With the return of hot summer weather, pool facilities are again being utilized fully. On Saturday, August 3, our swim team travelled to Mt. Forest. And we did it again! Despite the fact that some of our good competitors were absent on holidays, Exeter swam to another victory. At the end of the meet, Exeter had a score of 265 3/4 points with a good margin of 29 points over second place held by Mt. Forest. Another meet will be held here in Exeter this coming Saturday, August 10, beginning at 9 a.m. We ask parents and friends of the team, as well as anyone in- terested in some good and en- ' joyable competition, to come down and help us cheer Exeter on to another victory. Pool staff have been kept very busy this week beCause as well as preparing for another swim meet, the second session con- cludes on Friday with Red Cross examinations. Lessons have progressed very satisfactorily this session and we expect favourable results. There should be lots of ex- citement at the pool this weekend. Hope to see you and ' keep in the swim! A record number of ponies competed in Sunday's Blanket Day races sponsored by the Huron County Trotting Pony Club races at the track, west of Exeter.

Five runs in the bottom of the seventh inning wiped out a 7.5 Dashwood lead and allowed the Mets to go on to victory. Tony Bedard's pinch single sent Ron Corriveau and Glen Overholt home with the tying and winning runs in the seventh. Gerard Charrette followed with a base hit to score Kevin McKinnon and Bedard with two insurance runs. Each team scored one run in the first inning. Bob Hoffman• walked and scored on Bill Schade's single to account for the opening Dashwood scoring and Pere Bedard walked, stole second and scored on an error to even the count for Zurich. The Tigers broke loose for four big runs in the second inning. Gary Hartman's double and singles from the bats of Jim Hoffman, Bud Desjardine and Jim Dietrich provided the power for the rally. The Mets got one run back in the same inning as Paul Charrette was safe on an error and scored on Dick Bedard's single. The Zurich club rallied for three runs in the third to get back on even terms. Singles by Gerard Charrette, Ron Corriveau, Paul Charrette and Kevin McKinnon helped the Zurich cause. Dashwood took a temporary two run lead in the top of the seventh when Bill Schade and Dave Ratz crossed the plate. A pair of veteran right handers hooked up on the opposing mounds. Dick Bedard was the winner for Zurich chalking up nine strikeouts while Bill Schade tossing for the Tigers fanned six Zurich batters.

Playground go to zone action By ANN PINDER Wednesday the older playground went to Owen Sound to compete in the Lake Huron track and field day, It has been several years since our playground has gone to this event. No ribbons were won but the kids did their best and are hoping to do better next year. With rain on Monday and Friday both groups made use of the arena facilities. Friday the bike-a-than was cancelled due to weather but on Tuesday the bikes will be rolling to Grand Bend and back. Everyone is looking forward to getting home again and having a good hot bath. The money raised is going towards a camp•out for the older playground and to help set up for the penny carnival on August 17. Pee wees lose first The Exeter Legion pee wees lost their first game in Western Ontario Athletic Association playoffs Tuesday night. After falling behind 15-4 at the end of three innings the Exeter youngsters battled back but lost a 19-18 decision to Listowel. The second game in the best-of- three series is being played in Listowel tonight, Thursday. Bruce Shaw, Steve Skinner and Steve Wells led the Exeter bat- ting attack with four hits apiece. Listowel scored three times in the top of the ninth to go ahead 19- 16. The locals scored twice in their last turn and had the tying run on the bases when the game ended. "All good, things must come to an end," That's exactly what happened when our two week holiday period ended on the weekend. All of our time off was spent on a trip as far as Saska- toon to visit relatives and to see the interesting sights of northern Ontario and the provinces of Manitoba and Saskatchewan. This column will only be partly of a sporting nature as we attempt to recall a few highlights of the jaunt which covered a total of 4,250 miles. Initially planned to stay away from everything of a spor- ting nature during the holidays but that turned out to be im- possible. At the end of the first week we succumbed and attended a junior football exhibition between the Saskatoon Hilltops and the Edmonton Huskies. The game was played at the Gordon Howe Bowl. While Gordie Howe is officially listed in the hockey record books as being born in Floral, Saskatchewan, he spent most of his youth in Saskatoon. We drove past the former Howe residence in the 500 block of Avenue A which is now Idylwild avenue. There is also a baseball park named after the famous No. 9 of the Detroit