If asked they will gladly show you pictures of past planes that won them trophies or expound on the details of construction and aerobatics of the latest model. They were competitors in the Canadian National Model Air- plane Championships held at Huron Park last weekend, and they numbered over 300. From as, far away as Van- couver B.C. these model airplane enthusiasts came to fly their homemade models and compete for a spot on the Canadian National Team to represent Canada in the World Cham- pionships in Switzerland next summer, Not all could be winners, but it was a good opportunity to swap ideas and designs. Windy weather and some rainy days failed to dampen the spirits of these flyers, despite some mishaps. There were three divisions of competition at the nationals. Free-Flight (what we would call In each of these divisions there were several competitions, ac- cording to skill and category. As by-stander, John Doner who had come from Sheridan New York with his eight children said, "all of the divisions have their gliders) U-Centrol or Control line planes which are manouvered by means of Wires, in races or tricky aerobatics, and. Radio-Controlled planes which are powered by Motors and controlled by radio signals from the grounds. own problems and require dif- ferent skills, and most flyers stick to one type of plane, be it radio control, glider or line control," Doner, has been building model planes for over 20 years and has DISCUSSING THE FINER POINTS — The Canadian National Model Airplane Championships gave model buffs a chance to get together and discuss their interest.

Swim team does Plan Survival course well Swim classes prove very popular Swim classes at the local pool have been extremely popular this year and several youngsters who have wanted to take classes have been unable to do so because of the large numbers enrolled. Susan Tuckey, who has taken over the supervision of the pool due to the resignation of Donna Doidge, said the pool staff had wanted to hold the class limit to 15, but had been unable to do so because of the wide interest. She said that the public should understand that when classes were crowded, the chances of passing for individual swimmers were reduced. "They swim like sardines, not like herring," she told Exeter's RAP committee, Monday. However, rec director Jim McKinlay said he was most pleased with the passing rate attained by the swimmers to date and said the entire pool operation would be reviewed at the end of wingspan and every detail was exact, right down to the pin-head rivets 100 piece engine ana authentic uniform of the trainee and trainer. Spaulding has made 17 scale planes and has won several state trophies over the years. The scale planes are judged, not only for their flight skill but also for the detail of reproduc- tion. Builders of these models carry books of plans and details comparing their design to the original, Mr. Spaulding even has a series ,of photographs of crashes in the Curtis. Jenny while it was being used as a training plane, Ile had trouble landing the Jenny in the gusty winds on Saturday and the model was forced into a crash landing. Spaulding described the Jenny as "a very forgiving plane" and indeed only minimal damage was caused to the model, A spectacular mid-air crash on Friday evening put two radio- controlled planes out of action for the rest of the competition. The crash was between the second place contender in the novice pattern flying and the second place contender in the expert class of pattern flying. Representing Canada in the 1975 radio controlled pattern flight world championships to be held in Berne, Switzerland were chosen Sunday. They are Ivan Kristensen, Guelph; Warren Hitchox, Oakville and Barry Reusch, Yorkton, Saskatchewan, A nine man free flight team will also represent Canada at° the Free-Flight World Cham- pionships next summer in Bulgaria. been flying them for about five or six years. Even the youngest of his eight children Brink 4, is interested in model planes and could be seen off in a field trying to master his balsa wood glider, Doner says that there is tremendous rapport between flyers and it is a sport that brings all the generations together. lie conceded that even some girls were now racing and in fact Laura Melhuish of Toronto, had even taken second place against some of the boys in the mouse racing. "It is a complex but simple sport," he said. The complexity was obvious to spectators over the weekend who thrilled to the skills pf the 'C- Expert Class, the winners of which will be representing Canada in Switzerland. As the planes dove and spiraled, flew upside down and raced at speeds in excess of 100 miles, it was difficult at times to tell the model planes from real ones. One of the weekend's major attractions was the scale model competition. These planes are