The advent of spring seems to rejuvenate everyone and old Dad especially. There is more digging, raking, grass cutting, sod laying and planting going on than anyone would care to shake a stick at. But take it easy, Dad. Those flabby winter muscles need to be broken in slow and easy like. Don’t let’s you overdo it and become an aching muscled casualty â€"- slow and easy does it and the old garden will look as good as it ever has. Properly indulged in, gardening can be one of the moat enjoyable outdoor sports and one of the most rewarding. But we’d like to repeat â€"â€" start slow and easy and ,you’ll get more out of it in the long run. 1 â€" SPORT SPOTS â€" The York Central Anglers & Hunters Association are sponsoring classes‘ in “Hunter Safety Training”, starting on Friday, June 3, at 7.30 pm. at the Municipal Hall. The only tools needed for the course are an open mind and a $1.00 fee. The dollar fee is used to cover the cost of ammunition used in the practical demonstrations and to provide each student with a “Safe Hunter Ont- ario” shoulder flash on completion of the course. If you have not previously held a resident hunting license a certificate of successful finishing of this course will be mandatory before a license will be issued. The course requires four weeks attendance â€" four Friday evenings. You must be 14 years of age or older to be eligible. We have the most reticent, retiring young ladies on the face of the earth in this town of Richmond Hill. We want to choose a Sports Day Queen and present her with some worthwhile prizes, but so far not one girl has shown any interest in the project. Mrs. Bernice Gibson, prop- rietress ‘of the “Gibson Girl” Shop Ltd., located in the vAllencourt Shopping Centre is eagerly awaiting entrants for the Queen contest. Mrs. Gibson is no amateur at this sort of thing and you may be sure that all the rules of good taste and decorum will apply. The only thing now is we hope that the young ladies will apply -â€" to Mrs. Gibson. We need all of you â€" any one of you could be our chosen Queen. The course is designed to cut down on hunting ac- cidents by teaching common sense hunting safety and the proper techniques of gun~handling. To register for the course visit the local police station in Richmond Hill and submit your name. The dollar fee for the course will be payable at the first lecture. Mr. Lorne Sheardown, chairman of Hunter Safety for the York Central Anglers & Hunters Association would like all candidates to register before May 14th, if possible. The idea is to train and qualify as many hun- ters and potential hunters as is possible by the opening of the hunting season. Courses will be carried on just as long as there is ‘a demand and the association is quite prepared to carry on right through the summer. This course would seem to be a Godsend to hunting families as the younger members who are just coming of age will get a thorough grounding in safety. It may well be that Junior will pick up a few tips to pass on to old Dad. If you intend to hunt, register for the course as soon as you can and then you can get your license this September. A little parental support can help a lot. Just by being at the games and cheering the kids on seems to give everyone a big lift. We don’t mean active partici- pation by advising and second guessing the coach but by being genuinely interested and attending frequently. Some parents get the surprise of their lives when they see their progeny in action. A boy who is at the stage where at home he seems like a tanglefoot can pick ’up his feet and really move on a ball field. You will also get a chance to see how your child relates to other children and get some idea. of his or her shortcomings and capahilities. Children honestly look forward to their parents at- tending games and some of them honestly are hurt be- cause Mom or Dad doesn’t take any interest. Sure, some of them will be a bit self-conscious at first, because you are there, but they will soon learn to look forward to you being there. Hope to see a lot of you out at games this summer. ,,7‘ This year Why not make it a point to go to games fiust as often as you can ? Before you know it you’ll have become an addict and your child will get to know you a lot better and you will surely appreciate him (or her) a at more. ' y This may seem like a small item, but when you see parents really interested in their son’s or daughter‘s athletic pursuits it seems to make the whole deal worth- while. Coaches of young ball clubs sometimes get the idea that they are being used as municipal baby sitters and as these felIOWS give up their own time, absolutely free , to look after the kids it can be most gliscouraging. Last Saturday was a sort of gloomy, rainy day, but lots of kids in this district journeyed to the arena to sign up for softball. The heartening thing was that in a lot of instances the children were accompanied by their par- ents.

