Lose in dartcompetition
Sunday was an off day for
the Optimist dart teams. The
skills of the 16 members of
the Les Pines team were just
too much • for our people as
they totally dominated the
play. Jim Parker, Ken
Smith, Alice and Bob Watson
were the overall champs.
Yesterday's play evened
up a home and home series
as our club was victorious in
a previous match up. A date
for the tie-breaker had not
been set but will more than
likely be within the next
month.
Next Sunday from 4:00 un-
til 7:00 every available
member is required to assist
in the tri -star program at the
arena. This event, which
tests the skills of boys and
girls between the ages of 8
and 13, is the first to be held
by any club in our zone.
Skating, stick handling and
shooting are what its all
about. If you wish to see
some of the skills our kids
have acquired be sure to at-
tend.
The Club meeting which
was scheduled for Mar. 15
had been postponed until the
22nd so that we will be able
to hold our club oratorical
(public speaking) contest
after the breakfast meeting.
The time has been changed
also. Breakfast will begin at
Local congregation
greets new cleric
The members of the Ex-
eter Christian Reformed
Church held their annual
meeting recently. Almost all
families were represented
and a lively interest was pre-
sent all evening.
The most exciting point on
the agenda was the proposal
to up -grade the parsonage.
Three different proposals
were discussed. A final deci-
sion will be made in the near
future.
The reports from the
delegates of the various
church groups pointed to a
very active church life.
Reverend Bishop and his
family left us last November
to take up his new charge in
Winnipeg. As a result, more
members have become in-
volved in the work of the
church.
The clerk's report showed
a total membership of 256.
The report from the
refugee committee in-
dicated that the families
sponsored by the church
have left the area and are
now self-supporting.
While coffee was being
served, the new budget was
discussed and adopted. It
showed that inflation hits
everyone: even the church.
On the evening of March 6,
the members of the Exeter
Christian Reformed Church
gathered in the church to in-
stall their new pastor, Rev.
B. DeJonge. from Ottawa.
The service of installation
was led by Rev. A.
Vandenberg of the Clinton
Christian Reformed Church,
while the charge to the new

After a presentation of
special music by the

J. Hielkema of Kincardine

It was then time for the
various delegates to
welcome officially Rev.

Among those taking part
were elderA.Hummel of the
church council, who also
read a letter from his
worship Major Bruce Shaw,
in absentia, delegate for the
town of Exeter.
Rev. J. Dressler of the
Lutheran Church in Zurich
brought greetings on behalf
of the local ministerial
association. Also
represented were the Chris-
tian Reformed Churches of
Stratford. Clinton, Blyth,
and Goderich. Speaking for
Bethel Reformed Church
was elder Toornstra.
Various delegates suggested
that Rev. DeJonge had made
a wise choice by coming to
Exeter.
10 a.m. instead of the normal
9 a.m. The children.and their
parents will be invited to at-
tend. Don't miss this very
important meeting. The

past week to form asummer
sports program and com-
mittee. Anyone wishing to
assist with baseball, soccer
etc. can do so by contacting
Lynne Farquhar at the
township office. We are go-
ing to need all the help we
can get to ensure a good
summer for the kids in the
township. Give us a hand.
More items of information
are needed for this column. I
find it very difficult to be in
more places than one at the
same time: therefore I ask
your co-operation. If you see
something that you feel
should be printed for the
public enjoyment, please
write it down and get it to
me as soon as possible.
This coming Saturday
(Mar. 14) there will be a
dance at the hall. The admis-
sion is $2.00 per person, with
music provided by Party

meet your friends and
neighbors.
Remember. You always
win of you lose with a smile.
