This year, thanks to the leadership of Ralph Amiel, chairman of the Children's Baseball Program, over 350 children are participating in the Base ball Program. This is an all-time high enrollment and a testimony to the fine quality of the organization of the leagues and the execution of the program. “When you get down to it," Ralph said at a recent committee meet ing, “our success is due to the joint efforts of staff and the many devoted coaches and other volunteers who put in hundreds of hours to serve our kids and make our leagues the best in the city, and perhaps the entire coun try.” To this we say, “Amen.” Help! Help! Help! The Center is in need of two sewing machines in good working order, and one automobile. If you would like to donate these items to the Center, call Mike Tainoff, 875-788I.
