Square Glancing has really
Leconte a popular attraction
throughout this area. Net only
are the adults taking to the
fast"stepping dance, but young-
stars are following suit.
Over the winter months an
average of 65 public school
children participated iii square'
dancing once a week in the
gymnasium of the Exeter,
Arena, Throughout the course',
of the Exeter Kinsmen Club's
six-week summer playground,
we run square dances every
Thursday evening from 8;00 to
9:30 and although crowds
haven't been high mainly be-
cause of the heat, there are
still several eager beavers
who turn out.
With the ever popular de-
mand for square dancing, the
recreation council sponsored a
week long trip for Norman
"Chub" Whiting to Guelph to
learn more about the trade.
"Chub", an ardent follower
of the game, along with nine
ethers, put on a show for some
175 onlookers after his lec-
tures. He tells us it was quite
a thing!
Square dancing wasn't the
only thing picked • up by the
Exeter enthusiast, Lessons

andon a basis of things to do

rant meals.
This ancient chant, as fami-
liar and fascinating as ever,
carries on far into the night,
over countless pots of tea, cof-
4 fee or anything else that's
handy and we totter off to bed,
awash, about 3 a.m.
I have scarcely closed my
eyes when one of the kids is
shaking me vigorously and
asking, "What time are we go-
, ing 'swimming, Dad?" It is 8
a.m. Somewhere or other, they
have picked up the notion. that
my entire weekend is to be
devoted to togetherness. And
somehow or other, that's about
the way it turns out,
By Sunday night I look and
feel like a sales manager who
has been entertaining a cou-
ple of out-of-town clients. I'm
sunburned again, there isn't a
coli.beetleft in the house and
�
f'vel been on a 36 -hour tread-
mi;1tl of swimming, bowling,
L'f'ampolining and cook -outs..
Around 10 that night the
"clients" are draped. • on their
beds like a couple of wet tow-
els, the Old Girl is yawning
wildly and the eat, who is preg-
nant, By the way, is bedded
down for the night. It is time
for Dad to start his Latin
homework so he can get it
done by 1,30, so he can get up
at 5;30; so he can drive back
to' the city .for an 8 o'clock
Iecture.
I'm not complaining, mind
yo`u. But compared to the mon-
astic simplicity of my scholar-
ly, leisurely week the weekend
at home is about as restful as
eating lunch off a moving con-
veyor belt with one hand,
orbita pulling on your trousers
with the other.

God in the Space Age
Nothing has fired the im-
agination quite like the launch-
ing of the first man-made
satellite on Ootober 4, 1957,
! Suddenly interplanetary'space
( travel has moved out of the
realm of fiction into that of
fact. The question arises "Is
lspace flight a God-given chal-
lenge and opportunity, or is it
hut one more attempt at build-
ing .a Tower of Babel?"
Dr. Martin J. Heinecken of
the United Lutheran Church,
in his book "God in the Space
Age" attempts toanswer just
such question s. By giving
thoughtful, consideration of
these and similar queries he
shows that science and reli-
gion are not in conflict, and.
that science strengthens and
confirms religious faith by re-
vealing the wonder and com-
plexity of God's universe.
While writing this book the
author sent out questionnaires
to Protestant church leaders
to evaluate their reaction to
apace -age developments. An
appendix to the book contains
the answers as reported by
about eight of them.

runs apiece. The boys from
Staffa plated their pair of runs
on three hits and a walk after
a bit of a defensive lapse by
Mohawk mound ace Jim Rus-
sell.
Exeter climbed into the lead
again in the fourth inning by
adding two more runs to make
the count read 4-2. Three
straight walks by Staffa starter
George Coveney set the stage
for his dismissal and he was
replaced by Gary Hopf who im-
mediately gave up two hits to
the Mohalvk nine to give them
their two -run lead.
Staffa forged ahead in their
half of the fourth by picking
up three runs an four hits and
a walk. The three tallies put
the Staffa crew one up on the
Mohawks with a score of 5-4.
Exeter tied the ball game up

baggers by Jim Russell and
Jim Loader tallied a run after
two men were out.
Mohawks got to Hopf again
in the top of the sixth inning
and rackedup three straight
singles to tally two runs that
clinched the verdict for the
Exeter squad.
Jim Russell survived one of
his shakiest games of the sea-
son to register the victory for
the Mohawks. The' big right-
hander allowed eight hits to
the Staffa team, struck out
two, and walked seven. The
win was his fourth of the year
against two losses.
Jim Russell paced the Ex-
eter attack by banging out a
double and a single in three
official times at bat. Joe
Wooden, Ron. Bogart and Gord
Strang all collected two singles
for the Exeter nine while Jim
"Red" Loader picked up Ex-
eter's other hit, a double.

triple, Laurie McKellar also
added two hits for Staffa by
picking up two singles in three
appearances. Bob Sadler pick-
ed up a two -base hit while
