Second section Wednesday, August 18, 1976 Surrounded by admiring fans Hockey superstar Bobby Orr signs autographs under the lights which the donation of his valuable time helped pay for. The game was held on a field which had been a soggy mess earlier in the day but which was put in top shape for the game thanks to the efforts of James Dupuis and Marcel Duval ane Bobby Orr - Mike Walton squad goes down to defeat MARSHALL REAL ESTATE LIMITED REALTI "A REAL ESTATE BROKER FOR 70. YEARS" H 265 KING ST. MIDLAND 526-2293 Lights are switched on last Thursday 4 The Georgian Bay All- Stars defeated a team from the Bobby Orr - Mike Walton Sports Camp by a score of 7-6 last Thursday evening, in a game which brought the McGuire Park Light Fund $525 closer to its objective of $7,800. The amount now remaining to be collected is about $600. Part way through the game, the lights were turned on for the first time by Frances St. Amant, standing behind home plate. Speeches were delivered by Ron Marchildon, Ron Bellisle and Mayor Vince Moreau before the lights came alive in a blaze of glory. After a period of about five minutes of warming up the lights bathed the diamond with light which was strong enough to read by anywhere on the field. The game featured good play from both sides, but the All-Stars, in danger of swamping the Bobby Orr team in the early i innings, eased off in the latter innings to allow them to make the score respectable. In the last inning, Penetanguishene "short- stop" Vince Moreau, who was actually acting as third base umpire throughout most of the gone: went out on a pop y. The children who at- tended the game were not disappointed by the loss of their hockey super- stars, though, as they Swamped Orr both before and after the game demanding autographs. The cruise held Saturday evening on the David Richard to raise money for the fund was somewhat disappointing for the organizers. St. Amant blamed _ bad weather for the poor turn- out but said those who attended had a good, if wet, time. The cruise, which raised about $120 to $125, and the Bobby Orr game, as well as a few private donations, have left the fund at about $7,200. St. Amant said she was hoping the cruise could be the last in the series of special events she has organized for the fund, but said if more private donations were not for- thecoming she would have to organize something else, probably another dance. Rick Lemieux has already offered to provide the music for such a dance should it be necessary. St. Amant said there was still about $300 owed on the dance-a-thon, and if the children who have the money bring it in , the chore of raising the rest of the money will be easier. She said she was very grateful to the men from the sports camp who donated their time for Thursday evening's game and did not demand a cut of the profits.

I'm sure everyone was as impressed as I was with the installation and operations of the lights. At present we are still a couple of hundred dollars short to reach our objective. I would like to urge the parents whose children have still not turned in their dance-a-thon money to have them do so. I hope that this project is only the beginning in a long line of facilities which this Town desperately needs. The people of Penetanguishene have proved that the com- munity will support a project of this kind and I hope will continue to do so in the future. We are getting into the playoffs in the men's as well as the ladies softball leagues. You can drop down to McGuire Park almost any night and see some really good games being played. I assume that our community school program will be ready to operate some time in early September. Please keep watching for the ad and please register when you are supposed to.

Letter to the editor On behalf of the Penetanguishene Expos Ball Club, I would like to thank the Penetanguishene Arena, Parks and Recreation for the job they did in preparing the ball diamond for our exhibition series with a team from Kitchener.
