REE 3 ow Yeas Whitby Day By Day news items of local interest of are PHONE 703 any and Whitby Baseball Association held its second meeting of the year last night to lay plans for the coming season, Considering the time of year plans are already well ad- vanced, even to the priniing of the programs and score sheets. "We are considering going back to our original 'B' grouping," said President Bill Hurley. "Last year, because we drew in some Oshawa players, it was necessary to be in the 'A' category but the picture is now different. We have some ju- veniles sufficiently advanced to use in league play." "The meeting endorsed the "B" grouping. Also under the wing of the as- sociation, the Minor League will operate much along the same lines as last year when it had outstanding success in training scores of boys in the fundamentals of good base- there will be "baseball for all, in 1951." . The Pee-Wees, Bantams, Midgets will play and be coached much the same as in 1950 with the exception that byes may be Ob- tained into the playdowns, This system, it is felt, would give the boys more incentive throughout the summer, knowing that they may be picked as a member of an all-star team to play other Ontario teams later. Training Pays Off As to Juveniles: there was a good Juvenile team last year but because some may be absorbed .into the Intermediate team, e is a pos- sibility that a Junior tgam may be formed. These are sroned out in the r future, Representatives from Whitby will go to Port Hope on Thursday night for the annual meeting of the Lakeshore League. Whitby will put forth a number of suggestions at that time and move certain ap- pointments and make recommenda- sions. One proposal is that a nine- inning game be made standard while giving the umpire authority to curtail it when darkness or other conditions warrant it. Local exec utive felt that when fast games are played that is the wisest course all round and will also give the fan a better deal for his admission fee, Rotate Meeting It will be suggested that the ane nual meeting should be rotated among the member towns rather than holding it in Port Hope each year, During its two-hour meeting last night, held in Gordon McMahon's office ,a great deal of business was discussed indicating that Whitby has a very vigorous ball club which will promote baseball for all ages and for both players and spectators in the coming season. Rumor Is Chain Store Not Ready To Build Now No immediate plans for building a retail store on the former Lawson property at the corner of Dundas and Green Streets, are being con- sidered, it is learned. This property was sold last year to a person con- nected with an expanding Toronto grocery chain firm. It is now be- lieved that shortage of essential building materials. is the reason for delay in development. Negotiations for rental of the large house on the property, as living quarters, have been in progress. The population of Nova B8cotia stood at 387,800 in 1871, in the first census after confederation.

Missionaries Released By Communists Friends of Dr. and Mrs. Robert McClure, well known in Whitby and district, were glad to learn last week that they have been released by Chinese Communists. The news was contained in a Canadian Press despatch = which read: "After several weeks of deten- tion by Chinese Communists, Dr. and Mrs. McClure of Toronto, United Church of Canada mission- aries, have been released. "United Church headquarters here has received word that the missionaries, detained in Kong- moon, South China, have arrived safely in Hong Kong.

(Mar27) 7 pa / Build'ng Kites Hobby of Dundas Pupils Seventh and eighth grade pupils of Dundas Street School often engage in stimulating and useful hobby projects which form a part of their education, But one of the more pleasurable craft projects introduced by Principal Miss Florence Heard recently was kite building. Most of the boys and some of the girls made models --all brilliantly and originally decorated. On a wind-swept hill south of the school, they had a kite flying contest last week. Shown here is Herb Edwards with his "Stars and Planets" model; Ross Sawdon with his "Diamond-backed fish" and Jim Broughton with a kite bearing a humorous original design. Box Kite Is A High Flyer Highest flying of all the kites made by stud ts at D Street School is this box-model by Earl Worthington, It flies easily at 1,000 feet. One night he sent it up with two flashlights attached and attracted con- siderable atention.

