Canadian's base ball nine will
open this year's season of the
great American game on' the
local diamond next Sunday after-
noon against the Higgins-Booster
team.
During last season both Hig-
gins and Booster Station sup-
ported teams but this year they
have combined forces and should
have a snappy nine after picking
the best players from both to
form one team.
The Canadian line-up will be
much the same as that which
started the season last year and'
went through the summer with-
out much change to establish a
winning percentage of .667.
Eighteen games were played dur-
ing the 1933 season with the
local boys winning 12, losing 6
and scoring 124 runs, while 102
•runs were being scored against
them.
Field Manager Frank Catter-
ton has between fifteen and
twenty ambitious players working
out daily and announces that they
will be in shape and ready to go.
The game will be called at 2:45.

Child's Character
Up To Community
Shamrock.—As growth is lim-
ited to the productiveness of the
soil from which the plant ob-
tains its nourishment, so the
development of the child is bound
by the worth of his community,
Judge H. E. Hoover of Canadian,
principal speaker at Wednesday
night's session of the district Pa-
rent-Teachers convention, stated.
Judge Hoover developed his sub-
let, "The Child and the Com-
munity," by a thirty-minute talk
on the responsibilities .of the
home, the school;- the'church, and
the state toward the citizens of
the future.
Civic organization heads gave
greetings at the first of the eve-
ning.
"Man's usefulness is measured
by the example he sets for oth-
ers," he slid in stressing the
great importance of adult in-
fluence and environment in shap-
ing the course the child will fol-
low in the future. "Man's duty
is to make the world a better
place; this is the community re-
sponsibility to the child. Educa-
tion alone can raise the standard
of national citizenship, and to
so raise the standard the educa-
tion must be alike for the masses
and classes. This means that
the educating of the child should
be at... the expense of the nation
and the state."
