A good part of the vacation was spent travelling in northern Ontario and -especially the Polar Bear Express trip to Moosonee and Moose Factory Island. Some.of our experiences on this trip are included in the Batten Around column on the editorial page. Editor Bill Batten is on holidays and we _decided this was a .good opportunity to pass on a few of our thoughts on the trip which a guide on the train called, "a trip down north." it was a veru interesting trip and one we would recommend lot' anyone wishing to further explore our fine countryside. - • Great ball tourney Getting back on the subject of sportingevents, one of the tops in Canada is virtually on our doorstep all this week. The Canadian senior ladies fastball championship is being held this week in Milverton. Involved in the 37 game 'schedule -are .two teams from Ontario and one from each of the other provinces along with the Northwest Territories and the Yukon. -The fortunes of one of the Ontario clubs. the Milverton Suns will be followed closely b% area sports fans. Two valuable members of the Milverton club are from this area. Lynne Farquhar and Iris Marshall are ver versatile and capable of playing at a number of positions. Two interesting games are on tap following the opening ceremonies tonight at 6:30 p.m. -!Advert -an- -games - Save-Wiy— downed takes on British Columbia and the other Ontario team from Agincourt faces Saskatchewan. The Suns, sponsored by the weekly newspaper in Milverton recently won the Ontario championship with two close victories over Agincourt. Milverton as the host team had already qualified; so. Agincourt as the runnerup also made the Canadian tournament. The Suns were second in last year's tourney in Regina and hopefully in the friendly confines of their home field can bring home "all the bacon". Anyone wishing information on scheduling, tickets, etc. can call any of the Farquhar family. Lynne or her parents Aub and Grace at 235-2781. We hope to catch at least a game or two event,.
