georgetown this sum mer that is the question most sport fans are asking these days some say we have lots of material rfor a team if the boys will only get wwn to business while others amy the old players are out or step and new talent is needed nevertheless georgetown should have a basebal team this summer with milton ac ton oakvllle and brampton in the league surely a town of this size a town that has nearly always si parted a team wutmot fade out the picture this season mr sport fan and mr flayer you will have the chance to decide this question on friday night when a meeting is be ing called to organise for the 1988 season everyone should be interest ed in this matter as george would be a pretty dull spot in hal- ton county on a saturday afternoon without a baseball team here those who are endeavoring to get some de cision on this question are asking you to be out to the meeting which will be hefil in the lounge room of the mcoftpbon hotel friday night at oclock did you know t did you know that the first base- ban pitcher to throw a curve was william dee in amateur of chester nj who discovered by accident that ira thing could be done accord ing to a writer jn the washington star- he was practicing with a ball that had a torn cover and noticed that if he held it in a certain way a surprising curve resulted atfjhat time no batter had ever seen a curve and when dee got himself in a hole with the batter he could invariably fool him with the strange balls be fore his secret was discovered he us ed to slip a paring knife from his pocket and slit the seam when he needed a good curve on these oc casions the catcher would have to lob the ball back to him to prevent its curving and to avoid a line throw to second base for the same reason although dee was a successful pitcher for twenty years in amateur baseball he was never in any of the big lea gues boat racing in 1939 capt g e t eyston of england who holds the speed record of the world on land at 313 miles per hour win make a bid for the harmsworth trophy emblematic of the water re cord in 1s probably on the detroit river the plucky english driver has not yet announced anything about his boat but it is a foregone conclusion that it wlh be the best money can produce gar woods american who holds the trophy will in all probably defend it as he has done on several occasions woods has proven himself gerat driver and as he is a boat builder he wul likely produce a brand new craft to compete against eyston mrs earl wilson elected to dominion board of wms cedar crest golf club the annual meeting of the

that george town sponsor a junior or juvenile la crosse team this summer milton orangevfne and brampton have ready organised and it would be a decided boon to the town to have a team here games could be playea in the arena and would no doubt be a source of revenue for the arena board there are plenty of players and most of the boys have sticks and other equipment and a team could be sponsored with little expense it is no douht interest could again be revived for the national sport in georgetown and all that seems to be needed is someone willing to start the ball rolling murray ezearit has turned professional we learned on good authority last week end that murray eseard for merly of the milton and acton hockey teams and this winter playing with toronto stockyards has turned pro

timate on the proposed addition to the high school a motion was passed jjlacjna the boards requisition to the corpsratton of georgetown at 9000 the new law governing high school mainten ance requires that assessment b made direct to the town and not in part to the county as formerly is to be understood however that no additional share of the upkeep of the high school is incurred by the town under

loitering about our main street the best way to avoid compulsory curfew is for parents to see to it that their children are home and under supervision after dark if a commun ity is to maintain a high moral stan dard these girls must not be permit ted to loiter on the streets at night watching every auto that passes by however it is more a matter for par ental supervision than for municipal action

liament are silent in a week how ever the mills win be grinding again there hasbeen a tendency for a number of papers to cavil at the smau amount of finished flour that has yet been ground by the legislative null this does not mean however that there la little in process of manu facture a good deal of legislation on a wide variety of subjects win be placed on the- statute books before the session comes to an end this parliament will however probably be judged by its restraint as well as by its achievements in the form of ac tual legislation let us glance an instant at the economic and political conditions which form the background to the parliaments operations there has been a recession in business from the high water marks in september and october of last year the slack ening of business has been much less pronounced than the slump in the united states this has been the subject of comment in united state papers the moral drawn being that canada is suffering- less than her great neighbor because canada has avoided pump priming and other co lossal economic experiments after the reopening of parliament the mini ster of labor will announce the speci fic measures whlchvtne government will adopt in its campaign against unemployment we have been told that these measures will aim at the encouragement and assistance of in dustrial activities and the develop ment and conservation of our natur- uroes while business in can ada on account of the effect in this country of conditions in the united states win watch with anxiety the efforts of the washington government to solve its difficulties in railway and other fields we have at least been spared the bitterness of the drastic recession that has fallen to the lot of- industry in the united states if we have a good crop in the west and moisture conditions at seeding time are certainly favorable canadian business will be greatly helped in foreign politics the threatening situation in europe which fortunate ly just now is temporarily at least less menacing has given this coun try a defence policy which is being carried out with less opposition this year than last of course there will likely be a lively discussion when de fence estimates come up after recce an important feature of the domestic political background is the persistent need of the creation of a national spirit which parliament is patiently seeking to foster this is going to be a long process the allaying of sec tionalism but no one can doubt that the object is thoroughly worthwhile it is confidently expected that the work of the roweq commission on dominion provincial relations by showing how governmental responsi bilities and taxation powers may be equitably divided may help to remove grounds of differences between the provinces and the dominion in the meantime the unemptoymena insurance amendment seems likely to remain in abeyance new bruns- wlcks answer to the dominion query that the government of that province would prefer not to agree until the rowell commission brings in its re port on the general division of pow ers puts another spoke in the wheel or an early unemployment insurance a high light of the balance of the session will be the trade pact with the united states now under negoti ation at washington making a trade treaty with the united states wedded for so long to a policy of high tariffs is not childs play one may easily imagine the flood of warnings of dire disaster from all parts of the country that must have been pouring into washington but the pact on which high hopes are built will come in due course whether it can come in time to have its tariff changes in corporated in the budget la mora of a question there have been rumors that the angloamerican past wul be completed before our treaty with the united states a feature of the postrecess ses sion will be the budget of mr dunn ing when it wffi be introduced is not certain that may djepend on when the trade pact with the united states is signed the provisions of the budget are of course most care- fully guarded some questions being asked are will there be reductions on farm implement tariffs asked by wes tern members and will there be any reduction to sales and excise taxes so ably advocated by r j deachman of huron county with business not holding the 1937 levels thus far at least there seems little likelihood of any important cut in taxes the electoral reform bills curtail ing and giving publicity to election contributions and expenses and deal ing with methods of electing members to parliament the transport
