As a result of the first few pre-season tilts, the Clinton juniors appear to be fairly strong. They dumped the Mitchell Hawks by a score of 16-3 while the Lucan Irish were edging the same Mitchell club by a close 7-5 score. The Exeter Hawks broke even in their first two outings, downing Lambeth 5-3 and losing to Milverton, a "C" club by a 7-4 score. Hockey fans in this area are in for an early season treat Friday night when the Norwich Merchants will be in town to take on the Hawks in exhibition play. This will be a replay of last spring's exciting playoff series between the two good junior clubs. We understand that Norwich has lost quite a few of last year's regulars due to overage. Also, captain Wayne Chalkley is now with the Brantford Majors, the same club that former Hawk captain Barry Baynham is performing for. Baseball for the year 1970 has come to a close with the completion of the World Series. The annual fall classic was a very short one with the Baltimore Orioles wasting little time in disposing of Cincinatti in five games. After our prediction of two weeks ago that the Orioles would win in five we are sure our good editor was flabbergasted when the outcome was decided so quickly and so accurately. A wise move In a recent communique from the Ontario Hockey Association officials of all hockey teams have been told of a change in regulations. Starting this year, the referee and linesman fees are to be paid at the end of the second period in the referees' room. As far as we are concerned this is a good move. We have been in the office at the Exeter arena on many occasions when the referees would come in after the game to pick up their money and would be subjected to criticism from many sources. To attend clinic A hockey coaches' clinic to be held in Kitchener Saturday will be attended by five coaches of minor clubs in the Exeter Minor Hockey Association. Attending from Exeter will be Tony Mattucci, Ron Horn, Lloyd Moore, Larry Willert and Mike Cushman. Among the instructors at the all-day event will be Bill Maloney, hockey coach at McMaster University in Hamilton, Roger Neilsen of the Peterboro Petes, Gerry Forler, head coach of the Kitchener Rangers and Ian Young former Oshawa junior goal tender. Terrific support ' We would like to pass on our congratulations to the Grand Bend Recreation Association and everyone that participated in Saturday's walkathon from Grand Bend to Greenway and return. More than $4,500 was realized from the walk. All of this money will be used to sponsor minor sporting activities in Grand Bend. This not only includes a very active minor hockey program, but a figure skating club giving girls a chance to participate and all sports throughout the year. Special mention should go to Paul Couse and Bob Jennison who were responsible for a good portion of the monies raised. These two men needed a lot of energy and intestinal fortitude to survive the 16-mile trip on a wheelbarrow. Couse did the pushing while Jennison curled up in the barrow. Ivan Luther made part of the trip wearing a large pair of Gulf shoes that measured more than 21 inches in length. All told, some 50 Grand Bend residents, mostly youngsters took part in the walkathon or barrowthon.

Is there any place you'd rather be? Ontarians are the kind of people who wouldn't be here if there was any place better. We are people who came from a hundred lands and stayed to build. People with backbone and brawn and a hunger to succeed. Men and women who've created a standard of living in decades that other lands worked cen- turies to build. If we have a flaw it's our chronic modesty. Ontarians may be proud to be Ontarians and Canadians . . . they just seldom tell anyone. From an economic point of view that's wrong. The more people we have boosting Ontario and Canada the better it is. And we've got a lot to boost with. In the fight against pollution for exam- ple, Ontario has become a world leader. Everyone talks about pollution, we do something. More than a billion dollars has been invested to date to build water supply and sewage systems in dozens of com- munities throughout the province. We've got laws to prosecute industries that pollute the air and water; loans and grants to help industries that want to do something to stop it. We need a vigor- ous economy of course, to support these important programs. And, that's where you come in. Though our productivity has doubled in ten years and our incomes in twelve, Ontarians don't it on their successes. There's a demanding decade ahead full of challenges and opportunities to make the quality of our lives better yet. To meet these challenges we've got to believe in ourselves.
