0-- From the time that Al allowed his nomination as a town council candidate to stand, the outcome has been obvious to all those who know A1. White, or have had the privilege of hearing him speak. A great many of us know Al in connection with his behind-the-scenes activities in sports and others know him as the ever- genial proprietor of his sporting goods business in Richmond Hill. ' In whatever capacity you know the man, the one thing that is always evident is his plain, common horse-sense. We mentioned his behind-the-Scenes sporting ac- tivities and they are legion. For a goodly number of years, Al has looked after the scheduling of the Town Park for softball and other activities. He has given help and guidance to the softball interests in town and has sponsored many hockey teams in the Richmond Hill Hockey Association. If there is a sport you can think of that A1 White has no interest in, it must be something they play only in Pakistan. ~-.-r -wv" Each player receivedia much-crested jacket from the Wimbridge Cleaners’ management in recognition of the team’s achievements. The jackets are just the thing for these cold winter nights that are ahead and all team members are highly appreciative of their new garments. Mayor Ken Tomlin, on behalf of the town, presented each player with a personal award in recog- nition of the kudos coming to the town as a result of having a Richmond Hill team bring an Ontario champ- ionship to add to other laurels. But all sporting interests aside A] will take to coun- cil a sane, commonsense approach to all problems which confront him and of one thing you may be sure, he has the interest of the Town of Richmond Hill at heart and this means the interests of each and every one of the town’s citizens. So once again congratulations are in order to a great bunch of ball'players, to the coaches of the team, Mickey Smith and Russ Cripps and to the team sponsors, Wimbridge Cleaners. If next season is half as success- ful as this one was, no one will have any cause for com- plaint. â€"â€" SPORT SPOTS â€"- Here goes a little something that makes editors turn blue and makes publishers turn a delicate shade of purple.

Softball time has long come and gone (and a very rewarding season it was!) and although cold winter winds are now howling and blowing the softball season just past was celebrated at one more ceremony last Week.
