'During the summer o11971, the Youth and Recreation Branch of the Department of Education, in co-operation with the Ontario Command of the Royal Canadian Legion, began a track and field program aimed at athletes aged 10 to 15. With some revisions, this program is now going into opera- tion in the counties of Huron and Perth under the direction of co- ordinator Bob Knuckey, a physi- cal education graduate from To- ronto. The province has been divided into eight areas and two regional co-ordinators have been sta- tioned in each area. Mr. Knuckey, who has competed in track for nine years, will be or- ganizing events in the Huron - Perth region. His job will be to organiie track and field clubs where none have existed before. Mr. Knuckey is prepared to stay the complete summer in one community if this is deemed necessary. A program of inter -community meet's will be conducted, so that newly -formed clubs and existing clubs will not have to travel great distances for competition. A team of athletic testing personnel will visit both the established and newly -formed clubs to test ath- letes so that potential athletic talent may be brought to the attention of the local coaches. As in 1971, a track and field camp for promising bantam )00 midget athletes will be, ,+.tit:• ucted in mid-August: The pre - gram also has three 16 m.ma training films that can be ob' tained through the regional cd�! dinator,two of the 196$ D y0pl and the other of the 1971, t#1) pean championships.

That�consists. of Elie adults elected or appointed .an nually or appointed annually by members and -or sponsors,: OM, cials of this body are chairntati, vice chairman, secretary -treas- urer, lady member or past chair- man. A sub -committee, he saidp will be established to cover finances, training, coaching, transportation, publicity and. public relations. "The area of the new pro gram," Mr. Knuckey said, "will have Goderich as the central point, bordered by the towns of Kincardine in the north, Listowel and Mitchell in the east and Exeter in the south." For those interested, the or- ganization will be holding its sec- ond meeting on Wednesday, June 7, at the Goderich Legion Hall, beginning at 7:30 ..m. Everyone is welcome to attend. Athletes who are interested in the forma- tion of a track club are also in- vited to attend.

Baseball club wins. 9-6 in first outing Wingham Intermediate Base- ball Club opened"the season with a 9-6 win over Arva last weekend on the ,Tatter's diamond, but it took two extra innings. Wingham scored two runs in the first, Arva coming back to cross the pla=te four times in their first turn at bat. Wingham tied the score at "4-4 in the fifth, then went ahead 5-4 in the eighth. Arva wouldn't stay down and tied the score in the.bottom half of the ninth inning. At the start of extra play, Wingham scored one run, only to have the home team tie the count again. Gord Cerson finally put the game out of reach of Arva when he hit a three -run homer in the 11th inning. Wayne Brown, who pitchedthe entire game, showed plenty of strength to set Arva bat- ters down in succession and pre- serve the three -run edge for Wingham. Brown had nine strike outs and issued only four free bases. The next game will be played at Wingham this Sunday, Walkerton providing the opposition. The umpire's "play ball" call will be at 2 p.m. • Newspaper readership is'heavy regardless of education level, -a research study by Audits & Sur- veys has established.

The • 43 -year-old star of tele- vision's "Bonanza" (he played son Hoss) -died last week in a Hollywood hospital. It was tele- vision that made him great; he never made a memorable movie. But everyone in the film capital admired him. Blocker . lived quietly, was a devoted husband and father and there was never a 'hint of scandal about him which is rare in Hollywood. His family has lived in Switzerland for about a year; he moved them there, partly because he loved the Coun- try when he first vacationed there and partly because he resented paying taxes to.a coun- try that engaged in warfare. 'Bo- nanza', if it is going another sea- son (there was some talk of it be- ing cancelled), will now be start- ing work on the new series and scripts will have to be rewritten, excluding. the loveable big brother.
