The toughest will likely be the first one back to work again in August, We hope to arrive back in time to join in with the Dashwood folks in their annual Friedsburg Days celebra- tion, The committee in charge is working hard to make this year's event bigger and better than ever. It starts on Fri- day, August 1 with an evening talent show, lots of Gerrpan food and crowning of a Friedsburg Days Queen. Saturday's program will feature a parade which" is ek- pected to be bigger and better than ever, Parades in the past have been excellent so we look for a tremendous march this year. Area strong men are already in training for the tug-of- war contest. The arm wrestling events have been broaden- ed to include ladies this year. Squirts tie in soccer set In North American Midget Cup preliminary soccer action at Clarke Road High School, London last week, the Exeter squirts found themselves up against strong opposition in the form of the London East All Stars. The game ended in a 1-1 tie, with an enthusiastic ,crowd of over 200 witnessing a fine display of soccer by two well matched teams. Exeter played their usual game of early pressure, and were rewarded with a goal in the first few minutes of play when centre- forward Scott Lovie Converted a penalty-kick. The visitors continued to press, but failed to. break through a strong London defence and had to be content with a 1-0 lead at half- time. After the interval London gradually gained some pressure, and they equalized 10 minutes into -the second-half with what appeared to be an offside goal. Exeter came back and were unlucky not to score in the closing minutes of play, but again it was the London full-backs who saved the day. Most outstanding player of the game was Exeter's Steve Gould, who worked extremely hard in both defence and attack. In the Huron minor soccer league last week, the Exeter squirts had a *4-0 victory against the Seaforth Knights, with goals coming from Scott Lovie (2/I, Rick Gilfillan and George Pratt. At Goderich, the squirts scored another convincing league vie- DashwoodTigers picked up two the end of the first, Hoffman, wins and suffered a close loss in Gibson, Parsons and Dietrich scoring.

The squirts will be playing either'the Detroit Kickers at the University of Detroit grounds, or the Lambton County All Stars at Norm Perry Park, Sarnia, Centennials split The Exeter Centennials split decialons in their two outings of the week. In a mid-season tournament, the locals dropped a game on penalty shots after battling West Lorne to a scoreless tie in regulation play and two overtime periods. The game was decided by five penalty shots taken by each squad. West Lorne were suc- cessful on their five attempts, while Exeter missed one and were handed the loss. On Sunday, the squad came through with an excellent team effort to nip Ailsa Craig 3-2. Royals split four, hold second place of 'Robinson who struck out 12 batters. and only walked one. - Meanwhile Royals hurler Ron Mason hurled ' a steady game allowing just eight hits, five coming in the fateful second inning when Lieury scored all three runs to secure their 3-0 win, Huron Park 7 - Royals 2 Last Friday night the Albatross Club from Huron Park came to town and took a well deserved 7-2 win over the Royals. The Park opened t* scoring in the third inning as Jack Glover led off with a triple. A base on balls to Bob Hodgins and a single by Jim Merrylees scored the Park's 'first run. Another single by Jim Thomas pushed across two more runs and the Park grabbed a 3-0 lead, The score remained this way until the last of the fifth inning when newly acquired Terry Bourne singled and Randy Decker hit a home run to left centre field. This accounted for ' — Please turn to Page 5A Southwest Fastball Association Standing to July 9 East Division W L Pts The Exeter Royals scored three runs in the last of the sixth inning last Wednesday to grab a 5-3 win over Ailsa Craig, Ailsa Craig opened the scoring in the top of the second inning on a single, a walk and an error to take a 2-0 lead.

Easy victory The Mosquitos played Hayfield in the lone encounter and came through with a lop-sided 6-0 margin. Dave Shaw paced the Exeter attack with four goals. An interesting air show Members of the Exeter Lions club who have just completed one large project in building the new tennis courts at Exeter Community park just east of the Exeter public school are busy planning another. This time it's an event which the 'ALMS hope will bring in some revenue to assist in their many community and ser- vice projects. The Lions are sponsoring an air show to be held at the Huron Park airport on Saturday and Sunday, August 16 and 17. We sat in on an executive meeting of the Lions Wednes- day night when they met with two of the men involved in bringing the air show to this area. The organizer is Stu Holloway of Guelph and the featured performer will be Gerry Younger, Canada's national aerobatic champion in his SIS Pitts. Listening to Holloway and Younger make their presen- tation and co-ordinating planning with the Lions we can assure all interested persons that the air show will certain- ly be of high calibre. Gerry Younger's single place Pitts is capable of speeds up to 220 miles per hour and can execute a 360 degree snap roll in the wink of an eye. Powered by a 180 horsepower 360 cubic inch Lycoming engine, the sleek little biplane climbs at over 2,600 feet per minute on its 17 foot, four inch wings. Stu Holloway, who is also the commentator for the show told the Lions Wednesday that "it's an all-Canadian show and will give a good outline of all aspects of flying," Included in the show will be gliders, parachutists, water bombers, special replicas of several planes. An On- kario Provincial Police helicopter will also be in attendance `to show how it is utilized in police work throughout the province. Lions president Frank Giffin and his hard working cohorts including Doug Knowles, Larry Snider, Jack Malone, Ned Ryan, Clarence McDowell and many, many others will ensure an excellent air show for the two days, August 16 and 1 7. Tennis courts busy While talking about the Lions club tennis courts, recreation director Jim McKinlay tells us the use by the general public to date has been tremendous. Tremendous should be the word used to describe line- ups waiting to get onto the courts at 6:30 in the morning, McKinlay say there is quite a backlog of would be tennis players in the evenings. A tennis club was formed this week and this group should be very beneficial in organizing times and schedules for public participation. The committee will be erecting a bulletin board at the courts for persons to book their playing time. They are ask- ed to register 24 hours in advance and limit the length of the time needed to a maximum of one hour. McKinlay says the. committee will be attempting to educate the public to share this community facility, For the time being the courts will be kept open 24 hours a day but he adds, "but it's up to everybody to keep their eyes open to discourage vandalism. They will be kept open until the com- munity proves we have to lock the gates." The newly organized tennis club committee includes Janice Frayne, Anne Dingwell, Pat Cottrell, Al Rankin and Art Whilsmith. Another successful venture While interest is again high this year in all swimming programs at the Exeter pool officials are pleased with the response for adult classes The first session for adults is completely filled and registration is going well for future classes. This response is encouraging. It shows the awareness of adults of the need to learn to swim. With the great response for adult swimming, Jim McKinlay said this week, "This hit home to me, that our department may have been somewhat remiss in the past in not providing enough recreation for young married adults between the ages of 20 and 45 years." , McKinlay suggested that in the past the greatest emphasis has been put on youngsters with a little more con- cern shown in the past year for senior citizens but the in- between ages may have been neglected to a degree. Better tiger days We haven't said much in this column recently about our favourite big league ball team, the Detroit Tigers. Like Tiger faithful "Batch" Wolfe put it "nothing to say about them," Ralph Houk and his gang have apparently picked themselves up by the boot straps, because that's about as low as they have been, Since June 9 until last week the best winning streak the Detroit club has been able to put together had been one in a row. nut, that appears qo have changed, They downed Chicago Wednesday night for their eighthstraight victory. Who knows, Might pull a real upset and be back in the World Series for the first time since 1960, Very few teams buried in the basement on July I have ever Come through to win a pennant.
