Even split during week for Tigers in Huron-Perth Our congratulations go out to Jane Smith of Hensall who was recently named Pinto Queen by the Ontario Maple Leaf Pinto Association. Jane, a member of the Exeter saddle club will be representing Ontario in a national Queen contest at Des Moines, Iowa from July 15-17. Girls from most states in the U.S. and some of the western Canadian provinces will be contesting the North American Pinto queen title. A pinto show will be held this Sunday afternoon at Exeter Community park with all proceeds going to finance Jane's trip to the national contest. While points and ribbons will be handed out in the Sunday show, prize monies will be eliminated in order to obtain more proceeds for the trip. Jane will be accompanied south by Janet McDowell of Centralia. Her horse Kachina is being vanned to Iowa for use in the show. The girls will be judged on riding ability, poise, beauty and personality. Lots of bait One of the most enthusiastic fishermen in this area will have no trouble with having enough bait for fishing for a long time. Early this spring Ted Pooley imported about 1,700 African night crawlers from Florida. We visited the Pooley residence early this week to have a look at his worm family and he has them by the thousands. Pooley estimates his original 1,700 worms have now multiplied to more than five thousand. With an uneducated guess we would suggest his estimate is still low as he has the crawlers of all sizes. The African crawlers are ideal for Canadian fishing trips as they like very hot weather. In fact, the temperature in the Pooley "worm room" is kept constantly at 84 degrees. The worms are kept in a bedding of peat moss and paper. The main food required is oatmeal and Ted has devised a new method of feeding. He spreads the oatmeal on a wire screening and the worms come up to feed. This keeps the oatmeal from mixing with the bedding and can be disposed of easily if it becomes too old. We will be waiting to hear of the excellent fishing results obtained with African night crawlers. Incidentally Ted has plenty of his fishing delicacies in the 10-12 inch range ready for sale. An interesting visit During the summer months, people are always looking for places to go on the weekends to spend some liesure time. We would recommend a trip to the Grand Bend zoo for persons of all ages. While it doesn't rival the city zoos, the Pineridge zoo, located two-and-a-half miles south of Grand Bend on the east side of Highway 21 has enough animals and birds to occupy one's time for a couple of hours. Starting from a hobby of about eight years ago with a few wild ducks and geese, Ted Relouw now has more than thirty different varieties of animals and birds of all sizes. He is constantly buying and trading with United States and Canadian dealers and zoos and is also importing from South America. The slogan of the Pineridge zoo is 'something different every visit." The zoo grounds located on 24 acres of wooded area are ideal for this type of venture with plenty of shade provided for spectators, which is especially welcome on warm days. Close to home While speaking of places to go for relaxation, there is a spot still closer that is ideal for picnics and just taking it easy. The Exeter Riverview Park area is being improved and extended a bit each year providing more facilities for recreation and picnicking. Alvin Willert and his recreation staff are doing a wonderful job in keeping the park in a beautiful condition. The Exeter Lions club is also putting a lot of work into developing the area to the east of the river towards the curling club. Picnic tables are also being placed in this area. In our opinion this makes an ideal spot for a picnic with a beautiful view of the rest of the park to the west available. Sets north records We received a letter last week from Rainy River, Ontario listing the accomplishments of a young girl athlete with connections in this area. Dale Desjardine, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ches Desjardine of Rainy River won the midget girls championship at the North Western Ontario Secondary School Association track and field meet held recently at Thunder Bay. Dale who is the granddaughter of Mrs. Mabel Desjardine, Dashwood and W. F. Jennison, Grand Bend won the 100, 200 and 400 . metre dashes, breaking existing records in two of the events. She also combined with three other girls to take the 440-yard relay in 55.3 seconds, a record for Northwestern Ontario.
