FINAL PROGRAM in the West-
inghouse Presents series was aired
last Sunday. The show closed with
'the announcement that it will re-
turn unchanged the first Sunday
in October. For the nineteen in-
tervening weeks, a singing group
from Listowel, "The Maids and
Men of Melody", will be heard on
CKNX. The program will begin
simultaneously on four other
Ontario stations at Owen Sound,
Barrie, Orillia and Guelph. These
stations began pooling programs
last year at this time; and the
venture has been turned with
considerable success. Representa-
tives from each station meet this
week-end in Wingham to review
their work and plan future moves
Adult Education programs will be
one topic discussed, As well as
the Maids and Men of Melody
show, CKNX contributes to the
pool: Fair Game (Wednesday
night at 10:30), and Guide to Good
Reading (Saturday at 5 o'clock).
MARIO LANZA will again be the
summer replacement for Edgar
Bergen. Lanza's "Pause that Re-
freshes" begins Sunday, June 8th
at 8:00 p,m. After Bergen closes
his radio season for Coca-Cola, he
hopes to fly his own plane on a
number of personal appearances
this summer. Indications are that
he and Charlie McCarthy will give
up radio for television next fall.
RADIO TERM for summer re-
tirement of the big shows is
hiatus, "Double or Nothing" will
take only a short one. For the
months of July and August Ma-
her's will bring in the Henry Riag
Show Monday night at 8:30.

spcIto Editor
Arenas in Wingham, Walkerton and Lucknow have been used for a
different sport than hockey recently, What with the ground being so wet
in the ball parks, the fastball boys haven't anywhere to practice, so someone
hit on the bright Idea of using the arenas,
With the first game over and lost and another one slated for to-night in
Lucknow, the boys really need the work-outs. There were ten fellows out
to Thursday night's practice with no new faces showing. The team will be
the same as last year's with the exception of Lenny Gaull catching in place
of Bob Groves; Johnny Crowson will hold down the first base bag, Doug
Aitchison on second and Lorne Gardiner on third, Sharpy Sell will be back
at shortstop having missed the hockey season here while working out of
town. In left field, we will again have Freddy Templernan, Boney Foster
in centre field and George Weetialee in right field, Our battery of course
will be Guy Sparrow and Lenny Gaull. Relief players will be Ken Saxton,
John Hanna and Jerry Fry.
Fans wil lhave to adjust themselves to a few changes, what with the
pitcher's box back three feet and the base back five feet, All the players,
of course, will wear gloves.
Team managers this year are listed below for the convenience of all fans
who would like to know the names of the men they are jeering (not
cheering); Charlie Webster for Lucknow; Tom Sims for Meaford; Tom
O'Ragen for Walkerton; Andy Currie for Port Elgin; Mickey Foster for
Hanover; and of course our own Charlie Crossett on the bench for Wing-
ham. Convener is Tubby Schmaltz of Walkerton.
Two imports are allowed to each team this year and that is where the
big battle begins. Practically every team has an outstanding hurler and
catcher signed. Whether they will all last the season is another matter and
one which we wouldn't want to bet on, but it looks like a big opening for
the WOAA fastball league.

RULE'S FOR FANS
Toronto fastball fans must be wondering what's happening with the mass
migration of their best players to Western Ontario, This promises to be a
big year for this neck of the woods and for the WOAA. We would like to
extend a hearty welcome to any city fans who would like to come up and
see their favourite players perform. The ball parks in these parts are noted
for being, able to squeeze in "just one more", fan and we promise you a
friendly welcome.
There are certain rules that you must abide by however! No quart-size
bottles may be throWn at the players, these may be used only on referees,
smaller sizes may be thrown "lightly" at players,
Throwing bottles however is generally frowned on by the local gendarmes
and your disapproval of a play or decision may be shown by ringing a cow-
bell or blowing a bugle.
If you disagree with -your neighbour over a decision, please do your
fighting outside of the park as you arc liable to interrupt the view of other
fans, who will likely eject you anyway.
Referees expect to he insulted by the fans but they appreciate this shown,
in some tangible fashion, such as throwing dimes, riickles or quarters. This
money will be used for the Referee's Retirement and Re-Habilitation Fund
and will pay their way through a short coarse at the Canadian National
Institute for the Blind.
Profanity will not be allowed in the park, as there are women present
and it is their privilege only to abuse the players in such manner,
All halls batted into the stands or over the steeds must be returned to
one of the umps; as the other ball may be lost too and the game would have
to be called.
