will range in age_ from the youngsters on the swimming, soccer
and ball teams to the more mature persons competing in euchre,
shuffleboard and lawn bowling.
Sportsfest co-ordinator Helen Muller, recreation director

organizing committee have spent weeks putting the program
together.
In addition each of the 23 sporting events has a local convener
to assure everything goes according to plan.

to see any of the events at any time. There is no ddmission charge.
Full details of schedules are included in the Sportsfest insert ac-

Helpful Henke
While talking about the Jays to say that newly acquired pit-
cher Tom Henke has been helpful is a gross understatement. Since
coming up from the farm club at Syracuse only about three weeks
ago, Henke has been in to six or seven games and has yet to give
up a run.
We are not going to say we told you so, but, in a column of
March 27 we listed Tom Henke as one of the 25 players Bobby ('ox
should keep around.
To make amends for this good thought we at the same time
suggested Dennis Lamp should be let go and that would have been
a horrible mistake. Lamp who was to be the saviour a year ago
and wasn't has been great this year as a starter and a long relief
man. Actually he has seven wins without a loss.
All the Tiger and Yankee fans in the area are waiting imiSa-
tiently for the Jays to flounder. They did sag a bit a few weeks ago
and the Yankees crept up to about a game and a half away. The
Blue Jays proved they are for real by again increasing that margin
over the Bronx Bombers to seven full games.
Two ball
foursomes
On Friday evening, 24 fun loving
golfers met at the Ironwood golf
course for the mixed two -ball
foursome.
Coming in first, with a score of 42
was the twosome of Carolyn Gilfillan
and Randy Evans. Gail Murray and
Peter ('zypyha claimed second prize
with a 43.
Susan Czypyha and Jamie Gaul
gave a "valiant effort” for their prize
but Lossy Fuller and Jerry Parsons
saved their luck for the next Wintario
draw.
Everyone is welcome to come out
for the next two -hall foursome which
will be on Friday, August 23 with tee -
off between 5:00 and 5:30 p.m.
Be sure to mark Sunday.
September 8 on your calendar for the
