Page #3 FRASER-BRACE TEAM WINS TERRACE BAY SOFTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP A hard fighting Fraser- Brace softball team which found itself in the cellar of "B" Leauge at mid-season, emerged as Terraee Bay champions following a remarkable comeback staged under Captain Carson Getz, After defeating Renown Royals for the "B" Leauge Championship in the semi-finals, the Fraser-Brace team was pitted against the hard hitting "Red" Davis aggregation - "Hydro Kilowatts" - which had just emerged victorious in "A" Leagye over the "LongLac Comets", heavy favourites to take all Terrace Bay laurels, The 2 out of 3 serfes extended to 4 games played in five nights, before a winner was decided. On Monday, August 25th, Fraser-Brace edged out Hydre 7 te 6 in a real upset. Two days later (Wed. the 27th) the score was tied 7-7 at the end of the 6th when darkness halted proceedings. The next night at Hydro field the Kilowatts evened the series by a 10 to 9 victory with a 2 run rally in the last innings, after the Fraser-Brace crew had taken a 9-8 lead in the 5th following a 5 run splurge. The final game played on the Terrace Bay field Friday, Aug 29th, saw the Fraser-Brace lads take a 1 run lead on a run seored by Mofisan in the first, In the sixth the Cameron boys each scored a run, Those 3 runs were the only ones scored in the entire game which ended ih the favour of the Fraser-Brace team 3-0, Despite the less of the game and the series the Hydre Kilowatts deserve a let of credit.

Bay School must reaeh the age of 6 years before December 31st of this year, the question is being raised as to the need for a pre-school age private school in the community. This question was one of the many discussed at a meeting of the Terraee Bay School Board held September 2nd. At the meeting, the Board decided to give every support to the establishment of such a private school if details could be worked out, although the Board would have no actual jurisdiction over such a school, First, it will be necessary to have parents with pre-school age children de- finitely indicate their interest in such-.a private school. Secondly, if the need for such a school is indicated,a teacher would be re- quired; someone with a teaching certificate, preferably a kindergarten certificate. Parents or prospective teachers interested in such a projeet should contact LongLac's Personnel Director, Mr. H. C. Laundy, at Building 49, in the Lower Camp,
