T-A photo Soccer squirts in next round of North American playoffs The Exeter squirts have picked up a maximum six points in the first match in the North American Midget Cup soccer competition. After losing 5-0 to the Exeter club in the first of two matches, the Sarnia team con- ceded the second game which was scheduled for Exeter Monday night. In the first three preliminary rounds, two points are awarded for each victory and another two points for the aggregate victory on total goals. Because Sarnia conceded the second game, Exeter automatically was declared victorious by a 1-0 score. The Exeter club coached by By Ann Pinder Last week the playground staff kept busy even without children. We spent the week getting in supplies and going to different places for ideas. One of our trips took us to London to the Early Childhood Resource Bank where we all found lots of new and interesting material, For example did you know you could build a chair out of just cardboard? This week is proving to be even busier. On Monday we held registration and we are very happy to welcome 20 more newcomers to our program. You can still register at the R,A.P, office anytime. The children spent Monday getting to know their new leaders and friends, along with the in- termediate group, making rock babies and the junior group making flower pots, Tuesday, the intermediate group went on a hunt from house to house to find supplies which normally would be thrown out, We would like to thank everyone for their donations, The week is being spent getting to know each other and the program. We all feel this summer is going to be very enjoyable for both the children and the leaders. Attention...

Exeter Public Utilities Commission 379 Main St., S. Phone 235-1350 R. E. Pooley Chairman B. F. Shaw - Commissioner M. A, Greene Commissioner H. L. Davis - Manager The Crediton juvenile baseball team participated in two Western Ontario Athletic Association games this week and came away with an even split. Sunday, the Crediton youngsters scored a 14-9 victory over Mitchell after suffering a T28h-u8rsdlaoys.s against Clinton, Tonight, Thursday, the juvenile club will be in Zurich to meet the Zurich Mets of the Huron-Perth intermediate league in an exhibition contest. Excellent relief pitching by Larry Clarke allowed the Crediton team to get Sunday's wjn over Mitchell. Clarke took over in the fourth inning with Mitchell holding onto a 9-5 lead and he held the opposition Ahead on score but lose game The Crediton bantams won but actually lost their only game this week in the Western Ontario Athletic Association. Against Seaforth Wednesday night, the Crediton youngsters were forced to forfeit the game when they were down to eight players in the top of the seventh inning. They went on to win the game 10-9 but on the official scoreboard the victory goes to Seaforth. Last night, Wednesday, Wingham was in Crediton for a regular scheduled contest and Saturday night at 6:30 Seaforth will supply the opposition at the Crediton diamond. Most of the scoring in the Seaforth game was confined to the later innings. Crediton took a 1-0 lead in the third inning and Seaforth tied it up in the fourth. Rick Bowers doubled in the Crediton third and came home to score on a triple from the bat of Dennis Pfaff. The local club moved ahead with three markers in the fifth when Dennis Presz- cator and Perry Pooley singled ,and Randy Parsons rapped a double. Two more Crediton scores came across in the sixth when Randy Fisher walked, Mike Cronyn reached base safely and Brian Rader doubled, The final four runs were manufactured in the seventh on seven consecutive base hits. They were delivered by John Nedza, Randy Parsons, Perry Pooley, Gerrard Brennan, Randy Fisher,, Paul Gaiser and Paul Pooley. People will gamble on anything. A lot of them save money on the chance it may be valuable some day. scoreless the rest of the way while recording 11 strikeouts. Crediton struck for four runs in the first inning on singles by Brian Taylor, Noel Skinner and Larry Clarke. In the fourth Perry Preszcator walked and came around to score on singles from the bats of Brian Taylor and Rodger Finkbeiner. Four Crediton markers were scored in the sixth. The big blow was a triple by Brian Taylor for his third hit of the day, He finished the game with five hits in six appearances. Also hitting safely in the sixth were Noel Skinner, Larry Clarke and Rodger Finkbeiner. Bruce Hodge drew a free ticket in the seventh and was propelled around the bases on singles by Keith Davey and Brian Taylor. The final four creditors runs came home in the eighth on three hits. Rob Dickey and Brian Taylor singled and Rodger Fink- Winer contributed a two-bagger. 