VOLUME LXXXII, NUMBER 5-2 Last Wednesday night proved once again that there are a grand group of people living in and around Richmond Hill. You opened up your hearts and your purses to aid the minor softball association “mi :n an rlnina mum a hip- assist to seven hundred v The fifth sports day parade celebration has come and gone but the memory will linger for a long time. What can you say about the parade itself. Each and every year it gets bigger and more colourful. This year was definitely no exception to the rule. It was bigger and very, very colourful. If an event can come so far in only five years what will it be like af- ter twenty-five? 1 1,,_ L--.- and, in 5 children. Irv]. vvvvlnv.’ n. For five Vs'traight years the parade has been blessed with good’weather. This year the weather- man outdid himself. Rain threatgned thg entirg dany. A few minutes before the parade was to make its Way down Yonge Street clouds again moved in. Sud- denly, as if someone had pushed a button, the clouds parted and the sun shone. Parade executives heaved a collective sigh of relief _and success was assured.‘ Originally the parade was scheduled for the week previous. At the last moment it was found that the parade would conflict with the opening of the Kinsmen’s Carnival. A last minute decision by the parade committee postponed the event for a week. And what happened on the night originally schedul- ed? It rained and rained and rained. What special crystal ball do these people use? A great many people pooled their energies and resources to make the parade go. Most of them are the unsung heroes who worked in the background â€"â€" selling tickets, building floats, making hundreds of phone calls and taking care of the thousand and one details that have to be taken care of. This was not a show put on by a few people but rather a whole- Iale endorsement of the cause represented by a few people e- children. 4L1_1_L.‘- Private citizens, businessmen, visiting athletes and bands, dozens of children, each and every one made a great contribution to the overall success of the venture. And there is not much doubt that this was the most successful night that the parade has ever enjoyed. ‘While we’re at it let’s not fail to give a big hand to the works department of Richmond Hill and to the police department for their consider- able support and much appreciated co-operation. The show could never have been put on the road without their help. .I (VWAML- The most refreshing thing about the Sports Parade is that this is an event staged by a very active group to further their cause. They don’t ask some- thing for nothing and, realizing that it takes a great deal of money to take care of seven hundred children, do something to raise the necessary money. If you’ve ever seen the show you’ll know that it is no small effort. No one is coerced into buying an admission ticket â€" money is raised by selling draw tickets and nobody is ever forced to buy. This parade seems to be the one event each year that captures the imagination of the whole town. For a few hours, once each year, everyone seems to .

It is such willing co-operation that has ensured the success of the venture year after year. This was the largest par- ade yet in the five year his- tory of Sports Day. Float judges were hard put to come up with winners as the quality of float entries was very high. The winning float was entered by the Richmond Heights Centre and paid tribute to the To- onto Maple Leafs and the winning of the Stanley Cup. Two hockey players in Maple Leaf colours, constructed en- tirely of flowers were poised either side of a large replica of the Stanley Cup.