The meeting was an organizational one and was rather lengthy as it did not adjourn until 11 pm. after an 8 pm .start. New Officers Election of officers was held and Mr. Elgin “Tubby” Barrow was elected to the president’s chair for the 1960-61 season. The hard working Bob Jackson was elected as vice-president, while Wick Mills \becomes past presi- dent. . After two successive Saturdays from 10 am. to 5 p.m., the regis- trations. for minor ball in Rxch- mond Hillare only about 50 per cent completed‘ as only about 300 registrations have been received to date. As was “announced ear- lier, a draw will be madefor a softball glove from the registra- tions received on April 23 and April 30/11: has been decided to hold the’ draw only on those reg- istrations turned in up to and in- cluding April 30 despite the com- paratively small number regis- tered. Two gentlemen did such splen- did jobs in their departments last year there was no doubt of their being returned to office. The men concerned are John Gropp and Bob Pimm. John Gropp did a re- markable job as secretary and Bob Pimm was the perfect treas- urer. They will hold their respec- tive positions through the 1960- 61 season. Registrations will be accepted for the last time on Saturday, May '7 at the arena between 10 , Last year’s registrar, Fred Waters agreed to handle the dif- ficult chore for the next season. Fred indicated that he‘had learn- ed how not to do the job last year and that errors made then would not be repeated and consequent- ly his task would be much lighter this year. A refreshing way of looking at it, and despite Mr. Waters’ remarks he did a very capable job in the season just completed. Hockey School The hockey school will once again be under the guidance of Bill McVean. The school was a great help to many children during the ’59-’60 season and Mr. McVean is willing to continue in this important capacity. T0 CREDITORS AND OTHERS E.

Wit €ur&nq j‘Olo/ZL Vaqidfralioné If you have not yet registered, make sure that you get up to the afena on Saturday, May 7, be- tween 10 am. and 3 p.m. You wouldn’t want to be disappointed and you are holding up the start of the season. How about it, Mom and Dad â€"â€" see that your child- ren turn in their registration forms,‘along with their dollar and let’s get the show on the road. the next hoe ptove to be [chifdren will along the line am. and 3 p.m., but these regis- trations will not be eligible for the softball glove. It is of vital importance v,that these registra- tions be completed as soon as possible‘in order to allocate play- ers to teams and in order that a schedule can be drawn up. The Pee Wee Division will be headed up by the capable Eric Charity. With sons Gary and Gord being active in hockey, Eric has to spend a lot of time at the ar- ena in order to see his sons‘ now and then. The Pee Wee group should benefit from Eric’s con- siderable hockey knowâ€" how. Dick Piller will be in charge of the Bantam Group. It was felt that this age group is one of the largest groups and these boys are at an age when they start to play really good hockey. With this thought in mind it was felt that Dick, with his past experi- ence would be a very valuable man in the Bantam division. The Midget convenor for next season will be the well-known Er- nie Brennan. Ernie has had a great deal of experience with boys in this age group and his appointment to thevjob was a natural. The Uplands Golf Club Putter Sponsor, Reg. Acomb, was appoin- ted convenor for the Mite Divis- ion and Reg. seems to be looking toward the start of the next hock- ey season with a great deal of pleasure. Earl Methe, coach of the Put- ters, will be convenor for the Squirt Group next season. Earl proved with the Putters that he is a very capable coach and should‘r’nake a good convenor in this division. Lorne Prosser will head up the Juvenile Group, Lorne has prov- ed in the past to be a very cap- able administrator and should be able to do a first class job with the juvenile group. Barry Brent was appointed as custodian of trophies and awards. With some 45 trophies awarded annually it is necessary to have some responsible person to take charge of this field and Mr. Brent has agreed 'to take over this de- partment. The involved job of statistician was taken on by Mr. Ted Dobbs for his second team. The up-toâ€" date figures that were available last season were produced by the hard working Mr. Dobbs and it is the good fortune of the R.H.H.A. that a man of his ability is not only available but very willing. Wick Mills was deputized as 0.M.H.A. supervisor to look after any games or series coming un- der an O.M.H.A. category, while Ron Craine was appointed to pub- licity and special events. Jim Grainger will again be serving as referee-in-chief and the referee- ing this year left little go be de- sired. The referees handled the games fairly and competently as they knew that they had the solid the best ever.

