A cement siding a few inches high around the stack, holds i the seepage and diverts it into tanks where ti is treated and de-odorized. So far there have been no com- plaints.

Ruddy Whitby Juniors Lace Oshawa Behind 2-Hit Tossing Of By MARK HARRISON Sparked by the two-hit pitching of Gord Neil, Whitby Rotary Ju- niors garnered ten hits to defeat Oshawa Hunt Club 4-0 last night. In chalking up his first victory of the season, the lanky hurler, who had gone winless in three previous starts pitched masterful = ball - to handcuff the visitors with twelve strike-outs. He faced only 32 men in the nine innings of play, allow- ing three walks. The local club broke into the scoring column inthe first inning when Bernie Turansky walked, stole second and moved to third and then home on successive infield outs, Lo- reno grounding out to short and) McGregor going down second to first. A second Whitby run crossed the plate in the third when Jimmie Loreno boomed a long triple to left- centre field after Turansky had struck out, and was driven in by MacDonald's single to right. A four-hit splurge in the last of the eighth accounted for the other Whitby runs. Don McGregor singled to open the last half of the inning, moving to third on a sharp single to right field by MacDonald. An infield grounder by Yuill found Mc- Gregor trapped between third and home where he was tagged by catcher Stovin. A single by Mec- | Closkey sent MacDonald to second | while Yuill was nipped sliding into | Gord Neil third. Then Ross Lowe smacked a three-bagger to drive in two runs. O'Reilly popped to third to end the scoring. A single by Bird in the second in- ning and another by [Ted Barnes in the top half of the ninth were the only hits mustered by the Oshawa club. Don Gavas, on the mound for the visitors, was nicked for ten hits He struck out eight and walked four. Practically flawless ball was play- ed by both teams.

OSHAWA WHITBY Thomp- rf; 2b; Boy Scout Auxiliary Gets Thanks For Overseas Gifts Part of the work of the Boy Scout and Cub. Mother's Auxiliary in Whitby has -been the sending of food parcels to England. This work has been carried on with good ef- fect for much more than a year now, The appreciation with which the work of the local auxiliary has been met can be known from a typical letter of thanks which follows. This letter is of special interest since it is. written by a nephew of Frank Wells, Brock Street South. It is ad- dressed to Mrs. Harold Rowley who was president of the auxiliary and largely instrumental in starting this work. Dear Mrs. Rowley: I am writing to you on behalf of all at home to thank you and all vour friends who have made it pos- sible for us to receive our second gift parcel. At the best of times I am not a very good writer and you will agree that to express one's gratitude accomplishment, However I can assure you that we appreciate greatly your very kind gesture. I imagine now that the weather in Canada is nice. How I used to look forward to the time when the frost came out of the ground and I could get out into the garden there. Maybe one day, not too far distant, I will be able to be wishing the very same thing. The weather in England this 'Spring has been lovely. The water on the Thames was warm enough to swim in in April. But this warm weather also has its disadvantages. The kitchen in which I work is like a hothouse. But I can't complain because I could be a lot worse off. I must close now as I am due to start work pretty soon. Thank you again. Yours sincerely, Peter Wells. All-Star and feelings on paper is a difficult | Team Being way to be labelled and stored.

It was four-hit ball on both sides with Roy Armstrong and Hodgson going fine on the mounds, but a Petes' error sent in the winning marker. Marshall bashed out two doubles with Murphy and Billingsley having one hit each, the latter's pinch- single in the seventh resulting in the tying run up to that point. Fitzgerald featured in the field with a honey of a running grab in deep right.
