This year's presentation is entitled, "This Land is Your Land" and will be depicting all Canadian scenes. The first half of the show will present numbers from across Canada with the last half featuring the far North. The numbers on the north will include a scene at the North Pole complete with Santa Claus, a snowman, a snow queen and sleigh bells. Also on the agenda will be a bear hunt and a look at the Gold Rush Days, Of particular interest this year is the inclusion of 18 boys in the skating club and they will have a full part in the carnival. One of the main activities of the boys in the club is instruction on power skating. The guest skater for the carnival will be Judy Bowerman of Woodstock, now skating out of the Toronto Cricket club. Club pro Brad Loosely and Gerry Witherspoon of Woodstock will again combine to provide a comedy routine. The same two fellows teamed up last year to give the carnival spectators plenty of laughs. To make Saturday's carnival a reality and a success a lot of hard work behind the scenes is necessary. Preparation of the program began a couple of months ago and has involved all members of a very energetic figure skating executive headed by president Jack Underwood. Monday afternoon was a busy time at the local arena when costumes were handed out and fitted and some juggling was needed to get a good fit all around. Most of the costumes that will be worn Saturday night are rented from other figure skating clubs in Western Ontario. The local club pays anywhere from a dollar and a half to four dollars for the outfits. In turn each skater pays a rental fee of two dollars for his or her costume. In addition to boys and girls from town, youngsters from Crediton, Hensall and Dashwood along with the surrounding townships are regular members of the club and will be taking part in Saturday's carnival. While the boys and girls pay a goodly sum of money through registrations, success of the club's year depends a great deal on the support received from the general public at the annual carnival. The club has been growing each year and needs a lot of ice time to give all members the proper instruction. In order to get a little more time, a few of the skaters work out every Thursday morning at 7:30 with president Jack Underwood taking care of opening the arena.

Jenny Rowe and her cafeteria staff fed the more than 500 per- sons, Mike Skinner and his crew were instrumental in preparing the gyms and in cleanup while many students helped with timing, score keeping and run- ning between gyms with messages. Back in tie for top spot Only one Exeter team has seen action so far in the Shamrock minor hockey league playoffs. The pee weer edged Lambeth 4 - 3 Friday -night in the first game of a round-robin series, The other club in the round is Lucan. Exeter, Dorchester and Huron Park are competing in similar round robin sets in bantam and midget categories. A goal from the stick of Paul Pooley at 13.50 of the third period enabled the Exeter pee w-ees to pick up their first playoff win. Getting assists were Brian Morrell and Darrell Preszcator. Other Exeter goals were fired by Steven Baynham, Bill Datars and Randy Parsons. In a Tri-County exhibition series last week, Exeter and Strathroy clubs broke even. Exeter won the bantam contest 2 - 1 while Strathroy scored the only goal in the midget game. Larry Clarke and Brian Taylor were the Exeter goal getters in the bantam game while John Bedard replied for Strathrciy. The Strathroy midget goal was shot by Nick Lalich, The local school was ahead temporarily due to Art Westelaken's win in the 123 consolation, Arnold Westelaken's cham- pionship win put South Huron ahead by three points and they never lost the lead. The new WOSSA champs are coached by Doug Ellison and Ted Girard, More than 300 fans were in attendance for the finals while a snowstorm was raging outside. Most of the visiting spectators and wrestlers were able to reach their homes, although some didn't make it until the early hours of Sunday morning. About 25 or 30 stayed in Exeter for the night. More than 50 personnel from South Huron District High School were involved in the work of organizing and carrying out the tournament. Local wrestling coach Doug Ellison was convener of the championship meet. Those helping Ellison in organization were Ron I.3ogart and Ted Girard. Ken Bridges handled the audio-visual clean- Clarke Road in the 194 pound final. Team captain Gerard Charrette grabbed the 106 pound consolation championship after losing only one match throughout the full day of wrestling. Continuing the consolation winning streak were Art Westelaken with a 4 - 0 win over Laurie Bako of Wheable at 123 pounds, Doug Geoffrey at 130 pounds beating Basil Davis of Sarnia Northern 5 - 1 and Don Truemner downing Jim Raven of Strathroy 5 - 0 in the 168 pound class. South Huron had a terrific first round record with 11 of the 14 competitors winning their first matches. The