This year's presentation is entitled "Toyland" and is expected to be one of the best productions the local club has ever put on. We are certain the young- sters attending Saturday's show will be enchanted by the many toys that will be bouncing out of many props and backgrounds. All kinds of dolls will be included in the show along with animals and various Mother Goose char- acters such as Little Boy Blue, Little Miss Muffett and the Queen of Hearts. One of the features of the show will be the appearance of Wiggily Wally, a combination cater- pillar and worm that was manufactured in Exeter by mothers of five of the skaters. "Wiggily Wally", who measures 30 feet in length, made his official debut in Listowel Friday night and according to reports was a smashing suc- cess. Six skaters from the local club, Ken Davidson, Linda Lowery, Sheila Willert, Judy Estey, Cathy Haltzmann and Yvonne Romaniuk accompanied Wally and helped guide him through his paces. As is the case in most ventures of this sort, a lot of work behind the scenes is necessary before the finished product is ready for a live audience. Preparation for the annual ice show began many months ago involving a number of the executive members of the local figure skating club. The Exeter club's instructress, Mrs, Faye Mc- Donald, is mainly responsible for the presentation as she selects the numbers to be shown in addition to the actual instruction of the youngsters in their intricate manoeuvres. She spends a lot of her off- season time in choosing and taping the proper back- ground music that is very essential to a successful show. Much of the music has been taped from church services. Mrs. McDonald also handles all the chore- ography in connection with the carnival. The last' five days before the carnival are the most hectic for everyone involved. In addition to installing the props and spotlights, costumes are fitted and this sometimes creates a bit of a problem. Monday afernoon was try-on time at the arena when the costumes which are rented from other clubs in Ontario were fitted and a lot of juggling was necessary to find the right size of costume for every performer. The local skating club pays anywhere from one to three dollars for the rental of the costumes for one week. In turn, the skaters pay for the rental of their own finery that you will see them in Satur- day night. The flat rate to the youngsters is $1.50 and the costumes were obtained from Oakville, Dun- das, Unionville and Stratford and were also in use during the Listowel carnival last week. While most .of the costumes are rented, all local skaters appearing in solo or duet numbers sup- ply their own. In order to keep expenses down to a minimum, members of the executive do all the work they possibly can. The program listing all the excit- ing action is laid out and printed by the volunteer group. In a change of policy from other years, local merchants were not canvassed for donations and ad- vertising copy for the program. In an attempt to gain additional financing, the club is sponsoring a dance at the Exeter Legion Hall on March 9 with Neil McCauley and his Swinging Brass supplying the music. While the skating members of the ,club pay a goodly sum of money in registrations, success of the club's year depends on the support received from the general public at the annual carnival, Every year the quantity and quality of skaters is increasing, so we're sure anyone attending the up- coming ice show will be assured of a good night's entertainment. All of the 103 skaters will be appear- ing in at least two numbeq. CARDS DO HELP Valentine cards are usually sent to show one person's love to another and this was certainly the case of a greeting sent by three Clandeboye young- sters to Windsor Raceway last week. ' Laura, Pat and Paul, the children of Mr. and Mrs. Art Hodgins of Clandeboye, were writing their numerous Valentine greetings early last week when they decided to include one to their best friend, Ima Boo Boo, a four-year-old mare stabled at the Windsor track. Tina Boo Boo was raised on the Hodgins' farm and was a pet to the three children who were sad- dened When their favorite was claimed by Ted Dey of Fowlerville, Michigan, a couple of weeks ago. There is actually a happy ending to this story. When the valentine card arrived in Windsor, trainer- driver Terry O'Brien was so impressed by the friend- ly gesture of the Hodgins' children that he showed it around the backstretch. Because of this, O'Brien may have put a little extra effort into his driving Thursday night as he urged Ima Boo Boo to make a strong finish and win the first race in the good time of 2:10 2/5. While the Hodgins children certainly miss having Ima Boo Boo around the farm, they are not without another companion. They have high hopes for the future of a sister of their lost favorite. Ex- pected -to start training next spring is two-year-old Itsa Boo Boo. Race fans