if there’s one thing we hate to have to do it is to contradict mayors, reeves, councillors, police chiefs and sundry other public officials. For one thing it is not considered “good form” and for another it just doesn’t pay to antagonize the governing body. Cast- ing “good form’f to one side here goes a good contra- diction anyway. I! Mayor William Neal called upon all citizens 01 Richmond Hill to pledge their full support to minor hockey week in Canada. He said some glowing things (and all true) about the advantages a hockey career can confer on a young boy and paid high tribute to those volunteers who give up so much time and effort to make a go of minor hockey. We can only agree whole-heartedly with what our worshipful mayor has to say about hockey - but - he states that hockey is Canada’s national game. Not so sir! Lacrosse is our national game and by virtue of an act of parliament passed sometime in the 1870’s. History was never one of our best subjects so we’re not too sure of the exact date. It’s a minor point except to people who really like lacrosse. The game has lost a lot of popularity over the years so let’s leave it in its official capacity. Leave the game its laurels so to speak. uvuvv any 5.....- ._ __ 7-, Anyhow the way Canadian hockey teams have been belted around both at home and abroad lately a lot of people are very glad that hockey isn’t our national sport. Maybe we would do better on the international lacrosse level at our real national sport. â€" SPORT SPOTS â€" Two Richmond Hill residents had a somewhat harrowing experience while ice-fishing at Lake Sim- coe recently. In fact, as they say at Harrow, “it yvas vv' - v"â€"-â€"- a bit of a vshafifidb”: Bothy men have consented to allow the story of their ordeal to be told to serve as a warning to others. . - .â€" Tom Duffy of Ruggles Avenue and Lyn Tucker of Becker Road were going fishing off Bonsecour Beach. They arrived about 1 pm. on the Sunday af- ternoon and got down to some serious fishing â€" with- out the benefit of a hut. About 3 pm. it began to snow lightly, the temperature dropped suddenly and the snow began to blow and drift. Both men decided discretion was the wisest choice and elected to leave on the double. Snow had blown in around the car wheels and had also blown into the motor. The slightly warm motor melted the snow and thoroughly soaked the car’s ignition system. They were stranded several miles out on the lake and help of any kind was a long way off. When they started out from home they had pack- ed several cans of pea soup. Taking their meagre supplies they set off across the ice for the closest fish but. The hut was unoccupied and locked, but this was a definite emergency and they broke into the but for shelter. As luck would have it the hut was equipped with a propane stove which they proceeded to make good use of. They drank cold pea soup, lukewarm pea soup and scalding hot pea soup until a rescue party arrived at 11 am. on the Monday morning. The owner of the hut was only too happy that the men had been able to take shelter and that nothing serious had Both men are experienced ice fishermen and took the only course they could to save themselves from serious frostbite or worse. If they had attempted to walk over the ice to a town, chances are they’d never have made it. Others have tried before and haven’t even had the opportunity of regretting it. At least not for long. occurred. So take heed my friendlies, Lake Simcoe is a bountiful lake in summer and winter but squalls can catch you at any time of the year. There’s only one way to keep ahead of the game â€" know all the rules of survival and make sure your gear includes a gen- erous measure of common sense. That’s the han- diest tackle of all! By the way the two fishermen got four fish be- tween them. What with the expenses involved and being forced to miss a day of work on Monday they estimate that each fish cost approximately $10.00 per man. Who said that caviar was expensive? There’s a new look in officialdom in the Richmond Hill Minor Ball Association. President James Mans- bridge and members of his stalwart executive have decided to hold only open meetings. Each meeting will include an executive session that may be attend- ed by interested persons. Anyone is free to listen and observe. but is not allowed to take part in dis- cussions that arise during the executive session. Afterwards a general meeting is held where discussion is welcomed. This system has a two-fold purpose. It will make available to all really interested people information that is virtually hot off the griddle. The hope is that the executive will be in closer contact with the gen- eral membership and that at the end of the year candidates for executive office will be found more readily than has been the case heretofore. The next sesson of the RHMBA is scheduled for 7.45 p.m., January 31st at the municipal hall in Richmond Hill. Anyone and everyone who is inter- ested in minor ball is cordially invited to attend.

' Report Ice Good 0n Lake Simcoe For Area Anglers The recent heavy cold snap has thickened the ice consider- ably on Lake Simcoe and ice fishing conditions are excellent. However, a danger‘ of pres- sure ridges and large cracks in the ice still exists and fisher- men are encouraged to seek ice information from hut operators. Catchés of Whitefish and lake trout are good to excellent with most fishermen having a fair share of success. Two American visitors recent- ly reported a catch 9f 140 fish. Snow conditions have done much to bring out the rabbit population as two hunters from Richmond Hill recently bagged 23 in one day in Scott Township. With the cold conditions as severe as they have been re- cently, a grave danger of frost- bite exists in the great outdoors. One word of caution. The old saw about rubbing snow on a frost-bitten part is so much hog- wash. All snow crystals can do is to cut into the already dam- aged flesh adding insult to in- ‘jury. Violent rubbing can cause small blood vessels to rupture and thus aggravate the condi- tion. An application of dry. gen- tle warmth. without rubbing is the best thawing method. A better idea is to take precau- tions first and avoid frostbite like the plague!
