Local fans will be glad to see the Orangeville team again. Maple will play Orangeville at Orangeville on Tuesday night, July 27 and they play Osweken Indians on Friday, July 3-0, at the local Sports Bowl. Maple At Newmarket Maple defeated Newmarket on Joe Cornelia was also outstanding for the visitors. He scored no less than four goals and played a brill- iant game going both ways. Maple played well as a team and displayed brilliant passing at times. Loose fielding cost them the game. Stars For Orangeville Orangeville displayed a slmv pass: ing game backed up by dogged checking. The'GilIespie brothers led most of their attacks and they made a great job of it. They both are clever stick handlers and have hard, deadly shots. Jim Jones was very good at cen- ter. He worked like a beaver and scored one goal on a bullet-like shot. Jim Cherree was another bright light for Maple. He scored two goals and was always dangerous. Stars For Maple The best man for M‘aplle was Stan Foster. He checked well and scored three goals. Stan has now scored twenty-one goals and leads his team in points. The Maple team played well and a few breaks might easily have chang- ed the score. Orangeville’s one big advantage was their ability to ga- ther in loose balls and take advan- tage of them. In the first period they scored three goals to the blue shil‘ts’ one, and two of these were on loose plays by Maple. Checking by both sides was very close. There were no solo efforts in the thirteen goals. There were only a few pen- alties and they were all minor of- fences. Gaining an early lead on clever playing, they managed never to alâ€" ]ow the Maple team anything more than even terms and that for only a few minutes in the final period. Orangeville Defeats Maple 7-6 Visiting Green Shirts Defeat Locals In A Well Played Game Orangeville Greenshirts served no- tice to local fans that they are the team to beat for the title. Sport News And Comments From The Maple District Pschophysical tests from a pag't of the drivaxfl tx'ajniggng‘aoggggwnpwf 31‘th available in Cgmada through the Un- iversity of Toronto. When these During the past year more than 12,000 drivers and would-be drivers throughout Ontario have taken} ser- ies of tests which indicate their men- tal and physical suitability for driv- ing. They have taken these tests through the courtesy of John Labatt Limited, London, which imported driver training from the United States. Car drivers of Richmond Hill and district who have never before had an opportunity to test their capacity for driving will be able to learn Mon- day, August 2nd, just how good they really .are hehind a. wheel. The Lions Club Will make it possible for them to know that they see well at night, that they react quickly in an emergency â€"â€" in short to know both the good and the bad in their abilities to drive safely. VOL LXX LIONS HORSE 0NDAY SAFE DRIVING TESTS THE HOME PAPER OF THE DISTRICT SINCE 1878 After they spotted Elm Park a 4- run lead they combed the visitors for a 12 to 6 win. Led by the vet- eran Clark Archibald, they battled back gamely. Archibald relieved the tired but game Gordon Orr in the fifth inning and held the visitors in check. Then he proceeded to knock visiting pitching all over the lot. McDonald, Winters and Jennings also looked very good. Sproule, their new first basemen looks like a real prospect. “Ken” Richards looked like the perfect “rookie.” He is a big powerful lad with good eyes and with a little experience in fielding, he should make a great ball player. BASEBALL VKing City Defeats Elm Park ’The King City team have no Wal- kers, Folliots, or Kyles in the lineâ€" up this year. They have a green bunch of lads and they may be a litâ€" tle short of championship form, but the fans of this great baseball vill- age are all for them. King has ‘had some great teams in the past and as long as they support a team like they do, it is only natural that the boys wearing the “Lake Marie” sweaters will give their best and championships result. I suggest that some of the bigger towns take King as an example. They could have had outside help to replace the Kyle brothers and other stars they lost this year, but they are using a bunch of local youngsters and getting re- sults. Hefi'ner was their outstanding player. This boy would look good on any team. He never gives up trying, but then, all the ‘Red Shirts’ are like that. Newmarket tried hard but they have too many inexperienced playâ€" ers. They deserved credit for their sportsmanship. They could fold up like a lot of teams under such circum- stances would, but it looks as if they will finish'vthe schedule and I hope they do. Thursday 'night at Newmarket by the score of 12 to 1. Maple were slow to get going, but settled down in the last two periods and gave the few fans a clever display. Roy Thompson 3, Gord Orr 2, were the leading poina getters for Maple. All tesm will be analyzed by train- ed Labatt personnel to indicate to .hishsmopg- and his weak ‘points, and his overall rating as a driver. This machinery has toured the province, making the greater numâ€" ber of its appearances at fall Iaivs where young and old, drivers stood in line to take the tests. The Lions Club is sponsoring its appearance here at the Horse Show and Carnival on Monday, August 2nd. tests in exhibits at the London In- dustrial Fair and the Canadian Na- tional Exhibition proved so popular that all spectators could not be test- ed in the time available, Labatt’s