T-A photo Hawks season ends Tuesday, continue in first place tie If the weatherman co-operates and don't bet your life savings on it the next couple of weeks will be very busy in this area as many of the recently postponed events are rescheduled. The annual Winter Carnival at South Huron District High School has been set to begin on Friday of this week and run through the weekend. Student council president Phil Knight and his cohorts have lined up a long and interesting agenda to allow students and visitors to participate and watch events in- doors and outside. One event this year will take on a slightly different form. That's the usual broomball game between the teaching staff and grade 13 students. Without the facilities of the Exeter arena, the game will be played in the high school gym and will be a combination of broomball and floor hockey. The Saturday events will include the usual pie eating, bubble gum blowing and cake baking contests. Added is a test where contestants will be required to eat a number of crackers and then attempt to blow up balloons. Snowarama set back, too The already twice postponed Whipper Billy Watson Snowarama for crippled children has been now scheduled for Sunday, February 27. This is one of 18 similar events throughout the province when snowmobilers will travel a designated course of about 100 miles. The London and district route will begin and end at Hully Gully near Varna and will cover much of South Huron and dip into parts of Middlesex and Perth. Area Lions clubs are participating in the Snowarama by providing personnel at the various checkpoints along the way. Stops in this area are at Jack Riddell's farm, just east of Dashwood, Mount Carmel, Ailsa Craig, the Lucan Conservation area, Kirkton, Kippen and the Pineridge Chalet. All proceeds go to aid crippled children work throughout the province. Anyone wishing to take part as a contestant or to donate monies as a pledge are asked to con- tact Randy Collins at Hully Gully at 262-5809. More help for crippled kids The eighth annual Crippled Kids weekend at the Pineridge Chalet is set for the weekend of February 18, 19 and 20. George and Lucille Beer and Don and Shirley Mousseau have again lined up an interesting and fun packed weekend for persons of all ages. The three day event begins on the Friday night with a dance featuring Joe Overholt and the Standbys. Saturday will feature a snowmobile poker rally and free snowmobile rides for the children. Sunday will be the big day with a pancake breakfast continuing from 8:30 a.m. to the noon hour. Heading the list of celebrity chefs will be Bill Brady of CFPL in London and Ralph Duffus of the London Crippled Children's Treatment Centre. For several years now Brady and Duffus have been vy- ing for best pancake making honours and their good natured quips will add to the fun. An added attraction this year will be the appearance of Big Al from CKCO television in Kitchener. Big Al will be on hand to meet the many children expected to attend. Another poker rally will be held Sunday afternoon and free snowmobile rides will again be available for the youngsters. In the chalet clubhouse Sunday afternoon an excellent array of talent has been lined up. These include Joe Overholt, The Little People, Gerald Davidson, The Bradley Bunch and a number of step dancers. Gerald Davidson was the champion Canadian open country singer in 1975 and 1976. Mooseburgers will be on sale all weekend. Admission is only one dollar or possession of a crippled children's button. Fun at Kirkton This coming weekend the annual Kirkton-Woodham Winter carnival will be staged. The fun all begins Friday night at the K-W Community centre with the selection of a carnival queen. Saturday a safety contest and Sunday afternoon a full list of snowmobile races will be held. Conservation pledge The annual meeting of the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters will be held at the Inn-On-The-Park in Toronto from Febraury 17 to 20. From the agenda it appears as if the convention should be very interesting with topnotch speakers on firearms legislation, environment and natural resources. The letterheads of the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters carry a very interesting pledge at the bottom of the page. It goes as follows: "I give my pledge as a Canadian to save and faithfully defend from waste the natural resources of my country — its soils and its minerals, its waters, forests and wildlife." Top defenceman It was interesting to read in a recent issue of the Lon- don Free Press some suggested awards by hockey writer Dave Langford for the leagues he covers in Western On- tario. Langford listed Jack Chipchase of the Lucan-Ilderton Jets as the best defenceman. Chipchase is in his first year with the Jets following a lengthy professional career mostly with Roanoke Valley of the Southern league.