4)) 0)) • Meet Zurich tonight Crediton uveniles break even Page 6 Times-Advocate, July 10, 1975 FOR ALL GOOD SPORTS By Ross Haugh Arena first An arena first, That appears to be the general opinion gathered as the result of the recent questionnaire sent out by the committee charged with the responsibility of plan- ning a new recreation centre. About 80 percent of the people returning the forms rated a new arena as most important on the list of priorities. It is interesting to note that more than half of the returns came from the surrounding communities. Residents of Exeter made up 40 percent of the persons filling out the questionnaire and the other 60 percent was split evenly between the townships of Stephen, Hay and Usborne. While an arena 'headed the list, an indoor swimming pool received support from 57 percent, Several suggested the present swimming pool could be covered and enclosed. In its preliminary investigations the committee looked into this possibility and apparently learned costs to do this would be almost as high as building a new one. Importance of a senior citizens hall depended on the age of the persons answering the questions. Overall it was given 41 percent approval which is quite good from all ages, but for persons in the 45 years and over category the response was 75 per cent. We would imagine that the lower rating by the general public was due somewhat to the recent establishment of the Well-Come-Inn for seniors in the Exeter Scout Hall and talk of restoring the present town hall to include a facility for seniors. Actually, a hall or some room in the old town hall would make an ideal spot for seniors to gather. The location is cer- tainly centraj.. The Scout house being at the westerly end of town seems to deter some people from participating and a spot in the new recreation centre would also be not as ad- vantageous as far as a location is concerned. When talking about a site for the new recreation centre if and when it becomes a reality it seems to be almost cer- tain to be located on the present fair grounds property. The only facility which would have to be moved would be the race track. In the survey, more than 85 percent favoured removal of the race track if it was necessary to build additional recreational facilities. The fair grounds appears to be the logical site. There is adequate land available and probably the most important fact is the cost involved. The property is already owned by the town of Exeter. One important factor we would like to point out con- cerns the rodeo. The committee feels that new installations can be made quite satisfactorily without disturbing the pre- sent rodeo grounds. Everyone concerned with financing of the proposed project is being asked to wait until early fall when informa- tion will be released on how such a centre could be financ- ed. Construction of a recent arena and recreation.centre in Thamesford costing about a half million dollars was com- pleted without costing taxpayers any additional monies. A large portion of the money came through provincial grants and winter works projects. We know that financing is of great concern to senior citizens who are on fixed incomes. It is hoped the centre can be established with only a minimum increase in taxes, if any. The next meeting of the recreation committee will be held on Wednesday, July 16 at 8 p.m. at the Exeter public school library when results of the questionnaire will be dis- cussed in length. More about Canada Week Canada Week celebrations in Exeter are over for this year and time to take a look at the situation with a thought of making it an annual affair. There are many ways to measure the success of any event. Some will say, "How much money was spent and was there any profit?" Recreation director Jim McKinlay told us this week he feels the Week was a success due to the enjoyment gained by the persons participating. McKinlay continued, "Our objective was to offer peo- ple a chance to get together. Enjoyment not crowds was our criteria for success and I feel the people who turned out for the events really had a good time." A meeting of the Canada Week committee is being held within the next week to talk about next year. Back to the question of finances, very little money was spent in putting on the various events. With costs low the importance then should be put on enjoyment. If a lot of money had been spent then we feel the numbers as far as participation and as spectators would become important. While there were many volunteers to help stage the numerous projects, one person stood out and he should receive proper credit. Dick Vanderguns.t of Exeter Ford Equipment was very instrumental in operating the balloonerama which provided pre-publicity for the Canada Week festivities. Vandergunst purchased the balloons which were releas- ed by students of five Exeter and area elementary schools. Each student who attached his name to a balloon paid 10 cents for the privilege but this only took care of about half of the expenses and Vandergunst took care of the balance. The Ford dealer also supplied a man and trucks to move tables and chairs for the community dance which was sponsored by RAP and turned out to be a success, The challenge ball games Tuesday afternoon proved that people can get together and have fun on a low key. Several have suggested since that this type of ball game be continued in the form of a league. It would certainly give a lot of people the chance to get a much needed opportunity for exercise in the form of swinging a bat and running around the bases, In this type of game umpires are really not needed as each batter gets only three pitches served up by a member of his own team so it's best for the pitcher to be able to hit the bat of his team-mate. This brand of ball certainly eliminates the importance of winning and creates a very important attitude allowing everyone to have fun. We watched a few minutes of the game Tuesday between the two Sororities and the girls really enjoyed themselves and so did the fans in the stands.
