PAGE FOUR THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE THURSDAY, MAY 8, 1947 - LATEST NEWS OF THE COUNTY TOWN OF WHITBY. Business Office, Miss G. Macpherson; Wm. T. Williams, Editor. Phone 708, All Departments LOCAL ENTR Y ACCEPTED INTO BASEBALL LEAGUE Schedule To Start May 24 In Whitby Sponsors Required At a meeting of the Lakeshore Baseball League held in Port Hope on Tuesday evening, the applica- tion from Whitby for a place in the League's schedule during the com- ing year was accepted and approved by a unanimous vote of the League executive. This announcement was made today by the Whitby Re- creational Director, Gordon Mc- Mahon, who tendered the request to the meeting in company with the oach of the local intermediate ardball team, Jack McCarroll, and another official, Jack McDonald. In addition to accepting Whitby's application the meeting also voted to allow Newcastle to enter the League thereby bringing the mum- ber of teams competing in the league this year to five. Other teams in the League include Peter- porough, Bowmanville and Port Hope. * A new ruling was accepted by the League which allows a maximum of three players to be drawn from any- neighbouring town or city of over 1500 population. This ruling will be a help to the localities this year because it will make it legal to draw on other players hailing from Osh- awa, and Ajax. Following the meeting on Tues- day Coach McCarroll signified his intention of holding the initial practice of the Whitby team next Friday night. Although the league schedule calls for the opening game to be played on May 24, he sald that he believed his team would be ready to take to the field by that date. Mr. McMahon 'said today that in his estimation the Whitby repre- sentatives at the meeting had ex- celled in acquiring home games for three major holidays including Civic Holiday, May 24 and July 1, with all other games for the Whit- by team to take place on Friday nights. : A sustained drive is now in pro- gress by team officials to enlist the aid of local merchants in sponsor- ing the team. It is the intention to have a merchant sponsor a player for a nominal cost and progress is reported as being fairly rapid in this endeavour to date. The following is the schedule of the Lakeshore League for the sea- son, insofar as it effects the Whitby club: May 24--Port Hope at Whitby. May 28--Whitby at Bowmanville. May 31--Whitby at Newcastle. June 6--Bowmanville at Whitby. June 7--Whitby at Port Hope. June 11--Whitby at Peterborough. June 13--Peterborough at Whitby.

BRYANT Domestic, Commercial, Farm and Pole Line Installations Saturday Will Be Boy Scout Apple Day Saturday of this week, May 10, will be the occasion of the annual Boy Scout Apple Day, when the Scouts and Cubs undertake the one big event of the year by which they seek to raise funds for carrying on their activities, THe people of Whitby are therefore requested to be prepared for the house to house canvass the boys plan to make this Saturday.

An enterprising mathematician made this prediction the other day after devlving into a few facts and figures, Preston became a town in 1899, when it had a population over the 2,000 mark. When incorporated as a village in 1852, Preston's popula- tion stood at 1,600 and only increas- ed 200 in the next 32 years. Then business boomed for little Preston and in the last 46 years the census showed an increase of 4,676. If that rate keeps up, the necessary 12,000 population will be reached in 1992--maybe. Lg ° NOW PLAYING Two Shows, 7.00 and 9.00 -- Saturday Matinee, 1.30 Urge Support Of Grenfell Mission Sun. An opportunity for Whitby citi- zens to leam of the work being done by the Dr. Grenfell Mission in the Canadian Labrador will be extended on Sunday evening when Leonard Brockington will deliver an address over a Toronto radio station concerning the mission. The broadcast will be in support of a campaign now in progress to raise funds for the building of a =ew hospital at the missien to replace the original building constructed by Dr. Grenfell nearly forty years ago. A recent article which appeared in the Times-Gazette carried an appeal from Miss Helen Fothering- ham, well known Whitby citizen who has spent several seasons at the mission, urging that local citi- wns take a greater interest in the mission and the worthy work being done there. Miss Fotheringham stated that a series of teas, sales and social events will soon be held in Whitby for the purpose of aug- menting funds already raised for the building of the new hospital.

The much publicized church parade by the band will be held on Sunday eve- ning with the martialling being Siaged at 6:30 p.m. from the D.O.E. The tickets for the concert will go on sale today and it is the hope of Kinsmen officials and band mem- bers'that they will be snapped up by the public. The proceeds of the con- cert will help defray expenses this summer when the band heads for camp, The much-delayed uniforms still have not arrived; however, it is hoped that they will arrive before the church parade on Sunday. All members are curious as to how they will look in the natty purple and gold uniforms. Bandmaster Marchant today urg- ed all members to pay particular attention to practice sessions from now on because there will only be three more practices before the con- cert which is scheduled for May 16.

The meeting, which was under the chairmanship of E. H. Graham, was well attended by local officials all of whom ex- pressed their pleasure at the way the citiens of Whitby are backing the drive. A letter was read to the meeting from the Provincial headquarters of the Campaign in Toronto suggest- ing various methods which should be used in collecting cash donations to the drive. It was decided by the committee that no actual door to door canvass should be made in view of the fact that many of the citizens, who have contributed clothing and food to the campaign might not feel free to contribute money in addition to their other donations. However, it was felt that there will be some persons who, although unable to give donations of food or clothing, would like to make a cash dona- tion to this very worthy cause. Members of the Finance Commit- tee were pleased to hear that two local organizations have already given substantial cash donations to the drive. The organizations are The Women's Auxiliary of the Canadian Legion and the Daugh- ters of England. It was the general feeling that other local organiza- tions should be approached and asked to make a contribution. Chairman Graham said that he expected a substantial sum to be donated and that the money would be used to purchase food and cloth- ing which in turn would be sent to the people of Britain who have suf- fered the disaster of flood so soon after the ordeal of war. Cash donations to the campaign will be accepted by Gordon Bate- man at the Whitby branch of the Canadian Bank of Commerce. Mr. Bateman will issue a temporary re- ceipt which will be replaced later on with a permanent receipt which is required to claim exemption from income tax. The permanent receipt will be sent put from the Provincial headquar in Toronto. It is re- quested tiferefore that contributors leave thelr name and address with Mr. Bateman in order to facilitate the mailing of the receipts. Arrangements have been com- pleted to have names of all con- tributors, whether individuals, or- ganizations or industries, published from time to time in the Times- Gazette. Donations recived by the Fin- ance Committee to date are as fol- lows: Ladies Auxiliary, Canadian Legion Daughters of England Miss Francis Lewis, Ontario Hospital Total to date - BIGGEST IN EMPIRE The largest single. steel plant in the British Commonwealth is in India. ; Cards of Thanks Mrs. Thos.
