New Stock Car Racing Season Begins Friday The second period was one of very close checking and lots of end to end rushes, with no damage done at either end. Penalties were to J. Browning of Elna for charg- ing and to Fierheller and Foster of Edgeley for tripping. In the third period, Earl Law tied the game up from J. Jackson. Ken Jackson. assisted by Lloyd Thompson, added another goal. With an assist from Roy Thomp- son, Ken Jackson put Elia two 'Edgeley took the initiative in the first period and seemed to have Elia disorganized. B. Murchison took-a pass from Norm Bagg and sank it, Mart. Hedges got a break- away to make it two to nothing. J. Jackson carried up ice for Elia passed to E. Law who drew the de- fence over and passed back to J. Jackson who scored. The only penalty went to J. Follows of Edgeley for grabbing the puck. In Woodbridge Memérial Arena on Friday night, Elia took the series in a 6-3 win over Edgeley.

It goes to the driver with the most points over the sea,- son. Can Brioux win it again? The beginning of the answer to that question will be answered Good Friday at the CNE. Afer Hamilton convinced civic and CNE officials that the Grand- stand should be utilized for other than the two weeks of the Ex, close to $50,000 was spent on an asphalt track. Then followed the building of a cinder track for the track and field gang â€" and since, the fans have justified the move. A new addition to the many ev- ents this year will be the “Little Feature." The first-time winners will receive a special award and trophy at each meet. The boys were held together by Morden, who started the sport up on Number seven highway a few years ago. Just when Harley was about to give up the ghost along came exâ€"Con. Fred Hamilton, Ernie Lieberman, Percy Link and Frank Crowe with â€" you guessed it â€" money. However, it costs money to put together a “semi-modified racing stock car" as they are officially called. The average outlay runs from $500 to $2,000. That the sport is here to stay was illustrated by the 400,000 it attracted to Exhibition Park in its inaugural year â€" 1952. Plans call for matinees on successive Satur- days â€" April 11 and 18 â€" and then the stoxmen revert to their regular Tuesday and Friday’night affairs. The latter commence on the Queen’s Birthday, April 21. Although people of every age are addicts of the stocks, the bulk of the crowds are young folks. In fact, you can tell ’em by the spec- ial gadgets they have attached to their own buggies to speed heir getaway from the races. Man to beat is undoubtedly Bri- oux â€"â€" and his Puddicombe Spec- ial. Last season Normie won close to $6,000 which was about two grand more than runnerup Barry accumulated. steady hands, clear heads and eyes as well as rapid reflexes to finish in the money consistently.

Phil Major, Len Hurley and the American aces â€"â€" Buffalo's Tony Occhino and Hugh Darragh plus Syracuse's Charlie Barry ‘â€" to mention a few. Thus ends the semiâ€"finals for this season. The big moment has finally arrived when the two top teams Elia and Ebenezer, will bat- tle it out for the Clarence Gra- ham Trophy, to be awarded to the team winning two games of the next series. ahead. The game then settled down to checking. Fierheller's shot from the blue line was de- flected off A. Jackson’s glove into the net. Time ran out on Edgeley and Elia were victorious 6-3 to win the round 2 games to 1. Penalties to Elia, J. Browning; ‘Edgeley. M. Hedges, P. Bagg and B. Murchi- son. Referees were Clement and Sharpe. With play very even, Edgeley drew a penalty, Earl Law took a pass from J. Sangwin. to score. Seconds later Ken Jackson slap- ped in R. Thompson's rebound. The play became a little more rugged as Elia really worked to maintain their lead and jolted Edgeley for- wards time and time again. flag/mg f). FROM US TUrner 4-1812 Richmond Hill Immunization for schoolage and preschoolage children is being maintained, and regular school ac- tivities carried on. Food Sanitation Increased attention is being paid to milk sanitation on the farms supplying milk to the dairies in the health unit area. Efforts are being made to visit every milk pro- ducing farm, and this involves many miles of travel for the in- spectors because milk comes into the area from points as far away as Cannington on the east, and Bond Head in Simcoe County on the west. Where York County Health Unit borders Dufi'erin and Peel counties, arrangements are made for reciprocal inspections of the producers’ farms by the Duff- erin and Peel County Health Units. Dr. R. M. King of the York County Health Unit reports that the month of‘ February has been occupied by routine activities. School and Preschool Health You and a pal should stand about 30 feet apart. Then toss the ball back and forth at a nice slow and easy pace. When you are throwing, don’t just throw haphaz- ardly, instead, aim at a definite target set by your pal and be sure to have the target moved around each time. Add three feet to the distance between you every day. Then, when you are 60 feet apart, start throwing a little faster every day and spend a few minutes throwing longer distances with a smooth, easy action. However, do not at- tempt to throw anywhere near as fast or as far as you can until you have worked up to 60 feet. You will often be tempted to really blast one down at full speed but â€" don’t do it!! Just control your- self and remember the more pat- ient you are the better your arm will work all year. Don't forget â€" you can save your arm by using your head. Monthly Report Of The York County Health Unit HOW TO AVOID ARM AILMENTS The record book is full of facts and figures that show the large number of baseball players who have ruined their arms completely by not working in their arms prop- erly at the start of the season. Then, too, there are many more who partially ruin their arms even though they are not completely spoiled. Here's a drill which will prepare your arm properly for the coming season and help you avoid those discouraging sore arms. Another point to remember is to make sure you are using an ab- solutely perfect throwing action. Be especially careful to keep your arm very loose and relaxed and also emphasize .the use of a good wrist snap and a long, easy follow- through after the ball has left your hand.

