T -A photo Honour Terry Fox The "Hello Canada Week" at the Exeter Lions playgrounds ended up with a bang Friday afternoon with laughter, smiles and weary feet. A tribute to the courageous e Terry Fox by making Friday d his day brought both h playgrounds together at the n Rec centre. Every par- - ticipant gained new insight t into what it meant to be e Canadian and just exactly how Terry Fox had pulled together our large nation from east to west. The juniors and seniors started running Fox's marathon of hope and finished it up for him. The course ran around the Rec centre and Exeter Public School through the ten provinces from the east to the west coast. Loud chants and cheers echoed thru the sky when the last runners crossed the finish line. They had done it. Earlier in the day the junior playground at Vic- toria Park made a large collage of what Terry Fox WO' " u':< 'x By MISS JEAN COPELAND Mr. and Mrs. Dan Jaques, Renfrew spent the weekend with Mr. and Mrs.Lloyd Ja- ques and family.

Thursday the junior park's birthday party for Canada was a hit. Barely had the lemonades, cookies and cake appeared than it seemed to be all devoured. The children learned different points of interest from each province and told everyone about trips they had taken. A few more highlights of last week at Victoria Park included swimmingjcandy scramble, a water balloon fight, parachute games, putting on plays of the Three Bears and the Three Little pigs, and a hunt for buried treasure. • This week This summer has had something missing with the baseball strike on. Have you ever wondered what it would be like with no sports to participate in ? Sports play a big part of everyone's life whether it be just a spectator's role or actually playing or coaching. Sports seem to help children learn good manners and discipline besides keeping them active and in shape. Plus children learn to play with and against their peers and thus have a steady stream of interaction bet- ween children their ages from the same area or different districts and countries. .• Sports conte divided into different caWgories such as play (leisure time) or organized recreational time or serious competitive sports. This week on both playgrounds the children will be discovering new aspects of sport with the emphasis in good sport- manship. Sports week on the senior playground is jammed packed with activities. Monday saw the children playing competitive but fun games in the form of relays and displaying awards in badges they had gained through sporting activities. Tuesday children from the ages of 6 to 12 are travelling to Seaforth for playday. Here all the communities will be divided up and mixed together to let children meet new faces. Emphasis is not onwinning but having fun as everyone will get a priz e. Wednesday at the senior activities rollerskating will also take place in the af- ternoon for all senior playground people. Tennis, crab soccer, volleyball and basketball are also planned for Wednesday. Thursday 's highlights are awimming in the afternoon and co-operative games in the morning. Friday is special event day and planned for this week is a Special Olympics inwhich the children are divided into countries to compete against each other but every child will have a disability to make them more aware of problems of handicapped people. Parents are invited to come and view the olympics which will take pace at Victoria Park from 9:45 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. Events included in the olympics are running, javelin, discus , high jump and swimming just to name a few. Each event will have a special twist to it so no one child will have an ad- vantage. For example javelin will have be done with straws. Therefore come out for fun and ex- citement to add to your life on Friday. At Centralia United Faith is sermon theme By MRS. FRED BOWDEN "Faith Without Works" was the topic chosen by Rev.
