all set to go
One of the oldest
intermediate baseball leagues in
the province of Ontario, the
Huron-Perth should enjoy one of
it's better years.
At a meeting in Hensall,
Tuesday night, a total of eight
teams signified their intentions
of fielding clubs.
New entries from Clinton and
Walkerton will join with
returning clubs from Dashwood,
Hensall, Zurich, St. Marys,
Thorndale and Mitchell to form
a strong grouping.
Another meeting will be held
at Hotel Hensall, Tuesday night
May 13 at nine o'clock to draw
up the schedule. It is expected a
single home and home schedule
will be played giving each club
seven home games.
Bob Sadler of Staffa was
returned as league president with
Bob Frier of Mitchell acting as
vice-president. The
secretary-treasurer of the group
is John Livermore of Clinton.
Two teams in the popular
intermediate ball loop are
expected to have floodlights
installed in their parks before
the season is completed.
The Mitchell park should
have a lighting system within a
month and officials of the
Dashwood Tigers, last year's
OBA Intermediate "D" champs
are working toward light
installation before summer's
end.
Representatives of the teams
at Tuesday's initial meeting were
as follows: Dashwood, Glenn
Webb and Charlie Tieman;
Hensall, Bruce Horton and Jim
Hyde; Zurich, Gerald Shantz;
Mitchell, Bob Frier; Thorndale,
Doug Byers; Clinton, Len
Fawcett; Walkerton, D. Albright
and St. Marys, Jack Leslie.
One million bushels of
Ontario grain corn was moved to
the Maritimes under the
Canadian Livestock Feed Board
assistance program in 1967-68.

Quarter show plans
are being completed
Arrangements are being
completed for the fourth annual
Mid Western Quarter Horse
Show to be held at Exeter
Community Park on Saturday,
June 14.
Secretary Noel Veri reports
that two new classes are being
added to the full-day show to
increase interest and excitement.
A trail class and English Pleasure
are replacing hurdle jumping and
the working cow horse event.
The Exeter show, a class A
event is rated as the best and
largest quarter horse show in the
province of Ontario. In order to
stay in the A category, the local
show must draw a minimum of
225 entries.
Each year a different judge is
obtained and this time it is R. E.
Daley of Palatka, Florida. We
would hope the Air Canada
strike is over before June 14 or
local officials may be looking for
an alternate judge.
Don Nye of Hamilton will be
the show manager and arena
director while local horse
enthusiast Fred Darling will
handle the announcing chores.
Over the weekend an interesting booklet showing
statistics over the past few years of the Ontario
Department of Lands and. Forests appeared on our desk
and we feel some of the information contained is of
sufficient interest to pass on to our readers,
The section on the fish and wildlife branch traces
the history of game and fish resources from the
beginning of government in Canada.
Game and fish resources were of considerable
concern to the Commissioner of Crown Lands during
the period of the union of Upper Canada with Lower
Canada, but a general realization of their true
importance was not attained until later years under the
Department of Game and Fisheries.
In 1889, the control and management of fisheries
was placed under the Crown Lands Department. The
following year the games laws were amended and in
1897 the fishing service was transferred to the Attorney
General,
The Department of Game and Fisheries developed
until April 15, 1946 when it was established as a
division of the Department of Lands and Forests. The
term branch was added in 1959.
The late Dr. W. J. K. Harkness, chief of the new
division until his death in 1960 introduced many of the
modern principles of fish and wildlife management,
Under Lands and Forests, the number of graduate
biologists increased from two to more than fifty.
Enforcement officers became Conservation Officers and
increased from 136 to more than 240. At peak periods
they are assisted by more than 200 other personnel and
by approximately 1,100 Deputy Conservation Officers.
Dr. C. H. D. Clarke, appointed Chief in April of
1961 has directed an increasingly intensive management
of fish and wildlife resources to provide the maximum
harvest consistent with conservation.
In the statistical department, the number of
hunting and fishing licences sold each year has been
continually on the increase. In 1967 a total of 671,484
hunting licences were sold in the province compared to
only 137,544 in 1944.
A total of 3,404 seizures of hunting and fishing
equipment were made in 1968 with 3,239 convictions
bringing in $81,420 in fines and $30,599 in sales of
confiscated equipment.
Hockey Banquet Soon
he annual banquet of the Exeter Minor Hockey
Association has been slated for Friday night May 16 at
the Legion Hall here in Exeter.
Officials expect to have Paul Henderson of the
Toronto Maple Leafs on hand as the guest speaker. As in
other years, the banquet will be a father and son affair.
Admission will be four dollars for a father and
son or sons. Tickets are available at the arena and from
any minor hockey coach. They may also be picked up at
the door at banquet time but officials would like to
know a couple of days ahead approximately how many
will be attending.
A call to Alvin Willert at the arena at 235-2833
will ensure a ticket will be waiting for you on May 16.
Time For Ball Again
With the surge of warmer weather, plans are well
on the way for the softball and baseball season locally.
Rec Director Alvin Willert has called a meeting
Friday night for all prospective teams in the Exeter and
district recreation softball league.
Most of last year's clubs are expected to be back
for more play-for-fun action and are likely to be joined
by a strong team from Grand Bend.
Making up the five team loop last year were the
Legion, Kinsmen and BA 98's from Exeter along with
representation from Crediton and Huron Park.
The meeting is called for eight o'clock Friday
night at the Exeter Town Hall and any new teams or
players will be more than welcome.
The Exeter Greys are again expected to compete
in the Huron Ladies softball league and some inquiries
have been received about a possible Huron Park girls
entry.,
Summer Program Shaping Up
Rec Director Alvin Willert also reports that
choosing of swimming instructors and playground
supervisors has been almost completed by RAPcommittee
members.
The playground supervisors selected are Peter
Mason, Joanne Burke, Kathy McDonald and Betty
Miller. These young people will attend a leadership
training camp at Goderich in the near future sponsored
jointly by the Lake Huron Zone Recreation and
Conestoga. College.
How long would your family last
on $25,000?
Five years maybe? Then what?
Invested at 6% with a monthly drawing account of 5500, it would
last just under 4 years and 10 months.,
Now ask yourself this question. How long could your wife and
children live on your estate? Would there be enough money to
ensure a mortgage-free home? For your children to grow on?
And how about their education? In other words, enough to ensure
continuing family security as long as it's needed.
These important questions need expert help to answer. That's
why Manufacturers Life has developed a special Financial Planning
Service.
Here's how it works. Through the Manufacturers Life Repre-
sentative, the service focuses on you and your family, your present
situation and your objectives, It cuts out all guesswork and
generalities. For example, it will help you aetermine 1. exactly
what you want your estate to do, 2. whether your present estate
is sufficient and 3. if not, it will sug est the next step towards
achieving your goals.
As part of this service the Manufacturers Life Representative
will plot your individual Security Graph—the clearest way we
know of to show you how you stand. Why not get in touch with
the well informed professional from Manufacturers Life. You will
find him a competent adviser who will respect your confidence and
understand your problems,
