Officials of the Pineridge Chalet near Hensall are mak-
ing big plans for their sixth annual Crippled Kids weekend
which is scheduled for February 15 and 16.
While the big days are Saturday and Sunday activities
do get underway Friday with an open dance with the music
supplied by the ever popular Joe Overholt.
Saturday afternoon, the Chalet will be open to all
visitors and free snowmobile rides will be provided for all
youngsters.
The very popular Chalet mooseburgers will be on sale
throughout Saturday and Sunday. Clinton sportsman
Elwood Epps has donated a moose and Chalet's well known
chef George Beer will produce the delicious burgers.
Sunday morning at 9 a.m. the doors of the Chalet will
again swing open and the fragrant aroma of pancakes and
sausages will drift out.
In recent years, more than a thousand persons have
taken advantage of the opportunity to partake of the fine
breakfast fare.•
While many volunteers at the Chalet will be helping
with the cooking -chores: -the chiefpancake flippers will be
Bill Brady of CFPL. London and Ralph Duffus, president
of the London Crippled Children's Treatment Centre.
Along with Brady. several other London media
celebrities will be in attendance to add to the program.
An excellent stage show is lined up for the Chalet
clubhouse Sunday afternoon while the only outside ac-
tivities will be snowmobile races.
The stage show will be headlined by Honey West. a
singer from Toronto. Adding special interest for the
younger generation will be the appearance of The Little
People. a rock group of -11. 12 and 13 year-old youngsters.
The Bradley Bunch. a popular dance and singing group
from Clinton will also entertain along with other step
dancers and fiddlers and Joe Overholt. leader of the popular
focal dance band.
Here's a good chance for all area residents to enjoy
themselves for a weekend and also help a very good cause.
All proceeds go.to aid crippled children in Western Ontario.
The last two years. the net proceeds have exceeded 83.000.
Many crippled kids from all parts of Western Ontario
will be guests of the Chalet on Sunday.
Another big event
Saturday. February 22 is the big event which all
members of the Exeter figure skating club are looking
forward to. •
That's the day of the annual figure skating carnival.
Club president Anne Prout and skating pro Brad Loosley
are planning an interesting and exciting show.
This year it's entitled_"TheWonderfulWorld of Disney"
and will include most of the famous Disney characters like
Donald Duck. Mickey Mouse and Goofy.
Every member of the local skating club will perform in
at least one number. Spectators will have two chances to
catch the show. A matinee performance will start at 2 p.m.
with the evening program getting underway at 7.30 p.m.
Mrs. Prout told us over the weekend that she hopes to
have top notch guest skaters in attendance at both shows on
February 22.
So let's keep the date of the skating carnival open and
support the local club in their endeavours to provide first
class instruction to boys and girls in the area.
Heading for a record
Rick Fifield. the leading scorer in the OHA Senior
Continental league is closing in on the goal scoring record.
Fifield scored four goals in the Lucan-Ilderton Jets 10-5
win over the London Kings Sunday to run his season total to
38, four off the current record held by John St. Cyr of the
Stratford Perths.
With eight games left on the schedule the former St.
Marys Lincoln star is certain to set a new mark.
The game Sunday between the Jets and London provid-
ed the more than 800 fans with a tremendous brand of
hockey that will be hard to surpass in any amateur league.
The London team with the recent addition of a former
pro Harold -White and Jim Keon. a brother of Toronto Maple
Leaf Dave Keon will be tough in the playoffs.
When it comes to playoff time the main contenders will
be the Jets. Kings. Stratford Perths and Durham Huskies.
The Durham club is presently in fourth place but when the
playoffs roll around the chips are down they will be heard
from.
Dates mixed up
This story which appeared in a recent release from the
Western Ontario Athletic Association is reported to be a
true one.
At a World Hockey Association game in Toronto on Fri-
day. November 13. the referee was Bill Friday.
A son was heard to remark to his father when Friday
skated onto the ice. "Dad. that referee is all wrong." His
dad replied. "Why?"
The son's reply was. "Look at the back of his sweater.
This is Friday the 13th but his sweater says Friday. 1."

While the main guest speaker
Jack Donohue, coach of Canada's
national basketball team, master
of ceremonies Bruce Murray and
Tuffy Knight of Wilfred Laurier
University kept the audience
laughing throughout, all speakers
sprinkled in great words of praise
for projects helping the crippled
children cause.
Whipper Billy Watson, who has
been called Canada's greatest
humanitarian received the first
standing ovation. Watson con-
tinually involved in crippled
children work left the banquet
early. to attend a meeting in
Toronto.
Watson called for governments
to abide by supplement 5 of the
National Building Code to
provide facilities in all buildings
for handicapped persons. He
asked for ramps to buildings and
elevators wide enough to ac-
consmodate wheel chairs.
The former wrestling star
continued, "Let's give the
physically handicapped their
dignity back by taking away the
barriers. By helping the han-
dicapped we help ourselves."
He added, "People often say
this can't happen to me, but I
know differently it can and it did
to me." Watson was seriously
injured in an accident more than
three years ago. At last year's
dinner he was able to walk with
the help of canes.
Watson said there are only 12
handicapped children in the
Exeter area. This figure is very
low compared to some other
spots.
He listed almost unheard cases
of polio as the reason, but he
ca4utioned. "have you done
anything about getting polio shots
for you and your children One
day it could break out again if we
are careless."
Mike Jorgensen of the Mon-
treal Expos said he was one of the
older men on the club this year at
26. He continued, "We are young
and may make some mistakes
early but we will be a 'real good
hustling club."
Ailsa Craig native Earl Ross
who has risen to fame as a car
race driver put the audience
straight on one subject by saying.
"despite some rumours i am still
associated with the Carling
racing team but will not be as
strong on the Grand National
circuit."
Tuffy Knight. football coach at
Wilfred Laurier University in
Waterloo - stresses positive
thinking. He said he plans on
winning every game his team
participates in. He added, "If we
happen to lose it's only a tem-
porary setback."
Russ Evon, former ace faslball
pitcher and top hitter with the
London Majors represented his
two sports. Evon was picked to
the Intercounty all star team 17
times.
Al Rimmer, a resident of the
Exeter area for the past three
years told of lacrosse being the
fastest growing sport in Canada.
Rimmer attending Cornell
University made the all -
