The football Indians are and it’s killing to watch so I pended these hot nights! No perature, the football hopefuls giving it the old college try. m As this is written the night before the Coloured CnWboYâ€"Allencourt game who can tell what actuallv happened? Maybe it rained or maybe it wasn’t such a spectacle. The crystal ball grows dim indeed! We hope the show went on as planned and also hope that our softball fame grows apace. It won't hurt us a little bit! ing in other towns is an noxsmg abroad. A lot 01 me interested people are businessmen or possibly manufacturers as these are the people who most often support teams. It doesn’t hurt a little bit to get our fame noised abroad and good teams play- ing in other towns is an excellent way of doing some 'nnieinn- “bum”: Like we've said before sport, and team partici- pation in sport, carry the name of a town before the public and it‘s darn cheap advertising. A town with the reputation of being a live sports centre gets cred- it for a lot of other things as well. For one thing, people get to know where a town is. and then go on to enquire as to facilities, schools, churches, popula- tion, etc. Coach Russ Cripps of the good Allencourt Lanes Softball Club got a long distance call from a Mr. Henry Fisher in Sioux City, Iowa. Apparently they grow more than corn in Iowa, as Mr. Fisher wanted to bring his Coloured Cowboy softball team to Rich- mond Hill for an exhibition game. Mr. Cripps was more than somewhat astonished and wanted to know how Fisher knew about Rich- mond Hill. He was told that Richmond Hill was touted as a really good softball centre and this was the reason for the long distance call. It could be blarney or even a good brand of baloney but it‘s nice just the same. In the meantime hats off to a game bunch of la- crosse players who are doing it the hard way. If you possibly can attend a game in Richmond Hill take a look and chances are you’ll really enjoy it. Someday with a lot of luck and support we might even have a team playing in the Mann Cup finals. Don’t be so sure it can’t happen here! Maybe it's already too late for this year but club executives are looking forward to a busy fall and win~ ter season in a drive to raise funds for next year. They won’t be asking for handouts or charity in any form but will provide entertainment value for monies received. Plans are afoot to hold winter and spring dances and one or two other little deals that will jell later. Could be that next year might be an entirely difierent story. Here in Richmond Hill we are proud, and rightly so, of our rose industry and we take great civic/pride in letting everyone know about it. We are fast gath- ering a reputation as being one of the real hotbeds of softball in Ontario and a lot of us are proud of that, again rightly so. With a little spectator support Rich- mond Hill could mean something in the lacrosse world as well. - Gate receipts are split with the Arena Associa- tion on a mutually agreeable basis. Thanks to the generous terms granted by the association the la- crosse team is still slightly solvent but only just.

J. PICKING This started out to be a fish story a few days ago. A more-or-less ordinary “big fish” story, except that it had a little bit of an unusual twist. But, as it went along, it turned into a journey back into Lions Club activities of yesteryear and a plunge into fish biology, with one helper after another aiding in track- ing down an answer to a question. That question: “How did it get where it was?” The story of events started pointed out rthat this was the when Doug Gilbert of Bedford second Ibig fish caught locally Park Floral Company Ltd., Rich- within a few ’weeks.

And, to give a double check, its weight proved right for a fish of that age, hatched in 1954. So the mystery as to how Doug Gilbert’s big fish got into the Mill Pond was solved. It apparently came from spawn ;from the fish put in the pond by the Lions 'way back in 1953. And there ends the tale of iDoug.

And, to give a double check, its weight proved right for a fish of that age, hatched in 1954. Dr. Garside came up with another answer. He asked for a scale. Scales on a fish, he said, could be counted just like the rings on a tree and would give the exact age. So the big‘ fish, by now cooked and half- original settlers, weighing around a pound and a half, it would now be around twelve or thirteen years oldâ€"a regua lar grand-daddy of a fish.

MacKay, of 30 Arnold Crescent, of the Department of Lands and For- ests, and also president of the Richmond Hill Horticultural Society.
