They will compete in the North Durham Ladies Lobb Ball League playing against teams from Tyrone, Enniskillen, Solina, Burketon and another Hampton team.

He added that team New Recruits Add Strength To Sr. Merchants' Line Up Bowmanville Senior Merchant Baseball Club play their opening game at Soper Creek Park on Sunday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock against defending league leaders Whitby. It is felt by both the coaching staff and players that after reaching their peak in the play-offs last season they are a definitely improved ball club.

Dean Rutherford who played for Oshawa Juniors last season has shown a great deal of poise in the infield. Up from the Juveniles are Kevin Gibson, Ken Cowal, Dean Holmes. They could make things interesting for some of the veterans. Doug Finney has been signed to the coaching staff which will take a lot of pressure off of the shoulders of Mike Cornell who feels he can now devote more of his time to playing. The possible return of Steve Parker is also in the books. Future home games are Tuesday, May 19th against Oshawa at 6:00 p.m. and Sunday, May 24th With Kendal being the visitors.

Wesley ville At 4 o'clock on Saturday afternoon, May 2nd, 1981, a quiet ceremony was solemnized at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. Hambley, Buckingham Ave., Toronto, when Gloria Nichols was united in marriage with Douglas Young, both of Toronto. The bride's dress was of accordian pleated polyester with graceful train; full pleated sleeves ending in long lace cuffs which matched the yoke. She carried a nosegay of pink roses and forget-me-nots. The ceremony was performed by Rev. D. McPhee. The only guests were the parents of the bride, Carroll and June Nichols, Hope Township; and of the groom, Mr. and Mrs. Leo Young, Parry Sound; Rev. and Mrs. McPhee, and friends of the bride and groom, Jim and Lorna Hambley and Diane Hambley. After photographs were taken, Doug and Gloria went directly to Princess Margaret Hospital to see the bride's sister Marilyn and give her a duplicate of the bride's nosegay. Before- leaving for a trip to Niagara- on-the-Lake dinner was enjoyed at the old mill on the Humber, by the party of eleven. On their return from their short trip, Gloria and Doug will live at their home on 2 Romney Rd., Etobicoke. On Wednesday morning, May 6th, a very pleasant gathering was held at Welcome Church when between forty and fifty ladies of the church attended a coffee party to honor Jean Kennedy who will be leaving Welcome at the end of this church year when she and Rev. Kennedy retire. After a social visit, held while enjoying coffee and doughnuts, Mrs. Gwen Best spoke words of appreciation to Mrs. Kennedy for her share in the ministry here,and her ready sharing of all activities, and for the love and friendship given to all since her coming. She was presented with a Wedgewood broach by Mrs. Phyllis Symons on behalf of all. Mrs. Kennedy thanked the ladies and reminded everyone it was a going away party without the usual sadness for she and Rev. Kennedy will be living in Port Hope, so close bonds formed, will not be broken by distance. On Saturday afternoon, May 9th, Gwen and Berniece Best, Elva Austin and Charlene attended the quilt display held at the home of Mrs. John Layng, just west of Starkville. They report a fine showing of all types of quilts and the proceeds of the day were in support of Shiloh Church. This is the time of the warblers and these very active little birds make it difficult to identify them. Eyes have to be quick for they don't pose long for identification. Another strange bird was sighted at the first of the week, flying low over pasture, evidently mouse hunting. Its appearance did not fit any of the well know hawks, its wide wingspread ended in dark or black feather tips and except for that the bird was all a very pale beige. At a distance it seemed white. So many of the familiar birds are back and what a striking appearance they have on the velvety green of a newly mowed lawn, robin's bright red breast, glossy black of the grackle, and the snowy white stripes of the white throat. Cliff swallows have been inspecting old nesting sites and the doves are really early with their housekeeping. Some young are already hatched. By Karl Shaw Spring Opening Most pool owners open their pools mid to late May. There has been a tendency in recent years to open pools a little earlier since the advent of thermal and bubble blankets which allow solar heat to be gathered through the bright sunny days and retained through the frosty late spring nights. The procedures to open a pool are not greatly affected by the type of pool being discussed ; concerete inground, vinfyl lined inground, above ground. If the pool is covered, you must first drain the water from the top of the cover with a sump pump, a siphon hose, or your own filter and vacuum system. It is usually impossible impossible to get every drop of water off the top of the cover and usually about 20 gallons or so is left on the cover. This weighs 200 lbs. If you leave one long side of the cover secured to the deck and use about four people to drag the cover from one side of the pool to the secured side, in other words you are folding it over itself, you can very easily drain the water off the cover as it laps itself onto the deck. Make sure you wash the cover with a mild soap, let drv before you fold it and put it away for the summer. Drain water from water bags, wash and roll up. Talc or com starch will prevent cover and bags from sticking. Remove Remove any winterizing plugs from inlets or skimmer, skimmer, and install return fittings. Replace drain plugs in filter, pump and heater. Replace pressure gauges on filter. Fill pool to normal level if necessary. While pool is filling, you can wash and wax the ladders and diving board. Prime pump and start filter operating. Circulate water for at least eight hours then check PH readings, (should be 7.2 to 7.8) and chlorine readings, (should be 1.0 to 1.5 P.P.M.) Vacuum pool if necessary. It is a good idea to super- chlorinate the pool and add 20 per cent algicide in the first two or three days. Helpful Hints Failure to achieve prime Procedure for Opening Remove water from the pool cover by syphoning or pumping. pumping. Remove the cover, wash it with a mild soap and water, rinse well, allow it to dry compltely, fold it and store it in a cool, dry place until fall.
