The crops were scored on purity of variety, freedom from smut, rust, blight, in- sects, mildew etc., competi- tion finish, freedom from weeds and stand of crop, vigor, uniformity and maturity. The directors in charge will be watching to see how each one scores out of the allotted 50 points from their exhibit at the fair in September. With so many scoring very close a good exhibit could easily put them closer to the top for their final standing. Cancer group exceeds goal The Southwestern District. of the Canadian Cancer Socie- ty has surpassed its fundrais- ing goals for this year's cam- paign, District Campaign Charman Morley Taylor has announced: The 1984 objective had been set at $1,200,000 for the district, which encompasses Elgin, Huron, Kent, Lambton, London -Middlesex, and Ox- ford counties. Over $1,251,000 has been raised to date, with almost three months still re- maining in the current cam- paign year. Th'e overall pro- vincial objective is $13.2 million. "We're running about 15 percent ahead of last year at this time," Taylor said. "The results are a real tribute to the hard work of our unit organizers, and especially our volunteer canvassers, whose long hours have been so well rewarded by the response of the public. It's been a total ef- fort on everyone's part." Fundraising activities have included "Great Rides", daf- fodil sales, teas, fashion shows, and the main door-to- door canvasses. "The number of events throughout the district increased this year, and I think that helped to put us over the top," Taylor added. While most of the funds col- lected will support cancer research through the National Cancer Institute of Canada, Taylor said that approx- imately 30 percent of the money raised will be spent in the areas of patient services and education.

CHECK RACING CAR — Linda Ragalo and Suzanne Hall admire the Canadian Tire Corporation Can -Am champion racing car which was in Exeter Friday and Saturday. grams held at the South Huron Recreation Centre. This program is in its se- cond summer and is possible due to funding by the Summer Canada Student Employment Program. The program runs for seven weeks during the summer, Tuesday through Friday from 9:30 - 12:00 and 1:00 - 3:30 p.m. It offers an abundance of activities, sports and excur- sions for youngsters aged 4 - 14 that not only keep the youngsters occupied during their summer vacation, but also aids in developing skills in various leisure activities in a social atmosphere. The pro- gram costs $5.00/wk ( that equals $1.25/day). My main concern is that criticism of the program is voiced at various social func- tions rather than being brought to the attention of myself or the summer staff. We cannot make changes or clarify the situations if we do not hear about these pro- blems from those concerned. Some of the concerns 1 have become aware of through the grapevine are: 1. the cost of the program is too high. 2. complaints regarding our involvement in the Sidewalk Sale Days held July 19 and 20. First of all, regarding the cost, I think that it is unreasonable to consider that $1.25 for a five hour/day pro- gram is expensive. We are able to keep the registration fee at the rate due to grant funding which will not always be available. Should we not receive a grant, the program fees would skyrocket con- siderabl .

Alton Cowgirls ladies fastball team ended a two week stretch with two losses and one win in Huron - Middlesex play. The Crediton team do not play again until Monday, August 3 when they host Lucan. They travel to Strathroy on Friday, August 17 and then have their last league game on Thursday, August 23 when they travel to Ilderton to play Denfield. In their first loss the Cowgirls were defeated by a score of 3-2 in a fast exciting game. The Crediton team got their two runs at their first at bat but left a lot of teammates on bases during the game but were not able to bat them home. Denfield scored their one apiece in the second. fourth and fifth innings. Leading Crediton at the plate was Marilyn Smithers and Judy Steeper with three hits apiece. Debbie Lord and Teresa Van Raay came away with two hits and adding single hits were Tammy Regier, Kelly Heywood and Fay Schenk nee Hayter. Brenda Wilds was the Crediton pitcher. In the second loss, the Crediton Cowgirls were defeated by Ailsa Craig by a score of 19-17. The ladies started off the game on a flat note and were behind 17-8 but rallied nine runs at their last bat. Leading Crediton at the plate was Teresa Van Raay and Fay Schenk with three hiLs. Marilyn Smithers pound- ed out a home run and a single and Brenda Curry. Kelly Heywood, Wilma Lagerwerf and Karen Williams had two hits apiece.

Wen - di Schwindt blasted out a home run in the fourth inning. Brenda Wilds was the win- ning pitcher with four strikeouts. muni.,es, similar programs cost as much as 120 - 130 per week. Regarding the "Sidewalk Sale Days". Our staff were approached by the BIA to run activities for youngsters downtown during the two day sale event. We felt that it was a good idea as the youngsters would have special activities, the program would get some promotion as they were very visible downtown, and we could help the BIA out with children's activities as they Aare very supportive to our program by supplying prizes etc. for various activities. Parents seemed to be con- cerned about 1. Having to pay a babysitter during those two days because parents were requested to attend the ac- tivities downtown with their youngsters. 2. Having to pay their $5.00 when two of those days were irregular playground days. Let me point out that our mandate is to supply a pro- gram for youngsters, not babysit them and in many cases we request the involve- ment of the parents in those activities. The 95.00 fee is paid for program activities of- fered, not guaranteed super- vision from 9:30 - 3:30 when some special activities take place. The students employed by the Recreation Centre for these summer programs are getting work experience for their future career choices and use the money they make during the summer for their further education. They try hard tb come up with new and interesting activities for the youngsters each week and do their best to make sure that the program is safe and en- joyable for over one hundred youngsters in this community. Let's be eunsidetate to them. If you are unhappy about any aspect of the pro- gram, please talk to them or tg myself about your con- cerns. I am more than willing to speak to any parents with comments about the program good or bad. The office door is always open. Yours truly.
