Recreation Topics did not The recreation department has appear in the paper last week because the author was away at camp with his leaders. The camp, conducted by the Lake Huron Zone of the Ontario Re- creation Association, is held each year to train playground leaders from the various mem- ber municipalities, This year there were 69 campers from such places as Hanover, Owen Sound, Walkerton, Kincardine, Harriston, Listowel, St, Marys, Exeter, Strathroy and an outside group from St. Thomas. There were three playground leaders from Wingham, Ann McKibbon, Lynn Whitfield and Mary Ahara, The camp site was at a United Church camp, the God- erich Summer School. The campers registered on Sunday, June 27th and remained in camp for four intensive days of training. Sessions commenced at 9 o'clock in the morning and continued until 9 o'clock in the evening. The campers worked hard --but they also played hard, and all in all had an en- joyable, as well as a beneficial experience. For a break in their studies the campers had an hour's free play period in the afternoon and a two-hour re- creational period in the even- ing, which was followed by refreshments and a sing -song before lights out. Wednesday evening, the last night in camp, the camp- ers had to put on a series of skits. This activity stemmed from an assignment out of the sessions on story -telling and drama for playgrounds. The campers were divided into six groups, each group being re- sponsible for presenting a short play. These skits were present- ed in the recreation period that evening and proved to be the highlight of the four-day camp. This was the first camp in this zone that your recreation director has attended but it was generally agreed among the directors who have attended these camps for many years that this was the best group of campers and the most success- ful camp ever. 0--0--0 Monday of this week the Red Cross learn -to -swim pro- gram and the playground pro- gram organized by the Wing - ham recreation department got off to a flying start. Over 150 youngsters turned up at the swimming area in the Maitland River to take part in the pro- gram, despite the fact that it was showery all morning. In the afternoon some 70 youngsters came out to the playground program being con- ducted each week -day afternoon through the summer in River- side Park near the Scout House at the foot of John St. Gather- ing from remarks from some of the participants, those in at- tendance thoroughly enjoyed themselves. One of the special events planned for July is the Play Day to be held in Hanover on Wednesday, July 21st. 0--0--0 We encourage pre -registra- tion in our summer programs, but this does not mean that those who did not register dur- ing June cannot participate. Registrations will continue at the swimming area for those who want to learn to swim; at the playground in Riverside Park for those who want to at- tend the playground; at the High School for those who want to play tennis and at the band stand in the Kinsmen Park for the children of pre-school age who want to come out to the Tot Lot. The latter two progratns-- the Tot Lot and tennis --have not got off to the rousing start that the other programs have. W. R. HAMILTON OPTOMETRIST Josephine Street WINGHAM FOR APPOINTMENT Phone 357-1361 a very capable leader in the person of Miss Mary Ahara supervising the Tot Lot and we feel we have a very worth while program to offer the child of pre-school age. First of all the pre-school child has only the friends in his immediate neighborhood. At the Tot Lot he or she can make many new friends. He also finds it hard to keep him- self occupied for a full day. On the Tot Lot he finds a well planned and organized morning, of wholesome activities with periods of free play when he can do what he liees. On the Tot Lot the pre-schooler learns to play and get along with oth- er children. He learns the meaning of fair play and how to give and take. It has been found that to conduct the Tot Lot from 9 a.m. to 12 noon makes it too long for the small children so we are going to shorten the period to 10 a.m. to noon. To make it possible for small children, who live a long distance from the park to attend,the recreation depart- ment will arrange to have these children picked up and brought to the park and taken home at noon. If parents want to avail themselves of this service, phone the clerk's office in the town hall and leave your name and address. Now that the swimming pro- gram is in full swing the swim- ming area is staffed with life- guards most of the time, but it might be wise to clarify what we mean by most of the time. Lifeguards will be on duty from 9 a.m. to 12 noon; from 1.30 p.m. to 5 p.m. and from 7 p.tn. to 9 p.m. in the evening Monday through Friday. Saturday, lifeguards will be on duty from 10 a.m. to 12 noon, 1.30 p.m. to 5 p.m. in the afternoon and 7 to 9 p.m. in the evening. Sunday there will be no lifeguard on duty during the morning hours. Sunday afternoon, guards will be on duty from 1.30 to 5 and in the evening from 7 to 9. Remember, when the GREEN flag is flying a lifeguard is on duty and the sign below will confirm this. When the RED flag is flying (or no flag at all) no lifeguard is on duty and you swim at your own risk. 0--0--0 The following is the sched- ule of swimming classes held each morning in the Red Cross learn -to -swim progratn: Classes for seniors, inter- mediates and juniors are con- ducted from 9 a.m. to 9.45; classes for beginners "A" group are conducted from 9.45 to 10.15 and for beginners "13" group from 10.15 to 10.45. Classes for tadpoles and star- fish, "A" group from 10.45 to 11.15 and for tadpoles and starfish "B" group from 11.15 to 11.50. Brussels Night at Western Raceway The Brussels Driving Park Pace, the finest of the early closing events at London's Western Fair Raceway is sched- uled for this Saturday. This event, carded for non - winners of $20,000 in 1964 will bring together the cream of Ontario pacers to vie for the rich purse of $3,000 added. Some pacers are entered for the event but with such sharp stock as Baron Atom, Dapper Grattan S, Rendezvous Boy, Highland Girl and Barbara Johnston on the entry list, the field should sort down a little when final declarations are trade. The Brussels Driving Park Pace is named for the old Brus- sels Driving Park race charter that is presently being used at the Western Fair Raceway and should he of special signifi- cance to people of the Western Ontario arca. In honor of the event an invitation and free ad- mission coupon is included by the Raceway in today's paper.

First Game Rained Out Last Friday the Wingham Pee Wees went to Mildmay to start their second half of the schedule. After playing in a drizzling rain for three innings the game was called off with Wingham out in front 5 to 3. On Monday night Mildmay returned to Wingham and wound up getting trounced by the local boys by a 24 to 4 count. Winning the game was worth four points to Wingham in order to make up for the postponed game. The Wingham team is still in first place with seven wins, one loss and four- teen points. Wingham took a three to nothing lead in the first and ex- panded it to 22 to 2 by the fourth behind a 14 run uprising in the third on nine hits. Tom Irwin pitched a no- hitter for Wingham and struck out six. For those who wonder how Mildmay managed four runs on no hits it was because of numerous walks and errors happening in the same innings. Paul Templeman sparked the winners with five singles and three runs batted in. John Leitch collected four hits and Barry Gardner rapped out three more singles for the winners. Gardner also had three RBI's. Irwin's triple was the only extra base hit of the game. R H E Mildmay 011 000 2 4 0 7 Wingham 3514 110 x 24 17 4 Ellis, Givens (5) and Culbert, Lobsinger (4).