This record was really shat- tered as Ron’s time was over half a minute better and over this dis- tance that is quite a feat._ Bob Manning won the Junior 1% even in 9 minutes 26 seconds, to break the old mark of 9 min- utes 33 seconds set last year by Ron Brice. The Grade 9 harrier went to Lawrie Brice as he ran the 1 1/5 mile distance in 6 minutés and 4 seconds by a full 3 seconds. Fast family these The barrier races were run last week and as per usual new rec- ords were set in every division â€"- Senior, Junior and Grade 9 har- rier. The as per usual bit' may seem a bit flippant on the face of it, but it is plain Cold fact. Harrier races were started at Richmond Hill High School eight years ago and every year the race is won in a faster time in all div- isions. It seems to be something of an oddity but there it is. Ever since the Easter holidays drew to a close the Thornh-ill Track and Field hopefuls have been giving it the all-out treat- ment in order to prep for the hea- vy schedule in May. Conch Char~ lie Seath has his. young hopefuls working out furiously and five gets you ten that by the end of May the tiredest man on the track squad will be the same Mr. Seath. *In the senior division Thorn~ hill hopes are riding on Bob Pat- terson to place highly in the 100, 220 and 440 yard wins. Bob has been working out with 'the East York Track Club for about six months and has turned in a hun- dred yards in ten seconds flat. Coach Fred Foote of the East York Club regards Bob as a boy with a terrific potential. Also in the senior divisibn, Cliff Nuttall will be performing in his specialâ€" ty, the high jump. Cliff can real- ly get up and go into orbit over that bar and improves with every meet. Big things are also looked for from Ray Smith in the intermed- iate division in the 100, 220 and 120 yard low hurdles. Bob Howes is a real threat for intermediate discus honours. The junior divâ€" ision :has Jim Kellam, who is a candidate for shot put honours. Jim is 14 years of age, \six feet tall and weighs close to 190 lbs. He has lots of desire and ath- letic ability as he played tackle for the junior football team last year. He played 60 minutes of every game and the feat becomes remarkable when you know that Jim is a Grade 9 student. exposed to football for the first time. On Saturday, May 7, the Thorn- hill team will be travelling to Camp Borden to compete in the Georgian Bay meet to qualify for the C.O.S.S.A. meet. The first four finishers in each event are to qualify. The C.O.S.SA. meet will be held on May 20 in Port Hope while the following week, May 28. will see the O.F.S.A.A. meet going at the University of Besides these larger meets school will be competing in meets with Richmond Hill Pickering College.

Du- rant, former Chief of the Mark- ham Fire Brigade died suddenly April 24, following a heart attack suffered when he and his wife were at Malton to see their son David off on a flight to Montreal. Another son, Lewis, was shot and killed three years ago while on duty-with the Markham Town- ship Police force. The first game to be seen in Richmond -Hill in many a year will be in the arena on June 8, Sports Day, following the soft- ball game between Dynes Jewell- The team has received help from a great number of people and business enterprises who are interested in the revival of la- crosse in Richmond Hill. There is still lots of room left for any- one else who would care to con- tribute in any way to ensure that the team will be able to operate on a sound financial basis. ' Ray Fox is making a one man trek all through the area canVas- sing for his team and the results obtained so far indicate that he is a good ambassador in the la- crosse cause. The need at the moment is for two goal nets â€"â€" if you know where Roy could ob- tain a pair of nets at a reasonable price, please contact him at BA. 1-4411. Brices Ray “Ozark” Fox has called the first practice for the Richmond Hill entry in the Ontario La- crosse Association for 7.30 pm. Thursday, May 5. at Richmond Hill Arena. All you lacrosse hope- fuls are requested to turn out for this first practice. The Richmond Hill arena board has agreed to the use of the ar< ena for lacrosse this year and are doing all they can to help the fledgling team get started on the right foot. Practices will also be held on Sunday mornings start- ing at 11 am. » The turnout for the barrier was somewhat disappointing as some 80 boys competed. In pre- vious years as many as 200 have entered and competed in these events. Richmond Till’s track team will be taking part in the Georgian Bay Track Meet at Camp Borden this Saturday, May 7. This meet is run entirely by the Canadian Army and all offiéials, starters and field judges will he army personnel. The chief starter for this meet was the starter for the British Empire Games trials while the head field judge was a field judge at the Pan-American games. This meet has been in the mill since February, and it is expected to be one of the better track meets of the year. RICHMOND HILL HYDRO- ELECTRIC COMMISSION SAM COOK, Chairman VERNE SNIDER.
