4-ORONO WEEKLY TIMES, MAY 23, 1973 LOCALSPORTS PLAYING FOR OSHAWA MIDGETS Both Allan Pears and Keith Powell of Orono have joined with the Oshawa Midgets baseball team and will see action with this club during the season. Both boys have been given their release by the Orono Amateur Athletic Asso- ciation. They played last year with the Port Hope Club. ORONO MIDGETS FOLD EARLY - too few players The Orono Midget baseball Club existed for only a short period this year. During a number of practices the great- est number to attend never reach over six and as a result the Athletic Association has been forced to abandon the idea of fielding a midget team this year. There exists a good number of players for the Tykes, PeeWees and Bantams with some of the age groups having over twenty on their roster. The opening game in Orono will be played on Friday evening when the local Tykes take to the diamond facing a club from Bowmanville.

New displays open at Museum Continued from page 1 boards took full advantage of the winter works programme to have this work done and it should be noted that every room in the library building is now being well used. Rooms are available for films, discussions, lectures and story telling, and for the display of collections and hobbies. Local history is being gathered and now bas a place. We have an excellent library complimented by a museum where one can spend an interesting afternoon. To add to all of this, a beautiful old home has been restored and preserved thus making a landmark in Clarke Township of which we can be proud. The new gallery will make an excellent addition to the museum as it provides a much needed area for revolving exhibits such as the Clocks, Buttons and Burls collection belonging to M. and Mrs. O.K. Osborne of Bowmanville which will be the first exhibit shown in this room. It is hoped that members of the community will take part by keeping this room Available from your Cheery milkman, "Mel Hartwig", or from your local store: Cornish's Red & White Armstrong's I.G.A.

This season as in the 1972 season, we have had many kind and willing volunteers. However, it is most encouraging to have the additional support of the Kendal Women's Institute, spearheaded by Mrs. H. Hendeson and Miss K. Stewart. Mrs. Cheryl Reid, Mrs. W. Estbrook and Mr. J. de Witt have also been invaluable. A complete list of old and new benefactors and supporters of the ruseum will be available at the museum. The community is indebted to all of these people for their kindness.
