Starting off with a dful of boys who wfihed to play the diamond pastime, the ’membcrlhif has now grown to elose to the forty mark with every indication that there will be enough boys ready for next year to form a four team town league. hTe boys who are now playing are of the ages 13 to 16 with one team of these boys entered as a midget team in the Ontario Baseâ€" ball Association. At the present time, the team is playing exhibition games with Toronto teams and the last week in August their playoffs will start. The games are played every Thursday at Gibson Park and g:nctices are held everé/ Wednesâ€" y at the Recreation Centre. Stan Chappell, as supervisor of the team, has made a wonderful contribution ‘with his great â€" enâ€" thusiasm and interest in the boys‘ welfare. He has procured 26 sponâ€" sors from the Weston Businessmen and the bo?rs are completely attired in baseball uniforms, caps, and socks. They ‘are a credit to: the Jack Allan, Mt. Dennis Softball League, Dr. H. C. Roos, Simpson‘s Drug Store, Marcia Mac, Robert‘s Smart Shop, Saalman the Jeweller, Clark‘s Hardware, Weston Bowling Lanes, Felker Bros., Briggs Pharâ€" macy, Richardson Furniture, Inch‘s Drug Store, Fraser‘s Men‘s Wear, Little‘s Garage, Cruichshank Garâ€" age, Weston Modern Appliances, Pollard Electric, Levy Auto Parts, Universal Door, Barter‘s Garage, Harold Brookbanks, Pollock Shoes, Armstrong Door. Mr. Gibson of Facelle has kindly donated a catcher‘s mitt and the use of the park. Mr. Glyde Desmond, as well as offering his services as umpire has donated 20 gallons of gas and a sum of money. On Thursday, August 12th, the midgets will hold a big baseball night at Gibson Park with valuable gate prizes being offered as folâ€" lows: Kodak camera, donated by Dr. H. M. LeGard; ist baseman‘s mitt by Mr, L. J. Schoonmaker of the Kodak Co.; record cabinet and table lamf by Mr. J. Petrie of the Weston Music Store; a lady‘s purse by Mr. Weisdorf of the Weston Ladies‘ Shoppe. S&ecial mention can also be made of Clare Coleman for his great inâ€" terest in ordering and procuring the uniforms. With such cooperation and interâ€" est, the game of baseball cannot help but flourish and Weston is indeed fortunate to have these men working for their young boys. The boys are certainly l{;precintive of this interest and thair nlaw ahaure town and to their sgonnon, and their hustle and good allâ€"round play has been received with great enâ€" thusiasm by the baseball fans of Weston and vicinity, Two excellent coaches have been procured who have been working with the boys all year and the boys hustle at all times. There is no wasting of time during the pracâ€" tices and games and the coaches George Maxwell and Bill Slinger make sure that the boys use every minute of their ‘practice time to good advantage and that they éalay the game as it should be played. Joe Cribar, a > verr efficient manager, looks after all. the needs of the team and sees that everyâ€" thing is in readiness for practices and games. He has done an exâ€" ceptionally good piece of work with the team. P oo e e td this interest and their play shows it, Weston has a baseball team to be proud of and in a short time the town of Weston will be producing great little baseball teams. George Maxwell was an outâ€" standing player in the senior leagues in Toronto and was conâ€" sidered Toronto‘s finest first baseâ€" man. Biil Slinger needs no introâ€" duction to the baseball fans around Toronto as he was an outstanding Eitcher with Kodaks. Both men ave the respect of the players and they are imparting their baseball knowledge to the young players and the improved play of the boys is a fine testimony to their teacfx- ings. The team has played three games up to the present writing, and have won one, tied one and lost one. | The first game was opened by Mayor Tom Dougherty, Jack Allan andy Bruce Pollard, president of the Weston Businessmen. Glyde Desâ€" mond and Bill Beardall have handled the most of the umpiring chores. Bantam 8t,â€" Vincents...

Reacting to greatly increased wartime demand, Canadian proâ€" duction of vegetable and root seeds expanded rapidly during the war years â€"and the peak was reached in 1944 and 1945, say officials of the Dominion Departâ€" ment of Agiculture. Since that time there has been a gradual easing in production of most kinds of seed and in 1947 all kinds showâ€" ed a drop from 1946, except garden and canninfg varieties of peas. Prouction of such seeds as garden beans, cabbage, carrot, sweet corn lettuce, onion and radish declined considerably in 1947 from the preceding year.
