Local Kiwanians Invite Participation In Plan To Promote Pee Wee Baseball Roseburg Kiwanis Club first vice president lildon F. Caloy today said persons in the outlying areas (outside the Koseburg city limits) who wish to help develop a means of participation in the Pee Wee baseball program for boyi in their areas are urged to meet with hi wanis officials. Interested parties may contact Caley for an appointment to dis cuss the program with the Kiwanis. It was announced Thursday the program would have to be cur tailed unless financial support from the outlying areas could be obtain ed. The program will center around children who live in the city, be cause the bulk of the funds, about $2,000, have been donated by the city. Announcement of the impending curtailment came after the Rose i burg School Budget Committee vot ed against holding a special elec tion to determine if the schools should offer financial support to the program this year, tentative plans were made by the School ; Hoard, however, to put the is- jsue of summer recreation up for election next year. I The School Board last year pro vided $4,200 for the program, but ! decided to withdraw its support this year because it was not sure the schools should spend money al located for school activities on non school recreation. The Kiwanis Club is left in Ihe position of wanting to include as many boys as possible in the pro gram, but not having enough funds to continue on the scale of last year's program. The 1962 program featured eight fields of play, taking in over 600 boys and costing some $7,000. Including the grant of $900 in salary for an administrator made by the School Hoard Wednesday night, the Kiwanis have less than $4,000 for tins year s program.
