a PARK. CONCESSIONS

HERE appears to. be a “strong div ersion of. opinion as.
“to whether or not the baseball.concession: should. be
given at the Beacon Avenue Park. At the last meeting of
the Parks -Board, a .public.meeting; residents voted in
favour of granting the baseball concession for three years,
allowing exclusive use of the fenced portion to Mr.C. W.
Hodges of Victoria.

- In trying to establish a series of league and semi-pro-
fessional..baseball- games, the need for a fenced enclosure
becomes apparent. Sport, when organized, becomes a
costly business, and admittance must be charged. Those
in-favour of the plan visualize the organization of better
games, perhaps even, of a local baseball team, although
it was pointed out to them at the public meeting that the
tr aining of players has now become a complex and techni-
‘eal science. The average “sand-lot” player now has to be
“‘“milearned” much of his prowess.

Opponents of the plan state that the community games
“ of. softball gave pleasure to-many and that such games
will now have no place to play. Erection of a fence will
~ © be-unsightly and soon fall into disrepair, thus causing an
» vadditional. burden ‘upon: the residents who will still be >
asked to maintain the park. -. -
. “Tf the venture is: successful, this latter premise may be
oe discounted, for .a smart..operator realizes only too well
- the need to maintain “an attractive, neat and. tidy estab-
“lishment. |
~~ . We sum up loosely here the primary points of interest
in this discussion . ... for discussion it has become in. North
Saanich. It may be safely assumed that the hard-working
Parks Board, under the direction of George Baal, will not
“too easily: dispose of. the heritage of the youth of the com-
munity. The whole. incident, indeed, points to the appall-
ing: lack..of interest residents usually take in the affairs of
. the Parks Society.. Discussion of this baseball concession
“may. well. do-a-world’ of good in. letting. the residents of
--North Saanich know. of their parks and of. the hard-work-
ing handful: of ‘men. and women who administer: them.

HIGHER HAIRCUTS

Dear Sir:--I, for one, cannot
understand why there is another
boost in haircut prices. If one
would only stop to think of the
profits made on this and- what
the public is accepting.

For instance, with the electrical
barber uses’ to cut
hair, he could seat you in the
chair, start in-and have you out:
in five minutes; but they all have
that habit of snipping away with

stress on the danger uf anger dur-
ing a meal. Diet is a prolonged
ond very interesting” study,
people must be careful not to be-

the scissors for ten minutes— come cranks on the’. subject.—
anyhow: we will allow them 20 9 Arthur Edgelow, retired English’
minutes a haircut. That is $2.25 physician.

per hour, an average of $18 for _—
cight hours’ work. And, believe
me, they do it.: Half the time a
‘man. can’t. get into a chair, so
there is no lack of business. Does . ¢¢
the barber pay more for electric- . ~
‘ity’.and water than we do? I
don’t think so. .° _
-We ‘quite . understand about
union wages, ete.; ; but that doesn’t
answer the question of the in-
crease.. Who-is going to cut the
hair of the old-age pensioner ‘and
the burned-out pensioner, whose
. income is $70. per month for him-
self and his wife—not $18-a day?