actual duplications of large planes with every rivett, meter, screw and gage in place,. One flyer said that building these planes was really a "labour of love." Richard SpauldingPresident of the Flying Fools club of Michigan demonstrates this saying. He had entered the U-Control scale competition with his model of the Curtis Jenny, a training plane used by the Canadian and American Airforces in 1917 and 1918. The plane which took 800 hours to build has a 67 inch length of the pool. Later in the meeting, RAP agreed to have the Victoria Park wading pool opened for the balance of the summer, despite the fact McKinlay reported that only two or three youngsters used the facility on recent weekends. the current season. John Stephens wondered if Exeter youngsters were being denied access to the pool classes because of the number of out-of- town registrations. While he didn't receive a direct answer to the question, chairman Gord Baynham noted that the committee "has to be area minded" and provide equal opportunities for all youngsters. This year, RAP set an extra $2.00 charge for out-of-town youngsters and everyone was taken on a first come, first served basis. At the request of Miss Tuckey, RAP agreed to close the pool this Saturday afternoon to allow all members of the staff to attend the Lake Huron Zone regional swimming final in Mildmay. The entire Exeter swim team will attend, although only the two best swimmers can be entered in any one event. MODEL UNVEILED — The model of the proposed future structure of the Huron Country Playhouse was revealed at a special patron's night last Wednesday. Mrs. Bill Schlegel, a member of the board and manag- ing director James Murphy uncovered the model.The proposed stage house and seating area will be built out of old barn board in two stages. For other swim team outings, the staff have used every swimmer in at least one event. About 50 local youngsters compete on the team and McKinlay recommended that RAP close the pool to allow the leaders to go, noting that they gave of their own free time to assist the team during the season. To date, Exeter has lost only one meet, that by three points. "We've been spending a lot of time with the team and Satur- day's meet is a high point," Miss Tuckey stated. RAP also approved her suggestion that a survival swimming course be conducted for the final two weeks at the pool. Registration was set at $2.00 and it will be conducted daily at 11:30 a.m. She said the course is designed by the Red Cross and teaches a person how to look after himself in emergency situations in and around the water, Part of the course deals with boating safety and how to handle emergencies that may crop up. The.only requirement is that a candidate be able to swim one Health report Continued from front page would be affected by Mustard Report proposals. Reeve of Bayfield and member of the county board of health, Ed Oddleifson, said he attended a meeting in Ottawa recently of representatives from county health boards in Ontario. The representatives con- cluded , Mr. Oddleifson said, that district health councils would increase costs, discourage volunteer help, cause increased bureaucracy and be sickness rather than health-oriented. Representatives also criticized the researchers of the report for not gathering information from people already working in health care sevices, Dr. J. IC McGregor, of Wingham, president of the Huron County Medical Society, said the report contained no criticism of present systems. District health councils would be rigid and inflexible in decision making, he said. Dr. McGregor added his voice to those claiming that a large unneccessary bureaucracy would be created. Dr. Susan Tamblyn, medical officer of health for the Perth District Health Unit, said public health needs more emphasis on improving lifestyles and physical fitness. "The Mustard report does not consider these improvements in its proposals." The proposals threaten autonomy, make health care Ostler and do nothing to im- prove health, Dr. Tamblyn said. Jack Riddell, MPP for Huron, said the county would be lost in the district proposed by the Mustard report. Murray Gaunt, MPP for Huron-Bruce agreed with Mr. Riddell when he said that the county „ would be completely smothered” When policy decisions were made. Experience has shown that regionalization proposed in the report would increase costs, he said. He warned of a "bureaucractic dictatorship," the councils would create. If people don't agree With policies made by their district councils, they can't remove council members in elections because the members are ap- pointed, Mr. Gaunt said. 1114r. Frank Mills, medical of- fleet of health for Huron County said at the beginning of the meeting that the implications of Mustard Report proposals on county residents Were "just beyond belief."

