Georgie Smith was high with a total of 1011 for his three game contribution. Hel- en Richards rolled a 949 for three and Paul Shanahan had an off night with an 846 total. This is an off night??? - High single honours belong t Georgie Smith with a fine 433 effort and Audrey Young holds the ladies‘ singles mark with a 401 performance.

The ten pin automatics spell the knell of pin boys at the north end establishment and should help to make the ten pin game more popular.

Bowling is going ahead fast in Richmond Hill and promises to be the most popular fall and winter pastime in the area. AnnualMeet The annual meeting of the Richmond Hill Arena As- sociation was held on Wednesday. May 24th in the Rich- mond Hill Council Chambers. Small interest was evinced in the meeting by debenture holders and other members as, in addition to the executive only two members were present, Mr. L. H. Sims and Mr. N. Stephenson. Mr. Dalton Hicks gave the president"s report and covered the situation for the past year. He indicated that while revenues were up, expenses were up to some degree and, that by holding the line on rates. the net profits were correspondingly smaller. The financial report, however, indicates that; the arena is a venture. Mr. Hicks stated that approx- imately $6,000.00 worth of deben- tures had been redeemed and that another successful season would do much toward removing deben- ture obligations entirely. He paid tribute to all concerned with the venture and wishes to go on rec- ord as being more than pleased with the help and support of em- ployees and executive members.

Local Gals-Lose Opener By 7-5 tered in the East York Ladies’ Softball League and incumbent league champions. lost the open- ing game of the season at Dieppe Park on Tuesday, May 23rd. The local lasses dropped a 7-5 decis- ion to Billetts Market but came back to win at home on Wednes- day. “Hap” Mills was unable to ac- company the team to Dieppe for the opening game and the genial, jovial Hap says that they need his presence to inspire them. He could be right as he was present for the Wednesday night win. The team was trailing 8-6 in the last inning but came up with a four run rally to win the game by a 10-8 score. Ruth Foster was on the mound with Mary Will- ‘iamson catching. The battery was very effective and Mary proved to be a very good catcher. Prom- vinent in the win were Jean Dou- cette, Marg Bain, Joan Mills and Sandra Edgcumbe. 3 High Schools COmpete Guelph Richmond Hill, ’l‘hornhill and IBayview High Schools competed in the O.F.S.S.A.

At the same time. the board will apply to the provin- cial government for a $5,000 ag- ricultural rebate of 25 per cent of what already has been spent on Crosby Park! . Town Park At the moment it looks as though the change house. sani- tary facilities and sewer line planned for the Town Park will cost about $15,000. but for the present $7,000 has been earmark- ed for the sewer and buildings. It also appears that the sewer will run from the change house‘s tentative location in the southeast corner of the bowling green to hook up with Centre Street.

First Meeting Mainly Plans Review A vigorous parks-improvement program was launched ‘a Week ago Wednesday when the newly-formed Richmond ' Hill Parks Board. headed by Chairman Russell Tilt, held its first official meeting. The board cleared the decks of an eleven-item agenda covering park and pond improve- ments and renovations, the possibility of acquiring more parks acreage and by-laws dealing with everything from the cutting and removal of trees, soil rem0val and tree once. At the same time the board exchanged views on the possibil- ity of acquiring more recreational land for the town but this part of the meeting was more of an exploratory nature and no firm proposals or commitments were made. Pond Area The board said there was money enough available to finish grading the front end of the mill pond ‘and that this project would be completed as soon as possible. Simultaneously the board consid- ered complaints that citizens were carting away soil from the north end of the pond area. Said member A1 White: “This is going on despite threat of police ac- tion." Member Alan Smythe said wistfully: “I could use some of that soil myself." This caused Chairman Tilt to suggest. with a grin: “Now wouldn‘t that be a fine kettle of fish were one of the board members nabbed helping himself to some of that terra firma!" His colleagues intimated. regretfully, that they were suf- ficiently brain-washed by law and order propaganda not to attempt this type of theft. Volunteer Labour The board explained that an offer by some pond-area residents to contribute voluntary labour toward gathering up deadwood and otherwise cleaning up sec- tions of the land generally might well be considered. But a similar offer from a local sports organi- zation in relation to work needed to prepare baseball and soccer facilities at Crosby Park caused the members to demur. Said they: “The unemployment situa- tion being what it is. we could (Continued on Page 10) IN STOCK 30 DAYS. MUST .BE SOLD.