will have little trouble associating the Hodgins family with their horses as they race 'Under the name of Boo Bola stables. IRON MAN RECORD The amazing late Lou Gehrig of the New York Yankees never missed an American League baseball game for 14 years even though he suffered from many injuries that would have kept swine players on the sidelines, Among his .numerous ailments were a chipped elbow, a chipped hand operation, broken little finger Uri fits- right hand four times, six other fingers broken at Other times, broken toes, torn leg muscles, a wrenched shoulder arid several attacks of lumbago., Yet from June 1, 1925 through to April 30, 1980, Lou aehrig ran Up a playing streak of 2,180 consecutive Triakor l'eagrUA games. Tt is at 'endurance record that will stand as long as baseball, is played. Crediton Tigers suffered only their second loss of the season on Sunday night at the Exeter arena as they were edged 7-5 by the Monkton Wildcats in the third game of the district WOAA Intermediate "D" semi-finals. Crediton leads the best of seven set two games to one with the fourth going in Monkton Friday and the fifth back at the local arena Sunday night at 8:30. The Tigers had taken a two game lead in the series as the result of a '7-6 win in Monk- ton Friday. In the other half of the league playdowns, St. Clem- ents Saints downed the Zurich Flyers 6-3 in Monday's first game with the second contest at the Zurich arena Saturday at 8 o'clock. GET RESERVES The appearance of two former top intermediate stars in the Monkton lineup Sunday helped the Wildcats get back into con- tention with the 7-5 win over Crediton. Murray Butcher, who played one season back in the 50's with the Exeter Mohawks, scored twice and was instrumental in the Monkton win. Turning in a solid game on the defence was Lou Heinbuch of Mitchell who is better known in the area for his appearances as a referee in the Bluewater junior league. The Crediton club were first to show on the scoreboard as the result of Fred Lamb's goal on passes from Paul Cronyn and Gerald McBride at 8:33 of the first period. Before the opening session ended Gary Smith and Jim Har- row beat Tom Glavin in the Crediton nets to give the visitors a one goal lead that lasted less than two minutes as Roy Smith foUnd the .range on a play in- itiated by Bob Galloway and Pat McKeever. Monkton scored three unan- swered goals in the second per- iod to move into a three goal lead that the Tigers were un- able to overcome.BUtcher,Smith and Harrow each scored for the eventual winners. Crediton came out battling in the final period and Glenn Over- holt scored a pair of markers in the first minute of play to put his club close only to have Butcher come back with an Un- assisted counter near the three minute mark to again give the Monkton club a two goal bulge. Overholt found the target near ;the halfway mark to round out Change at top in male curling A very productive week has moved George BuSChe's rink into first place in the second draw of the Exeter men's 'curling club. The Busche entry, on the strength of a 12 point week, jumped from third place to the top and now has a 50 point draw' total. Last week's leaders skip- ped by Ray Wuerth hold down second spot with 47 points while rinks headed by Gerald Prellt, Jirrt Pinder and Russ Snell are all even at 46 points. Last Week's scores were: Gaiser 8 - Cersori 6 ItOhde 7 - Weber 3 Marshall 7 - Ross Hodgert 4 Busche 15 Gerson Ittactonald S - McCarter Clarke 8 - Sherwood '6 'his hat trick performance for the final Crediton score. The Tigers put on the pressure in the dy- ing moments but were unable to get the equalizer. With the Cred- iton net empty Jim Harrow scored his goal of the night with only twelve seconds to play. DOUBLE SCORERS Two goal performances by Jamie Robb and Roy Smith paced the Crediton Tigers to their 7-6 win in Monkton, Friday. Adding to the winning scoring total with single goals were Den- nis and Jim Morrissey and Bob Galloway. Exeter Legion bantams, with a pair of wins over the past week, have clinched first place in the Shamrock Minor Hockey league. The local youngsters blanked their oppostion on both occa- sions, taking Lucan 5-0 on Exeter ice Wednesday and shutting out Strathroy 7-0 in the Middlesex County town, Monday. In OMHA playoff action the local bantams, with a one game lead in a best-of-three series with St. Marys, played the sec- ond game at the Exeter arena last night, Wednesday. If they are successful in getting by St. Marys, they will meet either' Byron or Stoneybrook in the next round. The Exeter pee wees and mid- gets kept pace with the bantams i n Wednesday's tripleheader notching respective 3-1 and '7-5 wins over Lucan. In Strathroy Monday, the pee wees were on the wrong end of a 7-2 count and the midgets, after making the trip, found their game had been cancelled, The Exeter novice club Will Hewitt 7 - Wuerth 4 Roelofson 8 Seldon 6 Snell 11 - M.

