VOL. 84, NUMBERâ€"175” Want to feel ‘20 years younger in a hurry? Just go to a high school football game and the years drop away like magic. There’s nothing to take, nothing (Continued on page 10) The general store has been gone for quite a while, but, until recently the softball géreen and fencing were still there. Now it’s all gone as earth movers and bulldozers batter and chew to change the very contours of the land. Right field was really something. The long, long grass in deep right field hit a gully. Sort of a pint- sized Grand Canyon. Many an unwary right fielder charging back on a long hit ball has suddenly van- ished from the ken of mortal man only to reappear apparently from the bowels of the earth itself. If it did nothing else it added a lot of spice to the game! About six years ago, Cec. Turnbull, purveyor par excellence of Carrville Road and Russ “Casey” Cripps of Richmond Hill, were rival team managers. Their teams were scheduled to play in the Langstaff ball park. The plate umpire showed up but somehow the base umpire got lost in the shuffle. Bill Swarbrick, proprietor of the Texaco station in Richvale, was pre- vailed upon to take over the base calling duties. ,"u «h.. The game was a ’Light fit and Russ Cripps crew finally eked out a 3-2 win. Then the fun began. As a good manager should, Cec. Turnbull registered a protest that a league umpire had not officiated and the game could only be recognized as an exhibition game. Very soon it will be a part of a highly engineered, sweeping macadam curve. As cars whizz around it on their busy way to somewhere or other their oc- cupants will probably never know how many hard- fought softball games were played on that very ground. This was a-softball diamond with a character all its very own. Along the third base line ran the wall of the general store, the same store that once housed the now deful‘lct_Langstafl‘ post office. .Construction of the new Cloverleaf for the High- way 7 extension has obliterated the old Langstafl‘ softball diamond located at the northwest corner of the ygngstaff S_i_de1jp_gd and Yonge Street. And he’s probably, if not definitely, absolutely right. So the moral of the tale would seem to be “let the world go to the dogs and we’ll all be better off” â€" or something like that. With the hunting season rapidly approaching we wonder just how many dogs will suffer buckshot wounds? Or even worse? More than one or two, that’s for sure! Experts even claim that the season is even tougher on cows as gay nimrods blast away at any and all four legged targets. Two-legged tar- gets are irresistible at times as well! If you’re planning a hunting trip real soon, please, for everyone’s sake, obey all the laws of safe and sane hunting. Life is hard enough without go- ing out :che hard and _unneoe§sary way. And please take it’awfully evasy 6n the dogs and cows, they’re fairly expensive and not intended to be expendable. â€" SPORTS SPOTS â€"- Progress has wiped out another\gge;.”landma1~k that has both pleasant, and sometimeS'imusing mem- ories, for a lot of residents. We are very fortunate in this area in having such a fine canine control officer as James Ryan. This man loves dogs and insists that there is no such thing as a bad dog, merely bad dog owners. He also states that if every human being were to give as much love and loyalty to each other as a dog gives to his master, this world_“ould be a true Utopia. In some respects a dog-catcher is like a hangman. Nobody ever has a nice word to say about them and their work is definitely not often appreciated. And yet the way our society is constituted today both groups perform a necessary function. At least the dog-catcher does. There’s a lot of controversy about the other occupation. Dog catcher is an old-fashioned term. The title today is canine control officer and their job is not to “catch” dogs and haul them off to durance vile but to protect the dog and members of the public at large.
