The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1968-07-04, Page 22Times-A09cate, July. )14 190, FOR ALL _GOOP SPORTS. By R9§1„. .;Haughty. May join new 'loop The newly forined Canadian Hockey Associa- tion .with .010-1 Western Canada seems to. be gain, ipg strength- throughout the country. The organize tiOn is #ouping together some former junior "B" hockey clubs in Western Ontario to play an "A" brand of hockey, Most of the clubs in the old Western junior "B" le-ague have shown their willingness to break from the CAHA and GRA,. This new CHA is now attempting to bring junior "C" and "D" clubs together to play under • their banner in a "B" classification. Some of the teams of last year's Bluewater junior league, includ- ing the Exeter Hawks are considering the move. A meeting is being held tonight, Thursday, at the Wallaceburg .arena with an Exeter representation quite possible, A meeting was held in Petrolia two weeks ago when Wallaceburg, Leamington, Strathroy, Petrolia and Blenheim were represented. The meeting tonight will decide if the interest- ed clubs wish to play junior "C" or "B" and whether they wish to go with the new CHA or continue with the OHA. The new league was formed with a higher age limit for junior players with the age of 21 at the first of January being used to qualify. In the Exeter case, if they joined the new grouping, all members of last year's Hawks would be eligible for another full year of hockey. The first meeting decided that if a league were formed in junior "B", either OHA or CHA, players would not be imported in regards to school- ing and lodging. None of the teams present felt they could afford this kind of expense. The main question facing the clubs tonight is, "Are you willing to register as a "C" team and if the former . junior "B" teams remain in "A" CHA, are you willing to move to a "B" classification?" WATER SAFETY Now that school is out, thousands of young people in Ontario will be at cottages and beaches for the next two months. Parents have a responsibility to teach early respect for the water and by their own example practice safety on and around lakes and rivers. While the three R's are•left in the classroom for the summer, they should be replaced by the three C's — care, courtesy and common sense. This warn- ing cannot be overstressed and should also be ad- hered to by adults when boating. The use of the canoe is becoming more popu- lar each year. It is an ideal craft that can be used extensively but proper instruction from an expert is necessary. For the novice, it is wise to have an experi- enced paddler with you until you become proficient. NO one should be allowed in a canoe if they are un- able to swim. Hundreds of summer camps through- out the province, have enviable records by using proper teaching Methods. - • BE PATIENT In the last couple of weeks we have had many people ask us when we were going to order our tick- ets for the World Series at Tiger Stadium in Detroit. While a couple of these queries were in jest, some were in dead seriousness. For those who are interested in attending the Fall Classic, if the Tigers do make the grade, we pass along the fallowing item that appeared in Saturday's Windsor Star. "A note to eager World Series ticket seekers: Don't apply or send money to the Detroit baseball club at this time. It's a waste of time. No starting or finishing date for ordering tickets will be set until after the commissioner of baseball calls a meeting of pennant contenders in September. The. Tigers have already returned money and will accept no applica- tions until a date is set and announced in Septem- ber." GET PROPER TRAINING We recently received a release from the On- tario Safety League warning parents of the use of snorkel and mask equipment without first having in- struction and approval of equipment. It warns that some inferior equipment available at low prices could be a death trap for the inexperienced. Any type of diving equipment involving the use of mechanical equipment requires training. This includes the simple snorkel and. mask as well as the more complicated scuba equipment. Scuba is the ab- breviation for "self contained underwater breathing apparatus." The safest way to start is to take instruction from an approved member of a diving club affiliated with the Ontario Underwater Council. Hensall youth is top rider Young riders feature show Classes for junior competitors are quite popular at district horse shows. Sunday's monthly open show sponsored by the Exeter Saddle club drew a large number of junior entries. The top five finishers in the junior pony equitation class are shown above.