de- cided to take the tests throughout the province wherever there was a request for them. The Company had built to specification a huge trailer which was fitted with the testing equipment and with a generator to light the trailer and to operate the testing machinery. . Residents from the North Yonge St. area have gone on record at re- cent ratepayers’ meetings as object- ing to proposals that the present raâ€" dial line be replaced by diesel bus service. “The decision was prompted by a report on metropolitan transporta- tion made for the Toronto and York planning board by N. D. Wilson, transportation expert,” Reeve Mit- chell said. “That report recommend- ed that many suburban lines be ta- ken over and run in conjunction with a system for the Greater Toronto ar- ea. We want to have time to con- sider all the points of the report be- fore we make any decision.” _ The reeve said councillors voted unanimously in favor of asking for an extension of the contract. No change will be 'made this year in the operation of the North Yonge St. radial cars, providing the T.T.C. accepts a proposal made by the four municipalities concerned. Reeve George H. Mitchell, North York township, announced this week fol- lowing a meeting of membehs of municipal representatives of North Yonge municipalities. Reeve Mitchell said that at a meeting of councillors from N. York, Markham, Vaughan townships and Richmond Hill villars,‘ it was decided to inform the ’1‘.T.C. the municipalities favor a one-year extension of an agreemnt which ex- pired last Saturday. Radials have been operating under this agreement since 1931.

HAROLD MURPHY RICHVALE (MR Charity The manner in which the campaign for donations will be carried out will be discussed at the next regular meeting of the ratepayers' Associa- in the community in order that work can be speeded up by the purchase of all necessary materials. The pro- gram would insure the building be- ing snug and secure for the coming winter, protecting the work which has aheady been done and giving the community a much needed social centre, realizing the hopes and plans of the many people who are striving to make the Richvale Community Hall a reality. Orchids are extended to the build- ing committee, whose task it is to build the Richvale Hall, for the man- ner in which their limited funds have been stretched to carry them so far along in their building program. While considerable sums have been raised in the past several months, adding to the original fund, the ma- jority of monies has been expend- ed by purchase of materials. It is now felt that the time is” at hand for an appeal to the community who will be served by the hall. The sum to complete the exterior of the hall, install heating and electric facilities is not a very large one; however, as time is getting to be a major prob- lem, the building committee feels that rather than continue paying as they go with the proceeds from on- tertainments and such which would involve a great deal of time, that in- stead the money be raised if possible Weekly News Notes The dance will be an open air af- fair on the concrete which has been given a fine finish for the occasion. Modern and old tyme dancing will be the oi‘der of the evening with plenty of elbow room to swing your partner. Everyone will be made welcome. The proceeds will be used to augment the building fund. Richvale Community Hall will be the scene of much revelry on Friday, August 13th, \vhen the entertain- ment committee of- the East Vau- ghan Ratepayers' Asosciation will take pleasure in christening the floor of their proposed hall with a dance Clifford Loaeh, 81 Craigfiurst Ave., Toronto, who on being informed by telephone of his good fortune admit- tedihg gqmplet elyflfiprgothggW¢ ing the lucky ticket some weekshgo.

The lucky. winner was From Richvale District ADVERTISING IN GETS RESULTS THE LIBERAL The ‘mystery bout of the evening saw Tom Cooney Jr. of Richvale, step into the ring with instructor “Red” Garner for a fast 10 minute workout. Cooney handled himself well and appeared to be an up and coming contestant. The- semi-final saw Billy James of Weston go down in defeat to Ernie Hughson, Toronto, who succeeded in getting the count for two straight falls. The preliminaries gave vic- tories to Bob Kirkland over Chuck Adams after 18 minutes of very fast and clever wrestling and.also to Duncan Simpson from Jackie Cooper after 20 minutes of grappling. That well known referee. Jim Simpson of- ficiated in the ring. Excitement and thrills proved to be the order of the evening and there were more than a few hoarse throats next morning from the ef- fort of all the cheering. In the main event “Red” Garner emerged victor over Harvey Stanfield by taking two out of three falls. In this bout Stan- field aroused the fans when he re- sorted to illegal tactics, however, their ire was appeased when Garner after a series of flying tackles lit- erally pounded his opponent into submission. Residents who are not yet mem- bers of the association are urged to attend and obtain membership as it is the earnest desire that the assoc- iation eventually becomei strong enough to be a voice in municipal affairs to the betterment of the demv ocratic way of living. Excitement In Quantity Richmond Hill Arena shook to the thump of flying bodies last week when that Pied Piper of Richvale, the children’s idol “Red” Garner presented his second wrestling ex- hibition in aid of the Richvale hall.
