Scrap Drive
The scrap iron drive put on
by three or four of the Zurich
ball players was not too much
of a success. Most of the places
that were asked if they had
any scrap to give the club, re-
plied that they had just got
the way it was done. The
farmers were too busy to look
around and see if they had any-
thing to give. It was not pub-
lisized enough and there was
not enough time allowed to give
the people a'ehance to see what
they had to give.
Possibly another drive will
be held later in the season and
those who have anything they
want to give will have a bet-
ter chance to do so.
What was given will help out
quite a bit in buying balls and

day was one of the late finishers
and brought the trophy back to
Zurich for John.
This was the first time a
member of the Zurich branch
of the Bank of Montreal has
won the trophy.
Also competing besides John
and Ray from the Zurich bank,
was Doug Marcell of the Bank
of Montreal, Hensall.
Hurort-Perth Meeting
The Huron -Perth Baseball
League held it's third meeting
of the year, in Hensall, a week
ago last night and drew up the
schedule as well as settling
other business.
Bob Sadler, Staffa, was the
unanimous choice for presi-
dent of the league. This will be
his seventh year in that capac-
ity.
Jahn Livermore, Clinton, was
again named to the secretary
treasure post. John, who is Mrs.
George Haggit's father, has
held 'this post since sometime in
the 1940's.
It was the feeling of Walker -

ball was coming back into it's
own once more. He said "people

Playing on his home court
last week, Tom Meyers teamed
up with Ray McKinnon to take
five games to three from Joe
Hunt and Charlie McQuillen.
The more people that get out
to play, the better, and sooner
a league can be formed.

Dashwood Returns
Ron Merner deserves a lot of
credit for the re-enter of Dash-
wood into the Huron Perth
Baseball League. He went to
the meeting last week because
he felt Dashwood should be
represented as they had been
contacte d. While there he
made it very plain to all that
Dashwood could start the sea-
son in the league but from
there on it was anyone's guess
as to what would happen.
With their team composing
mainly of teenagers, he felt
that after a few games some of
them would be disappointed
and call it quits. Others would
have other things to do and
would use the feeblest excuses
possible to get out of playing.
The same goes for every
team. Some people will go out
and work their heart out to see
a team get started in a league.
Other people, and we are talk-
ing about players, will sit on
their "you know what" and do
nothing, or very little to help.
Yet they expect to play in
every game and they also do
more than their share of com-
plaining. Half of them prac-
tice when, and if- they feel
like it.
A stop could be put to this
if every team had about 25
good players who wanted to
play ball. Then they would be
treated like the Walkerton
players. There, if you don't
show up for practice without

has either. However, we do
know that Zurich has a few

nights because their jobs will
interfere. But, there are also
some that are not practicing or
helping in any way. Why, we
don't really* know, but our guess
is that they are the kind that
want lo play and do nothing
else to help.
The players on the Zurich
team have to do a lot better
than they have been doing if
they want to see bail live here.
Those who are not doing their
share of the work had better
get out and help right now,

Registration for minor ball,
under Zurich MAA, will be held

Golf Scores
We hope to start reporting
the top golf scores shot during
the week at the Bayview golf
course. We wan to be fair to
all, so will have four groups.
One for men, one for ladies and
two groups for juniors. The
junior group will be for those
20 and under. We encourage
you to turn in your score card
to the office at the golf course
or to us at the Citizens News.
No one knows what the best
score will be each week so be
sure to turn yours in. It could
well turn out to be one of the
top ones. Make sure if you are
a junior to put your age some
where on the card. Also your
name and address, and this
goes for all—please print 3t, so
we can read . it,

courses in the area and shoot-
ing a good game can give us a
call with the details,

wewould like to see the cups
on the greens moved around
every so often, It gets a bit
dull trying to putt to the same
place on the green every time.
Up Kincardine way where we
came from (actually we're from
Tiverton) the cups on the
greens were changed almost
every week. We liked it that
way and think the idea is a
great one,
