We had the opportunity Sunday to visit an Indian Village that is being restored near Delaware in a joint venture of the Lower Thames Conservation Authority and Ontario's SWEEP program. Members of various Indian bands from the area are assisting in the work to help make the village as authentic as possible. When completed on the two- acre site, the village will include a pallisade, Longhouses, wigwams, medicine hut, flint hut, deer fence and a site where dugout canoes are manufac- tured, Slightly removed from the village will be an Interpretation Centre where Indian arts and crafts will be exhibited as well as information pertaining to modern Indians. The idea of an Indian village to give modern man an appreciation of a different way of life and lead to a better understanding of modern-day Indians was first conceived by Graham MacDonald, area superin- tendent with the Middlesex County Board of Education. Working as an informal committee, Mr. Mac- Donald and several teachers approached the Lower Thames Valley Conservation Authority who suggested an ideal site in the Longwoods Road Conservation area in Caradoc township. Located on a sandy bluff of land overlooking the forks of a stream, the site could well have been one chosen by the native people 400 years ago. After some discussion it was decided to recreate a village such as might have been put up by the Attiwandrians or Neutral Indians. They lived about 400 years ago inCaradoc and possessed a unique skill for working with flint and their trade extended over a wide area of eastern North America. Since they once lived in the area but are little known it was felt such a village would be an excellent choice. The committee named to plan the actual design of the village included numerous educators and Authority members. A native Indian Irvine Chrisjohn and Dr. D. L. Guemple, an associate professor of anthropology at the University of Western Ontario actually came up with a name for the village. The village, now well underway as far as con- struction is concerned and open to the public is named "Ska Nah Doht" which in English means "A village stands again." Sunday afternoon, William Dolson, chief of the Muncey Indian reserve was at the village with his full head dress and was quite willing to talk about Indian history and lore. The village is just off Highway 2, west of Delaware. Picnic facilities are available here and at the Millstream Conservation area, only a mile east. The answers to last week's quiz are as follows : The New York Met nicknamed VRAM was MARV spelled backwards for Marvelous Mary Throneberry and there are 106 stitches on an official baseball. Questions — Who was the last big league ball player to bat .400 and with which team do you associate "The Gashouse Gang?" * * Sport Shorts — Congratulations are in order to local participants in a variety of sports for outstanding achievements recently. Only last week Wayne McCormick of Huron Park recorded the first hole-in-one of the season in this district. Wayne's ace came on the par three fourth hole at the Exeter course, a distance of 145 yards. Over the weekend a rink skipped by Fred Tilley of Seaforth won the Victoria and Grey mixed trebles lawn bowling tournament at Stratford. Fred and his wife Betty, ardent bowlers at the Exeter club before moving to Seaforth a few years ago joined with Walt Westbrooke to win the title, representing the Mitchell lawn bowling club. Finishing second was Art Finlayson and Eric and Brenda Matzold of Seaforth. Finlayson and Matzold are well known for their accomplishments in the Exeter men's five-pin bowling league. A few weeks ago four local karate enthusiasts were successful in winning awards at a London tour- nament. Turning in prize winning performances were Keith and Vince Ayotte, Ron Day, and Judy Larkins.

