George and Hap figure to have a real contending ball club this year and have done a lot of pre-season work to ensure a. good start on the season. There will be many new faces with the club this year and from all acconn'ts‘ this should be a most improved ball club. Number one son bagged Mom and Dad for a new pup last week.

With a new group of sponsors and two very active coaches girls’ softball in this area could be in for the best season in a long time. Don’t forget the place, time and date - Town Park, 1 p.m., Sunday, May 7th. Children at the Orange Home are going to be able to cheer their very own soccer team this year. Gary Blackburn of the Richmond Hill Junior Chamber of Commerce, is a one man gang when it comes to providing recreation and entertainment for the children in the home and now he is up to his ears forming an Orange Home Soccer Team. Gary is being aided and abetted by A] Cooper and son Ron of Richmond Hill. Mr. Cooper is the president and man “Friday’” of the Richmond Hill Soccer Club and is a man who really knows his football. Mr. Cooper and son Ron are devoting two even- ings a week to coaching and instructing the boys at the Orange Home and Mr. Cooper says that the boys are showing a real talent and aptitude for the game. A: II . . ...... u vnvuuv 4v; uuc saulc. At the present time all hands are busily engaged laying out a soccer field to go along with the track which was built last year. The field is to be 20 yards shorter than the regulation soccer field and the kids should really be able to go all out on the smaller layout. George Ward and “Hap” Mills are holding an out- door softball practice at the Town Park on Sunday, May 7th. Tee-off time is scheduled for 1 pm. and all girls desirous of trying out for a spot on the Richmond Heights Ladies Team are invited out to the practice. V a- ..-- vmu v“ mug u “ulna. AGJUUL. Nicé going Gary Blackbfim. You and your helpers it"; really doing a grand job for a bunch of deserving 1 s. So there you have a small rundown on the number of activities that this human dynamo dabbles in. And this is on a. part time basis! What would she accomplish on a full time job? Everyone in town owes Jean Thom- son a vote of thanks, from the roughest, toughest ath- lete to the weary mother who packs junior off for a ses- sion at a summer playground. She obtained the use of a storeroom from the town fathers and she has catalogued and inventoried, stored away and hung up just about every kind of sporting equipment you’d care to name. If you want to know just how much equipment is available for any given sport, just ask Mrs. Thomson and you’ll get an answer correct to the last decimal point. Football and lacrosse players have had Mrs. Thom- son’s help and she is always willing to listen with a symgqthetig gar _tq_a pitch for a worthy cause. Every sports group in Richmond Hill owes some- thing to Mrs. Thomson. Baseball and softball people know just how much they owe to Mrs. Thomson. She has worked with them to obtain provincial recreation grants, made visits on their behalf to the parliament buildings, held meetings in her home, where she is a most gracious hostess, and has done anything she pas. liblyÂ¥could to help. This is the good lady who got the summer play- ground system onto a very workable basis so that town mothers get a little relief during the summer holidays. Many playground supervisors have been developed un- der the system devised by Mrs. Thomson and high school students have been gainfully employed at a really worthwhile job. There is a lady in Richmond Hill who deserves great credit for her efforts on behalf of sport and yet she is known least by those she helps most. Mrs. Jean Thom- son is the part time recreation director of the Town of Richmond Hill. The part time bit is something of a mis- nomer as this good lady puts in many, many hours for which no gratuities are forthcoming. The dynamic president of the Richmond Hill Ball Association, Lloyd “Mickey” Smith, has just about knocked himself out to ensure that young ball players get a good start on the season. Willing workers have given Mr. Smith ample support and plans are well on the way to‘ becoming realities. Now is the time for all good men (and women too) to come to the aid of the association. A phone call to Mr. Smith at TU. 4-2108 will start you on the way to helping the young ball players. In other years some 400 children have played soft- ball under the wing of the association but this year over 700 are expected to participate. From the increas- ed participation it is obvious that this year a lot more adult help and guidance will be required. Coaches, um- pires, assistants for coaches and many other jobs are open for anyone who would like to do something to help the younger set to enjoy healthy, supervised recreation. Minor softball players. playing under the R.H.B.A. are going to gain a lot of knowledge from coaches who attended the training sessions. But the need is more urgent than ever for willing people to help out with the minor ball program. For the second year in a row the Richmond Hill Ball Association have held a most successful seminar for would-be softball umpires and coaches. Some thirty people attended the three night session and garnered g lfitfgf very valuable information from instructor Maxie c e . â€" SPORT SPOTS â€" â€" SPORT SPOTS â€" SPORT SPOTS â€" SPORT SPOTS â€"â€" Olga Mulle bowled like a champion to finish with a 735 and a high single of 275.

The Speedbails with Pat Mercer at the helm came through to win the consolation series and end the season on a happy note. A party of Jimmy Hoult Fan Club members were in attend- ance to cheer their boy to victory and the outcome bespeaks their success. The third game was the game that would pay off to the tune of $300.00 for five consecu- tive strikes and Hoult ran into a little bad luck. He opened with two strikes. ran into a chop-off then came back with three strikes. And that chop cost exact- ly $300.00 â€"â€" how much more expensive can they get? This Saturday Jim Hoult will again attempt to defend his title against another sharpshooter who'll be out crown hunting.

