Gibb Gilchrist, head of this year’s Little League program, spoke, thanking the per sons and organizations who made the new facilities possible. Thanks were extended to the B & W Crane Service of Bryan, for providing a crane for placing Cpe light poles; to Andrews Parker Inc., for digging the holes; and to Franky Brown, for directing the erection of the poles. The lighting system was install ed by the City of College Station. Jim Colson provided equipment for digging the holes for the pole guy wires, and also dug the holes for the dugouts last year. Gilchrist also expressed appi'e- ciation to T- W. Hughes, local home builder, and his associates for help in constructing the tool house, and to the Marion Pugh Lumber Co., “who many times last year and this year purposely failed to bill us for materials used for Little League purposes.” A new feature added to the park is an electric ball and strike indi ISator donated by the Student Coop store. The scoreboard was given by the Culpepper-Manning Insur ance Agency and Culpepper Real ty Co. The league gets money for op eration in several ways.