Plans were made for Annual Easter Thank offering Servic to be held on Sunday April 8th, Mountie Spoke Last Tuesday the High School and Public School pupils of Brook- lin were favored by a visit from Corporal - Holman of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, who is stationed in Toronto. He came at the invitation of John Kaine, principal ,of the High School tog give the Students and idea of what' the police force really means to Canada and what the duties of the police force are. Corporal "Holman brought with him the film "Scarlet and Gold" which depicts the different jobs have to take and many other in- teresting features, He told the pupils he wished to speak on three topics; 1st, Canada, 2nd Cana- dians, and 3rd, Policemen. He wondered how many realized just how big Canada was. To show the broad expanse of country he told how a person .travelling continu- ally by train took a week to go from coast to coast and for the vast distances in the northland he stated that to travel from the Yukon to Edmonton one would have to use boat, dog team and train and the trip would take at least three weeks, , As for Canadians, we want onl pedbple who are interested in apd working for the good of our coulg try. And with all loyal to the in- terests of this country it makes no with. To make good Canadians the Church is very necessary and the denomination of the Church mat- ters not as long as some Church is attended and the doctrines fol- lowed. Corp. Holman then 'spoke of the necessity of a good educa- tion. All recruits for the police force have a very strict code to follow and the better their educa- tion the easier it is for them, He told how very important school studies "were and how they would be of no bencfit to the pupil if pronlems day by day and so learn how in later lite tO wuls OUL wie. difficulties as they meet them. He stated that if you found a person in school always taking short cuts no matter what the game ot ques- tion you would find in after years a man or woman with the same tendencies, He told the children that a policeman's job could be coinpared to that of a referee on any game on the sports field, in tac, he told how police have less authority than a referee as he cai ui.y advise and help but all decisions in any dispute are left 0 a Juuge. When the class was asked if they were poor sports they thought it an odd quesuon til ne expidiucd that it is the sign of a poor sport to leave your room or desk untidy.

At the conclusion of the talk, the pupils were invited to ask any questions they wished and the teachers felt it was a most benefi- cial and instructive talk. Mr. Kaine was fortunate in be- ing able to borrow a record. machine and has.been doing sont recording of the reading and sing- ing of the students with beneficial results. Home and School . The regular montaly meeting of the Brooklin Home and School Club was held at the School last Tuesday evening with a good at- tendance of members and four guests from Kinsalee Home and School Club 'Mrs, Ray Hall, pie- sided. Mrs. Grey's room again won the H. and S. Shield for parent attendance at the meeting. Plans were made to have cos- tumes made for the Music Festival to be held next month and at the conclusion of the meeting Mrs. Roger introduced Miss Spratt, school music supervisor as guest speaker who had as her topic "Music Appreciation", There are many different phases in school music and Miss Spratt thinks the main idea is to have the children sing. At home they should be encouraged to sing along with the radio or record player as well as ab school for if their singing is only encouraged when the music supervisor is there it would be very inadequate as she only spends half an hour a week with each class. Music should speak for itself with the teacher helping rather than directing. Next Miss Spratt told that in the school music there were 15 different activities and after giving each heading she explained fully the meaning of each term. There were: 1--Music, 2--Free expression, 3--Imitative clay, 4--Mootd, 5-- Story and dramatization, 6--Melody patterns, 7--Rythm patterns, 8-- Rythm band instruments, 9--Form (discovering phrases), 10 -- Associa= tions, 11--Instruments of orchestra, 12--Harmony, 13--Music and poe- try, 14--Music and pictures and 15--Quiet listening. Has Best Book At this time Miss Spratt told how she had offered a prize to any student turning in the best music book for the year and this was won by Evelyn Gibson, of Brooklin, and her bopk with all the songs segregated and illustrat- ed was displayed and the work- manship appreciated by all parents who saw the book. Miss Spratt suggested that the Home and School Club 'would be helping the music appreciation of the school if they would make it one of their projects to gradually put albums of records in the school for the benefit of the teachers. She had brought several record albums with her to examplify the music used by the different grades. Mrs, W. W. Baldwin thanked Miss Spratt for her wonderful talk and also told Evelyn Gibson, who was present, how proud the mem- bers of the Home and School were to have her win the prize and to have such an attractive book the result of her effort. The Penny sale was next on the agenda and proved most interesting and nearly $6 was raised in this manner, Mrs. J. Newport of Kinsale ex- pressed the thanks of the members | of the Kinsale Home and School Club for an enjoyable evening, A lunch 'was served by the | committee and a social half hour spent.

The convener of the nominat- ing committee is Mrs, Cyril Heard. The meeting was turned over to the fathers with Mr. H. Law acting as chairman. An interesting and humorous item on the program was the debate entitled "witty Paddy makes a better husband than Saving Sandy," with Earl Fairman and Lloyd Gibson defending Witty Pat-. ty and Fred Ing and Harry Jermyn defending Saving Sandy. It was humorous from beginning to end, and the speakers had ..e audience in an uproar at times. The Judges were Miss Florence Heard, Mrs. D. Wilson ard Mrs. D. Tutt. After lis- tening to the many good and 'bad qualities of Patty and Sandy they found it hard to reach a decision, and when the verdict was announc- ed by Miss Heard it was a tie. While the Judges were out, J. R. Frost sang two appropriate selec- tions "Galway Bay" and "The Road to the Isles." He was accompanied at the piano by his daughter Mar- garet. A very interesting and instructive address on "The Recent Trends in Education," by A. A. Archibald con- cluded the program. Mrs. L.
