Yelle Goes Well
Nicest surprise to the
was the return to form of Ray
Yelle on Tuesday night. The for
mer Cleveland Indian protege
held the Royals at bay for seven
innings, striking out 11 and al
lowing three hits—one a two-
run homer. Although the Park
hill boy had trouble with his con
trol, he threw his fastest ball so
far this season.
Another Mohawk feature was
the fine relief pitching of Bob
Russell. The local righthander
quickly retired the Royals in the
eighth when Yelle got into trou
ble and set them down again
without difficulty in the ninth.
Although the tribe was able
to take advantage of Royal er
rors to build up a good lead in
Tuesday night’s game, the locals
hit well in the clutches. Bob Me
harg led in the RBI department
with a total of four.

Our summer playground is al
most finished and, referring to
last year’s files, we find that our
attendance to date last year reads
5,49 0, and to date this year we
have had an attendance of 6,408.
This looks very good on paper,
but attendance does not necessar
ily make a playground successful.
There are many questions we can
ask ourselves and many ways to
check and find out the answers
to these questions.
Foi’ instance: how many in
juries have we had on the play
ground this year? If we had
numerous accidents and injuries
then we can trace this to in
adequate supervision, careless
ness, or faulty equipment. To date
we have had six accidents and
this compared to an attendance
of 6,408 is very few.
Scope Largo Enough?
Are the children deriving bene
fits that will help make them
bettei’ citizens? Is the scope of
our programming inclusive of so
cial, cultural, physical, spiritual,
etc. phases of recreation. Our
answer to this perhaps could be
that our activities this year are
many and deversified. With ad
ditions such as square dancing,
Ieatherwork, safety patrol, bik
ing, swimming and water safety,
day camping, along with church
services, gymnastics, ball, story
telling, drama, painting,
work, movies, track and .field,
shuffleboard, music and special
events. Perhaps that sounds im
pressive to the parents but do
the children think it attractive?
One of our problems is to find
out why there are still some
children walking the streets, es
pecially the age group 10 to 16,
and one of the solutions to the
problem would be enquiring and
finding out from these children
What they are interested in and,
if possible and feasible, work
this into our programming. If any
parents have suggestions on how
to improve our playgrounds, wo
would be very happy to heat
from them.
Swimming
Bob Fietoher, our swimming
craft
instructor, is currently conduct
ing a series of Qualifying tests
for the various swimming classes.
Those children who qualify will
have the opportunity to try for
their Junior Red Cross swimming
awards next Thursday under the
direction of some person appoint
ed by the Canadian Red Cross
Society.
The final tests for the physical
fitness awards on the playground
will be run off this week and
next and a crest is presented to
those who successfully pass their
tests.
Our grand finale will be in
the form of a circus day, a penny
carnival and corn roast to be
held at Riverview Park on Fri
day, August 27.
t A program of sports and spe
cial events will be conducted the
week of August 30 to September
’3 with Volunteer leaders.
