The locals have 3 games to play in the group race and must win twice from Bolton and once from Aurora to be tied for honors. Both games this week were at the local arena and were fast and hard fought. The attendance was only fair, and the fine brand of hockey 'certainly merited a‘much larger patâ€" ronage. However, the fans are well pleased with the Young Canadians, and future games will no doubt have a capacity house audience. Wednesday, for practically the first time this year there was an excellent sheet of ice, and hockey fans are hop- ing for a continuance of real Winter weather. Richmond Hill line up was goal, Hiprave; defence, “Rusty” White, “Curly” Lynett: centre, “Ken- ny" Greatrix; wings, Pears and Ever- ton; subs, McMillan, Findlay, Blake- man and Boulter. McMillan, fast Richmond Hill for- ward, was delayed in reaching Wed- nesday night’s game owing to a car break down. He did not get in the game until the final period. Had he been there for the full game the re- sult might have been different. simmléwzzand “MARRY ME” OUR GANG COMEDYâ€" BIRTHDAY BLUES LEE TRACY and , LUPE VELEX in Half N: SOILERS TODD 81 PITTS Richmond Hill T.H.L. team lost to Unionville in a schedule game here, Tuesday night, by a score of 2â€"1.

Trench and the games committee have arranged a number of good games. According to the Orillia Newsletter, Orillia will not have as strong a senâ€" ior Lacrosse team as in 1932, that is unless new material looms on the horizon. They have lost two valu- able players “Doc” Price and Norvell Hubbell and it is said two other vet- eran players will retire. In fact, it is possible Orillia may not have a senior team at all next year, says the Newsletter. If such is true it is re- grettable, as Orillia could always be depended on to field a strong team and were always in the running somewhere near the silverware. How- ever. a lot of things can happen be- fore May lst, and unless we miss our guess Orillia will be right there with the goods when the lacrosse season opens "YORK COUNTY’S NEWSIEST NEWSPAPER” MATINEE DAILY at 2.30 p. m.

The controversy , be~ tween the partisan of the two great Canadian games in never ending and is largely a matter of opinion. Those who witnessed the Aurora~Richmond Hill hockey games here this week might be justified in claiming the speed and action crown for hockey. However, on the general run, accord- ;ing to the crowds who attend in this district, lacrosse would seem the more Ipopular. ‘ A group of followers of hockey are firm in their belief that no sport can rival ice-hockey for rpeed, pointing out that average skaters are able to move faster than even the fastest runners. This gives hockey the ver- dict they claim. It failed to convince a number of la- ‘ crosse fans, however. They admit hockey is “the next fastest,” but don’t believe it quite rivals the speed of the National game. Here’s the argument of one box-lacrosse fan: “Speed in a ‘game such as hockey and lacrosse is la matter of the time it takes the ball ior puck to travel from one end of the rink tothe other. While hockey play- ers move slightly faster, the direct forward pass without zones gives box- lacrosse the advantage. In lacrosse the ball can be zipped from the de- fense to the attack in less time than it takes to tell, while in hockey the puck must be carried over the attack- ling zone which slows its progress.” Musical Farmer And then up in Orillia this winter they are playing lacrosse on skates. whether it will go or not we do not know, but it is being tried. To us it would look like a plan of the insur- ance companies to boost the rates, for from the viewpoint of danger of in- jury, lacrosse on skates sounds like a dangerous combination. No doubt it would ‘be fast and thrilling, but it would seem players would be taking ong chances in engaging in such a sport. And following the story that Orillia may not have a senior lacrosse team next season we notice another item in the Orillia paper which states that “Weenie” Arsenault has already start- ed training for next year and is doing six rounds of the track and the oval every morning. “Weenie’s” slogan for next year is “better and faster lacrossei” HIGH SCHOOL NOTES On Tuesday, Feb. 7th, the R.H.H. S. Girls scored their second victory of the season over Newmarket with a score of 22-17. The first half of the game was rather slow, but it became a little more exciting during the sec- ond half. The line-up for R.H.H.S. was as follows: Thelma Shields, Mar- garet Buchanan, Margaret Rumble, Jessie Angle, Jean Middleton, Edith Ainslie; subs: Audl‘ie Patrick, Ruth Angle, Isabel Ball, Margaret Carr.

