The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville. July 18, 1979 9 Face-Lift For Soper Creek Diamond ...-.~-. Close to $10,000 worth of renovations to the bal diamond at Soper Creek Park should give Bowmanville one of the most up-to-date bal parks in the Eastern Ontario Basebail Association (EOBA) circuit. This week, workmen were putting the finishing touches on a 30-foot backstop at the 'bal Park. In addition, a section of high fence bas been added at the northeast corner of the diamond ini order to make it a little more difficuit for luggern to hit a bail into Soper Creek for a guaranteed home rua. 'In addition, the renovated bal Park contains a pir of dugouts -and two toilets. s Counillor Maurice Prout described ail of the reno- vations at the park as "badly needed". He added that they have not cost the taxpayers any money because funds, were taken from the interest earned on a parkland reserve fund . Furthermore, the whole job was completed for less than the $12,500 cost whîch was originaiiy expected. The surplus will be returned to the park accouat. 1George Brooks, past president of the Bowmanville Basebali Association describes the improvements at the Soper Creek diamond in very favorable terms. He said the renovatioîvs bring the Bowmanviiie bail diamond up to the standards of the finest EOBA bail parks. "This is the first major renovation we have had," he said. Mr. Brooks added that the Bowmanville Baseball Association realiy appreciates the improvements and added that the group was pleased to see councilior Prout "go to bat for them" in order to get the repairs approved. The Soper Creek Park is home of the Bowmanville Merchants Senior team as well as the juveniies and bantams. Repairs for the park were approved in this year's Town of Newcastle budget.

Few newly independent nations have faced as many far-reaching probiems as Mozambique. At the time of independence in 1975, 90 per cent of Mozambicans were illiterate. The FRELIMO government soon realized that the educa- tion of the entire populace had to become one of its main priorities if Mozambique was to overcome the critical shortage of trained personnel in ail sectors of the economy. On July 3, 1978 a National Literacy Campaign was launched with the goal of making literate 100,000 people and training 3,500 iiteracy teachers by June 30, 1979. This target was reached ahead of schedule with the help of $84,538 worth of teaching equipment and materiais and three transport vehicles provided by Oxfam and other Canadian non-government organizations (NGO's). Here in Canada, we will soon be ceiebrating the one hundred and twelfth anniversary of Confederation. Most Canadians take for granted their ability to read and write. Yet for Mozam- bique, after only four years of independence, universal literacy remains an important goal to be attaîned. The people of Mozambique have the energy and determination to pursue that goal, but our support is needed too!
