PULL TO WIN — This group of cadets won the annual tug-of-war competition at the corps annual con-
-test, Thursday.- Dean McKnight, standing left, presented the Exeter Legion award, although ironically
the team representing the Lucan Legion won. It was noted that the main reason was that the Lucan
team weighed 1,018pounds and the Exeter crew totalled only 1,016. From the left beside McKnight
are Robert Argyle, Shawn Willert, Ted Hyde and Jay Davison. Seated left: Glen Quinn, Todd Page,

Cadets get praise
In his law enforcement capacity,
OPP Sgt. Don McInnes said he often
sees the small percentage of the
negative aspect of the area, and
quickly noted it was a pleasure to see ,
the other aspect by being the review-
ing officer for Thursday's Huron and
Middlesex Cadet Corps inspection.
He explanted that to see the
discipline, action and work reflected
in the program "speaks highly" of the
cadets and their leaders.
"Too often we see children lacking
discipline and the respect these peo—
ple haves" he continued in urging the
members .to continue their efforts.
McInnes also told the -parents on hand
at the inspection they should urge the
youths to continue.
"Marching and precision drills
don't happen over night," he con-
tinued, saying he was very proud to
have the cadets in the area for which
he is responsible as head of the Ex-
eter OPP detachment.
Sgt. Don Brearley of the area cadet
office in London also spoke briefly
and noted he had heard nothing but
good comments on the annual
inspection.
"You ' haven't slackened off
anything," he told the local members
and their leaders and he said special
tribute to the assistance given by
parents.
Captain Greg Pfaff expressed
sincere appreciation to the Legions in
Exeter and Lucan for their "support
financially and morally" and said
without that the corps wouldn't exist.
During the remarks, although brief,
three cadets had to be helped off the
1 i uron Park recreation centre parade
hall and ushered outside for some
fresh air.
Pfaff explained that the uniforms
get hot very quickly.
Second Lieutenant Cathy Pfaff was
commentator during the programa
and her husband noted that she was
not in uniform as usual.
He explained that he had started a
recruiting campaign with no results
and was plepsed to report that he had
taken .some positive action in that
regard.
In 13 years, five months and two
days days he and Cathy will have a
cadet ready for enrolment if the doc-
N4or's estimate in that regard is
correct.
