HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Exeter Times-Advocate, 1969-05-08, Page 6Huron-Perth 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.

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.
