Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - March 16, 1968, Winnipeg, Manitoba Coffee break by John Robertson the victorian Ordek of nth uses Are just about the greatest group of individuals in the world and i think even the von s will chuckle at the following report i received we had a visit from a von nurse the other Day and while she was sterilizing her instruments prior to looking at our baby she lost them in my dishwater. My husband came quickly to the Rescue and while he was fishing the instruments out of the sink for her she inadvertently poured a Kettle of boiling water on his hand. We think the von people provide an excellent service but it does help the ego of the average housewife to know that even these Fine people Aren t Lorne Leech of the Dakota hotel Calls to say that his Bevy of girl dancers will donate their services to entertain patients at the Deer Lodge Hospital on March 24. And if a few of the Gallant old soldiers out there Don t pick up their Beds and walk after just one performance i la be mighty surprised. Anyway it should prove that among other things the dancing gals do have heart. I know i be already bored quite a few people by recounting some of my old baseball exploits or Lack of same but it was great to hear from former baseball buddy Gerry Benin just about the most Graceful outfielder in the history of Columbus club. I la Tell you How much of a baseball Bug Gerry is. He named his no. 1 son Mickey after Mickey Mantle. And i say right now that if Young Mickey turns out to be half the Ball player his dad Gerry was Columbus club will Rise again. Speaking of the old baseball Days my no. 1 summer works project is now centred around organizing a couple of old timers games Between pot bellied grads from the late Jack Hind s incomparable Rose Dales Eddie Cass s old Columbus clubbers Dino Ball s reprobate Winnipeg Junior maroons and a Bunch of the old senior stars from Transcona and Cusac i m thinking in terms of a tournament at a place like Provencher Park with the proceeds going to a Leo Hunter memorial donation to the retarded children s fund. If we get enough players in fact i won t have to toe the rubber. This should save us a Bill in lost baseballs alone. Still with baseball on a far More serious note my heart goes to Gene Walker and the rest of the family on the loss of their father Lew. Old timers will remember Lou As one of the finest Semi ballplayers of his Era but i prefer to remember him As a proud Parent who never missed a Junior Ball game when son Gene was pitching or when son Lew or. Was playing football. As High school principal Lew Walker or. Earned the respect of untold thousands of students. He was Tough but fair unyielding but soft hearted when it came to the endless problems youngsters have. I had the privilege of son Gene in Junior baseball a fire Balling right hander who just might have been a major league baseball player had not he rightly chosen to finish his University education. And every game behind Home plate Lew would be either sitting there or coming around to the Bench and asking what he could do to help out. It got so that i missed him when he was t there. And i m going to miss him now just As hundreds of his friends Are. Lew Walker was the kind of Guy the other on the team i coached would look at in envy and say i wish i had a dad like no Man could ask for a More fitting epitaph and i know that his family must realize this in their time of sorrow. Lastly an item from the Edmonton journal in a Public prayer at the opening of Vancouver s new ?6 million coliseum a Clergyman asked god to personally see to it that the leaders of the nil Grant Vancouver a hockey franchise. Now if god can Only squeeze in an appointment with Maple Leaf owner Stafford smythe i think the prayers might be answered.

Over the last few years the j College has started phasing out it s classical education which Many students found of Little value when they went to find a Job. At the same time College officials emphasize that it is a French Canadian College first and roman Catholic second. There has also been a change to Lay teaching staff instead of clerical.

As the College expands its areas of teaching College officials expect this percentage to increase particularly in the area of scientific and professional courses. Demolay youths driving for 70 Max.
