THERE JUST ISN'T ANYTHING BETTER on a hot sum- mer day than a nice cool pool. And if there are any doubts, the appearance of these happy kids in the new memorial wading pool at the Seaforth Lions Park will settle the ques- tion. Opened last week for the first time, the pool has attracted several huridred of the five and. under set, who lose no time in feeling at home in the water. The pool is open each afternoon and evening when weather permits. Members of the Lions pool staff take turns in supervising the activities of the young fry in the wading pool. Picnic Groups Choose Lions Park For Annual Summer Gatherings Probably the most popillar spot in the district during the past week has been the Sea - forth Lions Park. Every day the park has been crowded with adults and children. The new wading pool, open- ed to district tots last week for the first time, has created an added attraction in the already popular park. Groups repres- enting schools, churches' and families over a wide area this year have used the extensive park facilities to an increasing extent. Hot, dry weather, too, has increased attendance at the pool. As 'of Wednesday eve- ning, there had been a total of 4,200 admissions to the pool since it opened a week ago, of- ficials said. Operation of the park and pool- depends on the financial support of the district. This year while the the annual sum- mer carnival is being held August, 8, 9 and 10, the public can take part in advance by purchasing draw tickets, which are available at Seaforth stores.

SS NO. 10, McKILLOP Miss Ruth Hibberd, teacher, directed games at the picnic held by SS No. 10, McKillop (Winthrop) School at Lions Minor Ball Teams Seek Assistance Seaforth Minor Baseball As- sociation teams have played several scheduled games in the WOAA groups and by the end of the month will be entering the playoffs. Aa in the past, the associa- tiori has appealed to the public fbr its support of minor base- ball. It is through the generous contributions of those interest- ed in providing an opportunity for the young ball players that the association is able to carry on, and to teach good sports- manship to the youth of Sea - forth and district. To Make this possible, the association's pro- gram includes a "Booster Day" throughout the town. The schedules are well under way and expenses are mount- ing, since gate receipts are low. It is for this reason that the association has decided to hold "Booster Day" this Saturday, July 7. Association offieiala, in- cluding managers and CoaChea, anticipate a generous response and express appreciation to the public for the co-operation they know will be forthcoming. It is anticipated that all minor ball' players canvassing Will be in uniform as a means of iden- tification. Two books were handed to officials of the Minor Baseball Association by R. J. Boussey. The books were discovered by Mr. W. Langford, Mrs. Bous- sey grandfather, who lives with Mrs. Bert Shaw in London. The one is.dated 1888 and was the Spalding official baseball guide; the other, the Reach official American League guide, de- picts the 1908 season. The Spalding book includes the complete official league re- cords for 1887; the new code of playing rules as revised by the committee conference. It is in- teresting to note that in 1888 the official league ball were $1,50 each; or $16 per dozen. The Boss juvenile ball, 74 inch- es, weighing three ounces, was 5 cents, Or 50 cents per dozen. Others ranged from 10 cents to $1.50. Baseballs today range from $1.29 to $3.65. The official little league ball is $2.15. In comparing bats, ash make, the range was from 25 cents to $1. Today, official bats run from 85 cents to $3.19. In studying these comparisons the Seaforth Minor Baseball Association feel that in order to purchase sufficient bails and, bats at today's prices, the "Booster Day" must go ov- er the top. Be a good sport -- support minor baseball in Sea - forth. Seaforth 14, St. Marys 3 Seaforth Pee Wees defeated St. Marys on Tuesday night at the recreational grounds by a 14-3 score.
