With three weeks to go until the regular schedule starts, almost all 40 teams (24 last year) have coaches and assistants. There were so many teams getting in an extra practice on Saturday morning, some were forced to leave the Thornhill Green area to find some room. Over 500 boys and .TRUTH by Ruth Montgomery. girls have registered for the North Thornhill League, and 120 in the South, for a total softball program of 620, increased from 384 at The Town of Markham has age units at Baythorn and the 16 new teams.

Public Library System Books 'On The Occult Recent interest in the occult has both spread and deepened. Perhaps it is not surprising that in an age when Man’s tremen- dous discoveries about the nat- ure of outer space have solved so few of the problems that urgently matter to human be- ings, many people are hoping that an investigation into the truths of mankind’s “inner space” will show a way from bewilderment and frustration to insight and power. The Thorn- hill Public Library has a re- markable collection of books on all types of supernatural exper- ience. GHOSTS I HAVE KNOWN by- Eileen Sonin. A cheerful, al- most folksy group of stories about encounters with ghosts. Most of the encounters are the author’s own but she includes a few supernatural adventures re- lated to her by others.

LIVELY GHOSTS OF IRE- LAND by Hans Holzer. The famed ghost hunter works with a sensitive medium to investi- gate spectral appearances in a country where even the spirits have an unusually vivid sense of the dramatic. THE SEARCH FOR BRIDEY MURPHY by Morey Bernstein.

STUDENT POWER "It comes to this, that all change â€" whether in oursel- ves or in society â€" begins in our attitudes. Then the change in attitude will generally find some small beginning for ex- pression. “Some of our students are bitten by the urge for ‘student power.’ “I said to some of them the other day, ‘It isn’t enough to say to me that you want power. I would like to know what you are going to do with the power. At the moment you have the power to do a tremendous num- ber of things, which you aren’t even trying to do. Perhaps if you getvsome of them done, your demand for power will fall on more sympathetic ears. “ ‘For example, you have been talking for four years about making a Japanese garden in the courtyard.
