Officials of the Grand Bend hot Minor �5ports Association are certainly thinking in that esi direction. utu At Wednesday night's annual sports award banquet, the usual presentation was made to the athlete of the year as y far as n;itinor sports in Grand Bend is concerned. he You guessed it. The award went to a female athlete and im from ill comments during the presentations it was very IN much' deserved. '-Karen Ford who participates in figure skating, gym- .ap nasties among other sporting events received the John va Payne Insurance trophy for her efforts during the past ire year. ilei It's great to see Karen win this award. Just goes to nu show that efforts by female participants are being recogniz- ric' ed. In a similar vein in many areas, ladies are enthusiastic im boosters of minor hockey and lending their support in many na ways. In Exeter, the novice hockey team known as the Wax - /is ers have Shirley Pratt handling the managerial duties and ha she comes through with a fine effort. Iu( Carolanne Doig of Seaforth who is again handling public ?ff relations duties for the Ausable-Bayfield Conservation Authority is a registered hockey referee with the Western lel Ontario Athletic Association and handles minor games in the Seaforth area. )ei While talking about the Grand Bend minor hockey ban - o quet it was interesting to note that officers of the Ontario ova Provincial Police detachment at the Pinery Park presented a trophy. Zvi' In making the presentation, detachment chief Corporal .af Bruce Shipley said he and his officers felt they would like to Fin do something to promote good sportsmanship and decided riN to purchase a trophy. . About 45 summer resort youngsters were eligible for int the most sportsmanlike award and it went to Mark Willert, Ea again a well deserved honour. th. Shipley said his group felt good sportsmanship at the minor hockey level was a very important ingredient in ex producing good citizens of the future. Hi Canada Week of This will be our last opportunity to talk about the up- fo coming Canada Week celebrations in Exeter. They begin Friday night June 27 and conclude on Canada Day which is now observed on July 1 despite which day of the week it may fall on. The local committee charged with putting the five day event together have shown a lot of enthusiasm so it's to be hoped all citizens get behind the observances in any way. It doesn't matter how small your contribution may be. As local librarian ElizabethSchroeder saidat oneof the earlier meetings, "we could all participate by reading one Canadian book". There are other ways, too. Like flying a Canadian flag for the week preceding July 1 and a few days afterward. We would hope everybody gets on the bandwagon to show we are proud of our country and proud to be called Canadians. The national slogan for the week is "Canada - give it a hug". Let's all do this, regardless of age or how big ✓ the hug maybe. The events planned give everybody a chance to par- ticipate. For those ready to "trip the light fantastic", Joe Overholt and his orchestra will be at the arena Friday night to get things rolling. Saturday brings about the official opening of the Exeter Lions club tennis courts with a couple of top notch tennis performers on hand. It starts at 1 p.m. Saturday evening, officials of the Exeter fair board are organizing a talent show at the arena. They are expecting a good line-up of top notch talent so this show should be well worth attending. Sunday everybody get the chance to take part in the pic- nic in the afternoon and the community church service in the evening. Judging in the Alpha Pi Sorority sponsored garden com- petition will be carried out Monday afternoon with judges being driven around town by a horse and surrey with a fringe on top. It is hoped the general cleanliness and appearance of lawns and gardens will come about through the contest. Sports hold the spotlight Tuesday, July 1 with playing of the Exeter Centennial soccer tournament and challenge softball games and lawn bowling jitneys. The whole celebration winds up Tuesday night with a flag lowering ceremony and Open House at the Exeter Legion. Let's everybody pull together and make Canada Week a roaring success that it may become an annual event . A great accomplishment Received a note over the weekend from Dave Silcock, coach of the Exeter squirts soccer team which contained very exciting news. The entry of the Exeter team coached by Silcock has been accepted to participate in the North American Midget Cup competition. With only 111 entries out of a total of 627 being accepted its a great honour for the local club to be selected.. The Midget cup tourney is sponsored by the Rochester and New York Cosmos professional soccer teams for the betterment of junior soccer in North America. The four successful teams who make the finals in New York on October 4 will receive their trophies from Pele. the best known soccer star in the world. The first certified preliminary game for the Exeter club will be this coming Saturday morning when they travel to Germain Park in Sarnia to take on the Sarnia squirts. Game time is 10:30 a.m. The Exeter squirts have a perfect record to date in the Huron Minor Soccer Association this year. We believe they have five straight victories and have yet to have a goal scored against them. A lot of the credit should go to coach Dave Silcock who has considerable soccer playing experience in England and with the Detroit Cougars in the North American Professional league. Of the 111 teams accepted for the competition, 76 were chosen because of past experience in the VAMC and the other 35 of their records to date this year. Selection of the Exeter squirts mean they are rated among the top 100 teams of their age group in North America. Congratulations and best of luck to Dave and his gang.

He singled in the sixth to score Ron Bogart from second base. In picking up his fourth victory against only one defeat, Bob George struck out 15 opposing batters. Blair Stewart, who was on the mound for West Corners was also effective. He gave up only six hits while gaining five strikeouts.

Singles by Larry Clarke and Kevin Bestard produced the power to send three Crediton runs across the plate in the seventh and the final two scores came in the eighth when Rob Dickey was hit by a pitch and scored as Kevin Bestard blasted a home run. Bill Wilson was Crediton's winning pitcher in Wednesday's 9-1 decision over Mitchell.Wilson gave up eight hits and fanned 11 Mitchell batters in the nine inning contest.
