FOR ALL GOOD SPORTS By Ross Haugh Time flies ei t;;;,;.\,••_. While it seems summer is just beginning, time is really flying. Received a call this week from George Tieman tell- ing us about the 1975 Freidsburg celebrations planned for his town. George told us that two of the popular events would be back on the sports program. Friedsburg activities are being confined to one day this year, Saturday, August 2. Tug-of-war competitions will again be featured. By way of the grapevine we hear two area teams have been holding secret workouts. Both are ex -champions and want to get back in their winning ways. They are the boys from Shipka and Mt. Carmel. Arm wrestling for men has proved popular over the last couple of years and officials are toying with the idea of ex- tending this event to include a class for ladies. With 1975 being Women's Year across Canada. this appears to be a good idea. And why not? So remember, Saturday, August 2 is the big day in Dashwood. You have about six weeks to get into condition for the various athletic events. The parade this year which will be held at 3 p.m. on the Saturday is expected to be bigger and better than ever. Over the last couple of years a good portion of the profits from Friedsburg Days have been donated to Western On- tario Shrine clubs. To show their appreciation, a large number of Shriners are expected to join the parade with numerous floats. A new event Officials of the Exeter Agricultural Society have completed plans to hold a tractor pull at the local fairgrounds this summer. Fair board president Bruce Shapton tells us the date of Sunday afternoon, August 10 has been confirmed. We were at last week's RAP meeting when Shapton received permission to have the event held on the track in front of the grandstand at the fair grounds. He showed slides of a similar event in Texas and said tractor pulls in Western Ontario are becoming more pop- ular. In recent years they have been staged in Teeswater, Lucknow, Seaforth, Listowel and Kirkton. The events are sanctioned by the Western Ontario Trac- tor Pullers Association. Any area farmers wishing to test the strength and power of their tractors will be eligible for some of the competitions. Several classes will be for modified machines. Watching the mail Most elementary school students in this area will be watching their mail boxes fairly carefully for the next cou- ple of weeks. About 60 balloons were sent up recently heralding the upcoming Canada Week celebrations in Ex- eter. Each balloon carried a number of cards with names of school students attached. The finders are being asked to return the cards before July 2. Senders of the balloons travelling the farthest distance will receive prizes. We watched as 18 balloons took off from the Exeter public school grounds a week ago Tuesday afternoon and the way they took off with a strong east wind behind them it wouldn't surprise us if they travel quite a distance. Similarly those launched at the three other schools Thursday headed east. We hear of a report recently where a balloon sent up in Mitchell landed in Newfoundland and that isn't a Newfie joke. The balloons released locally were of heavy quality, of large size and filled with helium and should go a long dis- tance. So, residents, east and west in Canada and the United States may get some advance publicity on our Canada Week plans. Dorothy Balsdon and Gay Lemmond and other members of the Alpha Pi Sorority are to be congratulated for their enthusiasm in sponsoring a Canada Week garden contest with the co-operation of the three florists in town. The winners of the best and most improved gardens and lawns will receive a Green Thumb award. With all the rain we have had lately maybe it should be a Muddy Thumb prize. The talent show sponsored by the Exeter Fair Board to be held on Saturday night, June 28 will give musicians and performers of all kinds a chance to display their talents. Fair board president Bruce Shapton asked us to emphasize that this is not a contest but just a talent night. Plans are being formulated for a talent contest to be held during the fall fair in September Playground registration low Saturday's registration session for the 1975 Exeter summer playground program brought out a smaller number of youngsters than officials hoped for. Rec director Jim McKinlay said close to 50 signed up Saturday but he had hoped for close to 100. McKinlay said he met with RAP and playground people Sunday afternoon and a change was made in the scheduling and cost structure. Instead of operating an eight week program it will be split into two sessions of four weeks. The cost will be split to $5 for each of the two sessions. This will allow any youngsters planning to be away on holidays to take part for four weeks for the lesser charge. McKinlay said he had received some objections to the $10 charge but pointed out over eight weeks it only amounted to 25 cents per day. McKinlay said he realizes playground costs along with swimming lessons for a family of three children could be rather tough economically. Members of the playground staff will be visiting the two elementary schools in town this week to explain the playground program. The rec director suggested the playground program provides an important part of a child's growing up. They learn how to get along with other youngsters and this is im- portant in the process of building character for the future. Swimming registration was a different story with 460 youngsters and 25 adults signing up for lessons. Attendance at the regular roller skating sessions at the Exeter arena has been encouraging. Thursday night of last week, about 160 youngsters turned out. Crowds should increase a bit when classes at the two elementary schools are completed for the year allowing the younger boys and girls to participate.

In the second frame, Steve Dinney and Ralph Wells counted for Crediton. Harold Borden and Tom Dinney delivered hits to score two runs in the fourth and Andy Nedza singled and scored in the fifth. Ralph Wells doubled to score the final Crediton marker in the sixth. Robert Watson and Don Beaver checked in with the first two Dashwood runs in the .second inning.

In Monday's win over Dash- wood, Randy Bowers playing in his first game walked and scored his team's first run. Also scoring in the first inning were Harold Borden, Ralph Wells, Steve Dinney and Gerry Dewan. Harold Borden doubled and scored the sixth Crediton run in the second and Paul Wein and Kevin Scott crossed the plate in the third. Hits by Tom Dinney, Dave Piercey and Underhill accounted for the final four Crediton scores in the sixth.
