Recreation director Alvin Willert and his staff of four capable supervisors spent last week at the Lake Huron Zone leadership training camp in Goderich and undoubtedly came home with many new ideas of games and crafts to keep area boys and girls happily engaged for the summer. The program starts Monday morning with registration getting underway at 9:30 at Victoria and Community Parks and will continue until Friday, August 14. Each week will have a special theme. The first week will be designated as Get Acquainted week and games will be played to get the youngsters to know each other. The second week will stress safety and will possibly include a bicycle rodeo. For practical demonstrations it is hoped the services of a police officer and a nurse can be obtained for a couple of hours. Also included would be instruction on water, safety. The highlight of week three will be the annual Lake Huron Zone Play Day at the local park when boys and girls from many centres in Western Ontario will be comp eting for district honors in various events. The fourth week the emphasis will be on cowboys and Indians and a favorite of most of the kids, a wiener and beans supper will also be held. The same week a camp-out will be staged for the older boys and girls. The week will close with a parade and judging of the various cowboy and Indian costumes. The popular summer playground program will really get off the ground and into orbit during the fifth week. The supervisors Joanne Burke, Lynne Farquhar, Michelle Harrison and Gwen Mills will be coming up with some far out ideas for space week. The sixth and final week will put the spotlight on gypsies and hobos and will conclude with a Penny Carnival, All youngsters from kindergarten age to at least fourteen are urged to participate, Although the registration fee has risen to two dollars this is a very small charge that amounts to less than seven cents per day. Willert has asked us to point out that boys and girls must be registered in the program to take part in the camp -outs. The program will go from 9:30 to 11:30 each morning and every afternoon from 1:30 to 3:30, Monday to Friday. At the same time, Willert said the wading pool at Victoria Park would be open each afternoon during the week from two until four. Despite earlier reports that the pool may not be allowed to open Huron's Medical Officer of Health, Dr. G. P. A. Evans has given his permission. Numerous daily checks will be taken on the water and chlorine will be added when necessary. Bucking Baseball Action on all fronts is promised next Wednesday night at Exeter's Community Park when the Exeter Legion and Kinsmen softball teams meet. Before anyone says they can watch an ordinary ball game any time, we better hasten to add some additional facts that the two clubs will be playing a slightly different variety of softball. The game will be softball but the players will be using their energy in different ways to get around the bases and chase the ball around the park. You've guessed it. It's donkey baseball and Bud Smith Enterprises of Stouffville will be bringing in eleven donkeys of various temperaments to test not only the strength but patience of the local ball players. The pitcher and catcher are the only two players on the defending team not required to be perched on a four-legged animal. • The batter has his donkey close at hand at the plate ready to go (?) when he hits the ball. Pre-game publicity forwarded by Bud Smith claims that donkey baseball is more difficult than playing the piano with mittens on or eating corn on the cob through a picket fence. It also adds that donkey baseball requires the ball playing ability of Mickey Mantle, the horsemanship of a rodeo performer, the vocabulary of a Missouri mule skinner and Bob Hope's sense of humour, all rolled into one. Don't forget Wednesday night, July 8 at Exeter Community Park at 7:30 for a hilarious night of softball action. Help, Please We would like to ask the co-operation of all the persons in the area that keep score in the various baseball and softball score books that are turned into this office. Most of the scorers do a good job, but we are getting a couple that list only squares for runs and x'es for outs without any explanation as to how the out was made or how the player reached the bases. There are about a dozen teams that are turning in scores to us for reporting and it would make the job a lot easier and a lot quicker if we knew exactly what they meant. In some cases it means a phone call to find out some of the information. Exhibition Game Baseball fans in the Dashwood area are in for a special treat Saturday night when the Stratford juniors come in for an exhibition game. Of special interest will be the appearance of Bob Webb in a Stratford uniform. Webb, was one of the top performers in the Dashwood Tigers line-up the last two seasons when they won the OBA Intermediate "D" championship. It is expected Webb will see some action on the mound for Stratford against his team-mates of the last couple of years. SMILE! Ofeaf etamee a,' efridtite, ea.

The Dashwood Tigers were in action only once, downing the Mitchell BP's 8-4 on the Dashwood diamond, Sunday night.

EARLY START The Dashwood club scored two runs in the bottom half of the first inning and were never headed in posting the 8-4 win over Mitchell, Sunday night.
