The popular event will get underway Friday night With a western horse show at 7:30. A dance will follow at 10 o'clock and will continue until two o'clock Saturday morning. Anyone purchasing a tidket to the dance will be entitled to a free helping of the beef barbecue that will be a feature of the Friday evening festivities. If appetites are still rampant Saturday morning after partaking of the generous helpings of beef, a pancake and sausage breakfast will he served for a three hour period from 7 to 10 a.m. All the pancakes and maple syrup you can eat will be served for one dollar. Saturday afternoon at one o'clock it's western horse show time again including a special event of little britches calf riding. For the first time in the three year history of Frontier Days a midway will be on the grounds both Friday and Saturday to please the children. Brand new trophies for all events have been donated by Hensall and district business people. We had a look at these awards Monday night and they are certainly worth competing for. We hope the weatherman co-operates on Friday and Saturday to make Frontier Days a huge success. The executive is putting in a lot of time and effort in getting ready for the big event. Lloyd Mousseau is president of the Western Horsemen with Bob Baker handling the secretarial duties. Other members of the executive are George Beer, Ron Swartz and Alvin Taylor. Rodeo Plans Progressing While it seems that summer has barely started only seven weeks remains until the sixth annual Midwestern Rodeo is slated for Exeter Community Park. The big event has been set for the Labour Day week-end with an afternoon and evening show on Saturday and an afternoon performance on Sunday. This means three performances instead of the previous two shows. Secretary Dalton Finkbeiner reports that several new features have been added to this year's program in an effort to increase interest and attendance. For the first time a parade will be held on Friday evening with enthusiastic local horseman Fred Darling in charge of arrangements. Last year's chairman Dick Roelofson has been handed a new responsibility this year, that of organizing a Rodeo Queen contest. It is expected girls will be chosen from area communities to compete for the Rodeo title. Bill Smith is the chairman of a busy board of directors that includes representatives from every service organization in town in addition to the Saddle Club, Exeter Fair Board and RAP. Carf Cann will handle the publicity and Dr. Don Ecker will be in charge of the grounds. Additional portable 'seats are being procured to take care of the anticipated large crowds. We see reminders of the rodeo daily as many of the local business people are already wearing hats advertising the rodeo. They are now on sale at various outlets for $1.50. Secretary Finkbeiner told us there is a possibility chariot races may be added to this year's program. Brahma bull riding will be presented for the second time in addition to the regular events such as bull dogging, calf roping, bronc riding and barrel and flag racing. The committee in charge is making full plans to take care of the appetities of the many visitors expected to attend the show. In addition to the concession booths that will be operated by the various local service clubs, other groups may join in on providing top notch food. Officials of the Zurich Bean festival are interested in serving baked beans, the Hensall Western Horsemen are considering setting up a beef barbecue stand and officials of the Exeter Curling club may be dishing up delicious barbecued chicken. The Exeter rodeo is only one of five held annually in the province and is sanctioned by the Ontario Rodeo Association. Other approved rodeos in Ontario will be held at Leamington, Oxbow, Preston and Hespeler. The Hespeler show will be held on Labour Day and will include many entries that will be here in Exeter the two days previous.

Robbie "Eppie'r Wein, a star hurler with the Dashwood OBA champs of 1953 made his first pitching start of the season a winning one as his teammates came up with a lot of hits in downing the Zurich Lumber Kings 16-3. Wein, who made two brief appearances in relief earlier in the season struck out 19 Lumber King batters on the way to his triumph. While the veteran right hander was keeping the Zurich bats in check, the youngsters in the Dashwood lineup were providing the batting power. Bud Desjardine and John Hayter each picked up three hits while Jim Hoffman and Jim Hayter each rattled off two safe blows. Desjardine's third inning home run over the left field fence at the Dashwood diamond with two mates aboard to tie the score at 3-3 was the biggest blow of the game. Bill Schade had walked and Pete Ravelle was safe on an error before Desjardine stroked the ball out of the park. Zurich moved in front in the second inning when pitcher Dick Bedard drew a walk and came home on Gerald Schantz's single.
