Murray, Chairman of William Eckert, the Board Director of Education Readers write Want Dear Bill, Please find enclosed a cwy of a letter sent to Mr. John Pym, Chairman of South Huron Rec Centre Board of Management. Dear John: As active participants in the South Huron and area recreation scene for a number of years we are somewhat concerned about comments made in the August 15 edition of the Times -Advocate concerning the possible elimination of the grass infield of the hardball diamond at the rec centre complex. It was upwards of 10 years ago that the concept of recreational area serving the residents of the South Huron area was first proposed. First and foremost was the crea- tion of a complex which would serve the needs of most residents of the community in sporting activities which are commonly found in Southwestern Ontario. Thanks to the support of the community, Exeter can now boast of a facility which is se- cond to none of communities of similar size. However, that idea of providing adequate facilities for softball, slo- pitch, baseball, and soccer is threatened by the removal of the infield. We have no reason to doubt the statistics which served as the basis for Mr. Steward - son's report to the board. However, what we do take issue with is that the perma- nent alteration of a facility should be determined by the user statistics of today. If memory serves us correct, the employment of this data as the sole criteria for con- struction of the South Huron Recreation Centre nine years ago, would have resulted in a much -less elaborate structure. In any form of mass - participation athletics, there are highs and lows. In this community slo-pitch and soft- ball appear to be at their peak, based on a comparison with the fastball recreation loop of the 1960's. On the other hand, interest in baseball continues to grow, thanks to the efforts of our professional teams, and the success of the local Junior and Senior squads. It was less Flower show is successful There was a very good showing of flowers at the Kirkton Horticulture Socie- ty's annual flower show August 21 at the Kirklon- Woodham• Community hall. A good crowd came to see the display of flowers and en- joy the program. Joyce Strahan welcomed everyone to the show and was chairlady for the program. Lynda Hodgins favoured with two solos. Jean Copeland spoke about the posters and announced the winners. Pupils from grade seven and eight of South Perth Centennial, Usborne Central and Upper Thames schools participated in a poster con- test earlier in the year. The awards were presented by Jean Copeland. Grade eight theme was "Remember the Past" and winners were Brenda McKinnon, Vicky Brine, Angie Cottrell, Derek Diehl, Julie Wilkinson.
