RECREATION TOPICS
by IVAN KERSELL, Wingham Recreation Director.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.
