Self-sufficient swimmers the letter to arrange a meeting, and he was still waiting for that meeting to be set up. Exeter's swim team will be "easily self-sufficient" this year due to their recent swimathon, and in fact their success in that event is already starting to create a problem of knowing what to do with their anticipated cash surplus, Swim pool supervisor Brian Tuckey told RAP this week the club has $1,100 in the bank already and the total could reach $1,500 if all pledges are received. Their budget will be about $900, The club undertook the swimathon in an effort to raise funds from the public rather than charging members a $10 registration fee. At the time, Tuckey said the fee was an ob- JUST ARRIVED New Selection Puppies Registered Stock stacle in attracting members to the team. He suggested any excess in funds at the end of the season may be used to purchase equipment for the peel, or it would be saved fer "sparcer times". Mayor Bruce Shaw was at Monday's meeting of RAP and turned over a cheque to Rickey in the amount of $127, which was the total in pledges received by Shaw for his participation in the swimathon. He swam 100 lengths of the pool. The Mayor said he was certain RAP members were appreciative of the fact they would not have to spend any funds from their budget for the swim team this year, . During a later discussion, he quipped that RAP could take some advice from the pool staff and swim team members on how to raise money, Recreation director Jim McKinlay said the decision of what to do with the excess funds would have to be considered. He suggested several alternatives, ranging from the purchase of stop watches and other equip- ment for the pool to turning, the funds over to the South Huron Recreation Centre campaign. Singing waters — Continued from Page 4 We must beware of thinking that small groups have the answer to everything. Not so. People with problems who go to small groups hoping to be reliev- ed of personal responsibility and to have everything done for them, may go to God in similar manner, But even God cannot meet such demandi, God Wails miracles, but not magic. He provides, but we must respond, receive, and act! If you feel a small group can help meet your needs, seek one out. If there isn't one near you, start one! Get Together with two or three others you can trust, Get Going and Get Changed. It may not be wise to look a gift horse in the mouth, but you may have trouble convincing RAP members of that fact. They've been having problems regarding one gift, that being the local tennis courts built for the community by the Exeter Lions. RAP and the Exeter tennis club have been at odds over the operation of the courts, and a lengthy debate bewtween the two this week failed to reach any satisfactory accord. However, a meeting is scheduled for tonight in another attempt to come to some agreement over the matter. Club executive Art Whilsmith told RAP Monday night that it was impossible to have a suc- cessful tennis program with two factions (RAP and the club) attempting to operate the courts. He suggested a well run tennis club could operate the program better than a body such as RAP, Plan ball tournament Interest in baseball is not dead in Exeter. At least it's not dead as far as local youngsters are concerned. Mayor Bruce Shaw told RAP this week that he helped form a pee wee baseball team and there are 18 youngsters on the squad. The boys didn't get an op- portunity to join a league, but the team organizers have arranged several exhibition games for them and Mayor Shaw said they hoped to stage a tournament in Exeter to give the kids some additional competition. He was appearing before RAP to ask for permission to stage the event, as well as to receive whatever assistance available, Recreation director Jim McKinlay explained that the California Cuties would be playing an exhibition game on Civic Holiday and suggested the tournament be held on the same date to make it a full day's ac- tivities. Mayor Shaw indicated he would investigate this possibility, but he was advised he may have some problems in getting ap- proval from the OBA or WOAA. who he noted, have many other irons in the fire. Of immediate concern to the too groups is the proposed fee to be paid by the club for the courts this year. RAP had originally set a figure of $500 but agreed to review this after the installation of lights had to be shelved this year.. The program committee under Lossy Fuller suggested Monday that the fee for the season should I be $300. There was some confusion over how this figure was received by the club members. Another spokesman at Mon- day's meeting, Bill Dinney, suggested at one point the club could not afford the $300, but said later that ,ever_ the $500 "is nothing", - Another major problem is the hours of use granted to the club. Whilsmith said the 7:00 to 9:00 a.m, time given the club each day was useless. However, recreation director Jim McKinlay said this had been expressly requested by former club president Al Rankin. Whilsmith said he found it difficult to understand that, because Rankin had resigned as president because he didn't agree with the time table set up for the court use with RAP. McKinlay said he and Rankin had worked out the, schedule. Dinney said the hours of club time, plus the fact RAP had moved into the area of staging tournaments was making it difficult for the club to attract members because there was little the club could offer. He said the club was at- tempting to promote tennis in an effort to attract more members, but were having little success. McKinley said RAP had to provide a balance for the court use, because there were some people in the community who did not want to become club members. He added that locking the community out of the courts wouldn't guarantee that everyone interested in tennis would join the tennis club. Dave Zyluk, a member of RAP and the tennis club executive, said there were areas in both groups that needed cleaning up. "We have to avoid a head -on collision," he suggested, noting that blame for the current situation could be placed partly on each group. He said the tennis club should meet with RAP in January to arrange their program and not leave the matter so late in the year. Some debate arose over a letter Dinney had written to RAP on May 31 regarding the club operations. McKinlay said he had contacted Dinney after receiving Girl hurt in bike mishap A 13 year-old Exeter girl suf- fered minor scrapes and bruises as the result of an accident on Exeter Main street at noon, Friday.
