to have a_son he’llâ€"love the niece, and the the nopcorn and the potato chips and the â€" what else do they eat? And the races are really good. Several Richmond Hill men are driving at Pinecrest and many business enterprises in and around Richmond Hill are sponsoring cars. If you are fortunate enough Sterling Moss. the greatest race driver in the world today, said recently that the threat of death is what makes motor racing worthwhile for a driver. It may be true but somehow we can’t believe it applies to all drivers. Mastery of a machine and perfection of driving skill must be rewards that make it worthwhile for a lot of peoole. Maybe, just maybe, Mr. Moss is a little sick. If you enjoy motor racing with a touch of adven- ture in it, why not go out to Pinecrest some evening and see what they have to offer? They even have a race where the idea is to deliberately belt another car until it can’t turn a wheel. Last car running under its own power is the winner. Naturally the cars used are fugi- tives from a wrecker’s yard, but it does add a touch of humour to an otherwise serious evening. When a stock jockey puts down his foot, tires yelp a protest and the reworked chariot virtually goes into orbit. Most of us think we’re pretty hot stuff when we can beat a compact car away from a stoplight. Today’s drivers are professional drivers in the true sense of the word. To the uninitiated it may appear that these drivers are reckless and foolhardy but the oppos- ite is true. These are cold, methodical men who know their job and know their machines. They know their own capabilities and limitations and learn to exploit weaknesses in other drivers. It‘s a real pleasure to watch a good one at work. Yes, stock car races are noisy and there is a burnt oil and burnt rubber smell in the air. Maybe you’ll just go out of curiosity some time and find yourself caught up in the excitement of a close duel at terrific speed â€" when this happens you forget smells and noise and begin to root for a particular car or driver. After that you’re hooked. With all these modern improvements, stock ears are turning in faster and faster performances and driver skills are increasing right along with improved car per- formances. Gone are the days when some grease cover- ed, tousle-headed youth could soup up an old stove and burn up the tracks. Stock racing cars have come a long, long way from the early days. Any resemblance between these bombs and the family hack begins and stops with the fact that each has four wheels. Tires don’t even look like tires anymore. Everyone is using racing slicks and the tires on the family sedan wouldn’t take the punishment for two laps. Engines with four, five and six carburetors are the rule rather than the exception and bodies are designed to fit the pilot and no more. Most of these power plants carry four figure price tags and are really not engines so much as functional sculptures in metal. ' After seeing what seat belts can do to protect a human body when Violent crashes occur, it's a wonder that the motoring public does not scream and clamour for belts to be standard manufacturers’ equipment. The results speak for themselves. A pile-up like this would normally strew the pavement with passen- gers as doors flew open and unseat-belted bodies obeyed the laws of motion and kept right on going after the vehicles had come to an abrupt stop. Either that or someone would have put a big hole in dashboard or windshield with their daintin dimpled chin. VOLUME LXXXII, NUMBER 2 aatVPinecrest Speedway. Everything that can possibly be done to ensure driver safety has been done. Each and every car is equipped with a safety belt that holds the driver firmly in place. Every driver wears a crash helmet and does not drive a race without it. All cars are equipped with extra bracingr and heavy roll bars, some padded with, foam rubber; in short every- thing that can be done to protect the driver is done. That the drivers are hale and fit after the collision is not as happenstance as it may at first appear. This accident did not occur on the open highway but on And then the word is passed along, both drivers unhurt although it is necessary to pull the two vehicles apart by using tow trucks. Once again human beings have been the pawns of the gods and, miraculously, not only are their lives spared but they are uninjured. Second Section SUPERINTEN DEN T.

