While proper supervision is provided at all swimming pools, parents have a responsibility to teach early respect for the water and by their own example practice safety on and around lakes and rivers this summer. While the three R's are left at the schools for the summer, we should replace them with the three C's, which are care, courtesy and common sense. This warning cannot be overstressed, especially the common sense for children going swimming alone at the lake. The use of the canoe is becoming more popular each year. It is an ideal craft that can be used extensively but proper instruction from an expert is necessary. We wouldn't recommend to local youngsters to follow some of the techniques used by contestants in Tuesday's canoe jousting contest during Exeter's Dominion Day celebrations at Riverview Park. We sometimes in the past have erroneously called this event jostling and after some of the canoe escapades we have seen the last couple of years we may not be too far wrong. Seriously, for the novice canoeist, it is wise to have an experienced paddler with you until you become proficient. No one should be allowed in a canoe if they are unable to swim. Hundreds of summer camps throughout the province have enviable safety records by using proper teaching methods in swimming and boating. The spotlight is on boating safety especially this week as National Boating week started Sunday and continues until July 5. This campaign is sponsored by the Canada Safety Council with approval of the federal Department of Transport. A good way to observe the week is for every pleasure boater to make sure he knows the regulations and laws covering all phases of boating. What A Difference A Year Makes We have been careful so far this year to make very little mention of the big league pennant races. Our favorites, the Detroit Tigers have failed to show much of the same class that carried them to the American League pennant and the World Series title last year. Two of the main reasons the Tigers are floundering around in third place in the Eastern Division is their inability to win the close games they were able to pull out of the fire last year and the fact the front-running Baltimore Orioles refuse to lose very many games. Pleasant Surprises Play in the National League has produced some pleasant surprises this year. Most Canadians are happy with the performance of the Chicago Cubs and Chatham's Fergie Jenkins in particular. Fergie and the Cubs are off to a flying start and appear to be headed for the Eastern Division title. Probably the biggest surprise is the showing to date of the New York Mets who are in second spot behind the Cubs. While the record of the Montreal Expos is nothing to brag about their fan support has been terrific. The Montreal supporters are continuing to come out in throngs to watch their favorites, mostly in a losing cause.

The losing streak started Wednesday as the Mitchell BP's blanked the Tigers 2-0 on the Dashwood diamond. Thursday night Walkerton edged the Dashwood club 15-14 and the next night back in Mitchell the BP's were again victorious this time by a score of 8-5. The fourth Dashwood loss came Tuesday evening when the Zurich Lumber Kings triumphed 4-2. In the four latest games for the Tigers it was a case of when the pitchers were pitching the Kin edges Bend nine In a real pitchers' battle Thursday night, the Exeter Kinsmen blanked Grand Bend 2-0 in Exeter and district Rec league softball play. Don Bell, the winning pitcher for the Kin allowed the Bend club only two hits in racking up his shut-out while Don Courtney hurling for Grand Bend gave up three scattered singles. The first Kinsmen run came in the third when Brian Hogg reached first on an error and scored on George Pratt's single. In the fourth Lyle Little singled and came around on a sacrifice and an error. The other Kin hit was delivered in the second by Jim Dingwell. Grand Bend's hits were a double by Paul Greenwood and a single from the bat of Larry Lovie. hitters weren't hitting and vice versa. BEDARD SHARP Zurich's veteran hurler Dick Bedard was sharp Tuesday as he limited the Tigers to five hits and two runs in a full nine inning contest. The first Dashwood run came in the opening inning when Jim Hayter reached first on an error and came around to score on singles by Bob Hoffman and Pete Ravelle. Dashwood's final marker came in the sixth when Bud Desjardine singled and came home on John Hayter's one base knock. Earl Wagner homered in the second for the first Zurich marker while singles by Red McIntosh, Gerald Schantz and Dick Bedard produced another in the fourth; Dashwood's star hurler of a few years ago, Robert "Eppie" Wein tossed the last three innings and retired the side in order. LOSE IN MITCHELL The first game under the new floodlighting system at the Mitchell Park resulted in an 8-5 win for the home club. Bob Hoffman's double and a single from the bat of Bill Schade produced the first Dashwood run in the first. Back-to-back singles by Schade, Richard Rader and John Hayter scored another run in the third and hits by John Hayter and Bob Webb sent the third run across in the sixth. Jim Hoffman's homer and hits by Charlie Tiernan and Jim Hayter finalized the Dashwood scoring in the ninth. LOTS OF RUNS A lot of base hits and numerous bases on balls featured the 15-14 Walkerton win over the Tigers, Thursday. Whitey Denomme was the top Tiger hitter with three singles in four official trips to the plate. Jim Hayter, Bob Hoffman, Bill Schade and Pete Ravelle were close behind in the hitting parade with two hits apiece. In addition, Hayter and Hoffman each drew three bases on balls. ONLY THREE HITS Mitchell right hander George Coveney was in rare form Wednesday, limiting the The Exeter All Stars provided a fitting ending to a very successful Dominion Day celebration here Tuesday by downing London Life 5-3 in an exciting fastball game. The locals down 2-1 going into the bottom of the sixth inning scored four times to record a 5-2 win over the London club. The All Stars threatened in the second inning by getting three runners aboard but were unable to hit paydirt. Bill Farquhar and Cy Blommaert singled a,fter one was out in the second and Jim Hewitt followed with a similar safety but Farquhar was thrown out at the plate. Blommaert and Hewitt again delivered back-to-back singles in the fourth but were unable to find their way plateward. The big blow that ensured the Exeter victory was a three run home run from the bat of The third pony races of the season were held in Exeter on June 29, 1969 with a large crowd on hand.

In third place on the strength of the same number of wins, a plus of 3 and aggregate of 19 came Howard Truemner. Greys lose another tilt In their only action of the week, the Exeter Greys suffered a crushing 20-4 defeat at the hands of the Goderich Dodgers in Huron Ladies softball play in Goderich, Friday night. The short-handed Greys scored all their runs in the second inning and were unable to keep the hard hitting Dodgers at bay. Joan Campbell, Ann Jorgensen, Tess Romanuik and Penny MacDonald scored the Exeter runs in the second inning. The Dodgers scored twice in the second inning, repeated with a pair in the third and broke the game wide open with four runs in the fourth and ten more in the fifth. The Greys threatened in the seventh when Lynn Farquhar, Joan Campbell and Pat Down reached the base paths but they were unable to cross the plate.