Thllysday _Afternoon League George Bunston of the Bunston team made a gallant efiort to pull his team to the champion- ship as he rolled a 510 triple backed up by a 207 single. Angus MacFarlane of Richmond Theatre had a trio of 509 and Ed Patter- son of Turner Taxi hit for a 504. Mary Champ of Rose Gardens led the fair sex with a three of 491 and a 191 single. Liz McCul- lough of Marple Real Estate roll- ed a 447 anrd_Emi1y Grimes of Sterling Packers garnered a 442. Guest bowler, Kay Opresnik came up with a 442 triple helped out by a 179 single. So it’s all over until next sea- son and all that remains is the ten-Dinners banquet. A few lea- gue members will be rolling in summer leagues but for most bowlers it’s hang up the shoes until next season. Jim Hoult Wins O’Connor TV Championship Second Straight Week Jimmy Hoult of Richmond Hill won the O‘Connor TV bowling show for the second week in a row as he fought off the chal- lenge of Lorne Anderson from Chatham. Hoult was an 80 pin winner over the three game set by rolling a 747 to Anderson’s 667. In the consolation series it was Richmond Theatre all the way with a 5779 pinfall. Sterling Packers chalked up 5672, Marple Real Estate 5652 and Richmond Hill Hardware wound up he year with 5587.

Second spot went to Norm Heintzman with 816 and Bill Jones finished in the show posi- tion with 792. Big Bill Jones also came through with six hits in a row to win the final six strike jackpot of the year. Frank Price has announced that the 60 ball tournament will be on top for next season, even big- ger and better than ever. He thanks the bowlers for the way in which they have responded to the tournament and promises to do all he can to improve the pop- ular event. All members with perfect at- tendance records received merit awards while everyone attending received a small gift.

A group of fourteen girls and boys then went “Stepping Out” in a lively rock ’n roll number while the >grand finale was provided by the “Hot Pretzelettes" a hilarious ‘ gronpuof somewhatncverdeveloped “girls” in a “dance” routine. Dave Rumble‘s “Story of an Adventure in the Big City" was also highly amusing. A high-light of the evening was the crowning of the Junior Posture Queen, Miss Cathie Len- nie. Miss Lennie was crowned on Thursday evening by Vice Principal, Mr. R. Aitchinson and received a trophy. Runners-up were Janet Taylor and Cathy Sumner. On Friday evening, Prin- cipal A. S. Elson crowned Miss Sandra Henry as Senior Posture Queen. Runners-up were Arlene Sinclair and Jane Redman. The Dry Gulch Squares per- formed, almost flawlessly, a hear- ty square dance, while “Evening Activity in Dry Gulch" proved to be some plain and fancy can- oodling by Paul Rivers and Jim Kellam. The Totem Tom-Tom was a diverting dan2e performed by some 27 girls, in a routine composed and directed by Joan Gibson, Jane McGowan and Anne Rogers. The girls’ tumbling team put on a fine show, as did the boys team, starred by Branislav Paje- vic, John Hunter and Bob Jamie- son. Even the entrance to the au- ditorium became the traditional swinging doors of the old west for the evening, and the admir- ably done sets and backdrops car- ried out the western theme. The backdrop realistically portrayed the main street of a town of the Old West, and the walls on either side of the stage became part of the street. To the left was the “Dry Gulch Saloon” and to the right of the stage was por- trayed the traditional livery sta- ble, complete to the hay protrud- ing from the loft. Sheriff Keith Cox-kill, complete with oversize star and voiumin- ous mustache, was the Master of Ceremonies who introduced a liv- ely program provided by some 120 students on stage, backed up by approximately 80 behind the scenes.

' 1 The executive members of the Richmond Hill Lawn Tennis As- sociation are planning to open the courts for play this coming weekend. On advice from Barber Construction, builders of the courts, the opening was delayed until the second week in May to give the courts ample time to drain and settle. The first show had 250 students participating in numerous um'e- lated acts; the 1959 theme was different dances of the world and the 1960 show was on a Cir- cus theme with everything direc- tly connected with a circus motif. This year‘s “Wild West" show was the best yet and tribute should be paid to all the energetic young people who took part, for their highly developed skill in tumbling, jumping, work on the parallel bars and trampoline gave evidence of many, many hours of hard work. The staff of the physical education depart- ment, Miss Rafferty, Mrs. O’Shea, Mr. Seath and Mr. McVicar, is also to be complimented. And lastly, the music provided by the Tailgates, Bob Jami-eson, Denis Moffatt, Brian Magee, Dave Iver- son, Glenn Moffatt and David Wood, and that provided by The Continentals, Kingsley Butler, Glenn Cooper, John Goadsby, Dennis Buckingham and Dave Agg, certainly added much to the evening. Unfortunately, no announcement was made, and it was not possible to distinguish between these two musical “com- bos” - but they were both highly effective. Public School Board To Help Parks Board In Continuing Rinks A contribution towards the 01):! eration of hockey rinks located on school property was authorized by Richmond Hill public scho board at its last meeting.

The Parks Board felt unable to continue support at that rate, they said. R.H.Tennis Season Opens, Weekend The rinks will be set up by the Parks Board and maintained by the School Board. Principals of the public schools had expressed appreciation of the rinks. said School Superintendent Gordon McIntyre. Some will be testing newly con- structed jobs, while others will be testing new engines. All, how- ever, will be contributing to pro- duce that delightful atmosphere that announces Spring for the dyed-in-the-wool stock car fan - gunning motors and the rich tang of exhaust clouds. The newly formed Eastern Canadian Professional Soccer League has sparked interest in the game at all age levels. At a series of meetings held in Sud- bury and Toronto the Ontario Minor Soccer Federation came into being. There are already two minor teams preparing to operate while representing Richmond Hill. An- other team has been formed at the Orange Home and, according to reports received, the Orange Home boys are going to be real contenders. Two senior soccer teams will be operating in Richmond Hill in addition to high school teams in the area. It would appear that soccer is due for a real revival in this area and this is bringing joy to the hearts of local soccer fans.
