The year 1973 has to be regarded as most successful in this area for one particular reason. We feel the number of persons of all ages engaging in recreation activities of all kinds was at a new high. When one talks about recreation the usual thought is sports and possibly some of those most publicized. We hope with the reorganization of the RAP committee here in town that more activities for all ages of people can be started along with programs for the neighbouring com- munities. At a recent recreation meeting in Usborne township Len Love, the recreation director for the town of St. Marys gave a very good, definition of the word recreation. He listed recreation as, "a constructive enjoyable and satisfying use of leisure time by people of all ages giving them something to do in an organized way." Love suggested activities such as house league hockey, gymnastics, arts and crafts and euchre games for the senior citizens were just as important as the more publicized teams. He qualified his euchre statement by saying it was not only senior folks involved in euchre playing but many per- sons much younger. Talking about euchre we have several people on our staff who could probably use the experience after seeing their displays of card sharkery at our recent staff party. While it is great to bring home a championship as the will to win is very important in any undertaking, we feel many, many people in all branches of athletic endeavours need a good pat on the back. It takes the co-operation of a lot of people to operate house league hockey programs and this can be seen at the Exeter arena each Saturday morning as a large number of men give several hours to supervise the youngsters. The same goes for minor baseball programs which are now quite successful in many of the neighbouring towns and villages. The Exeter Minor Baseball Association is back in operation and serving a worthwhile purpose. Good ball programs are underway at Dashwood, Crediton and Zurich. Several recreation hockey leagues, the Exeter and dis- trict and the Ausable along with the South Huron in- termediate loop take care of a lot of young fellows along with some others who are not quite so young but still feel like a bit of exercise on the ice. While talking back a bit about championships, we forgot about the Huron Minor Soccer Association championship won by the Exeter squirts. A great vote of thanks should go to Dave Zyluk, Damien Solomon and other members of the Exeter Centennial Soccer club in providing Exeter and area youngsters with the opportunity to learn yet another sport. We are probably getting ahead of ourselves here by talk- ing about the future possibilities of recreation in this area. Exeter council is expected to name a recreation direc- tor sometime in the new year and this could be the start of many new and exciting activities for residents of all ages. At about the same time we expect recreation com- mittees will be formed in Usborne township and the village of Grand Bend. This is certainly an indication, municipal officials are becoming more increasingly aware of the extra leisure time most people have and this trend is expected to continue. Probably the top highlight of the winter sporting scene in Exeter was the capture of the Ontario Minor Hockey Association "B" championship by the Exeter Legion Aux- iliary pee wees. This club of young hockey players handled by Bev Skinner and Lloyd Moore were a credit to their community throughout the entire playoff series. The second important championship brought to this area was an effort by a group of young men from throughout the area. The South Huron Panthers won the Huron-Perth Conference junior championship for the third time in recent years and this is a great accomplishment for coach Doug Ellison. The high school club is made of players from not only Exeter but Hensall, Zurich, Grand Bend, Dashwood, Crediton and all the surrounding townships. Add to this the hundreds of persons taking part in five pin bowling at the Exeter Lanes and the many curling ac- tivities at the Exeter curling club. Smaller groups, but certainly not lacking in enthusiasm are the lawn bowlers and the members of the Exeter Legion mixed dart league. For the coming year we would like to wish every sport and recreation group the best in competition and possibly the most important, enjoyment. The success of these ven- tures can be measured in the amount of people par- ticipating, We would ask all sporting and recreation groups, regardless of their size and amount of participants to let us know about your happenings and we will be glad to provide the news coverage. One of the important national sporting events which will be held in close proximity to Exeter is the Canadian Brier curling championship which will be held in London early in 1974. In closing we would like to wish our readers a Very Joyous and Happy Christmas season and a Prosperous and Enjoyable New Year, Also, a sincere thanks to the many people who provide us with sports information throughout the year. There are far too many to single out. Just a very sincere thank-you. 0.5,riii.m04..Pos,O.w.,kiy;k24o4kiriiemukt.Nio*ovmti~xetiart By MIKE WRAITH In a well-played and hard- hitting atom game, Lucan edged St. Thomas 4-3 Saturday af- ternoon. Lucan took command early in the game and then had to hold off a late St. Thomas attack to preserve the win. Paul Wraith led Lucan with two goals while Jamie Shipley and Kevin Duenk added the single markers. South London came to town Friday night and went home with a 8-3 victory over the Lucan pee wees in exhibition play. Lucan was unable to score during the first two periods while their opposition netted seven goals. Scott Revington scored twice for Lucan with Martin Duenk assisting on both goals. Faron Sovereign added the third Lucan goal. The same two towns played in the bantam game which ended in a 4-4 tie. Lucan led 2-1 after the first on goals by Ken Holland and Rick Freeman. Both teams traded second period goals with Rick Freeman getting his second of the night as Lucan headed into the third still holding a one goal advantage. However this was quickly erased as South London scored two quick goals to take the lead. With seven minutes remaining in the game, Martin Clarke scored to tie the score. Lucan midgets let Huron East build a 2-0 lead early in the game and then roared back with seven consecutive goals • to dump the visitors 7-2. Lucan received two goal performances from Jim Benn, Gord Moon and Randy Kraul while Cecil Nickles added the other score along with three assists. With Lucan juveniles leading 4- 2 with two minutes remaining in the game it looked as if they The first half of the season has been completed by the various leagues competing at the Exeter Bowling Lanes.

Ken Freeman, Dave Smith, Brian Noyes and Chris Mourtzen scored the Lucan goals. Clinton Mustangs defeated Lucan 4-2 Wednesday night in an exciting Jr D game. Although the Irish came out on the losing end, it has to be one of the finest games Lucan has played so far this year. The Irish travelled to Belmont Saturday night to take on the league leading Belmont Sunsets and were handed a 6-3 loss.
