An editorial column in “The Liberal” stated that Premier Mitchell Hepburn’s firm stand against the ‘ C.I.0. would have big American industrial firms rac- 1 ing into Ontario to set up shop. The editorial made ‘ mention of the fact that this industry would be warm- ly welcomed in Richmond Hill. And you know it still I would. These Americans are slow starters. Twenty- ‘ five y_earsÂ¥and_the influx hasn't begun yet! The Richmond Hill Senior Hockey League have experienced and probably will continue to experience the same general apathy. An excuse is often made that these days there are just too many other distrac- tions (or attractionsâ€"whichever you prefer) and television is cited as the number one bugbear. What TV programs were you watching in 1937? "The Barrie Examiner got into the act in 1937 by plgkmg‘ an all-star softball team from players in the Sxmcoe County Softball Association. Five towns ‘wereJepresented in the league, Allandale. Alliston, Aurora, Newmaq'ket and Richmond Hill. Three Richmond Hill players made the all-star team â€" Pitcher Ted Bennett, Catcher Charlie Proctor and First Baseman Harold Echlin. How many of you know these gentlemen? - SEETHE TDP CANADIAN GULF PROS CDMPETING FDR This summer, after a brief revival of two years. lacrosse bowed out of the Richmond Hill sport scene. Same thing in 1937. In both cases the reason given was lack of fan support and the impossibility of car- rying on in the face of public apathy. Hockey teams of the era played a spirited brand of hatkay but they, too, were hamstrung‘ for operating expenses.

We also wondered if, as we often hear, people supported sporting activities more in the “good old days” than they do today. Some very sur- prising answers turned up and conditions in 1937-38 weren’t much different from what they are today and it was a real bull going through all those old news- paper files for information! In 1937 the Ontario Department of Highways raised the speed limit on highways from 35 to 50 m.p.h.. An editorial hue and cry was raised about excesswe speed and the fatal consequences that would befall. Almost every issue of the paper car- ried an advertisement by the Department of High- ways complete with ghastly pictures of the end re- sult. The Cornwall Standard Freeholder ran an editorial which stated that “most accidents occur from 80 m.p.h. speeds on 40 mph. roads with 20 m.p.}Ld_rivers at the wheel 3” So what else is new? 3 figat n “1 éév- " ’// non cum At this particular time of year there are a great many things going on in the local sporting world. Some six hundred boys and girls are involved in softball leagues run by the Richmond Hill Minor Ball Association, while four older teams are engaged in provincial playdowns. Soccer is in full swing. tennis bugs are swinging away like crazy, rugger and foot- ball practices are being held for the upcoming season with golfers and lawn bowlers all enjoying their fav- ourite recreational pastime.
