BASEBALL The fans of Sutton were treated to a real pitcher's duel on Friday night when George Holborn bested Bill Harper in nine innings, 2-0. The Green Sox ace gave up only 2 hits, claimed nine strike-outs and is-] sued 38 passes while Harper was nicked for 4 hits, sent 14 down swing- ing and gave up only 1 walk. The game progressed a scorcless deadlock until the 7th when the home- sters counted a run. With onc out, Holborn hit safely and advanced to second when Moss groutided out. Stroud then sent a high fly to right field and when Cochrane dropped the ball Holborn scored. They added an- other in the eighth when the Chief's infield bobbled for the threeerrors. Dunne led the hitters for both sides with 2 while Bill Harper smashed out a 2-bagger for the only extra base blow of the night ..

McTaggart also led his team. at the dish with'a heat 3 for 4 and was the only batter to collect more than one safety. - The fielding highlights were supplied by Whitmore who came up with several - sparkling catches. in right field, and Mac Christie who pull- ed off a double play in the last inning to snuff out any thoughts the Tigers had of tying the score.

Noted for his frank, pen- etrating, light blue eyes, he has a charming personality and a pleasant lined face. One writer has described him as a restless, enquiring mind in a restless enquiring body.

He held this position throughout the World War II, until appointed Sec- retary of State. Less than a year ago he was: ajipointed, out of retirement, to: his present post.

The minutes of the last meeting and the roll call were read by Donald Hadden, the Club Sec'y. It was decided that the next meeting would be a joint meeting with the Oshawa Kiwanis Dairy Calf Club at Elmeroft Farms, at Oshawa. This will be the final Day at .the Port Perry Fair on September 3rd. A short program of filmslides shown by Mr. E. R, Jennings, As- sistant Agricultural Representa- tive, Ontario Department of Agri- culture, on "Dairy Type" conclud- ed the program. 'Refreshments were served by Mr. and Mrs. Chambers and the meeting was adjourned. NEW COURSE The Department of Education has announced plans to provide a special training programme and certification for municipal recrea- tion directors and. assistant re- creation directors employed full time in public recreation in On- tario. The programme, which is the first of its kind in North America, will take three years to complete. It will be under the direction of the Community Pro- grammes Branch of the Depart- ment and Prof. Alan Klein of the School of Social Work, University of Toronto, has been appointed "Training Adviser" to conduct the various courses, field work, etc. Each year a 6-day Institute will be conducted at a central point]! and four 2-day institutes in each of five selected centres through- out the province. In addition, cor- respondence studies and work as- signments will be included. Per- manent Department certificates will be awarded to- recreation directors who are successful in the course and who have a mini- mum number of years experience in public recreation. Interim cer- tificates will be issued and many recreation directors will qualify for these immediately. It is expected that approximate- ly 70 will register for the training and write examinations this year. The programme is welcomed, not only by professional recreation ex- ecutives, but by municipal coun- cils and recreation committees. Although municipal recreation programmes are by no means new, leadership services designed to stimulate _and provide a wide range of recreation opportunities have developed rapidly during the past 10 years. Municipal author- ities have been quick to recognize their value and are demanding that their recreation directors be adequately trained and qualified for their work. Approved university degrees will be accepted in lieu of the De- partment's training programme. Courses in recreation have always beén established at both the Uni- versity of Toronto and the Uni- versity of Western Ontario. It is expected that in the near future the majority of recreation workers entering the public recreation field will 'hold a degree in recreation from a university. meeting prior to the Achievement} ~ Toronto Art Gallery The Ontario Department of Edu- cation {3 anxioys to have as many teachers, trustees, ratepayers and others interested in education as possible view the_ world-famous "Art Treasurers from the Vienna Collection" awhile this 80-million dollar exhibition.is on display at the Art Gallery of Toronto from August 6 to September 16.