ONTARIO THURSDAY.»FEBL9tk,1933 VILLAGE TAX RATE IS DOWN FOUR MILLS FOR THE YEAR1933 Rate A reductitm in the tax nate' for 1933 of at least f-bur milIs is: assured the ratepayers of Richmond Hill) This was decided at the regular meeting of the council", herd Monday night, when the estimates for the year were the main item on‘ the agenda. The rates by-law Was completed with the exâ€" ception: of‘ the one blank concerning the county rate. It was thought that a reduction in county levy sufficient to allow a flux-that reduction of one mill was, possible- and' the memfiers at the conclusion of Mondays meeting were hopeful of 3‘49 mill rate; which wofizld have been a reduction of five mills over last year. However, it appears that the anticipated reduc- tion in the county failed to materialâ€" ize and the county rate will be the same as last year, with a slight re- duction to Richmond Hill, owing to a revision of assessment. Council will meet this week to cum- plete the by-l‘aw and the total rate will probably be fifty millé, or forty-nine and a fraction. The reduction in the requisition of the Board of Education for Public and High School Maintenance amount- ing to $1,000.00 for both schools ac- counted for a reduction in school rates. Reeve Greene and members of finance committee met previous to‘ the regular meeting of council when all estimates were carefully consid- ered and every possible saving made and every possible source of revenue considered. The estimates were care- fully pared to allow this substantial reduction in rate, but it is worthy of note that the estimates for roads and sidewalks this year amounted to $2,000.00 while last year the amount set aside for this department was only $1,500.00. Following the adoption of the es- timates, Reeve Greene urged all the heads of the departments to make a real effort to keep within the esti- mated expenditure.

Eden; chairman‘of'thc B‘oard‘ ‘ of Education and trustee T. H. Trench: waited on the council‘relative to the caretaking of the room in' theimuni-I cipal building used by the school. By agreement the Board' of Education pays the village $400 per year'f‘or the use of the school'romn and village is to look after heating and caretaking. Mr. Eden pointed out‘ that the school" caretaker had carried' on and the Board would like an understanding regarding his remuneration: H'e sug- gested that the BOard was willing to i accept $150.00 per year for the con- tinuance of the caretakers services. On motion of councillbrs Mills And' Little the offer was accepted; As the agreement now stands, the village re- ceives $400.00 per year rent from the School Board and‘ pays the Board $150.00 per year fer the caretal‘dng- of [the building and' grounds. The deputation also advised the council that following‘the same procedure as last year the village caretaker had} been appointed truant officer for the‘ coming year. Trustee Trench pointed out that the School Board was very anxious that the schoolchildren be guarded while crossing Yonge Street at noon hour. He suggested that if Mr. B'arraclough’ could not. be there every day that possibly other arrange» ments could' be made; Reeve Greene had constable Barra- clough in- attendance and instructed him that it was his duty to see the children across the street every day and that if he couldn’t be there to ar- range to have someone else do it. The Veterans and" Veterans’ Aux- iliary were granted the use ‘of the council chamber for their meetings on the first Tuesday in each month. Reeve Greene reported that the County had offered to pay 5420.00 of the salary of con-stable Barraclough, provided the council was Willing to have him act for the County. The reeve pointed out that under the new arrangement the constable would go out of the. village on duty only on emergency calls, when ordered out by Chief Phillips or the reeve. He said he would not be at the heck and call of everyone and would not be called into the county by private citizens. Councillor Middleton didn’t think this was a satisfactory arrangement. Who is he working for, he said, he has two bosses. We will never know where he is. He may be away for two hours or,tw0 days. If we have our caretaker act as constable when called on we know where he is all the time, and if he’s needed, can al- ways be had. Reeve Greene said that in securing an agreement for the county to pay $420.00 of the salary he felt he was working in the best interests of the ratepayers, but the matter was enâ€" tirely in the hands of the council. If you don’t want him to act as a county constable and want him for caretaker and constable in the Village only, I want you to decide, said Reeve Greene. It was moved by pouncillor Mills that the council accept the proposal of the county provided the village re- ceives‘in writing that the constable is not to go out of the village only in. an emergency case or on the order of Chief Phillips or Reeve Greene. This was seconded by councillor Little, but later the motion was withdrawn fol- lowing fui'ther discussion and the de- cision of the question was laid over until next meeting. In the mean- time the Reeve will secure the county offer in writing. Councillor Middleton said that Mr. Barraclough coudn’t| be caretaker, constable and county constable. Reeve Greene said, possibly not in the summer, but that he could for five months of the year. Councillor Mills thought it might be good business to have two men for the Things. Chm-ifv ” two jobs. It wouldn’t cost mueh'monew' in the long run, he said, and it would give another man a job. a Councillor Little said he couldn’t‘tbel county constable and caretaker. Councillor McLean said'thatf the county pgying $420.00 and considering the revenue from fines that the con- stable, even as a. full time offi‘c'er'; would not be costing the vill'age very much. The revenue ffom fihES‘laSt year was $700.00. CouncilIdr McLean thought that arrangement was not tou bad, but last year it waS‘costing'vboev‘i much. The regular meeting offit.
