During the summer of 1971,
the Youth and Recreation Branch
of the DePartmePt of Education, in co-Operaticon with the Ontario
Command of the. Royal Canadian
Legion, began a, track and field
program aimed at athletes aged
10 to 10.
With some revisions, this-
program is now going into oper-
ation in the counties of Huron
and Perth under the direction of
co-ordinator Bob Knuckey, a
physical education graduate from
t. Toronto.
The province has been div-
Ided into eight areas and two
regional co-ordinators have been
stationed in each area. Mr.
Knuckey, who has competed in
track for nine years, will be
organizing events, in the Huron-
4 Perth region. His job will be
to organize track and field clubs
'where, none have existed before.
Mr. Knuckey is prepared to
stay the complete summer, in
Once community if this is deemed
necessary.
A program of Inter-commun-
ity meets will be conducted, so
that newly formed clubs and ex-
•isting clubs will not have to
travel great distances for com-
petition. A team of athletic test-
ing personnel will visit both the
established and newly-formed
clubs to test athletes so that
potential athletic talent may be
brought to the attention of the
local coaches.
As in 1971, a track and field
camp for promising Bantam and
Midget athletes will be conducted
in mid-August. The program also
has three 16 mm training films
that can be obtained, through the
Regional Co-ordinator, two of the
1968 Olympics and the other of
the 1971 European ChapnPiell-
shiPS. "There is a great need, for
interested and dedicated people
and organizations to take an act-
ive part as sponsors, executives,
business managers, publicity
people, officials for track and
meets and many other of the
important jobs involved in the
formation of a track and field
club," Mr. Knuckey stressed.
"No matter what your occupa-
tion or experience all that is
necessary is an interest in youth
and their fitness and track and
field in general."
The area co-ordinator also
pointed out that assistance was
needed in the executive or gov-
erning body. That consists of
five adults elected or appointed
annually by members and/or
• sponsor s.
officials of this body are
chairman, vice-chairman, sec-
retary-treasurer , lady member
or past chairman. A sub-com,
mittee, he said, will be estab-
lished to cover finances, train-
ing, coaching, transportation,
publicity and public relations.
"The area of the new
program," Mr. Knuckey said,
"will have Goderich the central
point bordered by the towns of
Kincardine in the north, List-
owel and Mitchell in the east and
Exeter in the south."
For those interested, the org-
anization will b e holding its
second meeting on Wednesday,
June 7 at the Goderich Legion
Hall, Branch 109, beginning at
7:30 p.m. Everyone is welcome
to attend.
Athletes who are interested
in the formation of a track club
are also invited to attend. There
will be a movie showing high-
lights of the 1968 Olympics.
Anyone seeking further infor-
mation may contact Bob Knu-
ckey at the Bedford Hotel in
Goderich, Monday through Friday
at 524-7337.

The Highlanders did battle
with the Clippers on Tuesday
'night in the town, fastball league
but due to a lack of pitching
i
they fell to the tune of 20 - 7..
Since this was only a warm-up
to the big time, starting this
Wednesday, it is hoped that Don
Laurie will be able to hit the
plate when it really counts.
On Wednesday, the Dolphins
and Buccaneers played to a 6 - 6
tie. Good play and sportsman-
ship was displayed by both sides.
The Dolphins appear to have de-
veloped a new pitcher in Greg
Huether, so look out you Clip-
pers! I
Wednesday, May 31st, is the
opening of the regular schedule,

and a lot of fanfare is eivected.
I have beard, that the Highlanders
will be led on to the field by
Some local pipers! I imagine
that will be the most exciting
event they will provide.
See you at the. Park on
Wednesday for a night of good
'ball and a lot of fun.
