If the water is ever found nn - fit for swimming we will dis- eontinue swimming clauses imme- diately.

Maltese President The big news •for this week is the Donkey .baseball game •Thurs- day, July 21. Harold (Bud) Pres zcator called me and challenged the Legion to a ,game. At that time I honestly did not know what to say but d told him if I did not calf shim before nine o'clock that night the game was on, Well, as you can see, I didn't call him and Manager -Reg. Mc- Donald has his team.ready to go. This is something you people who see it will be talking about for months and those that didn't will be wishing they had. gust imagine a man, be he Kinsman or Legionaire, up at the plate. He hits the ball into the field, and, has to get onto a donk- , ey and ride it to first base before the opposing team can ride his donkey to the ball, :pick it up, then throw it to first base,,from the back of the donkey before the batter gets there. You. may think that is easy, hut those donkeys go when they are ready; Luck when they're read or back up in the wrong direction. In other words they do just about what they want. to do, not what the rider tries tomake them. do. A . „* * * * Comrade 'Gerald Campbell is laid up in St. Joseph's Hospital with a bad ankle. I don't know just :how serious his trouble is, but here is wishing him a speedy recovery and hope he will not have a long stay in the hospital. * * * * The Mohawks ,came through with another victory Tuesday night. Comrade Fred (Casey) Darling managed the team and by all reports did an excellent job. Yours truly was at thegate and didn't see much of the game but I hear it was really a well - played game. Apparently it was more like the type of balll the Exeter team is enable of play- ing. • * * * * g haven't much to report on the Lions' project as yet bet I under- stand they have •purch•ased a car and the tickets will be out very soon. So any of you comrades who are asked to sell tickets, I hope you • will get out and really push them because •I understand there is a good prize for the seller of the winning ticket. Another rea- son to get out and work for this project is that your son or daugh- ter, niece or nephew, or mine, are going to benefit from this because sooner or later they are going to belong to one of these clubs.'
