VOLUME LXXXIV, VOLUME 2 Most of these Richmond Hill kite flyers are making their own high flyers. Some of the kites afre of weird design, outsize dimensions and some 1n- genious control methods are being used. B was n W/’ RON CRAINI An ancient sport, one that goes back many thousands of years, has taken a new lease on life. Children and adults alike seem to be getting a trem- endous kick out of flying kites. And not the store bought variety either. It used to be that a kite was controlled by a simple ball of string and a stick to wind the string on. A lot of kites are still flown this way but innov- ations have crept in. A bait casting reel on a fibre glass rod makes a very effective control and string can be let out and brought in quickly. One fellow we know constructed a home made hand winch that doesa terrific job. The old diamond pattern kite is still the most popular but a fair number of box kites have made an appearance. Coverings for the kites range from linen to the plastic of cleaners bags but brown paper and newspaper are used extensively. If you should be interested in making a kite we looked up the Book of Knowledge just to see what they had to say about it. Dimensions are up to the maker and are only controlled by the material avail- able. There is a formula given which states that the cross stick should be 5/6ths the length of the vertical stick. The cross stick should be mounted at a point 1/4. the distance down the vertical stick. And those are the only requirements. Number one son at our house has discovered that a kite four feet high and forty inches wide makes a real flyer. And those bamboo stakes are just about four feet long â€" very nice coincidence. This is a great way of getting rid of old neckties. You know the ones that have been hanging around for years. A nice big kite will take four of them to make a tail and that takes care of a small cleaning problems We got fancy the other day and flew a large plastic covered kite using a rod and reel. On the reel was about 200 yards of perfectly good 6 lb. test monofilament line. The kite flew very well, so well in fact that the line parted. Now we don’t own any more monofilament line. The kite was recovered about half a mile away but the line resembled a dish of cold spaghetti and that was the end of that. Although the kites themselves are home made, the string and sticks have to be purchased. Local merchants have sold more balls of twine in the last few days than they’ve sold in many a year. Pack- ages of thin bamboo canes, normally used for stak- ing garden plants, are sold in bundles and make ex- cellent kite sticks. The Richmond Hill Minor Softball Association schedule is in full swing with teams battling to win. Nearly 700 children are engaged in the action with games being played every night of the week. Young Johnny, and sometimes his parents, faithfully turns out for every game. Adults and kids alike seem to be getting a real charge out of flying their own creations. It’s a cheap and harmless occupation provided you don’t use monofilament line and provided you keep away from hydro wires. And then, if your loving spouse tells you to go fly a kite, you can. And enjoy doing it too! â€" SPORT SPOTS â€" There was a fee paid of one dollar to register every boy and girl who wanted to play. The price was low enough and most families could afford it without too much trouble. In some cases gloves were purchased and this raised the ante considerably. Sometimes, after the excitement of a game, gloves are forgotten. They have been dropped off at the end of an inning and Johnny doesn’t realize he hasn’t got his glove until he gets home. It’s under- standable, they’re still only kids. Back they go to the scene of the game and their glove is gone. Most of these gloves have names and addresses on them -â€" the young players are proud of their own glove. Quite often, despite the precaution of the name and address. the glove is gone for good. These gloves mean a lot to these kids and in some cases represent a small financial sacrifice by their parents. If you should happen to find one after a game, and there is a name and address in it, please try to contact the owner. Any equipment found after a game can always be turned over to a team coach or to the umpire. They’ll see that the glove or what- ever is kept safely for the owner to claim it. The kids would appreciate it and so would the parents. â€" SPORT SPOTS â€" Richmond Hill playgrounds are swarming with youngsters taking part in the summer program. They are learning games, craft work, tumbling and a great many other things and enjoying every mom- ent of it. Playground supervisors are busy people but the busiest of the lot is Mrs. Jean Thomson, re- creation director of Richmond Hill. Jean is kept busy driving from one playground centre to another throughout the day. She has a thousand questions to answer. equipment to deliver and just generally keep an eye on the overall pro- ceedings. And it does give mothers a break for at least part of the day. These playground sessions have become a big part of summer life for the kids. Each ,vear sees the program grow in scone and diversihr of things offered Some year soon, swimming will be a major part of the program â€" in our own municipal swimming pool. That should round the program out nicely.

He ran the bases in a style reminiscent of the great Jesse Owens at his best and stole bases with the skill of Rafiles Smith. He also contributed two singles to the losing cause. Bil-l Bowen, pitching for the Jewellers, got rough treatment from the Gozzola and Allen squad. They banged out 13 hits, The Clothiers gave Aurora a scare on Tuesday of last week and forced the older, more ex- perienced team to settle for a tie. Aurora had a three to two lead going into the seventh in- ning but, by the time the inning ended the men of Kent had gone ahead 5 to 3. ‘ In the eighth inning, Kents added three more runs to go out ahead 8-3. With Larry Guio going steadily on the mound. all indications pointed toward a Kent victory. As Aurora came to bat in the ninth inning, the Kent kids seemed to develop a bad case of jitters. Two certain outs, routine fly balls to the outâ€" field, were hobbled. Five ,runs were added to the Aurora total, knotting the score at 8‘ all. Dynes Beaten 7-0&8-4 By League Leading G.&A.

Dynes had little to encourage theirn in the 7-0 loss but did fare a little better in the 8-4 game Thursday night. Individual- winners were Ella Inches. Joan Gallie and Gerry Annett. The club has also announced plans for its first annual field shoot to be held July 29 in con- junction wi-hh the York County Bowmen Championships. The meet will open at 10 am. According to another club anâ€" nouncement, a permanent tro- phy will be awarded to any club member shooting big game with a bow and arrow this year.

The '“In Essentials Unity; in Non-Essentials Liberty; in all things Charity” bottom of the ninth inning and the game ended in a tie. Extra innings had to be waiv- ed dUe to the 11 pm. curfew which exists in the Richmond Hill Town Park. Last Thursday Markham gave Kents a 10-2 lesson in playing softball. Roy Finlayson made his initial appearance on the mound for Kents but got poor support from his team mates in the early innings. He was relieved by Guio in the ninth. With OASA playdowns loom- ing closer and closer, coaches Joe Cormack and A1 Webster desperately need a good junior age pitcher. Guio is a strong hurler who can go the route while Downing can be counted on for three or four good in- nings. If any junior pitcher would like to offer his serv- ice or have someone take a look at his wares. contact Joe Cormack at TU. 4-3809. The need is urgent and the two coaches will see to it that any hurler gets every opport- unity to prove his worth. SUPER CARPET CLEANING C0. DRAPES, CARPETS, RUGS, FURNITURE.

IQ. is a pleasure to see these young ladies in action. They are thinking like competent softball players on every play and a large share of credit must go to their coach and sponsor. When the PWSV pI-aydowns rmll around we are convinced the Mi-c Macs will be in the thick of the battle. If they con- tinue to play and improve as they have done So far this season, a provincial softball title is a distinct possibility. So far this season the Mic Macs are unbeaten in six starts and from present indications could get through the league without ever tasting defeat. The team spirit of the club is high with every player giv- ln-g her full support to the cause. Infielders and outfielders have been well drilled in the basic fundamentals of softball by McAndrews.

On Thursday the Ladies drop- ped a 10-8 decision to Progress at Dieppe Park.
