Minor Bali Games
All boys and girls through-
out this .area wishing to play
ball under the Zurich Minor
Athletic Association banner this
summer, are requested to reg-
ister this Friday night at 7
p,m., at the Zurich Arena.
Various programs are under
consideration for softball and
hardball this summer, but no
definite plans can be •completed
until all the children wishing
to take part have registered.
Age for eligible boys or girls
is from 9 to 16 years old.
This summer it is the hope
of the Zurich MAA that a girls'
softball league can be formed,
with at least two or three teams
taking part. The whole matter
depends on the number of girls
showing interest in such a pro-
gram.

WOAA Announces
Special Clinics
For Bali Umpires
In an all-out effort to up-
grade the quality of baseball
and softball, the Western On-
tario Athletic Association ex-
ecutive is going to concentrate
on better umpiring.
To begin with, four umpiring
clinics have been announced by
the executive. This is the sec-
ond year that such clinics have
been held.
In f u u r e all officials at
WOAA minor and senior games
must hold an official umpire's
certificate signed by the
WOAA umpire registrar.
Umpires are also reminded
that they must attend one of
these clinics if they wish to be
registered in ;the WOAA. The
clinics are free and open to
anyone 16 years and over.
Coaches, managers and play-
ers may also attend.
Baseball Clinics
A baseball umpires' school is
scheduled for the Listowel
arena on Sunday, June 12, with
classes and instruction from
10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Softball Clinics
Three softball umpires'
schools are scheduled with one
at Clinton Legion Hall on Sun-
day, July 10, also from 1 to
5:30 p.m.
Further information about
these clinics may be obtained
from Hugh H. Hodges, at Ad -
astral Park, Canadian Forces

DEAR DORIS — Our daugh-
ter has become engaged to a
boy she has only known three
months. He is 23, she is 19.
They plan to marry in a month.
When we suggested they wait
until fall, they asked would we
prefer a forced marriage. He
seems very domineering. There
is a difference in religion, and
she is doubtful whether she
would want to raise children
as Catholics. Neither intends
to change.
My daughter was never popu-
lar with the boys, being shy
and prim. I coaxed her to try
to make other friends, and she
said no one else would have
her. I fear she is so love -
starved that she is making a
mistake.
Should We Interfere?
DEAR SHOULD WE — You
cannot stand by and say noth-
ing, when the dice are so load-
ed against her. The threat about
"forcing" the marriage is chil-
dish and unkind—and this is
surely the kind of thing which
will make her rue the day.
I'm sending you my leaflet,
"What Is Love?" If she will
pause long enough to read it
and do some thinking without
Rash Romeo leaning over her
shoulder, she might just sum-
mon enough self-discipline to
renege, for the present,
(Note to readers: The above
leaflet is available to anyone
writing in for it and enclosing
ten cents and a stamped, self-
addressed envelope.)
DEAR DORIS — Why is it
customary for the groom not to
see the bride after midnight the
night before the wedding?
My friend's wedding rehears-
al is on a Thursday night but
the wedding isn't until Satur-
day. What do the bride and
groom do in this case. Does he
not see her after 12 o'clock
Thursday night?
Maid of Honor
DEAR MAID — Depends on
how superstitious they are. Le-
gend has it that it is bad luck
for the groom to see the bride
on their wedding day ahead of
when she marches towards him
up the aisle. At that point, I
expect he is to be dazzled by
her radiance—which is doubt-
less good luck!
Can't imagine there'd be a
thing wrong with a brief pre-
view Friday,
DEAR DORIS—I am writing
about boys with long hair. I
am 14 and I think boys should
not have long hair. My reason
is found in the Bible, 1 Corin-
thians 11:14: "Doth not even
Renew Your
Subscription Now
nature itself teach you, that if
a man have long hair, it is a
shame unto him?"
I know not all will agree with
me but I will always believe
and trust the Bible. What do
you think.
Betty
DEAR BETTY — Hair fash-
ions and clothes fashions are
changing all the time. I simply
can't believe that people today
aren't just as good Christians
as those who lived long ago.
Paul was talking to the men
of his day. Do you suppose it
did Samson any good to have
his hair cut?
The main lesson of the Bible
for all of us, and the part that
outlives the centuries of change,
is the teaching of Christ about
love and truth, and the differ-
ence between right and wrong.
Keep right on reading your
Bible, and I think you .will ar-
rive at this general principal
as well.
DEAR DORIS—What do you
think about boys playing with
pellet guns? Their ages are
13, 11 and 7 years.
They said they would go
down to the basement one at
a time, and take turns playing
with it. But I'm still afraid
they will get hurt. My oldest
boy said he would take your
advice.

All boys and girls interested in playing
ball this summer must register at this

club. I'm afraid too.
I simply don't believe your
dead -eye Dicks would continue
playing alone, even if they
started that way. Guns of any
kind are not for solitaire. And
only •a single pellet has to hit
one eye, once, to make a
tragedy.
One day a litle boy I knew
put a lighted firecracker in a
milk bottle. I failed to go off,
so he went over to look LL'in.
You know the rest. It went off,
and he lost his eye. Nuff said?
