She also told about her experience when she was called for jury duty last year. This tied in with the motto which was "People, like fire, take a new interest when stirred up a bit" and the topic which was Citizenship and World Affairs. Mrs. Summers gave current events, reading an article in the Free Press recently about a new discovery of a cure for the common cold an account of London's Burns Club Annual Dinner, concluding with some help on converting to metric measure. • CGIT News Granton CGIT and their leaders met Tuesday at noon hour and travelled to Ski Hi to try their skill with skis.

Lions president, Robert Foster and vice president Wilf Riddell made the presentation to fire chief Ward Ellyatt-and president of the Firemen's Association Valentine Middleton. Following the meeting, chief Ellyatt gave an in- formative talk on fire protection. Some of his comments were. "When you have a fire, call the fire department first, no matter how small the fire do not try to extinguish it and then call. It may be too late!! Make sure you call the right number. In the Granton area call 433-1000. Give your street, ldt and concession numbers. The next speaker was Jerry Sunstrum from the fire marshall's office in London, who talked on how much protection we get for the little it costs to us. He also discussed the problems they get with towns, township, and county boundaries. Following Mr. Sunstrum John Riddell from the Lucan fire department demon- strated the RS10 kit which he bad on display. It is the equipment the Granton department needs to com- plete their rescue unit. This kit comes at a cost of $2,730. The Granton Lions voted on this after the regular meeting and a film was shown. Excluding the Lions who are firemen, the vote was 100percent in favour for the purchase of the RS1O kit and that it be the project for 1982.

The Grand Bend native ac- cumulated 133 points in eight races spread over four weekends in January, and was 13 points behind the winner. The tournament is held by the American Motor- cycle Association and drew between 100 and 150 riders. The races were held in Orlando, Cocoa Beach and St. Petersberg. Ford, a grade 11 student at South Huron District High School, raced twice a day for four Saturdays as a 250-c.c. novice. He placed tenth, six- th, third and third respec- tively in the four days, and his points were averaged out to determine his final series standing. Ford said he was happy to have achieved what he did. "although it's better to be first," he admitted. Motocross racing is a tough, demanding sport re- quiring great physical stamina from the rider, Ford said. The tracks are typically rutted, hilly, and punctuated with sharp turns, water hazards and hills of all sizes. The track surface in Florida was sand. Average speed is about 40 miles an hour, although bursts of 60 are possible, he added. The physical punishment is on the hands, wrists, shoulders and arms as drivers fight to control and steer their pounding, boun- cing machines. The course usually follows a tortuous zig-zag pattern. In spite of all this, Ford insists the sport is relatively safe com- pared to others. Riders are equipped with full -face helmets, shoulder and elbow pads, protective boots and gloves, and goggles to ward off flying mud and stones. There are not many regulations prescribing what riders must wear, but any knowledgeable motocross rider knows his own safety depends on buyingand using the best he can get, Ford af- firmed. Ford says he is a believer in Suzuki, the make of motorcycle he ro4tritil through the Florida ser. His RM 250 machine was loaned to him by }fully Gully of Varna for the season. "A bike's suspension is the se- cond most important compo- nent in racing. The motor is what drives you, but the suspension must stand up to the track surface and help your keep control," he said emphatically. Unfortunately, his loaned machine overheated and seized up in a practice race, and Ford had to rely on his personal Suzuki to race with. Similarly, equipment dealers give him supplies in return for having a badge af- fixed to his shirt as com- plimentary advertising. Thus he bears the names Champion and Amsoll, a Kippen synthetic oil outlet. Reputations can be made easily in major races for manuafacturers if their products are linked with winning riders, Ford said. Ford's racing hobby has been marred by only one ac- cident, which he regards almost as a freak. His left handlebar clipped a short protruding tree branch as he was manoeuvering for posi- tion while taking a corner. The impact broke hiseft hand. Ford later cut off The offending limb to take home as a kind of keepsake. A steel plate and six weeks of recuperation set him back - in the seat of his bike, and to this day the possibility of in- jury is far from his mind. When asked about it, he again points to the injuries suffered in other less risky sports and repeats that good equipment is the best in- surance against bodily harm. - Ford stayed in Florida for three weeks, racing only on the three Saturdays as dic- tated by the schedule. He also entered a few unrelated races and picked up six other trophies."I spent the rest of the time shopping for the family. maintaining the bikes and doing homework," he said. His teachers had given him assignments and readings in advance to take south with him. He is a bit behind his classmates at the moment, but says he will SECOND-BEST RIDER — Randy Ford placed second in the Florida Motocross Series last month and missed three weeks of school to do it. The tallest trophy here is the one he received for his achievement. Older trophies fill the shelves in a small basement room at his Grand Bend home. Beware of sliders In view of the high banks along most Exeter side streets, r�town police have By MRS. HEBER DAVIS Church service and Vestry meetings were held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Daves Sunday morning. Reports were read and adopted by the vestry clerk Mrs, Irene Carroll.

Mr. and Mrs. Michael Davis were weekend guests with Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Dietrich, Dashwood. n asked parents to not allow children to turn the banks into slides that will carry them into the paths of cars. Police Chief Ted Day noted this week that there are plenty of high banks in most backyards or in areas where youngsters will not be endangered by vehicular traffic. He urges motorists to use caution when driving along the side streets and to watch for children who are playing on the banks or walking along the roads.

These tokens, however, seem secondary to the thrill of personal attrac- tion to the sport itself. "Everyone in motocross loves it," he declared to define the drive that brings riders and their fans to race tracks everywhere. Ford himself does not talk of the ambition to win this par- ticular -trophy or that specific race, but indirectly suggests in his conversation that racing per se is fun and well worth the training and sacrifices it demands. His own sacrifices are carried out in a basement exerciseroom where he lifts weights and jumps rope. A whirlpool bath is there, too, to cool off in afterwards. Ex- ercise like this is essential if he is to stay In proper condi- tion between races, he says. As for diet, "I eat a lot, but I'm not a health food nut," he said simply. Ford is sponsored by his father Ifvin, manager of the Klondyke Gardens Co-op and race announcer at the Hully Investigate only three accidents Despite stormy weather conditions which started Saturday, the Exeter detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police was called on to investigate only three minor accidents. - Tuesday, vehicles driven by Albert Agar, Hensall and William Lammers, RR 5, Watford collided on the parking lot of the Hensall District Co -Operative. Damage was estimated at - 8600. A vehicle driven by Robert Forrest, RR 2, Hensall left the roadway of Concession 2- 3 in Hay township, north of Highway 84 and rolled over, Friday. Damages were listed at 81,800. Damage was set at 8400 when a vehicle driven by Jeremy Shapiro, London went out of control, Thur- sday on Huron County road 6 and slid into a snowbank.

The two of them drove together to Florida in their Chrysler, the motorcycle trailer behind them. Ford is licensed by the Canadian Motorcycle Association, which issues him his official racing number. He is now awaiting reply from the CMA to see which number he can use this year.