Public health nurse in the west portion of Vaughan Township, attended a course of instruction on maternal health for two weeks during Feb- ruary, provided by the Provincial Health Department and conducted by an outstanding authority on maternal health from the Mater- nity Centre, New York City. Miss Petrie will transmit this instruc- tion to her fellow public health nurses in this Health Unit, and a1 so in the Peel County Health Unit at conferences in the spring. mLA :h, -r-_.b. The increase in and need for health instruction in this area is demonstrated by the number of addresses given by Health Unit staff during February when eight organizations had Health Unit stafi speakers at their meetings. The biggest single health prob- lem in the York County Health Unit, the sanitary disposal of dom- estic waste in areas not served by municipal waste disposal systems, is gradually receiving attention from municipal authorities. Local by-laws intended to assist in su- pervision of septic tank installa- tions have been passed by Mark ham Township, Markham Village, and Richmond Hill. Applications for installation of septic tank and field tile disposal systems are now being submitted to the health unit from these three municipalities. All too frequently permits to erect buildings or to subdivide land are issued without regard to how or where the waste produced on the premises will be disposed of. It‘ is virtually impossible to solve such problems after the buildings are built, and it is hoped that waste disposal plans will be approved before building permits are allow- ed in the future. Health Education u v. us, pasteurization does not change dir- ty milk to clean milk. It is most important that farmers handle milk on farms carefully, and pro- tect it from contamination by keep- ing milk utensils and machinery clean, by keeping the stables clean, and by regular brushing and wip- ing off of cows before milking. Tests of cleanliness in the milk are made before pasteurization, and during February 174 milk speci- mens were tested. If necessary, milk producers will be forbidden to supply milk to dairies if their milk product is not satisfactory. General Sanitation back but if you remember how much harm you can do yourself by letting out too soon you should be able to use your head and do things right. Also remember that the best results are gained when you follow your training schedules right up to the letter. Remember, start slowly and gradually build up. Before-Game Sickness On March 25 Francis Flyers took five points from Ritchie's Roamers to keep their lead with 67 points. In second place are Bell’s Beau- ties with 44 points; Ritchie's Roa- mers third, with 41 points; Floyd’s Flock. fourth with 40 points; Min- er’s Midgets, fifth with 37 points: and Gazey's Groaners sixth with 23 points. A good start is important in all sports. This also applies to pre- season training in track and field. The smart track man doesn‘t go out to the first work-out and try to run his fastest or jump as far as possible. You should do your pre- season conditioning for at least 10 to 14 days before you even think of testing yourself. Before-game sickness is caused by nervous tension. A little bit of it is nothing to worry about. It means that your glands are mak- ing you ready for action by pour- ing out a discharge that will in- crease your physical efficiency. However, too much of it or too much thought given to it are not good things. Remember, if you control it, it is your friend; if you let it run around alone, it can do you harm. When you look across at your opponent's bench with your stomach doing tricks on you, re- member that they are probably feeling exactly the same.

