourth frames.
Dennis Ferguson's single, plus
walks to Allan McLeanandLarry
Haugh combined with a couple of
infield outs sent the first Exeter
tallies home.
Again in the fourth it was the
generosity of the St. Marys pitch-
ing staff in issuing free tickets
to Bob Parsons and Revington
that allowed the Exeter run total
to be increased by two.
The Stone Town kids, down by
three runs in their last chance
at the plate posed a mild threat
by getting two runners aboard but
Greg Revington rose to the oc-
casion by throwing the third
strike past the last hitter. It was
his ninth fanning of the game.

LOTS OF ACTION
The 12-12 stalemate on the
Exeter diamond, Thursday pro-
vided the fans with plenty of
action. Each team had runners
on base in nearly every inning
due mostly to walks and errors.
The St. Marys nine jumped into
a 5-0 lead in the second inning
and that's the way the score stay-
ed until the locals found the range
in the fourth for two markers.
From here on in the battle was

Swish, swish, swish, were the
sounds emanating from Exeter
Community Park Tuesday night
as the Brucefield gals downed
the Exeter Greys 9-2 in South
Huron Ladies' softball action.
In the regulation seven inning
game, the Brucefield hurling
combination of Betty Swan and
Betty Graham recorded 19
strike-outs out of a possible 21.
The Greys pitching combo of
Patti Robinson and pat Down was
also effective in the fanning de-
partment sending 10 Brucefield
batters back to the bench without
touching the third strike.
Brucefield wasted little time
in getting onto the score sheet
as they scored twice in their
first time at the plate and came
back with at least one run in
every inning but the fifth in
ringing up the convincing win.
The Greys posed their only
serious scoring threat in the
fifth when they managed to nab
four of their total hit produc-
tion of five.
Patti Robinson and Brenda Din-,
ney opened the frame with singles
and raced in to score on a simi-
lar base hit from the bat of Joan

SHOULD BE A THRILLER
One of the •best softball games of the season
is in the making for the Exeter Community Park
Saturday night at 8:30 as part of the town's Cen-
tennial celebrations.
An all-star team from the Exeter and district
Rec softball league will tackle the BS & B Rads from
London. A former local star •in many sports, Rick
Boyle, handles the shortstop position for the Lon-
don crew while his keystone partner is Frankie An-
derson, a star with the Exeter Mohawks hockey club
of a few years back.
Howard "Casey" Holtzmann, mastennind of
the Exeter Legion club, last year's league champions,
will be directing the all-star aggregation. This will
pretty well be the same club that edged London Life
in a real thriller last summer at the official opening
of the new floodlights at the local park.
The BS & B Rads with Boyle and Anderson
in the lineup are currently leading the London Sen-
ior Open "A" league and only Saturday won the Lon-
don Centennial softball tourney.
This outstanding ball game is only one of the
many attractions lined up by the centennial com-
mittee to officially celebrate our country's 100th
birthday on Saturday.
After a parade that will leave Victoria Park
at 4 o'clock and official opening of Riverview Park
and a picnic lunch, the sports program will be
launched 'at 6:30.
The swimming pool will be open for free
swimming from 6:30 to 8:30 and everyone is invited
to make use of the excellent facilities. During this
same time period, 'a canoe jostling event will be
held in the river and boys and girls too small to
swim will be entertained with games and races.
At least four two-man teams are being or-
ganized to compete in the test of balance in a canoe.
While the navigator manoeuvres the boat his partner
attempts to knock his opposition into the drink by
the means of a long pole.
The entire evening will be concluded with a
mammoth fireworks display after the ball game.
Yes, one item we forgot. The beard judging contest
will be held some time during the evening. Our chin
could be quite warm by next week with all of that
wonderful insulation gone.
CHANGES ARE MADE
While the expansion draft occupied most of
the time at the recent National hockey league meet-
ings one important change was made in increasing
the authority of the game officials.
Starting in the 1967-68 season the two lines-
men will be given more power to assist the referee.
Previously, the most important chore of the two
helpers was in breaking up fights and calling off-
sides.
The two-referee system, which we think is a
good idea had earlier been suggested for the NHL
as a means of taking the pressure off the single of-
ficial and putting a second man of authority on the
ice.
In the recent changes, linesmen may signal
violations, as they do in soccer, up to and including
misconduct penalties. According to the old regula-
tions only the referee could call a penalty but when
a linesman signals an infraction next season, it isn't
likely he will be over-ridden by the referee. Under
the new rules, he signals the infraction and the ref-
eree offically calls the penalty.
In a sense, •it puts the linesmen to work and
minimizes the occasions when players can escape
detection. Under the old system a penalty could only
be called when the referee himself was a witness
to the infraction. And too many times, when players
were elbowed, highsticked or speared, the referee
would have to tell them honestly —"Sorry, I didn't
see it."
A HANDY BOOKLET
The Department of Transport has just issued
a new booklet, "Safety Afloat" which will be quite
helpful to owners of pleasure boats and small com-
mercial craft, We will pass along some of the in-
formation contained.
You have just bought a boat, or are about
to buy one, and you are asking yourself: "What do
I do next?" If you buy a car, 'the first thing you do
is licence it. This is also true of pleasure boats which
have propelling power, either inboard or outboard,
of 10 horsepower or, more and do not exceed 20
tons registered tonnage.
Non compliance with this requirement entails
a fine of up to $100. You must get a licence before
the boat is operated on the water. If your motor is
less than 10 horsepower, you need not get a licence,
but many owners of small boats find it useful to get
one anyway Since it •helps in cases of theft,
