Participation is a private, non-profit company whose task it is to raise the level of fitness in the country by in- creasing the amount of physical activity. The advertising approach taken this year is a little different as organizers build on the growing awareness of the fitness problem, Some of the fillers received specifically suggest par- ticipation in various winter activities. Most people should realize by now they should be more active but could be un- certain which activities are beneficial. Some of the slogans of theParticipactioncompaign are interesting. We will throw a few of these in now: "If you walk to work, it won't be work to walk," "If you're out of shape, you're out of the running"; "being ac- tive doesn't have to be a memory"; "there are some things your tailor can't do for you" and "fitness is something you can jump up and down about". We have to hear the results of a recent walking test between residents of Saskatoon and a comparably sized city in Sweden. We would like to think most Canadians are taking a more active part in recreation activities of many kinds to increase their physical fitness but possibly more important use up more leisure time which is now available. The number of persons participating inactivities such as bowling and curling are limited by the size of facilities but there are no restraints on cross country skiing, tobogganing or just plain jogging. Thanks to the Ausable-Bayfield Conservation Authority along with co-operation from all levels of government more. recreation facilities are being provided in this part of the country. Sunday's Fun Day at the Parkhill conservation area was a perfect example of the many opportunties we have to not only getenough exercise but appreciate the great coun- try we live in. Sliding down a steep hill on a toboggan may not appear to be very great exercise but how about getting back up to the starting point. It was great Sunday at Parkhill to see the vast variance in ages of the people enjoying toboganning, skiing and just walking around enjoying the outdoors on a beautiful, sunny, but chilly afternoon. Enjoying the toboganning at Parkhill along with lots of younger folks were former Stephen township reeve Joseph Dietrich and Jack Tinney, reeve of Hay. Both are current members of the Authority. Similarily, in the summer of 1974 the Authority spon- sored a hike through their Bannockburn property and this *as also enjoyable -and beneficial. Extra activity Received a note from St. Lawrence University in Canton, New York this week concerning an area native, Joe O'Rourke of Dashwood who is now a student at that school. Joe has been elected secretary of Sigma Pi fraternity at St. Lawrence. He is well known for his hockey playing abilities at the New York university. 'Now a junior.Joe has been a memberofthe junior varsi- ty hockey team for the past three years and was captain of the team last year. Previous to his attendance at St. Lawrence.Joe was a valuable and popular member of the Exeter junior Hawks. Around the corner? While winter is still with us it's a nice change to think about the sunny south and the many baseball spring training activities going on. It's easy to dream. One of the two major league baseball teams getting a lot of support locally could have a very successful season. The team with a good chance are the Montreal Expos, Gene Mauch's boys appear to be off to a very good start. At the recent Sportsmen's dinner here in Exeter, Expo first. baseman Mike Jorgensen said the Expos were switching their emphasis from power at the plate to youth and speed on the bases. This appears to be working for the Montreal team. In one of their first exhibition games. the Expos stole seven bases. Appearing to be key man in the line-up are Jorgensen and Tim Fol i. who was a dinner guest here a year earlier. The situation with the Detroit Tigers doesn't look too good at the moment. The Tigers started a youth program late in the 1974 season and while they have many good prospects you can't expect to mould together a new team over the winter. Manager Ralph Houk has indicated he would be going again with a pitching staff including veterans Joe Coleman and Mickey Lolich. In the first game or two Lolich has shown very little. JohnHillerappearsto be in good physical condition again for this season but the left handed relief ace can't be ex- pected to carry the burden continually. During the 1974 season, Hiller appeared in most of the games until the team fell out of Contention in August. He was able to post 17 victories which is a tremendous effort for a relief hurler. The fate of the Tigers this year could be summed up by a comment we heard at the post office Friday morning. One of the best Tiger fans in the area in recent years said, "Looks like we will be lucky to finish last."

Break out in second A four goal outburst in the second period without a reply from the visitors allowed the Exeter club to score Sunday's 5-3 victory over Amherstburg.

Kim Shipley tied the score for Amherstburg at 6.25 and that's the way the first period ended. Halfway through the middle frame, the Exeter youngsters seemed to catch fire and scored four goal in about five minutes.