battle for the team championship was between South Huron and Regina Mundi right from the opening match. The London school was out in front by one point as the finals got un- derway, In the 130 pound division, Jim VanHie of Regina Mundi won the title while Doug Geoffrey of South Huron was third to create a tie. The most successful wrestling season since the sport came into being at South Huron District High School four years ago came to a triumphant close Saturday evening. With every one of the 14 wrestlers playing a key part, the South Huron Panthers won the Western Ontario Secondary Schools Athletic Association team championship edging a strong Regina Mundi team from London by a score of 801/2 to 751/2, Arnold Westelaken gained the distinction of winning the in- dividual championship in the 136 pound division with a decisive 8 - I decision in the final over Bob Borowski of the runner-up London school. Two other South Huron wrestlers reached the meet finals and finished in second spot while four additional Panthers won consolation championships in their respective weight divisions. Pete Sereda, competing in the 98 pound class lost on a decision 7 - 1 to Ralph Daye of Sarnia Northern and Dave Cyr was pinned at 4.30 by Joe Adams of Hawks reach group final, waiting for next opponent with a solid check and Clinton manager Ben Riley was the victim of a errant high stick and needed medical attention. Pete Kleinstiver continues on the sidelines after suffering a face injury in the second game of the series, but should be ready for the first game of the finals. Defenceman Shane McKinnon who suffered a broken ankle early in January had the cast removed last week and expects to see some later playoff action. into the corner of the net behind Clinton goalie Fred German. While the Hawks were assessed 12 of the 19 penalties, they were able to come up with good penalty killing and no goals resulted. On the other side of the ledger, the final goal of the game by Lin- denfield came with the Hawks having a one man advantage. Several injuries were sustained during the game, but strangely enough neither involved a player. Referee Bill Walsh of Stratford was cut over one eye when ac- cidentaly hit by Ron Lindenfield Leaders lose in Ausable The two top teams in the Exeter and district Rec hockey league are back in a tie for first place. In one of Thursday night's regular games, Newby Tire edged the Bank Boys 4 - 3 to put the two teams all even at the head of the league with 21 points apiece. The other contest saw the Vikings down the Juveniles by a score of 6 - 1. Goals for Newby Tire were scored by Mike Cushman, Tim Ewert, Tom Watt and Lou Wendio. Scoring in single fashion for the Bank Boys were Scott Burton, Pete Lawson and Bill Farquhar, Bill Van Bergen and Jack Baker each scored two goals to pace the Vikings scoring attack while Jim O'Toole and Randy Tiernan added singles. The lone goal for the Juveniles came from the stick of John Bierling. The Exeter Rec league all- stars will be meeting the Cen- tralia College Saints in an exhibition game at the Huron Park arena, Monday night at seven o'clock with all proceeds going to Bunny Bundle in aid of Crippled Children. Four players from each of the four clubs will make up the Exeter line-up as follows: Newby Tire — Jim Newby, Craig Davidson, Mike Cushman, Bob McDonald.

First period decides Five Exeter goals in the first period in Clinton Friday night left little doubt as to the eventual outcome of the game. The opening Hawks scoring spurt was well spread around with five players sharing. Ron Lindenfield opened the scoring at 2.46 and in quick succession, MurrayParsons,up from midgets, Steve Murley, Bob Parsons and Perry Stover were blinking the light behind the Clinton net. In the second period, Bob Parsons fired his second marker of the night while Pete Glover and Bob Rowe checked in with single scores. Steve Murley completed the Hawk scoring for the night at 7.42 of the final session, also his second goal before Mark Jenkins replied for the Mustangs to spoil John Hayter's bid for his fifth shoutout of the season, Upsets were the order of the night at the Exeter arena Sunday night as the two lower clubs in the Ausable Valley Rec hockey league rose to down the top teams, The third place Lieury club downed the league leading Shipka Bulldogs 3 - 1 while the cellar dwelling Lieury club defeated second place Ailsa Craig by a 4 - 1 count. Sonny Slater, John Butterfield and Louis Slater each scored one goal to account for the Lieury goals while the lone Ailsa Craig marker was notched by Jim Shipway. The Brinsley scoring was taken care of by George Tryon, Bob Hodgins, Greg Revington and Bob McIntosh in single goal fashion, Barry Clarke was the Shipka goal getter, A PARTNER IN UNITED & FEDERATED APPEALS Two straight wins this week allowed the Exeter Hawks to move into the final playoff round in the Western grouping of the Ontario Hockey Association Junior "D" series. The Hawks trounced the Clinton Mustangs 9-1 in Clinton, Friday night and came back to home ice Sunday afternoon to register a 4-2 decision to win the best-of-seven semi-final series in five games, In the other semi-final round, the Belmont Sunsets and Mitchell Hawks are tied at a game apiece. The third game is in Belmont tonight, Thursday with the fourth in Mitchell Sunday and if a fifth game is necessary it goes in Belmont, Tuesday night. Hayter stars Goalie John Hayter turned in excellent performances to allow the Hawks to win the last two games to win the series quite handily. In Clinton Friday and back in Exeter Sunday, Hayter came up with great stops in key situations to repel the opposition, With the Hawks leading 4-2 late in the third period Sunday af- ternoon, they ran into a couple of double penalties and Hayter was forced to be at his best to keep his club out in front. After a scoreless first period, each team scored twice in the second session with quick goals. Captain Larry Haugh was first on the scoreboard as he finished off a three-way passing effort with Steve Murley and Pete Glover at 10.37. Only two minutes later the Hawks were two goals up as the result of a successful shot by Bob Rowe on a pass from Pete Glover. The Mustangs retaliated quickly with two goals in a matter of 15 Seconds shortly after the 16 Minute mark. The Clinton goals were notched by Paul Johnson and Bob Cook. Ron Lindenfield was respon- sible for the winning and in- surance goals for the Hawks. The actual winner came early in the period on a pass from Haugh and the final score was a result of the best passing play of the af- ternoon. Murley started the play at his own blue line with a pm to Haugh near centre who skated close to the Clinton blueline and hit Lindenfield with a pass which sent him in the clear and the big right winger moved in to make no mistakes by slipping the puck Helping Bunny Bundle An exhibition hockey game will be played Monday night, February 28 at the Huron Park arena with all proceeds going to Bunny Bundle. The Centralia College Saints will be meeting the Exeter Rec league all-stars. A list of the Exeter players will be found elsewhere in these pages in the account of the Rec league activities. Colorful titles Most of the teams in the new World Hockey Association have chosen colorful names to identify themselves, So far we've heard about the Miami Screaming Eagles, Minnesota Fighting Saints, Los Angeles Sharks, New England Whalers, Chicago Cougars and Calgary Bronks. If the Ontario entry ends up in Ottawa and is called either the Federals or Nationals the name would be sort of out of place. Popular skater A large amount of exposure on television and radio can certainly help in putting a name in the minds of a lot of people. Televising of the Canadian figure skating championships recently from the London Gardens made everyone aware of who Carol Magnusson was. A perfect example of this came about at last week's Winter Carnival at Kirkton-Woodham. We had the pleasure of being one of the judges at the Queen contest. During the evening, each contestant was asked to make a short speech on her favorite sports star. Would you believe seven of the ten girls chose Carol Magnusson as their subject. A silver medal winner The name of Revington continues to hit the sports pages quite frequently in this district. A few years ago it was Fred, Leroy and Glenn Revington as members of the Lucan intermediate hockey clubs. In recent years, Leroy has been quite successful as a trainer and driver of top notch harness horses. This week we are happy to report on another Revington. This time it's Anne Revington a daughter of Mr, and Mrs, Leroy Revington who gained honors at a recent track and field meet. Anne, 14 years of age, received a silver medal in the midget girls high jump at Saturday's Royal Canadian Legion track and field meet held in Toronto. Congratulations! Congratulations Out sincerest congratulations go out to the South Huron wrestling team for a tremendous team effort in winning. Saturday's WOSSA wrestling tournament at the local school. This is the first WOSSA win for a South Huron team in more than 15 years, Back in the 1950's several boys and girls volleyball and basketball teams brought Western Ontario honors to the local school. It took a concerted and dedicated team effort to cop the laurels, Saturday. Every one of the 14 boys on the team had a part in winning. Fan support and school spirit also added a lot to the cause. Students, parents and cheerleaders were busy all day moving from one gym to the other to follow the local wrestlers and add their vocal support Congfatulations go to coaches Doug Ellison and Cy Girrard and every member of the team, RACEWAY CYCLE & SPORTS RR S PARKHILL PHONE 294-6702 Located at Corbett on Highway 81 Five Miles North of Parkhill Motorcycles • Snowmobiles Polaris — Kawasaki •—•-• Norton Maico BultacO NOW OPEN DAILY A.M.. 9 P.M.
