Sr. Center News
Dear Editor and Citizens of Palacios,
This letter is an appeal to the people of Palacios.
We have a group of people trying very hard to keep a
Babe Ruth Baseball League going for our boys.
There are more boys becoming interested every day.
We are needing the support of the parents of the
kids, and the people of this town. I realize you have
to work with everyone to make a go of it, but why
should the youth always come out in second place.
They have a right to their baseball as much as the
adults. It's up to the adults to set a good example for
our kids. Let's teach them good sportsmanship and
responsibility. If we adults think only of ourselves,
we will set a selfish example for the youth of the
community.
Mrs. Irene Mangum

the council can assist.

as stated in the above
areas only.
