Lights, I'm pos- itive, would put us very much on 4 paying basis." Chairman Don Davis voiced full agreement with Mr. Bull's | 'statements. "The floodlights of- fer, the answer to all our troubles, and would give us a new deal in baseball for the town," he main- tained. Mr. Davis informed the meet- ing that application had been made | for re-entry of the Oaks into the Halton County loop, 'which will expand this year and operate as the 8-team Halton Baseball Assn. The club's exper- imental fling in senior Viaduct league competition had failed to live up to financial expectat- ions, helexplained. 4 «We were pushed around, told when and where to play, and had to kick in big percentages of the playoff gates" he declared. "We netted only $156 for ten league playoffs, picked up only $122 more in the T.AB.A. series with West Yorks. Our operating ex- penses. exceeded $5,500 and only the good series with Oshawa and | Brantford Red Sox allowed us to | finish what was otherwise a | highly successful season with a $226 surplus. Morally and com- petitively, senior ball was fine, but financially it was rotten. And its the latter angle we have to think about if we are to continue to have lour town. youngsters playing ball reguarly." Bud Corbett, organizer extra- ordinary of the minor league net- worl, warned the meeting that the lack of playing accommoda- tion "threatens the minor ball structure," and listed more dia- monds as a must for the coming summer. "We had 14 teams last summer, and will probably have more this year," he stated. "We simply have to find more playing space." i . Possibilities of playing at the newly graded Trafalgar park and at thel high school grounds will be investigated, the meeting de- ided. The following were elected as pro tem directors of the assn, pending formation of a chartered assn.: Harry A. Wilson, John F. Isard, J. A. Roberts, Don Davis, R. O. Bull, Lachlan McArthur, Cameron C.

Don Davis, Bud Corbett and Ted Kennedy were Oakville delegates to the meeting. Earlier plans to form an eight- team circuit in intermediate tion were when Preston and Hespeler failed to have representatives on hand. The loop will operate with the same personnel as last season, with the exception of the Hamil- ton Canadian-Japanese squad, which will be replaced by the Oaks. Other clubs will be Acton, Georgetown, Milton, Fergus and 'Waterdown. © Considerable discussion deal- ing with constitutional changes occupied a greater part of the méeting. Schedules will be drawn up at a later meeting, when the makeup of juvenile and bantam groups will also be settled. HIGH SCHOOL HIGHLIGHTS By Myke Dyer Overheard in the cloak-room during the At-Home dance last Friday night: "What do you dance, Ed?" "Say this is terrific. That or- chestra is marvelous. Wasn't it sent out through Simpson's in Toronto? "Yes, it was. Benny Louis is one of Canada's leading band- leaders. Those decorations are original, aren't they. That bright border of shamrocks is very ef- fective." think of the "I understand that Al Yarnell and Glen Letheren were in charge of the decorating. I wonder if Davis found my coat yet--no that's not it." "They certainly have good ways of serving the food, haven't they? With those tables there's no lin- ing up for the food." "It's good to see these grads here for the dance. From what Ive heard, they really like the new school." "Say Ed, they made a good choice for the Queen of OTHS, didn't they? What was her name?" 'Beth Craddock, and she was the Iucky one to win those lovely roses and travelling kit." "Hey, Dave, where in heck is my coat? No that's not it, mine didn't have fur! Oh well, Tl come back in the morning and get what's left! See you around Ed!" Judging from this conversation you should be able to tell that the At-Home last week was a terrific success. All the people that were con- cerned with the success of the dance would fill three columns and so we must say, thanks and a hatful of congratulations to all those who did anything for the dance. The Red House has its assemb- ly to-morrow and judging from the practicing going on it should be good! Here we are just two days past the first of Spring and what do we run smack into in seven days? That's it, Easter exams, in ex- actly seven days you will be pro- secuted with the curse of the student, exams. "Through the haze of spring joy I can see the typesetter sig- nalling madly.

Mr. Davis will con- tinue to handle the business sup- ervision of the Oaks it was stat- ed, but other directors will re- lieve him of the arduous financial responsibilities he previously car- vied.

Condition Improves (Continued from Page 1) from the Lions Club benefit on Sunday night, when the North Toronto Lions Club Minstrel show will entertain a packed house at the Century theatre.

Other benefits are yet to be held in this community project to assist the popular son of Oakville's Mayor.
