_In two starts in the Western
Ontario Athletic Association this
week, the Crediton midgets were
able to come up with only one
point.
Friday night in Wingham, the
Crediton club blew an early two
run lead and were forced to settle
for a 3-3 tie as Wingham scored
twice in the bottom of the seventh
and final inning.
Sunday afternoon a trip to
Kincardine was not as successful
as the home team walloped the
Crediton youngsters by a score of
10-3.
Against Wingham, the Crediton
club started quickly with a pair of
runs in the first inning. With one
out, Kevin Bestard lined out a
single and second baseman Larry
Clarke smashed a long home run
to clear the bases.
The third Crediton marker
came in the top of the fourth
inning when Larry Clarke
singled, moved to second on
Rodger Finkbeiner's single and
scored as Tom Hayter's ground
ball was kicked around by the
Wingham infield.
Wingham scored a single run in
the first inning and tied the score
with a two run rally in the bottom
of the seventh. After the game
was even, the home team loaded

Big,
strong day
Saturday is the day of reckoning for the strong men in
the area entered in. Dashwood Friedsburg Days tests of
strength.
There has been one change in the entry list for tug-of-
war, j'he Dashwood team has not materialized and they will
be replaced by the Lucan-Ilderton Jets. That's right, the
OHA Senior "B" hockey champs are attempting to widen
their sports horizon.
At the recent St, Marys Fair, the Jets led by captain
Harry Loyens walked off with all the honours. This extra
summer activity along with their many rounds of golf
should put the Jets in good condition when fall training time
rolls around.
We sometimes make predictions on various sporting
events and will try and pick a winner in Saturday's tug-of-
war. Tuesday noon we had a chance to watch the Exeter
Lions in practice and with only half a team in attendance
they practiced on a large tree in Gerry Prout's front yard
and believe it or not we actually heard the tree crack.
Despite this show of power we will go with the defen-
ding champions from Shipka to retain the title, predic-
tion should be enough to send our readers out to wager on
any one of the other three teams.
Exciting tournament
Sports fans looking for some exciting softball action
this weekend could do worse than include a trip to Milverton
on their holiday agenda.
The Perth County town will be hosting the Ontario
Ladies Senior Fastball tournament, It begins Friday at 7
p,m. and continues until late Monday.
A double knock-out series will decide the winner. Teams
will be competing from Willowdale, Fort Erie, Kitchener,
Agincourt, Tillsonburg and Milverton. A club from Ottawa
is also a possible starter.
The winner of this Ontario championship series will
compete in the Canadian finals to be held in Richmond Hill
later this month.
Of added interest to fans locally, two girls from the dis-
trict are members of the Milverton team. They are Iris
Motz, formerly Iris Marshall of Kirkton and Sandra
Graham who formerly played with the Brucefield girls club.
Recreation tips
The beaches are crowded in Ontario's vacationland.
Clean sand and water which we are fortunate to still possess
has an irresistable allure for the holidayer on warm
summer days.
The Ontario Safety League has prime concern for two
groups of swimmers: young children who are not good
swimmers and adult swimmers who do not realize their
limitations.
It is a sad fact that children are the chief victims of
drowning on our beaches and the majority of these incidents
occur in less than two feet of water. Parental responsibili-
ty is the answer to this needless loss of young lives.
It only takes one drop of water going down the wrong
way to create panic and a state of drowning. Constant sur-
,veillance of young children is the only sensible way to pre-
vent these tragedies.
A strong young man sets out for an early morning swim,
confident in his ability to reach the far shore of the lake. He
has done it every morning since the beginning of his vaca-
tion. But this morning proves the law of exceptions. Half
way across the lake a cramp immobilizes the swimmer, and
without immediate aid, fatal panic ensues. This a typical
"good swimmer" drowning. An attending boat would have
prevented it.
Quiet Bears
The bears are not a problem in Algonquin Park this
summer. The Ontario Safety League campsite at Lake of
Two Rivers had received only one visitation from a friendly
and very shy fellow who fled at the first sound. It was a
different situation last year when forty of these magnificent
animals had to be shot and others tranquillized and deported
by truck to less populated areas.
But is it the bears' fault? Here is a quote from a Park's
publication:
"Feeding a bear is both stupid and cruel. It is stupid
because it teaches the bear that you are the source of food
and then it is unrealistic to suppose that the bear will know
that food thrown on the ground is "his" and food in a pack or
cooler is "yours". Feeding a bear is cruel because the bear,
having been corrupted by thoughtless people, becomes so
destructive in its quest for food that eventually it has to be
destroyed."
But further, the Ontario Safety League states, the
bear's foraging instinct should not be tempted by leaving
food easily available on the campsite. Store all food in the
trunk of your car, including coolers. On a canoe trip, pull
your grub pack eight or ten feet up to a limb by means of a
rope. Wherever you go in the outdoors, be a good
housekeeper. Burn all garbage or seal it in plastic bags for
proper disposal."
