2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesday, June 28, 1960 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN LITTLE LEAGUE 7 YEARS OLD What's it like to be commissioner of two Oshawa baseball leagues with a total membershigikof 16 teams and more than 300 boys, all from 8 to 13? As commisioner of The © Little League (six teams in the 11-12-13 age group) and The Minor League (8- 9-10) operated by St. Gregory's Council 2671 of the K of C, the 36-year- old, Oshawa-born Powers has a man-sized job, but it doesn't seem to phase him in the least. "Believe it or not, the tough part of this job isn't administration--its getting the parents to take enough interest to turn out and cheer their sons," he said i today. "Much of the hard- WL "Bill" core work is done by such Sane ! men as Alex MacNeal, Howard Woods (two assistants), the 50 men who act as mznagers and coaches, etc., and the 15 umpires," he added. They keep the league functioning beautifully, but we also need the parents help. There's nothing more important for a boy than to see one or both or his parents in the stands--it gives him a tremndous in- eentive that nobody else can give him." The Knights buy all uniforms and equipment. R. "Red" Jubenville and Robert Dionne were pre vious commissioners. Powers likes to recall that the first of the two loops--The Little Leagues--came into being in the summer of 1953 largely} through the efforts of such men as Ken McRae, Albert Love, Jack Bawkes, Juben- ville, Dave Dineen and Very Rev. Dean Paul Dwyer. The league was fortunate in infancy to have the advice and support of Ray Manerell, then a manage- ment training course instructor with GM in Oshawa but since returned to the U.S. Manerell knew more than a little about the ways of professional baseball and Little Big League Baseball through previous associations in the U.S. As a pitcher (a sore arm later forced him to become an infielder) with one of the New York Yankee farm teams, he was a roommate and personal friend for several months of Phil Rizzuto when the "scooter" shortstop was on the way up. Rizzuto was a keen advocate of the Little Big League type of baseball and helped to develope it in several areas. He imparted much of this knowledge, and enthusiasm, to Manerell, who, in turn, passed it along to his Oshawa associates. What is the next step for your two leagues? 'If you're asking what I would like to see person- ally?--I would like to see them amalgamate some day with other Oshawa and district leagues of the same classification, especially with groups of other religious denominations. In that way, this district could even- tually declare a winner and enter a team in the Little Big League World Series. Wouldn't that be wonderful? Of course, it won't happen tomorrow, or the next day, because thege's little baseball of this classification in the 3 of Alexandra Park where we play and it ta a effort and money to get such leagues going ! | Powers THE END OF RACING PIGEONS ? If Alderman John Brady looks sad today there's a good reason: City Council recently upheld the Planning Board and refused to change a zoning bylaw that bars the building of new pigeon lofts. Thus a dark shadow has been east over the city's racing pigeon community, sponsor of this sport for more than 50 years. Long after the last racing pigeon has left Oshawa, Mr. Brady will be remembered for his long and gallant stand in a Council that is overflowing with dog-lovers, but remarkably free of racing pigeon fanciers, Mr. Brady pleaded and promised. He asked Council to reconsider and emulate Windsor which permits racing pigeons under a health department bylaw, but it was of no avail. President Jack Askew of the Oshawa club, who is a sort of local historian for the sport, said he would con- tact the Canadian Racing Pigeon Association for instrue- tion immediately as to which course to follow, but he was pessimistic at best. "I'm afraid several of our new members affected by this bylaw will move from Oshawa because of this-- they love pigeon racing that much." JOAN WALKER WRITES THIRD BOOK Oshawa has an author who is more famous outside the city than in -- Mrs. James R, Walker of 124 Elgin street west who won the Stephen Leacock Medal for Humor in 1954 for her 1953 book, "Pardon My Parka" (McClelland and Stewart). This was an hilarious account of her transition in the early 30's from a Fleet street newspaper columnist to a housewife in the rough, tough mining area of Val d'Or, Quebec. Her first name is Joan. Despite such laurels (and the fact that the book had a sizeable sale in Canada and the U.S.) Mrs. Walker doesn't; consider herself a humorist. She later wrote a non-serious, fiction book, "Repent At Leisure" (Ryerson) and is now at work on a third book, the details of which she keeps secret.

Total enrolment is estimated at about 95,000. Projected on the ba- sis of present growth, conserva- tive predictions are that the fig- ure will have passed. 175,000 in 20 years. But many university officials concede the difficulty of making firm estimates of future enrol- |ment and if the increase in stu- dents proves higher than now ex- pected, universities will find themselves forced to spend more money than they now ean fore- see. SIZE IS PROBLEM While practically every uni- versity is putting up new build- ings or expanding those in exis- tence, an increasing number are showing concern about the pos- sibility of growing too large. A cross - Canada survey by The Canadian Press turned up evidence of this concern in a number of major institutions. Dr. F. Cyril James, principal of McGill, says 'something of the corporate sense of a univer sity is inevitably lost in the pro- cess of expansion." "The tendency in all English | speaking countries to create ad- | ditional universities suggests a | widespread feeling that there is |some limit beyond which growth imposes more losses than gains." UBC HEAD AGREES | "He is echoed by Dr. Norman A, M. MacKenzie, president of {the University of British Colum- | bia, Vancouver "We recognize that there will be a need in due course for some | decentralization of higher educa tion and there may be reasons to | justify the establishment of jun- ior colleges throughout the prov- {ince.
