Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - June 27, 1968, Winnipeg, Manitoba Another View by John Robertson there is nothing More frustrating. For a tired old Lethander than to drive past a kids Ball game on summer evening arid remember when when the Felt Loose arid supple the legs Young and Strong and when you could lick your lips and taste the Salty sweat As it headed Chiri wards f re Fri your matted hair. Being Brave enough to go out in the Sun and throw and risk i did the next Best thin yesterday and meandered Baldy Northcott s sport ing goods to Swap lies with old buddies Billy Johnson and Mcghee. I. Had known them both in the Days one Good shiny new baseball was hard to come by and Here they were double Chin deep in mountains of big league athletic they had made it. The hard Way from player to Salesman to owner latter transition taking place in 1965 when they bought the shop from Baldy Northcott one the finest people Ever to pull on a Shin pad in the National hockey in the old Days we used to Cluster around a Case of complain mainly about umpires. Little did and Doug know then that one Day they d be beefing about skyrocketing real estate tax on Portage Avenue. Come to think of it a Rise from to in four Short years is quite a legitimate beef Johnson was one of the finest All around athletes this City Ever produced considering he underwent three knee operations before he turned 20. If you go Way Back you la remember him As a prominent member of a West end Oriole juvenile hockey team which included such capable and colourful gents As slats Salter Odie Lowe and George after a stint in the Ahl with Washington four years in the old Western Canada senior league and an overseas sojourn with Harringan racers of the English league Billy spent 12 seasons with Winnipeg maroons before retiring in 1966. Even with a bad hinge he was considered one of the finest play making def Neemen of his Era. But i remember Billy Best As a baseball player about 16. Years ago when he caught five games in one Day in a baseball tournament in Stonewall and was so leg weary we had to carry him to the pub in a Catcher s Crouch before he straightened out. Doug Mcghee is Best remembered As the major Domo of one of the finest senior Amateur baseball teams this City has Ever produced. Their Era began in 1951, when Terry and the late Jack Hind s swipe re Rosedale Junior team moved in Masse into senior company and lost Only seven games in 10 years while winning eight City championships. As a Magna cum laude graduate of both the Rosedale. And native sons organizations by necessity i had the lowest foil through in the history of both pitching staffs. Not to mention powder Burns i la never forget those Early native sons lineups which included household names such As Joe Baron Pete Rettie the incomparable Fred Dunsmore Johnny Warren Don Collins Bruce Hudson Keg Abbott Kenny Nichol Gord Simpson Ken Little Russ Smith Milt Swindlehurst spider Jim 55arie, Bob Hui Isford Bruce Pell Jack Warwick Bill Dunsmore Al Johnson and innumerable others i have unforgiven ably left out. I i used to be flattered just to sit on the Bench in their midst but i had become old at a very Early age traipsing around the country with a very Fine Junior aggregation called the Winnipeg maroons with the likes of old Battery mate Gary Elaine Al Seymour de Butchko Jimmy Doyle Gord masters Reg Chopp Humphrey Hanneson de Hein Lionel Slavin Weldon Ridley Sandy Mcpherson Willie Gardner Kelse Kurceba lefty Rajotte Jim Wilson Larry Thibault and a Host including coach Denis Ball Bill Johnston the late Murray Kyle Clark Simpson and several other men in White Coats. You la forgive the memory Lane bit but it. All came Back when Billy Johnson Doug Mcghee and i sat and kicked around the old Days. The pair did t get into the. Sporting goods game by Accident. Doug boasts 18 years of experience including 11 at Eaton s. And Billy has been at Baldy s since 1955. It s kind of a meeting place the old not a noon hour goes by that a few Don t drop in., inevitably we got talking about an old timers game in August ringing in All reprobates from the maroons Rose Dales natives sons and seniors from Transcona St. James and Cusac. Followed by a Bash naturally. We re going to try to get the stadium and donate the proceeds to Charity. This column belongs rightfully. On the sports Page but it was a game of life to a lot of us and i m sure a lot of the old gang feel that the muscle when they drive by those kids Ball games on these hot summer nights.

Mayor Kenneth Reid of a Borg told the meeting held in the Arborg. Community Hall opposition to the commission s proposal had been the result of misunderstanding. A spokesman for several Arborg residents Blanche Bjarnason said much opposition had been dissipated when Fuller information had been received. Boundaries commission chair Man Robert g. Smellie said the minister of education won t be Able to make any decision before september but that if Public pressures were great enough arrangements could be made to accommodate students of one area in another school division. For instance if the people of Popi Arfield seriously wanted to get into the Evergreen school division this could be done on a temporary basis. The boundaries commission had been created in 1966 to investigate consolidation of school divisions in Manitoba and the boundaries of greater Winnipeg municipalities. The proposed technical Voca Tion school would accommodate students in Arborg and the surrounding area who wish to take vocational courses. Under the technical vocational system students would have to spend at least half their class time on academic subjects. A student who had finished Grade 12 vocational would require an additional year to become Eligi ble for entry into University. Several people at wednesday s meeting complained that no agricultural courses Are Avail Able to High school students but or. Smellie replied the commis Sion has no jurisdiction Over such matters. It was up to local school boards to establish courses. But he said the commission could recommend University in trance courses. Anne Stei Anson a teacher at Berry school in Fisher Branch said 75 per cent of the students her school would much take vocational courses than University Entrance courses. The latter seemed irrelevant to them. T hey dropped out of High school because they re not Given vocational training. Mrs. Bjarnason said the group she spoke for supports the inclusion of Grade 9 students into proposed larger elementary schools to give them one additional year in their Home districts. We would also like consideration to be Given to a fourth year for students of a vocational High school to obtain the requirements for University in trance if they so desire and a High school agricultural course. Other spokesmen favouring the Arborg school included Trygive Svenson Joseph Mazur and John Polamarchuk.