LP GAS it Although definite ,arrange- ments have not Peen ,made for Bluewater lOntor hockey play- offs it is hoped the Exeter Hawks will be in action on their home ice Friday in the ,first of a semi- final series for the f,,p't group title, The. Hawks were in Blenheim for a 144r7POint game last night (Wednesday) and with a win would finish the season in second place, three points behind the pen44at winning Dresden Kings who ae, cumulated a total of 31 points. A loss would leave them with 24 points. The other clubs have com- pleted their season. Petrolia Jets finished with 27 Points, Alvin- ston ended with 24, Blenheim had 22 before their bout with the Hawks and Belmont were close behind with 20. Wallaceburg fin- ished in the basement with an even dozen points to their credit. The Hawks split even in a pair of Bluewater games last week, losing in Belmont by a 4-1 count, Wednesday and bouncing back Dart loop lead is narrowing The battle for supremacy in the Exeter Legion mixed dart league continues with four clubs still in contention. The Dart Sharks, well out in front a couple of weeks ago with a six point lead, have had their edge cut to four points. The league leaders now boast a point total of 63 points while the Tur- tles hold down second spot with 59 points to their credit. Right behind in third and fourth places with respective point totals of 58 and 57 are the Hairpins and Cleaners. The individual league statistics show a continuation of the close competition. Bill Smith and John Link each have 27 wins to lead the men's most games won de- partment while Edna Dietz and Maddy Wells are deadlocked in the ladies section with 16 vic- tories each. No change has taken place in the high single chase in a couple of weeks with Ma.rg Wragg head- ing the ladies with a 140 score and Larry Estey, Gerald Lawson, Bill Smith and Bob Wragg tied for men's high with an identical score. Last week's scores were: Generals 4 - Shiphunters 1 Itchy Four 3 - Dart Sharks 2 Featherflights 3 - Hairpins 2 Spares 3 - Legionnaires 2 Turtles 3 - Four B's 2 Canners 3 - Cleaners 2 see their first action in Sham- rock playoffs Friday at the local arena at 7 o'clock when they meet Huron Heights in the first of a two-game total goals series. STOVER STILL TOPS Perry Stover continued as the top Exeter pee wee scorer of the year as he scored all of his team's counters in their 3-0 home win over Lucan and scored a single goal along with Doug Fairbairn in the 7-2 loss to Strathroy. Lucan's lone goal was fired by Randy English. GLOVER GETS MOST During the season anyone of the EXeter bantams has shown the ability to break out in a big scoring way. This past week, Pete Glover took over as the dominant scorer, scoring a single tally in the 5-0 win over Lucan and break- ing out with a three goal perfor- mance against Strathroy. Adding to the goal total in the Lucan contest were Peter Klein- stiver, Larry Bourne, Allan Par- sons and Brad Klumpp. In the win over Strathroy in addition to Glover's goal output, Randy Preszcator checked in with a pair and Randy Gilfillan and Pete Mason added singles. DOUBLE SCORERS Three youngsters shared the spotlight as the Exeter midgets outdistanced Lucan '7-5. Tom Prout, Ron Lindenfield and Larry Haugh each triggered a pair of goals while John Braid added the odd counter. Dennis Cartz led the Lucan sharpshooters with two goals while Bert Veils, Jim Hearn and Gord Hardy added singletons.

FLYING HIGH After a couple of lacklustre performances, the Hawks came out flying against Dresden to take a two goal lead after the first period of play and increased their margin to five goals in the second session before the visitors were able to hit the scoresheet. Grant Walker, who scored, twice during the night, opened the scoring after only five min- ntes of play on an unassisted effort and Bill Bourne, another double scorer, upped the score to g-0,, It only took five minutes of the middle session for Walker and Bourne to find the target again and complete their scoring for the game and Scott Burton com- bined with Bill Fairbairn and Craig Davidson to put the Hawks in front 5-0. Fairbairn, on a play with Bur- ton and Bill Chipchase, closed out the Hawks scoring in the second while Gary Webster trig- gered the first shot to beat Glenn Stire in the Exeter cage. High flying Hensall product Mike Hoy took over the scoring reigns in the third period as he scored three times and Burton added his second of the night to complete the Hawk tallying.
