There's a real catch to all this. In order to make this private surveyiyou’ll have to attend games. That’s the whole idea behind the operation. Don’t just hand junior his stick and skates and head him down to the arena. Go with him and watch him play. He’ll enjoy it, his coach will appreciate the support and you'll have more fun than either of them. Fair enough deal, isn’t it? â€" SPORT SPOTS â€" The hot. humid September day last Thursday turned our thoughts once more to a swimming pool for Richmond Hill. Since winter’s coming and yes, we know you can’t swim in the winter time but there (Continued on page 10) Coaches of teams in the R.H.H.A. are a very good group of devoted citizens. They love kids and they love hockey in just that order. Coaches are carefully screened by members of the executive and the very rules of play in the association are designed to ensure good sportsmanship and fair play. But we still say that it is the duty of every parent to get to know the man who will guide the hockey destiny of the boy. ‘ We don’t mean that by getting to know the coach you should offer him free advice and gratuitous criticism. He knows more hockey than you do in all likelihood. Get to know him by watching your team in action. Lend moral support and there is even the odd chore you could do to help out when requested. See how the kids learn to win and to lose and how they are handled when under pressure. Only then can you be satisfied, really satisfied, that you’re glad that this particular man is helping to mould the character of your boy. you 84, NO. 12 There’s only one way to find out for certain and that’s to get to know the man who will coach your son. Maybe, in his youth, the coach didn’t have the advantages of good coaching. It’s not really his fault that he teaches the way he does â€" it’s the only way he ever knew. A few years ago someone penned a little article called, “So You’re My Boy’s Coach!" The article actually pertained to softball but could equally well apply to hockey or to any other sport that children play. The gist of the article was to know if you really knew how your boy was being taught the simple rules of good conduct or was he learning to be a row y. .mmmmmmmm‘kmmmmxmm-xxm‘me‘m m m m n m m m A m A ~ - Over the years many, many children have played organized hockey under the aegis of the Richmond Hill Hockey Association. If they were laid end to end they’d stretch one heck of a long way! This year close to 700 more will don the blades to play the fastest game in the world. Everyone of them will enjoy it to the utmost. Parents will enjoy it too, seeing their own offspring gain in poise and confi- dence on the ice. Learning to take bumps and hand them out, learning that for every winner there has to be a loser and above all, learning to be a good sport. This Saturday, September 22nd, will be the final hockey registration day at Richmond Hill arena. Will~ ing workers will be on hand from 10 am. to 4 pm. to accept registrations and to answer questions about the upcoming season. This is the last day so let’s don’t_have_anyone disappointed. We have needed this added service for many years, more so now than ever before. With the Tennis Club, soccer teams, football teams and innum- erable softball teams making good use of the park it is an absolute necessity. Visiting teams and visit- ing spectators need both dressing rooms and public conveniences. When they are finally provided these people and many others will think more highly of us. We’ll even think more highly of ourselves and that is good for the soul! All kidding to one side, these little appurtenances have fulfilled a needful service. Our fond hope is that by this time next year they'll be long gone and a permanent structure combining dressing rooms and washrooms will be _a source offpride in our park. They could even become a real tourist attraction and a sort of local landmark. People would probably even come from as far as Purpleville and Strange just to see that part of our national heritage so fondly preserved in the Town Park. If it really caught on we could even start to charge admission -â€" to the park, not the conveniences. In the meanwhile as a sort of temporary meas- ure we have two of those functional structures, rented from a supplier. You remember, they used to be called privies, outhouses, Chic Sales and even Houses of Parliament. Not any more though. Modern mer- chandising methods have taken over and they are eoyly called Johnny or Jerry on the spot, or the dime or whatever. ~ ‘ It's kind of nostalgic at that -â€" sort of a touch of Pioneer Village. To heck'with the fact that we've got a perfectly good filtration plant and running Water. We’ll take the good old-fashioned type any day in the week. Roll on October first! That's the day when work projects come under the winter works program. When the winter works program gets under way we’ve been told that public washrooms and a change house will be built in the Town Park. Everyone who ever uses the park for any purpose whatsoever says hallelujah! Satisfaction & Courtesy Are Our Aim OPEN MON. T0 WED. UNTIL 7 RM.

The defensive unit rose to the heights as time after time they piled up certain Eastender scoring threats. In the first quar- ter the Eastenders staged an 80 yard down- field march only to have a stiffening Indian defence halt the scoring drive. A field goal Coach Del Madeley’s Richmond Hill In- dian football team won their third start in the Metro Toronto Football League last Sat- urday. As a result of the 20-1 win over the Eastenders the Indians have vaulted into undisputed possession of first place in the league standings. Lack of pass defence that was causing Coach Madeley some concern has evidently been cured as the Eastenders were able to complete only two passes in this game. Free Estimates RICHMOND HILL It was wind-up day at the town park last Saturday for several hun- dred young ballplayers in all divisions of the Richmond Hill Minor Ball Association.

They staged a steady, relentless downfield march with Dick Reimer, Ian Mc- Intosh, Bill Wilson and Bob Sheridan ripping off long gains. As the second quarter got under way the drive was culminated as Mc- Intosh tossed a bass to Bob Sheridan for the major score. The conversion attempt was not good and the Indians led 6-0.

Veteran Freddie Parsons crashed through to block the kick and recover the ball on the Indian twenty. $1895 $299 $795 (STAFE PHOTO) mmll Brampton Hosts Tennis Players Fourteen members 0 the Richmond Hill Tennis Club were invited to Brampton for a series of friendly tennis mat- ches last Saturday. Early in the season, the Brampton Club had visited Richmond Hill as the two clubs have a series of friendly games worked out .between them. The day was perfect for ten- nis and all who took part thor- oughly enjoyed the day. Plans are being made for the local an- nual competitions with a weiner roast and general meeting to round out the year. This year, in an effort to make things more comfortable for the skaters, no spectators will be admitted to these ses- sions. In the past spectators have caused a certain amount of confusion and have inter- fered with skaters. It is hoped that this move will improve the skaters’ pleasure. Richmond Hill Arena will open for public skating from 8 pm. to 10 pm. on October 6th. Adult admission will be 50c students with student cards 35c and children 25c.

Workers will be on hand from 10 am. - 4 pm. at the arena to receive registrations. If anyone is contemplating registration this year they are urged to attend next Saturday.

More than half of the ex- pected registrations for the forthcoming hockey season were recorded at Richmond Hill Arena last Saturday.

The defensive work of Pete McConnell, Ron Dafoe, Mort McDonald and Duke Knox was of a very high calibre while centre Dave Corkill was a tower of strength throughout the game.
