Outdoorsmen Take 1960 Championship
Amidst a jubilant throng of
about 70 fans the Kodiak Outdoors
men Little League baseball team
downed the Naval Station Red Sox
2-1 to clinch the 1960 local cham
pionship.
In the first game of a best two
out-of-three series the Outdoors
men journeyed to the NS field,
where before about 40 fans the
Red Sox dropped a 4-1 game. The
game was called by umpire D.
Gloria after 514 innings due to
darkness. Outdoorsmen pitcher
Don Robthson gave up only one
hit which accounted for the Sox
lone tally. Sox hurler Bruce An
drews allowed the Outdoorsmen
to rack up 5 hits, one of which was
a first inning over-the-fence 4-bag
ger by slugger Jerry Markham. In
the fourth inning with one away
the Red Sox threatened with men
on second and third. Robinson bore
down and the next two batters to
face him struck out.
With one win under their belt
the Outdoorsmen readied the in
town field to receive the Red Sox.
With the score 1-0 for 514 innings,
Sox batter Bruce Andrews lashed
a single to drive in Mark Huber
tying the score. With the Outdoors
men at bat in the last of the sixth
and the score tied, 2nd baseman
Mickey Turner walked and was
followed by moundsman Dick
Veerman. With runners on second
and first Outdoorsmen third sacker
Don Robinson smacked the game
and championship winning hit,
driving in Turner and Veerman.
Winning pitcher for the trium
phant Outdoorsmen was Dick Veer
man, giving up only 3 hits and 2
walks while striking oi^t 16 Red
Sox batters.
League president Curly Wilson
stated: “The season was very suc
cessful and the work accomplished
by the hard working managers,
coaches, mothers and fathers was
outstanding. I think everyone will
agree with me when I say that the
most outstanding contribution
made by one person was by League
Secretary Charles “Mac” McIntyre.
Besides the piles of paper work
needed to keep the league running
smoothly, Mac found time to man
age the Bears, organize and assist
in the construction of the Kodiak
Little League field, plus being a
general all round umpire and sign
painter. I would also like at this
time to congratulate our new
champs for this season, the Kodiak
Outdoorsmen. A very special con
gratulations to the Outdoorsmen
manager Bill Leistner and his fine
coaching staff of Leonard Turner,
Art Evans and Leo DeGraw.”

Youth Urged To
Remain In School
The U. S. Department of Labor,
in cooperation with hundreds of
organizations throughout the coun
try, is urging young people to stay
in school and complete their edu
cation. Along with the U. S. Office
of Education, the Department of
Defense, and others, the Labor
Department is directing its annual
nationwide appeal to youngsters,
their parents, and community lead
ers, as the fall semester ap
proaches.
To the 10-million boys and girls
who are now 14 to 17 years old,
the Department points out the ob
stacles which those who do not
graduate from high school will
face. A major problem is that drop
outs have difficulty getting any
job at all because there are fewer
unskilled jobs available. The com
petition for jobs is tougher today
because more young people are
high school graduates. The non
graduates have to search longer
for work. For those who do land a
job, the salary isn’t as good and
job promotions are slower.
New knowledge, new skills, more
adaptability, and greater flexibility
are being required of young work
ers today. Increasingly, employers
are demanding that job applicants
have high school diplomas. The
odds of getting the kind of begin
ning job a youngster hopes for are
3 to 1 in favor of those who hold
such a diploma.
Despite these facts, 1 out of 3
of the boys and girls enrolled in
high school drop out before gradu
ation.
New developments in the profes
sions, in automation, electronics,
and precision machinery will accel
erate the trend towards more jobs
for the educated and skilled, and
fewer opportunities for the un
skilled.
Industry now needs 1 engineer
for every 40 workers. In 1900, the
ratio was 1 for 400 workers. For
every professionally trained engi
neer, industry needs, on the aver
age, a crew of five trained tech
nicians. There is a continuing
urgent need for more doctors, more
college trained nurses, teachers,
natural scientists and engineers.
For those who wish to take profes
sional or advanced training, a high
school diploma is a minimum re
quirement; in some cases, college
work or even a degree is needed.
Various studies have demonstrat
ed that in the long run an educa
tion pays for itself. One such in
quiry, for example, revealed that
by the time a man reaches his peak
earning period—roughly 45 to 54
years of age—the high school grad
uate makes 27 per cent more than
the man who completed only the
eighth grade. Each year in school
yields an additional return in

yearly income received. This is es
pecially true of the graduate. A
diploma brings a double reward.
For example, each year of high
school through the 11th grade adds
$238 in annual income; the 12th
grade adds $466. The typical high
school graduate during his adult
earning years will receive $49,000
more than the eighth grade gradu
ate and $30,000 more than the high
school dropout.
Recently, the Institute of Life
Insurance reported that a man
with a grade school education can
expect a lifetime income of $178,
000; the average high school gradu
ate can expect to earn $243,000;
and a college degree raises the
average total to $247,000.
