The telegrain which wiIl reach Sinden and his team in Russia bears the enthusiasm and encaur- ~sa ove Wiothý agement of the D)eoDile of Wit-by who rernem- ber with relish the days of the weil-loved Whitby Dunnies. As far as the club knows, the official tele- gram is the first of its kind sent on behaîf of the town. Neil Murkar, Secre- tary of thie Whitby Min- or Basebail Association, has written town court- cil alerting it of the dan- gers to Whitby residents caused by inadequate screening at two town basebail facilities. Mr. Murkar explained that there has been con- Isiderable praperty dam- age at the E.A. Fairman Sehool consisting of broken windows and porch Iights. A person on adjaining property to the park, he said, suffered personal injury when struck by a base- bail, and inconvenience is being faced by resi- dents on I-lllcrest Drive.
