Little The {iChmond Hill Public Library Board is engrossed these days will: plans for a new and improde loca- tion for the library. If the addition to the public school is completed by September the room downstairs in the municipal hall. for- merly used as a Classroom will be available for library purposes. Interesting improvements are conâ€" templated, and work will be. started by Mr. C. H. Sanderson as soon as assurance is given that the room's usefulness as a classroom is over. In the. near future, it is planned to construct a south entrance to this room, which is considerably larger than the old one, and it is hoped that something will be done to beautify the surrounding grounds. The board has arranged for a large picture window and also a door to be cut in the south wall, the latter to give access to an office for the librarâ€" ian and possibly a Story room for the children. The room as it is today needs a new ceiling, a plywood floor on which to lay linoleum or tiie, new lighting, partial replastcring and complete reâ€" decorating. The finished project will mean a really attractive library and reading room, and what is more important than anything else, there will be no longer any leg-aching stairs to climb. Undoubtedly the number of library patrons will greatly increase on this account alone. As to funds -â€" the Women's In- stitute has promised help; the library treasury has a limited sum at its disposal, and a provincial grant for constructive work on libraries am- ounts to $200. The Library Board hopes that fur- ther financial help will be forthcom- ing from those enlifiiteug‘; LQM' ‘ns of the village, who realize how much an attractive and up-to-date library adds to the cultural life of a community. It is posisble that a donor will he found for the new south window, an- other for the floor-covering, another for the lighting. How interested are you in the fu- ture of your library? Boys Grain Club Meet at Unionville A very quiet organization, the York County Boys Glain Club, last week met in the Unionville Hall for another of their informative meet- ings. These boys lack the publicity generally given to calf clubs but do excellent work and are to be espec- ially congratulated on tne fact that although they are mostly in their teens they drive as much as twenty miles to attend one of these meetâ€" ings. Last week with President Bob Hamilton and Secretary Glen Atkinâ€" son both of Scihoniberg, the lecture portion of the evening was spent on the smuts of grains and many 0; these boys could vie with their parâ€" ents on the knowledge they have of these crop diseases. How to take soil samples was another of the sua- jects discussed. Just lately the Asâ€" sistant Representative, Archie Mc- kenzie, has been around scoring tn~ boys standing crop of oats in the field and mentioned that on the aVPr- age these crops were looking very well and that many of the boys bad convinced their parents of the mcr~ its of their variety. The evening concluded with the judging of two classes of grain and reasons were taken and an .ofliicial placing given by Ray Ingleton of Agincourt, a former outstanding club boy, and this year’s club leader. On the evening’s club work, Don Fieldhouse of Wood- bridge was top judge with a perfec‘é score on placings. A pleasant social pcuiod followed to the accompaniâ€" ment of ice cream and soft drinks. compliments of the sponsoring or- Q'anization, the York County Junior Farmers. MA Y REPLACE SWITCH ES North Yonge Street municipalities, owners of the Radial line have asked the T.T.C. for an estimate of the cos. of replacing switches at stops five and eight.

