Yesterday's winners will travel to Toronto next Sunday to play in the all- Ontario tournament. The winners of that tournament will then be taken to San Diego, California to compete in the Optimist World Youth tournament later this summer. All of our boys play out of the Ironwood Golf Club. Thanks also to Tony Jones and Rod Hippern for their assistance in transporting the boys and encouraging them during the tournament. During the past three weeks the Optimist club has been conducting bike safety programs for the children of J.A.D. McCurdy, Our Lady of Mount Carmel, and Stephen Central Schools. There were a total of 18 winners selected from the township. Seventeen of them were taken to London on June 7 to compete in the zone rodeo. Our representatives came in second over all. We had the largest number of entrants and also the largest number of spectators (35) amongst the 23 clubs in our zone. It is certainly a pleasure to our members to see so much interest being shown by the families in our area, for our efforts. Thank you. On Friday, June 14 a draw was held for a 1954 Werlitzer Juke box. Mr. L. Scott of RR 4, London was the lucky winner, Softball fever has struck Huron Park this year. As of this date there are 2 PeeWee teams, 3 girls teams, one Bantam and a men's slowpitch team. Also on Tuesday nights at 6 p.m. at the school kids from 2 to 7 years old can play T-ball. More coaches are needed so if you are interested in helping out with an Atom Team please contact Ron Morrison in the Park. Thanks to the Exeter Saddle club and the assistance of Jack Malone and Dalton Finkbeiner, our rodeo program is well on the way to completion. With the rodeo only a month away about the only projects to complete are the erection of fences and the hauling of picnic tables. With the assistance of all our members and the many volunteers I am sure the rodeo will be a success• Will pay for costs The Exeter Business Improvement Area received permission this week to have the Main Street closed for their annual sidewalk sale days, but they'll have to pay the cost of putting up detour signs and barricades as well as extra policing costs. The decision to bill the BIA for the costs was actually made last year, a fact drawn to council's attention by works superintendent Glenn Kells. Last year, the extra costs amounted to $443 and council agreed then that those costs would have to be paid by the merchants in the future. While the BIA asked to have the street closed from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. on July 17 and 18, council left the final decision on when to open the thoroughfare to traffic to Police Chief Ted Day. Mayor Derry Boyle has a not-so-secret admirer. Monday night, a bouquet of "flowers" adorned his dais and they drew no comment until the conclusion of the council session when Clerk Liz Bell wondered aloud who had contributed the fragrant gift. Looking at the collection of mustard and clover, Boyle looked straight at Councillor Lossy Fuller and asked "How long do we have to put up with that bed of weeds at the police office?", Mrs. Fuller replied that the tender for landscaping the facility would be closing this week, although she also noted that arrangements had been made to have the area roto-tilled to get rid of the weeds on a temporary basis. She told Boyle the bouquet had been "picked with tender, loving care for you."

New instructors at St. Marie, St, Boniface TImes,Advocate, June 18, 1.984 Page 3 They cited business men having to bring in trained immigrants to fill positions at a time when there is high unemployment in Canada. One speaker commented sarcastically on the "in- teresting approach to spelling that the new crop of secretaries have." Another speaker spoke of declining enrolment and the closing of school which shouldbe avoided at all costs as it destroys the community when the school is closed. It was suggested that the empty classrooms be rented out, perhaps to a doctor or anyone needing an office. At Hamilton, Trustee Young said it was brought up that schools try to get young people to volunteer help in the schools, but that they should consider as well retired people who could help in the classrooms as older people have much to offer to school children. 11101111.1., Education Director, William. Eckert said this was being done to some extent, The next meeting will be ° held on June 23.
