Unity RIEHMGND HELL JUVENILES WEN AT STflUFFVELLE Play Aurora Here Friday Night Fresh from a 5-2 victory over the fast Stouffville crew, Richmond Hill V8 juveniles meet Aurora in a sche- dule game here Friday night and the fixture is sure to draw a good crowd and a thrilling game is assured the fans. Tuesday night the local lads hit their stride to win from Stouffville by_a 5-2 score and they displayed a brand of hockey believed by their supporters to be good enough to win for them group honors. Norm Tay- lor opened the scoring for the locals after ten minutes of play with Joe Morris getting the assist. Five min- utes later “Willie” Beresford drove another counter into the nets, Joe Morris again “being on the assisting end. This goal came when Elgin Barrow was cooling his heels in the penalty box. Stouffville tried hard to make the score board but the smart goalâ€"tending of Frank Carr discouraged their efforts and the first period ended 2-0 in favor of Richmond Hill. The second period opened fast and after two minutes of play “Willie” Beresford on a solo rush scored for the Hill. Checking became a little heavier in this period and Ron Lunau Was sent off with a Stouffville lad for roughing it up a bit. The Hill back ghecking was very effective and the local defence turned in an ex- cellent performance. As a result the period end-ed 3-0 for Richmond Hill. h The final stanza was hard fought from the opening bell to the last second. After three minutes of play J. Brockbank scored, Norm Taylor getting the assist. Two minutes Iat- er Stoufl'ville came back with their first goal of the night and seven minutes later made their total two. Three minutes ’before the end of the game Broekbank again scored for the Hill with Beres‘ford getting the as- sist, and the game ended 5-2 for the V8’s. A large crowd witnessed the game and it was generally agreed that every member of the local team turn- ed in a fine game. We hope there will the a large crowd of fans on hand for the home game here Friâ€" day night with the fast travelling Aurora youngsters. The play will start at 8.30 but the main attraction will have as a preliminary a Town Midget game which in itself will be worth the price of admission. Turn out Friday night and support the local youngsters. DANCE AT VELLORE FRIDAY NIGHT The dance and euchre under the auspices of Vellore Old Boys will be held in the Memorial Hall‘ Friday evening, January 27th. received kindly recognition, she be- ing presented with a Morocco leathâ€" er hand bag the gift. of several mem- bers of the society. The secretary, too, received from the Toronto Horticultural Society “a diploma of merit" through Mr. L. Godson, president of Toronto Hortiâ€" cultural Society and district director for York Cbunty. In closing the report the secreâ€" tary remarlqs that the s0ciety has had a busy year with always some- thing to plan for and do, the con: venti‘on, the National Flower’Show, our own three shows, the park seats, constant work in season with prem- iums, the sprayer and on the park and boulevard, lastly the {bridge party. We have on hand a good financial balance [but certainly with next year’s developments this will be greatly reduced. Our membership declined considerably for individual solicitaticn'seems neccssary to keep up our members. This is deplorable but calls on the directorate for great- er effort in this regard. We still hope for larger interest that will increase attendance at our regular meetings. We enter the new year with con- fidence and I hope with enthusiasm as this year is the 25’5h year of our organization. Perhaps we might cele- brate lour silver jubilee by making it the banner year of the society. MARY HUME, RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, JANUARY 26th, 1939. ', In Non-essentials.
