Sate SI Fe by John Dennis After 10 weeks of baseball, teams that will represent their respective towns and villages in playoffs are pretty well aware of their standings and what chances they will have in the so-called "new season'. Unfortunately Wyebridge will not be part of the playoff picture this year as their 10-2 loss to Perkinsfield snuffed out any prospects of a berth in the 1981 semi- finals. Monday nights' loss to Perkinsfield ended Wyebridge's standing advancement to seventh overall. Although disappointed the season is over Coach Brien Dutton expressed optimism in his young team for next year. But for the time being Warriors will have to be content with tournaments until season end. At the annual All-Star game in Midland last Thursday the South proved victorious as they outscored the North, 8-6. Wyebridge Squirts lost a close one last Wednesday as they were downed 14-12 by Victoria Harbour. Meanwhile midgets lost another close one as Lafontaine slipped by Wyebridge 12-11. Midgets however still have a chance to pull the season out of the fire as all teams in the league automatically make the playoffs. When Bruce Guthrie lived in Saginaw, Michigan while playing for Saginaw Gears he made many friends and fans. One couple became closer than most and in a way took Bruce under their wings and it was not uncommon for them to have Bruce to their home for dinner. George and Jackie Aitkins recently made the trip from Saginaw and stayed for one week at the home of Bruces parents, Watching from sidelines Merideth and Hazel Guthrie. . While visiting with Bruce and his parents George and Jackie were treated to sightseeing trips including a boatcruise, a tour of the Martyrs' Shrine and because George works at a marina in Saginaw he was shown around the many marinas in the area. Belated birthday wishes are extended at this time to Shani MacArther who celebrated her 11 birthday on July 26. Karley MacArther returned recently from a week long trip to New York. From July 9-17, Karly visited with her mother and took side trips to Connecticut and Rhode Island to visit with her sisters. Anne Fredette was in Wyebridge this past week visiting with parents Earl and Hazel Preston. Accompanying Anne on the trip were son Chris and daughter Geneya.

In the push to get the job done, especially during those critical periods of planting and harvesting, too often the little things that make the job a safer one are ignored.

And _ that means safely. It just doesn't pay to take shortcuts or chances. The need for safety is clear every time we sit down for dinner with our families. It is vital that we, as farmers, make sure everyone on -our farms is safety- conscious at all times. the management and staff at Somerville urge you to make this a hazardless harvest.
