Each year the Exeter Lions Sportsmen's Dinner seems to be more successful than the previous one and this year is no exception. One of the largest crowds ever, enjoyed excellent food and the same quality of speakers. Dolores Shapton, one of the organizers for the Huron South Women's Insitutes who served the meal tells us 528 person§ were served.the meal making it one of the best at- tended dinners ever. The ladies are to be commended for providing excellent service. Everyone was eating in 18 minutes from the time service began, at the head table. The highlight of. the dinner for most attending was the ap- pearance of former Montreal Canadiens star Maurice "The Rocket" Richard. In line with his popular television commercial, the famous number nine could still get two minutes for looking so good. He picked an all star team of players he played against and his choices were,rather interesting. The goalie was Frank Brimsek of the Boston Bruins and Milt Schmidt of the same team was his selection at centre ice. The other four were Detroit Red Wings, defencemen lied Kelly and Jack Stewart and wingers Ted Lindsay and Gordie Howe. Richard was high in his praise of Mario Lemieux of the Pitt- sburgh Penguins saying if he was with Edmonton Lemieux would get as many points as Wayne Gretzky. Next week we will pass on a few more thoughts of the dinner gleaned from short chats with some of the celebrities. Congratulations again to Lions president Doug Jamieson, din- ner chairman Gerry Prout and the rest of the Lions in presenting another entertaining event.
