Page 2 College Station, Texas Friday, November 4, 1960 THE BATTALION CADET SLOUCH TEENAGE BASEBALL LEAGUE A United Fund Benefactor: CS Recreation Council By TOMMY HOLBEIN Among agencies receiving aid from the College Station United Fund Drive will be the College Station Recreation. Council, with an increased budget caused by the proposed formation of the College Station Teenage Baseball League. The Council has sponsored programs in the community un- matchable in others the same size of College Station, all of which have been great successes. During 1960, there were 2,000 people who participated in the Council’s 14 programs, which in cluded adult softball, archery, baseball in little leagues, bowl ing, golf, teen dances and tennis, among others. Ejjich activity furnished a qual ified leader who devoted his time to the operation of the activity, and many of the programs had professional instructors working with the participants. The Teenage Baseball League is planned as the next addition to the Recreation Council’s pro gramming of activities. Many questions have come up concerning the Teenage Baseball Program. To clarify the issue, the following questions and an swers are presented: What is C.S.R.S Teenage Base ball? It is a baseball program for the boys of 13 years of age and up. This program will in clude the regular high school baseball team of A&M Consoli dated and at least two Babe Ruth teams (13-15 year old boys) in the Brazos Valley Youth League during 1961. What boys will this program reach? After a boy passes the age for Little League baseball he will automatically become eli gible for Teenage Baseball. What is needed? A lighted regulation size baseball field in College Station for the 1961 base ball season. The field must be ready for play when the A&M Consolidated baseball season be gins Mar. 1, 1961. How can this this need be met ? By the support of all residents of the combined Bryan-College Station area and all businesses therein. Where will the field be lo cated? On property owned by the A&M Consolidated School System, just east of the present football field. The school board of A&M Consolidated voted in July that this area be designated hereafter as an area for a base ball field to be used by both the school and the community. ★ ★ ★ BATTALION EDITORIALS RyHelpingOth ers ’ The people of College Station are once again to be com plimented. Reports from ambitious United Chest workers show that citizens of the community are maintaining the same charitable attitude toward such a drive that they have iden tified themselves by doing in years past. Last year, the United Chest drive went well over its goal; this year’s aim of $15,150 should as easily be obtained and surpassed, with the continued cooperation of the people of College Station. Theme for the 15-day drive, terminating on Nov. 15, is “One Day’s Pay: The United Way!” If everyone approached for a donation gave this amount, the goal set by the Heading Committee would be passed in a matter of days. This was done in Dumas, a small North Texas town near Amarillo, where citizens donated 103 per cent of their pre determined goal in less than a week. If Dumas could do it, surely College Station could out-do this record. Various agencies in the Bryan-College Station area will reap great benefits from the United Chest funds, and the re cipients of these benefits will be the people of the commun ities, the citizens who worked together for them . Benefits will be seen through the Boy and Girl Scouts, Brazos County Youth Counciling Service, Crippled Children’s Therapy Center, College Station Community House, and the College Station Recreation Council. These are among 14 community, charity, medical and youth agencies to receive imbursement from the United Chest at the end of the drive. By participating in the United Chest drive, the people of the community help those who need help and become an accepted and essential part of community improvement and betterment. “Help yourself by helping others ...” What kind of a field is planned? The lighted regulation field will have a 6-foot chain link fence completely surrounding the area. There will be approxi mately 300 feet from home base to both right and left and almost 400 feet to the fence in center field. The back stop will be 42 feet or more from the foul lines and home base. At least 100 lights on 10 poles (45-55 feet) will be used to light the field. Dugouts will be of concrete with a shade over them and .a drain so water can be removed. A con cession stand and bleachers will be provided by the A&M Consoli dated School in the future. What will be the estimated cost? A bid from one local firm indicates a cost of about $9,000 for materials. This does not in clude any labor for construction, therefore a goal of $10,000 has been established as a minimuiti to provide the field. 1 How will it be constructed ? By the men of College Station and surrounding area with the help of the City of College Sta tion, A&M Consolidated School and any business firms willing to donate labor, materials and equipment. Labor will be do nated as it was in the construc tion of the Little League Parks of the area. The following men will supervise construction: Ed- sell Jones, Jack Chaney, Jim Wal lace and Hubert Hearne. Who will care for the field? A&M Consolidated School Sys tem, during the school year, and the College Station Recreation Council through the Babe Ruth League and the Brazos Valley Youth League during the sum mer. How are funds to be raised? Business firms and individuals of Bryan and College Station will be contacted and asked to pledge any amount they c^n over the next 5 years. A pledge card will be given each contributor and pledges may be paid monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or an nually. A permanent name plac ard of charter contributors ($50 or more) will be placed at the entrance gate of the field. Other contributors will be duly recog nized. All funds collected will be held in a special fund by the bonded treasurer of the College Ey Jim Earle | Social Calendar iH “don’t just stand there—help us untangle these spurs.” INTERPRETING Terms of Scottish Base For Polaris Still Kicks Up By J. M. ROBERTS Associated Press News Analyst The small gale that was blow ing in Anglo-American relations over the terms of a Scottish base for a Polaris submarine has died down, but continues to kick up a dust in British politics. The United States has been as sured, despite some ambiguous words by Prime Minister Harold Macmillan, that Britain realizes she can exercise no veto over the actions of submarines so based. In return, the United States has reaffirmed her intention to consult her allies wherever their interests are involved, insofar as time permits in an emergency. The base agreement allows stationing of a submarine tender, capable of carrying Polaris mis sile, to service the new subma rines, the first of which goes into service this month. The agreement has revived Station Recreation Council until British fear > existent ever since by American policies with which Britain might disagi’ee at the time. The British are extremely aware that their insular popula tion and industry will be horribly exposed in casq of atomic war. That has produced two groups which sincerely oppose American bases and even the development of nuclear weapons by Britain herself. Some of them are paci fists. Some believe unilateral nuclear disarmament by Brjitaht' might pave the way for inter- ^ )0S „ e< ! 1 f na , ,. , , . to fall back national action. They are joined by some left ist fellow travelers whose mo tives are subject to far greater question. Insofar as the submarine “service station” is concerned, it will serve two positive pur poses, mostly of peacetime bene fit. It is a convenience, but by no means a necessity, in the de ployment of the Polaris subs at picket posts in the Eastern Hemi sphere for their principal job. That job is to remind the So viet Union that, even if the United States should be seriously injured by surprise attack, she will still retain a vast power of retaliation from secret underwa ter “firing pads.” In case of war, of course, the service station would be too ex posed and the subs would have on home bases, which actually are easily available to their great speed and range. The other result is to add an other thread to the fabric of Anglo-American mutual defense, a project thoroughly approved by most Britons despite the strange noises we sometimes hear from their minorities.

Dr. Willard F. Libby, 51, of the University of California at Los Angeles, a former member of the U. S. Atomic Energy Com mission, was awarded the chem istry prize for devising the atom ic time clock. This is a method through which scientists, by checking on the de cay and disappearance of radio active carbon 14 from such ob jects as parchment, charcoal, stone or pottery, can fix the dates of ancient events—give or take several centuries. Dr. Donald A, Glaser, 34, of the University of California, was the other American winner. Other Nobel prizes went to Saint-John Perse, French poet and former diplomat, for litera ture, and Sir Frank MacFarlane Burnet of Australia and Dr. Pe ter Brian Medawar of Britain for medicine. For the 17th time, the peace prize is being withheld. All the winners will be invited to Stockholm to receive, their checks, medals and diplomas from King Gustav VI at tradi tional ceremonies Dec. 10.