Appendicitis is taking its toll of the Richmond Heights team. Sandra Edgcumbe was forcibly separated from her appendix on Saturday and Mary Williamson on the morning of the Sports Day parade. We hope to see both gals fully recovered and back in action soon. Ruth Foster was on the mound for the Richmond Heights Maids and pitched her usual high cali- bre ball game. The catching was capably handled by Irene Bryson. To cap softball activity on Sports Parade Day, the Richmond Heights Ladies defeated East York Kiwanis, 12-9, in the night- cap feature. Largest crowd of the season was on hand to watch the local lasses win in the East York Ladies Softball League fix- ture. Lloyd “Mickey” Smivth, presi- dent of the Richmond Hill Ball Association, was introduced by Jack Searton. Mr. Smith wel- comed everyone to the celebra- tion and explained that monies realized from the event would all go to support minor ball in the Town of Richmond Hill. Mr. Smith introduced Mrs. Jean Thomson, recreation director of Richmond Hill, a lady who has done a tremendous amount of work on behalf of children and recreation in general. Clare Butler. vice-president of the Ontario Softball Association and well known to softball fans and players around Richmond Hill, was introduced by Mr. Sea- ton. Mr. Butler commented on As the parade entered the town park, floats were drawn uo on’m the main softball diamonds to give people in the packed stands a view of the entire parade. in the area. There were cars bearing cheerleaders from Thorn- hill, Richmond Hill and Bayview High Schools, and one truck bore a jazz combo, the “Tailgafies”, from Thornhill High School, which did much to liven up the proceedings along the way. Everybody Got View Softball was represented by shiny-faced boys and girls who marched valiantly along the route and let everyone see what fine young softball players we have Hundreds of children marched or rode in the parade and repre- sented every type of minor sport played in Richmond Hill. Teams from the Richmond Hill Hockey Association House League rep- resented hockey along with the Hornets, Ontario peewee O.M. H.A. champions. Second prize was won by the Richmond Heights Merchants Association for a float decorated in green and White and carrying members of the Richmond Heights Merchants Ladies Soft- ball team. Plenty of Spectators . Many people lined Yonge St. as the parade came down the route, led by the Leaside Lions Marching Band. This colourful aggregation of young bandsmen set the keynote for the rest of the parade and were met with enthusiastic applause the whole length of the route. _Richmond Hill Majorettes pre- ceded the Richmond Hill Police Band as the band made its first public appearance. In their smart uniforms and with their shako- type hats, the Police Band will prove to be a very valuable asset to any function in the district. The weather man gave his blessing and the fourth annual Sports Day Parade was held last Wednesday evening. The parade, postponed for one week due to inclement weather, lost nothing by the delay and was enjoyed by large numbers of Richmond Hill citizenry. Quality Doubtful, Enthusiasm High As Softball Winds Up Sports Parade After forming up at the Rich- mond Heights Plaza. the parade made its way down Yonge Street to Lorne Avenue and then pro- ceeded to the town park, Many floats were entered in the parade and the winning float was an entry by the Richmond Hill Fig- ure Skating Club. Ron Wilson of Norfolk Ave. was the designer and builder of the prize~winning entry. Motif of the float, appropriately enough, was two huge figure skates which formed the sides of the float. Between the two skates, young, costumed figure skaters rode against a colourful backdrop and steadied pennons which announc- ed to all and sundry that they belonged to the Richmond Hill Figure Skating Club. Mr. Wilson and those who helped him with the construction are to be com- mended for the high standard achieved by their float, the first float ever entered by the Skating Club.

First prize is an original l-andscarpe painted by Mr. John Allen of the A popular feature with the large crowd in attendance was the exhibition of cheer-leading by the groups from Thomhill, Richmond Hill and Bayview High Schools. Richmond Hill had three girls on hand, Thornhill had 3 and Bayview 4. The girls showed just how they cheer their school teams on to victory, and how so few pretty girls can gen- erate so much noise and enthusi- asm is past all understanding. CJRH came back to score three more runs in the bottom cat the third inning and both teams were blanked in the fourth as the game ended in a four-to-four tie. A coin was tossed to see who won the priceless? trophy and Stew Coxford outealled Johnny Esaw 'to win for CJRH. Preséniation ocf the trophy was made to Mr. Coxford by Harold Van Dyke. Charlie Burns was to have umpired the game along with Maxie Schifi‘. Neither gentleman was able to be present, and in their absence, Bunny Morganson stepped into the breach as base umpire. Phil Hammond, a local boy who was playing minor ball only two years ago, went in to umpire behind the plate. Both men turned in a very creditable officiating job. In the first inning of the game the CJRH crew took a one-run lead as Stew Coxford came in to score on a double hit by How- ard Bennett. CFTO racked up four runs in the third inning as Don Davis, Annis Stukus, Johnny Esaw and John Spalding came pounding across the plate. the fine turnout for the parade and said that with such enthusi- astic support the youth of Rich- mond Hill were assured of a sound sports programme. Featured game of the evening was a softball game between the “Really Happy Assassins" of C.J.R.H. and the CFTO Nine. As a softball game in itself. it was not the best ever seen, but play- ers of both teams are to be heartily thanked for their co- operation. Due to previous com- mitments, the game was declared over at the end of four innings, with the teams tied with four runs each. Councillors in Form Prior to the start of the game, Mayor James Ha'ggart of Rich- mond Hill threw the opening pitch to Councillor Harold Whil- lans at the plate. Umpire Tom Broadhurst never got a chance to call the pitch as Mr. Whilllans connected and drove the pitch into right field. Other council members were acting as base umpires along with Chief Con- stable Robert Robbins. Come To ............

The game start was delayed until 9:00 pm. as another soft- ball game preceding was not over until this time. The game ended late at 11:00 p.m., one of the dangers of back-to-back sche- duling in any ball park. McKnight was the big gun for Newmarket with two singles and a double while Bill Degeer and Gary Smith each hit two singles in the losing Allencourt cause. It took two runs in the bottom of the ninth inning to do it, but Newmarket did just that to out- score Allencourt Lanes, 4â€"3, in Newmarket. Allencourt had a one-run lead as they led 3-2 at the end of the top of the ninth inning. Smith got on the track as the ball was mishandled in the Allen- court infield. McKnight doubled to score Smith and tie the score. McKnight came across the plate with the winning run on succes- sive singles by Forhan and Gibson to win the game by the 4-3 count. Bob A-ttwel], pitching for New- market, was tagged for 11 hits. struck out 6 A‘llencourt hopefuls, and gave up 2 walks. Allencourt had won their seven previous starts in the league quite handily in most cases, and they now have a record of 7 wins and 1 loss.
