Exeter will be having Canada Week celebrations giving an of us a chance to do as the govern- ment provided posters and stickers saying, "Give Canada a hug " Full credit should go to rec director Jim McKinlay and RAP's program planner Ruth Durand in showing enough in- itiative and endurance in getting the project started. McKinlay in making preliminary plans said he heard lots of people say, "it won't work, People around here won't do anything unless they are paid for it." We have attended both meetings held to date on plan- ning the Canada Week celebrations and the interest and enthusiasm has certainly been very high. Most of the ser- vice. volunteer and school groups in Exeter have indicated they are willing to help. The local recognition of Canada's birthday will definite- ly be lower key than the Centennial celebrations a couple of years ago but It will show that we are all proud to be Canadians. The committee several times discussed the possibility of having a flag parade but finally decided against it and will be asking all residents to participate by simply flying a flag regardless of size. Area elementary school children are being given an early chance to participate by launching balloons. By the time this issue is printed we hope the 54 balloons are already heading upwards and outwards to unknown destinations. One balloon is being sent up for each classroom in Ex- eter public, Precious Blood separate and Usborne. McCur- dy and Stephen schools. The balloons are quite large being three feet by three feet and will be filled with helium. Ruth Durand said at the latest meeting that donations would be gratefully accepted from any Exeter and area merchants to defray expenses of this pre -publicity event. The official opening of Canada Week activities will be on Friday. June 27 with a proclamation from town council and a community dance at the arena with popular Joe Overholt supplying the music. Many interesting events are planned for the next four days. Included will be the opening of the new tennis courts being constructed by the Exeter Lions club. Saturday after- noon. Sunday's program wil involve around a community pic- nic. barbecue and games at Riverview park. Later in the evening the South Huron Ministerial Association is planning a community worship service. Monday. the annual tournament for the Exeter Centen- nial soccer cup will be held and Tuesday, challenge softball games will be played and the five days of activities will con- clude with an Open House at the R. E. Pooley branch of the Royal Canadian Legion. Several other events will be interspersed throughout the five days. Members of the Alpha Pi Sorority are organizing a garden and lawn competition with prizes going to the person showing the best and the most improved Green Thumb. Exeter Fair Board president Bruce Shapton is hurried- ly attempting to organize an amateur talent show to be held on the Saturday evening and a lawn bowling jitney is also possible. The talent show will be open to anyone wishing to per- form and a spot on the program may be assured by calling Bruce Shapton or Jerry MacLean. 'All in all it looks like an interesting Canada Week program which should give everyone regardless of age a chance to participate arid "Give Canada a Hug" at the same time. More Tennis Facilities While the new Exeter tennis courts will not be open for three more weeks a similar facility is open for business at Vanastra the former CFB Clinton. The Clinton tennis facility includes six full sized courts with a ten foot high fence so that players are not required to chase stray balls. The gates remain locked but upon payment of membership fees, players receive the combination to enter the tennis courts at any time they desire. Beginning June 12 and for the next three Thursdays, Ken Clynick of Clinton will be providing instruction to anyone needing any assistance. Possible Rivalry With the recent disbanding of the Exeter Expos intermediate baseball team a new rivalry could be shaping up between Dashwood and Arva. At least three players from Exeter have joined the two other clubs in the Huron -Perth league. Perry Stover, Randy Tieman and Dave Parsons are now members of the Dashwood Tigers and Terry Bourne, Brian Haskett and Greg Revington of last year's Expos are now with Arva. The Dashwood club was also strengthened last week with the return of John Hayter who was one of the classiest shortstops in the Senior Intercounty last year with Strat- ford. Hayter's fine fielding and strong batting will help the Tigers immensely. A lower key league It's encouraging to hear of some of the regulations of the newly organized Exeter and district men's rec softball league. In the list of player eligibilities rec director Jim McKinlay says, "the league is open to all males within the South Huron area who are interested in playing softball for the fun of it." To give every player a fair chance to see action, a rule stipulates that any player who shows up for a game must play at least two innings. This move to get every player into the game is ex- cellent and should shift the emphasis of the sport a bit more to participation than winning. Crediton juveniles lose The Crediton juveniles dropped their first game of the Western Ontario Athletic Association season when they visited Kin- cardine Sunday afternoon. Kincardine pitcher Mike Petter allowed only four hits and fanned 21 Crediton batters,as his club waltzed to an 8-1 victory. The Kincardine club scored one run in the third, four- in the fifth and three more in the seventh and Crediton's only marker came in the sixth frame. Kevin Bestard opened the Crediton sixth with a single, moved to second on a walk to Paul Truemner and home on another single from the bat of Larry Clarke. Larry Clarke went the distance on the Crediton mound. He gave up a half dozen hits and picked up tight strikeouts.