Interment was in Kincardine Cemetery. for the Association had been cancelled (it was six hours last season) and the EMHA had an expanded program this year due to the fact a juvenile team would be entered as well as "B" teams in the atom, pee wee and bantam classifications. He suggested RAP had an obligation to help the hockey group this year, noting that they along with the Figure Skating Club were the only organizations paying the going charges set by RAP, In comparison, minor baseball and soccer are not charged for facilities provided, He also noted that the rental fee for the EMHA appeared to be fair, but that Goderich and St, Marys charged less than Exeter's current rate. The ice time schedule presented by the EMHA also resulted in considerable debate, due to the increased hours requested. R AP Gord chairman Baynham, noting that the EMHA planned to use the arena for Hawks games Sunday night as Much as possible, said this may exclude use by the Ausable league. "At this stage, all the times requested (by the EMHA and Figure Skating Chit)) are com- patible," McKinlay advised. Jack Underwood said the top priority was local kids and Bruce VICTOR HARRY GREEN Victor Harry Green of Crediton, formerly of Mt. Elgin passed away at South Huron Hospital on Sunday August 11.

Shaw said the schedule appeared to be realistic and one that other teams and groups could work around without much problem. The EMHA, which was represented by Batten, Horn, Wayne Pearce and Bev Skinner, also announced they would be handling their own financial transactions for the coming season as opposed to having their business handled by RAP, The EMHA delegation ex- plained that under the present system they have not been given clear indication of where they stand financially and they did not have the control over the payment of bills that was required to operate properly. Bruce Shaw said he could see no problem with the new arrangement, adding that "to be honest, I don't think RAP should control or look after other groups' finances". Batten replied that if the new bookkeeping system being initiated by RAP gave EMHA the controls they felt necessary for their own operation, then they would once again hand over their financial transactions to RAP. The two bodies agreed to set up the necessary controls to provide accountability. At this point, Shaw presented a Motion that the proposed budget (with $780 of the ice time rental deleted) be approved by RAP and it was seconded by Harold Patterson. "It's the first time any organization did this (present a budget) and it's an honest at- tempt at trying to satiSfy our demands for accountability," Shaw stated. John Stephens and Bob Foley attempted to have the matter tabled so RAP could discuss it further after the EMHA officials left the meeting, but they failed to gain support for that Move and the motion was subsequently approved. EMHA officials were also advised that their Wednesday, Friday and Sunday schedules could be approved as presented. SIDEWALK SALE Exeter's annual sidewalk sale is scheduled for Saturday, The day has been switched from its usual Friday to be held in conjunction with the Exeter Kinsmen "Kitifest" at the local arena. Merchants are again planning to set up sidewalk booths for shoppers and there will also be displays of crafts and arts, The street will be closed to traffic for the day, At their event, the Kinsmen plan a supper followed by a dance. Exeter's RAP committee debated for over an hour and a half Monday night the proposed budget presented by the Exeter Minor Hockey Association for the coming season, It was the first time any group under RAP's direction had presented a budget for con- sideration and EMHA officials also took the opportunity to ask RAP to reduce their proposed ice rental fees. Secretary of the EMHA, Bill Batten, noted that the $3,780 ice rental fee included in the budget was almost a 100 percent in- crease over the previous season and asked that the $780 be dropped from the fee. The budget showed EMHA With a proposed deficit for the coming season of $4,381, despite the fact that registration fees will be doubled for most players in the minor system. Houseleague players will be paying $10 per season and all-star team players will be assessed $20. It was explained that a major portion of the deficit was due to falling attendance for Junior Hawks games due to the fact the team was rebuilding and fans did not support the kids in a losing season. The EMHA explained they had approximately $1,400 on hand to help offset the sizeable deficit and would undertake to raise the additional money if RAP would reduce the ice rental fee as suggested. It was noted that in past seasons, the Hawks had put a considerable amount of money into the arena coffers and RAP would have to suffer through a poor Season as well as the EMHA, President Ron Horn said that in the championship year of 1972-73, the arena share of Hawks game receipts had been close to $4,000. Recreation director Jim McKinley said the EMHA had been "hit on three fronts" this year. First of all, RAP had in- creased the hourly rental fee from $8 to $0.00; all free ice time Nursing director Gifford Boyd, R.N., will be taking over at 016 new director of nur- sing ibis week at South Huron Hospital. •