Red Wings and now the Houston Aeros. While the football game was a little draggy in spots this could be expected as both coaches used most of their some 50 players in uniform to try and form a club for the coming season. There were two players on each team who were stan- douts and we will keep their names in mind as possibilities for the CFL in the future. The two best for Saskatoon were Tom Archibald, an ex- cellent runner although he was on the small side at 175 pounds and Daryl Slade who doubled as, a defensive tackle and field goal kicker. Slade is four inches over six feet and tips the scale at 227 pounds. He kicked one three pointer of more than 40 yards from the line of scrimmage. Leading the Huskies from Edmonton were their quarterback Forrest Kennard, a good passer and a big fullback Rick Blanchette at six feet two inches and wellover 200 pounds. It doesn't seem to matter where you go to a sporting event an oddity is sure to come up. The markers on the field indicating the yard lines were mixed up. Had to check our bifocals when we saw the yard stripes in this order 50, 40, 20, 30, The game was well into the first half before the officials spotted the error and made the change. When the football contest was over, a fastball tourna- ment was in progress in the same sports complex and we dropped in for a few minutes. The calibre of ball played would be about on a par with teams such as Berkshire Blazers, Shedden and Strathroy Which participated in tournaments in Exeter in recent years. An interesting tourist attraction in Saskatoon is the Western Development Museum. A western town of the late 1500's and early 1900's has been recreated along with dis- plays of early farm machinery and vehicles. Among the stores are those selling drugs, hardware, groceries, dry goods, doctors offices, dentist offices, meats along with carriage shops and blacksmiths shops to name only a few. One of the most interesting farm machines we saw was a hay baler of about 1910. Motivation for the baling process was provided by a team of horses or oxen going in circles while two men pitched the hay into the top of the machine and a plunger squeezed the hay together. Included were tractors of every size, horsepower and description along with horse drawn ambulances, hearses and fire engines. The clothing and footwear store was one originally own- ed by the Bentley family of Delisle, Saskatchewan. It was started in 1905 by the parents of Max and Doug Bentley who went on to star in the National Hockey league with the Chicago Black Hawks and the Toronto Maple Leafs. Both Bentley's are members of the NHL Hall of Fame. Also visited Blackstrap mountain in Saskatchewan which was man made to provide skiing facilities for the 1971 Winter Olympics. Grain elevators are the trademarks of the prairies. Every dozen miles or so along the highway you may find only a house or store on a corner along with at least one elevator. Spent an interesting couple of hours in the company of Mrs. Ann Knight of Saskatoon. She took us to her former family farm now owned by Ben and Bert Blackloek Ben is also a farm auctioneer and went to auctioneering school at the same time as Jack and Doug Riddell of Dashwood. On the same tour visited Pike Lake provincial park. Mrs. Knight is the mother of Mrs. George Dobbs of town. The highlight of our stop in Winnipeg was a visit to Assiniboine park and the lovely English flower gardens and conservatory. One of the most impressive sights of the entire trip came while at the first level of Mount McKay in Thunder Bay. The lookout is located on an Indian Reserve and gives a fabulous view of the entire countryside. Governments of all three provinces we went through have done an excellent job in providing camping facilities for the tourists, Provincial parks in Ontario, Manitoba and Saskatchewan are located at easy driving distances from each other, Much has been said in the news recently regarding the disturbances at Kenora and the forest fires in the Dryden area. Although our stay in Kenora was only for a few minutes we didn't see any sign of trouble. In the same vein, we have been asked several Wiles on our return about the fires. Same answer. Didn't even see smoke. But, we found out rather forcibly that the fires were severe. Motel accommodation in the Dryden area was at a preiniuM. Most were booked by firemen, Would like to mention that the mosquitoes near Borups Corners, east of Dryden are large and plentiful, Did you ever try to change a tire with dozens of the pests buzzing around? Actually had two flat tires on the trip. gut na other troubles. We Would like to make one suggestion to the Ontario Ministry of Transportation and Communications to provide garbage cans along the side of highways, In both Manitoba and Saskatchewan, this service is provided along With garbage bags, They would be needed possibly only every 30 miles or so but allows the tourist to discard refuse without cluttering up the highways.
