With the end of public school classes this
,.'week, youngsters in this area have the opportunity
to enjoy the many facilities offered by Exeter's RAP
committee and the local Kinsmen club.
Next Tuesday, the six-week summer play-
ground program sponsored by the Exeter Kinsmen
club gets underway with registration at the Arena
and Victoria Park from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Any youngsters who are eligible for kinder-
garten classes this fall will be accepted for the six-
week program and the maximum age limit is 15. Rec
director Alvin Willert and his staff of playground
supervisors spent last week at a special playground
course in Goderich sponsored jointly by Conestoga
College and several Recreation Associations.
Four local girls, Barbara Gilfillan, Michelle
Harrison, Elizabeth Mickle and Eleanor Stanlake, par-
ticipated in the special training sessions and will be
in charge of supervising the local program beginning
next week.
Children who register for the playground pro-
gram are asked to bring along one dollar registration
fee, This is the only charge for the full program that
will include the usual parades, penny carnivals and
hikes.
Willert is hoping to try an overnight camp-
out, especially if enough older children register. This
would involve the use of sleeping bags under the
trees in Riverview Park and cooking breakfast out-
doors the next morning.
The local. Rec director reports the Owen Sound
playground program has been quite successful in
camp-outs during the last couple of years.

schedule at the Exeter swimming pool will be getting
underway. Regular swimming instruction classes will
start Wednesday morning, July 3.
Instruction will be given daily from 9 a.m. to
2 p.m. and 4 to 6 p.m. Registration forms appear in
this week's issue of the T-A and may be mailed to

Corrie Plomp will again be the senior swim-
ming supervisor at the pool and will be assisted by
Doug Beaver and Carol Lynn Shapton,
At a recent meeting, RAP decided to try a sea-
son ticket plan for open swimming for the first time.
This will mean a big saving for anyone who takes
advantage of the pool facilities nearly every day.
Tickets that go on sale at the pool this week
will cost a boy or girl, 14 or under $5, anyone over
14 pay $7.50 and a family plan is available for
$20. Regular admission will still be in effect for those
wishing to pay daily.
Open swimming time is available seven days
a week from 2 to 4 and 7:30. to 9,Swimming lessons
for adults will also be given from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m.
Willert also reports that if enough people are
interested open swimming for adults could be held
two nights a week after nine o'clock.
The wading pool at Victoria Park will be open
each afternoon during the summer months from 2
to 4 for younger tots.
RODEO GETS TOP ENTERTAINERS
The second annual Exeter Rodeo that will hold
forth at Exeter Community Park on Labour Day
weekend promises to be bigger and better than ever.
Publicity chairman Dr. Don Ecker reports
that top musical entertainers have been booked for
both days of the popular show. Al Cherny and his
Rhythm. Pals of Tommy Hunter TV fame will pre-
sent a 45-minute program during the Saturday eve-
ning rodeo presentation and Gary Buck and his
Kitchener television troupe will be on stage for about
the same length of time Sunday afternoon.
Several new items are also being added to the
rodeo program itself. Brahma bulls will be on the
program for the first time and saddle horse racing
will be tried at both shows,
Ecker added that the horse races would be
between representatives from Saddle clubs in Exeter,
'Woodstock and Hensall and he expected further en-
tries,.
Temporary bleachers will be added to accom-
modate about 800 persons and an attractive gate
prize will 'be given away in conjunction with the sale
of rodeo programs.
The Dashwood VMS. are the
first team this year to come
close to defeating the Thorndale
baseball club in Ruron-P erth
baseball play,
The Tigers, thanks to the no-
hit Attain of youthful Bob Webb
were within one out of sending the
London area team down to its
first defeat of the season in
Thorndale, Friday, but had to
settle for a 1-1 tie.
Bob Hoffman singled and came
home on Whitey D e no m m e's
double in the top of the third to
give Glenn Webb's Dasnwood
team a 1-0 lead that stood up
until the fifth and last inning.
A Thorndale player drew a
walk from Webb in the fifth and
after two were out, stole second
and came in to tie the score on
a Dashwood throwing error on an
infield grounder.
In a game that belonged strict-
ly to the pitchers, Jim Hayter
with two singles was the only
other Tiger to solve the slants
of Bob Cook on the Thorndale
mound.

ened version of a no-hitter sail- >ce
ed through the first four innings
with comparative ease.
Lefty Dave Ratz held the Zurich
Lumber Kings to eight hits in
Zurich Monday night and his
mates came through with eleven
safeties to ensure a 5-2 Dashwood
decision.
It was the first Dashwood win
over Zurich this year and the
club's second win since Glenn
Webb took over the managerial
reins.
The winning Tigers sent two
runners across the plate in their
first trip to the plate and dup-
licated the feat in third and
added insurance markers in the
sixth and seventh. Zurich scored
their only runs in the bottom of
the fourth.
Whitey Denomme's double was
the big blow in the first inning
Dashwood rally sending Jim Hay-
ter across the plate. In the third,
singles from the bats of Bill
Schade, Pete Ravelle and Rich-
ard Rader accounted for the sec-
ond and third Tiger runs of the
game.
A walk to Bob Huffman and
Denomme's second two bagger
of the game produced the fourth
Dashwood run in the sixth and
Dave Ratz's triple and Richard
Rader's single finalized the scor-
ing in the seventh.
Singles by Gerald Schantz and
Ron Corriveau sent two Zurich_
runners across the plate in the
fourth to spoil Itatz's,bid for a
shut-out. Veteran right hander
Dick Bedard went the distance
on the Zurich mound.
les from the bats of Cy Blom-
maert, Murray Brintnell, Bill
Mercer and Jim Pinder were
instrumental for' the final scores
in the seventh.
GILFILLAN PACES WIN
Bill Gilfillan led the way in the
Legion 15-2 rout over Crediton
as he singled three times and
drew a walk in his other trip to
the plate for a perfect night.
The Legion after being held to
a single run in the first two inn-
ings broke out with four runs in
each of the third and sixth inn-
ings to add to a six run outburst
in the fourth.
