Monday, January 25, will be the official opening night for the new rink and it is going to be a gala night. There is to be a party of from 50 to 60 official guests with Ontario’s Premier Leslie Frost being on the invitation list. Members of other curling clubs in the area will be represented and the Ontario Curling Assoc- iation will be represented by official delegates. The complete official opening ceremonies will be carried on radio by the CBC and a colorful Opening it will be as the official party will be piped’around the rink by a braw Scots piper. The club executive has decided that club president Al. Harley is without sin, as he is to cast the first stone. Ceremonies start at 8.30 13.111. and members and curl- ing enthusiasts in the area are cordially invited to at- tend. A few ladies’ memberships are still available but are rapidly being taken up. Men’s membership still has openings, but it is the opinion of the club executive that a waiting list 'for membership will have to be started when the season opens again next fall. If you have been toying with the idea of curling, toy no longer but act soon. Have a look at the new prem- ises and the comfort and convenience available and any lingering doubts you may have had will soon be dispell- ed. This is indeed a BIG TIME operation. Marlboros' much publicized and penalized defence- man, Roger Cote, is getting a chance to show his wares in the A.H.L. Via this route it is not inconceivable that some day he will do or die for the dear old Leafs. Sort of proves in a way that one way to achieve recognition from high hockey brass is to be as rough, tough and nasty as possible doesn’t it? Punch Imlach may indeed have his desires granted because this boy will never win a Lady Byng trophy unless he changes drastically, and you know what Imlach said he thought of Lady Byng winners. The tennis addicts in Richmond Hill may have courts available to them sooner than was expected. The land purchaSe from householders on the south side of Centre Street has been expedited and now all that re~ mains is to get cracking on construction as sooon as weather permits. All you tennis fans, please take note and get behind the movement and you’ll be in business before you know it. Maybe you’ll think that this is just the same old story and you’re so right, unfortunately it is. It is MOST unfortunate that at every hockey game that the younger crowd plays at the arena parents are a very scarce commodity. Sure it takes some effort to go to a game and granted the arena IS cold but you don’t have to live there. Just come along and watch your boy in action for forty minutes once a week. A little par- ental interest helps a lot. Why not come out and root for your favourite hockey player? He’ll enjoy it and, darn it all, so will you. Mu-.‘._.-° 17-..--- â€"_- an endeavour that vevgéalbhér in town can take pride in whether they themselves are interested in curling or not. â€" SPORT SPOTS â€" While we are on the subject of hockey, don’t forget the good mercantile games that can be seen every Tues- day night at Richmond Hill arena. There are always two good rousing hockey games and some really fine door prizes available for lucky winners. The boys who play in this league love to play hockey and always put; on a. really good show. All of these activities represent some feverish ac- tivity on the part of the club manager. As the club is in the process of shaking down into its new quarters and also increasing membership, Mr. Allan’s duties are very strenuous indeed. , v With the acquisition of such a line new curling cen- tre (and if you have not yet seen it, you should) the name Richmond Hill will become well known wherever devotees of curling gather. The club premises are most impreSSiVe and give promise of even greater luxury When building plans are completed to the last detail. This is On January 13th a Men’s Open Bonspiel was held. On Saturday, January 16, an Open Mixed BonSpiel is scheduled followed by a Ladies’ Open Bonspiel on Wed- nesday, January :20. On Saturday, January another Men’s Open Bonspiel gets under way while another Open Bonspiel goes on Wednesday, January 27. To round out a. very busy month, Saturday, January 30, brings on an- other Open Mixed Bonspiel. â€" SPORT SPOTS â€"- It may be wintery and blustery out these days but softball preparations are already under way. Dynes Jewellers have a burning desire to field a real contender this year and‘both Vern. Dynes and Stan Ransom are mulling over plans for the coming season. If anybody knows of a good softball player (pitcher types preferr- ed), don’t hesitate to contact either of the above named gentlemen. It would be nice to see a Hill team go all the way this year and if Vern Dyne’s can help in any way at all, they’ll surely have a hot contenders â€" SPORT SPOTS â€" _ Speaking of softball reminds us forcibly that an event that has become an annual fixture will be bigger and better than ever this year. The event is the annual Sports Day Parade and if you intend to participate in parade preparations in any way, start thinking up those ideas now and have them ready when the first meeting notices go out. Let's make it a really big, big show this year.

The balance of their club are comparative beginners of which only two were present. The Thornhill Midget basket- ball team visited Richmond Hill High on Friday afternoon and were swamped by a very lop- sided 41-6 score. Bobby Lewis, a five foot two inch bundle of dynamite racked up sixteen points in the first half of the game and then sat out the second half.