The club bus trip, the luncheon provided by Using a calf club as an example, 4-H Club work is designed to de- velop in the club members, a per- sonal interest and responsibility in having stock of his own. The member develops greater interest in livestock management and pro- duction costs as well as a personal sportsmanship and co-operation. Showmanship and livestock judg- ing are also important parts of the club work as well as how to carry on and conduct a meeting. Valuable Training Farm boys and girls throughout York County are once again look- ing forward to the organizational meetings of their 4â€"H Clubs. 4-H Calf Clubs will be organized at Sutton, Schomberg, Sharon, Mark- ham and Woodbridge. The Baby Beef Club is a County Club while the Tractor Club will be in the Schomberg area and open to boys in King Township and the adjoin- ing area in Simcoe. Other Clubs, Swine, Grain and Potato, may be organized according to the interest shown by any area. Work of 4-H Clubs Although education is not com- pulsory for children under seven years, most children enter Grade I at the age of five and reach high school by the time they are twelve. Thus New Zealand high school students are more youthful than Canadians, and this impression is heightened by the fact that school girls do not wear make-up, and that both girls and boys are ob- liged to wear uniforms -â€" tunics and blouses for girls and blue serge shorts and flannel shirts for boys. In the larger centres, all high school students have come from “Intermediate Schools", which are similar to the “Senior Schools” which have recently caused so much controversy in Toronto. The first school of this kind in New Zealand was built in 1923, but it was not until the middle thirties that the system was expanded. It is now generally conceded that al- though such schools are expensive in terms of staff and equipment, specialist teachers create higher standards and the opportunity to experiment with options under the direction of guidance teachers does away with a lot of wasted time and effort on ill-chosen options in high school. The examination pattern in high schools is similar ,except that in New Zealand High School Diploma (known as “School Certificate”) is a Departmental examination. Many high schools group students accord- ing‘to their ability. and brighter students can thus be given a course which will prepare them for this examination in three, instead of four years. Many of these students take only four years to gain Uni- versity Entrance, which, in stand- ards and requirements is almost the same *as that examination in Ontario. EDUCATION IN CANADA AND NEW ZEALAND By M. 1. Smith, M.A. An Ontario student would find little difficulty settling down to work in a New Zealand high school, for he would find that the subjects he was required to study and the standards he was expected to at- tain were almost the same as in his own home town. But some things would seem strange to him and it is those differences that I will describe here. School buildings in New Zeal- and do not have to be designed for near-zero temperatures and many class-rooms have floor-to- ceiling windows which slide back on warm days leaving one side of the room completely open to the sun and air. Although auditoriums are common enough, few schools have gymnasiums; physical educa< tion can be taken outside through- out the year. Sports are compulsory for all students and many large high schools have twenty acres or more of playing fields. The national game is Rugby Football which is York 4-H Clubs Organize SECONDARY SCHOOL NOTES FROM RICHMOND HILL DIST. HIGH SCHOOL Kaiser and Henry J.

During this period girls play has- ketball on asphalt courts. Summer sports are cricket, softball and tennis, played by boys and girls alike. Much of the summer pro- gramme in physical education is devoted to swimming, and all of the larger schools have their own swimming ‘pool or easy access to one. 1 and prompt inquiry is invited from all interested persons. All parents or the boys and girls them- selves who wish to obtain further details, are asked to write or visit W. M. Cockburn or Ed. Pearson of the Ontario Department of Agri- culture, Newmarket. . Farm young people can be as- sured that they will find 4-H Club work educational and enjoyable and of lasting value. All education costs are borne by the New Zealand Government us- ing money from general taxation. As a result, fast-growing areas are assured of the schools they need without having to burden them- selves with huge loans which force rates to uncomfortable heights. You must not imagine, however, that New Zealand parents have no say in the management of their own schools, for, so far as I can see, they have just'as much say as Ontario parents. High School ratepayers â€"- not appointed by Municipal bodies. They selected their own teachers and act as the government's agents in paying salaries. When a new school is to be built, the Government and the Board collaborate on the plans, and when it is completed the Board is given a per capita grant for cleaning and maintenance. For extra equipment, such as movie projectors, etc., the Government will provide half the cost and Boards must raise the other half by their own efforts â€" they have no power to levy rates. Library books, science equipment, maps, etc., are provided for by annual Government grants, While student transport is covered by Govern- ment contracts. During the last two years I have found much to admire in the On- tario system of education, but it is difficult to admire a system of ad- ministration which permits weal- thier school boards to attract the best teachers by offering higher salaries. Such a system certainly does'not lead to equality of oppor- tunity_ for the students. It seems odd to me too, that ratepayers in one community should have to pay more rates for education than those in another. I have heard it said that the people of Ontario would never allow the Government to take control‘ of education from the local bodies. To a visitor such as myself it appears that, in the High School field at least, there is very little control left to take. Courses of study, teachers’ qualifications, the type of schools which are built, are all controlled by Depart- ment regulations on government grants. Boards are free to ap- point their own teachers (which can be done under a centralized system) but they are also free to worry about where the money is coming from to pay them. Surely a Government financed system would ensure equality of educa- tional opportunity and would ease the burden of many struggling municipalities. The age limits for all clubs ex- cept the Tractor Club is that mem- bers must be 12 years by May 1 and under 21 by November 1, 1953. Tractor Club members must be at least 14 years by May 1 and only one member for each tractor. The calf owned by the boy or girl for the Calf Club must be born between January 1 and May 1, ex- cept in 'the Sutton club. Calves may be purebred or grade but in the case of grades they must be sired by a registered bull and out of a cow of the same breeding. Baby Beef steers may be born from May 1, 1952 to Feb. 1, 1953. Junior or Senior heifer calves are eligible in the Baby Beef Club. Clubs’ must be organized and calves obtained not later than May sponsoring service clubs and the fun of fitting and showing your animal at the Fair need only be mentioned as examples of enjoy- ment.
