"TERRACE Bay News SCOUT CAMP WORK PARTY finals by knocking out, in no uncertain terms, Circulation Terrace Bay and Schreiber | AWARDS NIGHT GREAT SUCCESS Over 200 spectators gathered at the High School Auditorium last Friday night for the Awards Night and Playground Display. Over half of this number." were parents. Awards were presented to 116 children for Minor Baseball, Red Cross swimming, playground physical fitness, and playground total points tests. In addition, a very pleasing programme of entertainment was provided by the. play- ground children, Congratulations are due to the swimming instructors, Ralph Warren 'and Judy McCausland, and to the playground leaders, Norma Schock, Betty MacFadyen and Diane Reddard for the fine job they did on the Summer Programme this year. Over eighty people successfully passed their Red Cross swimming tests. Be- sides this, our swimming team competed more successfully than ever before.. Summer Play- ground was even busier, with an average of over 150 per day attending the programme over the two-month' period. Our thanks to the parents who' showed enough interest to.attend our Award & Variety 5, Pro- gramme, Your support assured us that this can become a worthwhile annual affair.

RED ROCK PAPER KINGS IN SR.BASEBALL FINALS At the time of writing the best of seven series between Red Rock and Westfort Albions in the Lakehead Senior League is tied at one game each, On behalf of sports fans along the North Shore. we would like to congratulate the Red Kock Team on their accomplishment in reaching the play-offs. They earned a berth in the Vol.2, No. 34 August 27', 1959 last year's Champs, Port Arthur Red Sox, in the semi-final series, The Paper Kings are the first team from outside the Lakehead to reach the finals in more than twenty years!} All the games in the final series are being played in the Lakehead. This seems to us to be rather an unfair job of scheduling. They say the Red Rock diamond is not in con- dition--but it was apparently okay all season and at least one game of the semi-finals was played there. To say the least Red Rock are at a disadvantage with no home games in the finals. However, Red Rock are making their presence in the League well known and other North Shore entries in the League will no doubt benefit from the experience gained by them. The Terrace Bay Comets were edged out of the play-offs and the Paper Kings played a big part in that. The Comets trouble started this season when Red Rock won a twin bill in Terrace on May 24th. All sports fans along the North Shore will be pulling for the Red Rock Club--win or lose/i in the finals, we can be sure they will put up a battle. Win or lose they have made the Lakehead Senior League sit up and take notice and, in the process, the Senior League will become a better league, Well done and best of luck Paper Kings}?!
