The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1966-03-03, Page 3 ;;.4. 44:40.16, • By MRS. HAROLD DAVIS Badminton Rifle competition Hockey "Best carnival ever with record crowds 119 Inter-service sports By MRS. FRED BOWDEN Broomba Safe driving awards presented at Clinton "Best Carnival Ever". This was the proclamation made by Mrs. Jack Fuller, president of the Exeter Figure Skating Club at the conclusion of the annual carnival held at the Exeter Arena Saturday night. Statistics certainly back up the president and her enthusiastic executive as more than 800 per- sons paid their way through the turnstiles to watch this year's show presented by the more than 90 members of the local skating club. The revue aptly named "Holi- days On Ice" depicted most of our national holidays with a few of the sentimental ones thrown in. The year started away on a gala theme with New Year's Eve celebrations based on several dance numbers with Judy Estey and Cathy Corbett in soloist roles. Next came seven little sweet- hearts dressed in valentine garb with Christine Price as a special sweetheart and Launa Fuller and Brenda M. Brintnell in a Valen- tine Surprise. Our fastest approaching holi- days were depicted with a lepre- chaun, Sheila Willert reminding everyone of St. Patrick's Day and hosts of bunnies and chicks along with an Easter Parade and April Showers. Lynne Farquhar led the bun- nies, Cathy Holtzman was the "Cutest Chic" and Linda Lowery was cast as the top April Shower. After an intermission the show resumed with May Flowers, Fireworks and a Sky Rocket re- presenting Victoria Day. With most of the spectators bundled up in overcoats an d scarves, ten bathing b e au ties came gliding over the ice to warm the hearts of all. Black cats, witches and goblins gave the show a fall and Hallow- e'en atmosphere starring Yvonne Romaniuk in soloist action. "The Christmas' Spirit" was brought back for a few short mo- ments as toy soldiers, elves, snowflakes, reindeer and old with the paper drive. A second load remains to be delivered. Highlighting the meeting was an interesting and informative address by Mrs. Lorne Hicks on "The Power of a Resolute Minority and its Responsibility". The speaker used historical and biblical references to prove her point and pointed out that it is hard to belong to a minority although there is a real chal- lenge in standing up for one's conviction of right. Santa himself came striding forth. Ken Davidson portrayed the portly gentleman that comes down the chimney and Brenda.J.Brint- nell skated as Susie Snowflake. Featured artists for the even- ing were Vicki e, Debbie and Marilyn Hannigan and Paul Gig- nac of the Windsor and Riverside Skating Clubs. At the close of the show, the youngest skaters in the club, Elizabeth Vriese and Peter Mar- lene presented Mrs. Faye Mac- Donald, local club instructress with flowers. Glen Latour handled the mast- er of ceremonies duties and all of the executive were in the wings with a helping hand. Rumig, Frank Robinson, Les Mit- chell. Jim Kneel° representing W. H. Hodgson Insurance Ltd., pre- sented the top driver Anton Han- sen with a cheque in recognition of his ten years safe driving. Short remarks were made by Wilf Linder of the Transporta- tion Safety Association of Can- ada and Gerry Lackie Depart- ment of Transport of Ontario. Milt Willert, Manager Goder- ich Branch, thanked B. W. Tuck- ey on behalf of all employees, After the presentation dancing to Jim McFarlane and his or- chestra was enjoyed by all.

The Township public school board asked that present plans for the 12 room school now being built, be expanded to include one extra classroom and a library. The Township's share will be $28,125.

WORLD DAY OF PRAYER "Ye Are My Witnesses" was the theme for the World Day of Prayer service observed in the United Church Friday afternoon with Mrs. Ross McFalls and Mrs. Chas, Rollings as leaders. Mrs. McFalls opened the meeting with a poem "The Heart Garden". Mrs. Elmer Powe in a chal- lenging address on the theme pointed out that God's love ex- tends to all people. She asked, "Am I truly His witness in the place where I live? Witnessing means campaigning for Christian standards, having a concern for the people; being ready to help where possible. We are told to "Go and Teach all nations". This is not the duty of a few but should be the responsibility of every member of the church. The most effective witnessing is not in what we say but what we do". Other ladies taking part in the service were Mrs. W. R. Essery and Mrs. Harvey Smith who took up the offering. Mrs. K. Greb, Mrs. S. Skinner, Mrs. Cliff Roll- ings and Mrs. F. Bowden who read petitions of intercession. Mrs. K. Hodgins was the pianist for the service. On Saturday February 26, RCAF Station Centralia played host to the second tournament of the Western Ontario Armed Forces Sports Association winter competition. This occasion was the second of a three phase competition, with the first tournament being held at RCAF Station Clinton on March 5, whilst the third and final tournament is slated for March 12 at Wolesley Barracks, London. The aim of this Association is to foster and promote competitive sports within the units of the Armed Forces located in Western Ontario, If results are to be used as a yard-stick, then one of the Association's objectives is being attained, At the end of the Clinton competition the scores were: Stn. Clinton 20 points; Stn. Centralia 20, points; and Western Ontario Area (Army) 14 points. Even though RCAF Stn. Clinton did get the final nod, honours were fairly evenly distributed at the completion of the tournament held last weekend at Centralia. Final accumulated points were Clinton 43 points; Centralia 39 points; and London Army 26 points. Centralia took the hockey honours beating London 6-5, and de- molishing Clinton 14-2. Badminton was evenly split with Clinton winning the single events, Centralia the doubles, and the Army picking up points in both singles and doubles matches. Clinton came through very strongly on the Basketball court to beat both Centralia and London Army. Although Centralia came out on top over the Army, they seemed to lack the staying power of the Clinton boys. Clinton again came through in the Volleyball competition, beating the other two teams. As in basketball, Centralia topped London, but could not measure up to the Clinton six. On the Rifle range, Clinton sharp-shooters scored 968 out of a possible 1000, to Centralia's 968 and London Army's 959. The Army picked up the points at stake on the Bowling lanes, scoring a total of 11,526 pins, to 10,985 for Clinton and 10,815 for Centralia. Final results in all events of the competition will not be known until the completion of the third tournament scheduled for March 12 at London. Let's wish the best of luck to our own local representatives in this Armed Forces competition the boys from Centralia. for the day with the theme "ye are my Witnesses" was used as the worship service.