Stars For Indians Indians gave a clever display. They showed great improvement over their And UnderstiuenaLhuRthWs- .melast, mimzn‘emnsbonwwamaa Much For Them AT ORANGEVILLE Orangeviile T'Maple 6 Taking a two-goal lead in the first period, although minus three of their regular players, Maple looked very promising in the game at Orange- ville. They faded in the second and third periods and were on the short end of a 6-3 count at the end of the third. In the final stanza, after Orange- 'ille had added one more goal to their lead, Maple took over and drove the Green Shirts back untli it look- ed as if they would tie the SCOl'c. The last rush of the game by Gor- don Orr just missed by inches. The play throughout was Very good. There were only a few penae- ties and Maple put on a great display although they were badly short- handed. Stars For Maple Stan Foster was a great offensive threat. His final goal was a mas- terpiece. He scored with three of the opposition draped around him. Gordon Orr played a steady driv- ing game. He scored one goal and carried the play for the “blue shirts” when they tired in lthe second and third periods. Jim Jones and Ken White also were outstanding for the Maule cause. Jones outran the whole Orangeville team on his late goal, and worked hard at all times. Ken White played the entire game. He scored one goal on a blazing shot and made the road very tough for the opposition. Stars For Orangeville The “green shirts" continued to oass the ball as they did on their last appearance in Maple. Some of their pasing plays were beautiful to watch. Joe Comeba, Wilson and. the Gillespie brothers starred for the Or- angeville squad. GAME AT MAPLE Indians 9'Maple 6 Although they were strengthened for this game, Maple gave. a loose display in the first two periods, which gave the clever Indians a chance to take a lead which they never delin- quished. They did come back strong in the third period, but they could not reduce the lead of the visitors. In the fourth period, they contin- ued to drive in on the visitors goal, but loose ball handling spoiled their chances and the Indians added to their lead. Maple tried hard. but loose play spoiled their chances. There were a few fiare~ups in this encounter, but nothing of a serious nature resulted. Stars For Maple There were no outstanding stars f0 Maple. They all tried hard and most potent scorer with three goals. Comments It is a pleasure to watch the Maple team now, as they file into their dressing room after losing a hard fought game. They could have easily won the game at Ol‘angeville with a few breaks, but they figured that the better team won, and made no alibis, and found no fault with the officiat- ing. They have grown up. Short handed and badly on the limp at times, they always give their best. They may not win any championship this year, but I believe they have gained much in their recent defeats. It is this fine attitude of athletes, that inspired the immortal words â€" For when the One Great Scorer comes To write against your name, He counts not whether you won or lost, But how you played the game. These words may well be rememâ€" bered by every athlete, whether he is representing his country at the Oly- mpic games or some small unknown village or town. MIDGET LACROSSE Maple Midgets defeated Concord in a game on Thursday night 13-0. The young fellows that took part in the game served notice that Maple can look to the future for many years and have no shortage of good play- ers. Maple loaned the Concord team several players as the visitors were short handed. Goal scorers were Bob Cherrie 4, Willie Cherrie 2, Len Bone 2, Pete Jones 2, Albert Orr 2, Frank Harrow 1. Bruce Jones and George Miller are going to form a midget house league and would like any boy sixteen years or under, in the Maple district to turn out for practice on Monday, August 9th and Wednesday, August 11th. The Maple district includes King, Richvale, Edgeley, Concord, Hope, Vellore, etc. BASEBALL A few years ago, small places like Teston, Hope, King Ridge, Vellore, etc., had football teams and the fen- ows seemed to get a big kick out of playing. Now. with a splendid ath- letic field in Maple, there is nothing played except lacrosse. It would he better if some activity was going on in the park. We have to pay to have the weeds cut and tramping them would serve just as well. The M.R.A. has enough baseball equipment to start a league or say a few friendly games for this year. If any Sunday School teachers would like to arrange games between the various classes of the above mention- ed places, I would he very glad to help you out. If you are interested in this proposition, phone Mila Mill- er at Maple No. 2. was won by Mrs. G. Campbell, John out the afternoon and evening and the refreshment booths dispensed thousands of hot dogs. sandwiches, hot and cold drinks. In the arena many hundreds danced to music by Russ Creighton and his orchestra. The La‘batt truck featuring safe driving tests was a popular and in- structive attraction and during the afternoon and evening 168 persons were tested. President Dick Edmunds, Chairman Russell Lynett and other Lions who worked hard in preparation for the event and into the early hours of Tuesday expressed themselves as well satisfied with the results, and grate- ful to the people of the district for their generous patronage.

After a slow, sluggish start, the game deâ€" veloped in a splendid encounter. Un- like the two previous meetings be- tween these two teams, Maple gave ground shortly after the game start- ed, but continued to improve as the game progressed. Itxwas not a rough game, but there was too much stick work, which did not help matters. Stars for Maple Foremost in the Maple attack was Stan Foster with three clever goals. He took a lot of unnecessary punish- ment along with Roy Thompson. Checking does not mean chopping. Gordon Orr, who is one of the most valuable players in the league, scored the winning goal. He also 'checkea‘ well and slowed down the opposition’s attack. Al McNair returned to the Maple line-up and gave a good steady dis- play. Stars For Woodbridge “Bill Anthony" was the best man for Woodbridge. He played a steady hard checking game and set up many dangerous plays. Roy Castator is still a grand play- er to watch. He played a fine game going both ways. Carso on the defense slowed the Maple forwards down, with his rug- ged defnese work.
