Thursday, May 7, 13S4 THE McSENBY PLAINDEALm MeCMlom Lake Little League Needs Manager Eve Levesque The field is ready, a large group of young lads are eager, and there is money in the bank! but unless a manager is found in the near future, the McCullom Lake little league is in jeopardy of extinction. Founded several years ago by a band of fathers who wished to channel the energies of young boys in the right direction and leave them less time for mischievous acts, the little leauge has served the community well and furthered the cause of sportsmanship. The' present manager, Merwyn Schmitt, will be leaving the community very soon and can no longer lead the club. But he is extremely concerned about it and is looking for a successor. Bill Brennan founded the organization, and together with the men who helped him and Merv, it is a going concern. There are plenty of uniforms, equipment AND MONEY! Surely there MUST be one father in the community who will talk on the responsibility of taking over the management. The job is a bit time consuming but well worth the effort. If you are interested, please get in touch with Merv at 385-3255. Saturday, May 23. The women ask that clothing which is to be donated be clean and usable.