T-A photo The Dashwood Tigers were busy in Huron-Perth league baseball play over the week as they saw action no less than four times. They came out of the four game series with an even break. Wednesday they scored a 7 -3 win over Arva. Then they started a losing streak dropping games to Thorndale and Walkerton by scores of 5 - 2 and 13 - 12 respectively. Tuesday night in one of the best played games of the season the Tigers edged Thorndale 3 - 2 to even their week's record. Bob Webb was instrumental in halting the Dashwood losing streak at two games, In addition to throwing a four hitter, Webb was effective at the bat driving in the first two Tiger runs. In the Dashwood second, Gary Hartman and Brian Bestard singled and both came in to score on a similar hit from the bat of Webb. Lead-off home runs by Thorn- dale in both the fourth and fifth innings tied the game up at 2 - 2. The game was originally set for seven innings but with the score tied, the teams moved into an extra inning. Thorndale was retired in order in their half of the eighth, Jim Guenther started the Tiger eighth by being hit by a pitched ball. He moved to second on Joe O'Rourke's single and With one out scored the game winning run on captain Dave Ratz's sharp single to right field, Friday night at 8.30 the Tigers will be at home to the Mitchell BP's and Wednesday it's a trip to Exeter to meet the Expos at 6.30. Most of the scoring in Sunday's loss to Walkerton took place in the first and last innings. The Tigers started off roaring with six runs in their first turn at the plate. Walkerton bounced back with three runs in their half of the inning scored three more times in the middle innings and tallied seven times in the sixth. The Tigers scored once in the fourth and made the game real close with five runs in the top of the seventh and final frame. Five hits powered the opening six run Dashwood rally led by home runs from the bats of Jim Guenther and Brian Bestard. Joe O'Rourke and Bill Schade added doubles and Dave Ratz con- tributed a single, In the Dashwood fourth, Jim Neilson walked and scored on Bob HOffman's single and an error. With one out in the Dash- wood seventh, Gary Hartman and Brian Bestard singled and Neilson walked to load the bases. John Hayter sent everybody home with a round-tripper. Against Thorndale Friday the Tigers could garner only two base hits as they fell 5 - 2. In the Dashwood second, Pete Ravelle was hit by a pitch, Jim Guenther walked and both scored without the aid of a base hit. The only Tiger safeties were a double by Bill Schade in the sixth and John Hayter's single in the ninth. Dave Ratz was the losing pitcher. Win With Single Runs The Tigers scored two runs in the first inning and then scored one run in each of five other in- nings as they downed Arva 7 - 3, Wednesday. Pete Ravelle's homer with Bill Schade on the bases ahead of him provided the momentum in the first inning scoring. Ravelle added two singles to his first inning homer to lead the Tigers at the plate. Adding one hit apiece were Jim Guenther, Bob Hoffman, John Hayter, Bill Schade, Dave Ratz and Joe O'Rourke. Brian Bestard was the winning pitcher holding Arva to three well scattered hits. Two came in the ninth inning when the losers scored two of their three runs, Ties for first in lawn bowling Members of the Exeter lawn bowling club were busy this week with three local jitneys and competition was very close with ties for first place on two of the nights. Tuesday night it was Lillian Pym and Cam Chapman finishing in a dead heat with two wins, a plus of 18 and aggregate of 33. Gordon Hogarth was third with a plus of 13 and aggregate of 26.

Pee wees win again The Exeter pee wees won the Royal Canadian Legion district "B" baseball championship Saturday in Port Elgin with three consecutive wins. The locals travel to Listowel this Saturday morning to meet the district "A" champs in a 10.30 contest. The winner of this game will advance to the Ontario finals to be held in Thorold later this month, In Saturday's first round, the Exeter boys downed Listowel 8 - 5 in the semi-final they edged Goderich 4 - 3 and in the final it was a 6 - 5 win over the host Port Elgin club. It was a complete team effort which provided the Exeter youngsters with their win, Paul Pooley and Dan Bell combined to turn in excellent pitching per- formances to hold the opposition batters at bay throughout the three contests. Pooley pitched a total of 16 innings and struck out 29 batters while Bell who was named the most valuable player of the tournament struck out six of the seven batters he faced in the final championship game against Port Elgin. In the batting department most of the club excelled. Perry Pooley smashed out six hits including two doubles and a triple. Randy Fisher was far up the list with a home run and seven runs batted in. On the bases,' diminutive Ted Ducharme had a field day stealing no less than 11 bases. Defensively Randy Parsons was a standout with 15 put-outs to his credit.

Costly Third Inning The Arva club scored seven times in the third inning and well on the way to Sunday's 13 - 7 victory. The Expos were able to get at least one base hit in every inning after the second but were unable to get a hit at the right time, leaving 13 base runners stranded. The first Exeter run came in the second inning when Scott Burton walked, moved to third on a throwing error by the Arva catcher and scored on Gary Kyle's infield sacrifice. In the Exeter fourth, Rob Grant and Gary Kyle singled, Scott Burton was safe on an error and Larry Haugh cleared the base paths with a long home run which carried to the horse barns in deep left field. In the same inning Barry Baynham tripled but was left stranded. Terry Bourne singled and came around to score in the fifth with the help of bases on balls. Bill Farquhar counted the final Expo marker in the sixth when he reached base on an error and came around to score on Terry Bourne's single. In each of the eight and ninth innings the Expos were able to get two runners aboard but were unable to get a timely base hit. The final two innings saw Rob Grant, Jim Russell and Bill Farquhar deliver singles. Scott Burton went the full nine inning distance on the Exeter mound and despite the disastrous third inning, he was able to retire the opposition in order in four of the nine innings.
