. . . . . . SPORT SPOTS. 10 THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, OnW BY RENA WHITE The ladies of the curling club held th‘elr annual meeting on April 9th with approximate- ly 100 ladies attending. The committees‘ heads gave their reports and a question period followed which led to many discussions and varied i- deas from the ladies. I am sure the 1963-64 executive will be busy trying to promote these suggestions. The president Mrs. Doris Vance gave a very interesting report. thanking the members of her executive and also the committee members for their outstanding work and their (Continued from page 9) heads before too much damage is done - either to their attitude to the game or to some youngster’s anatomy. The speed and resiliency of youth com- bined with knowledge and know-how makes for a very exciting brand of hockey. Lots Of Work This tremendous improvement has not been the result of any haphazard system. It is the result of endless hours of work by league executive members and by coaches who volunteer to work in the R.H.- M.H.A. system. For several years now a hockey school has been conducted for the six to eight year olds. Tykes come into this school who haven’t even yet learned how to tie their own skate laces. After a couple of years in this set-up they are ready h mo” ~ faster company. By this time they not only know how to tie skate laces but can even tell old Dad 3 thing or two about the art of playing good hockey. It is about then that Dad realizes he’d better brush up a little if he wants to stay even with junior. He starts to watch games, gets interested and quite often volunteers to help out in a small way. First thing he knows he’s a coach. From here on in Dad is hooked. First thing he knows he’s elected to an executive job and ends up as a convenor of a section of the league. Or he might be a registrar. a secretary or accountant, a statistician or hold any of a dozen other jobs. Some- times pressure 01‘ business or personal reasons force them to retire but another father is ready, willing and able to step into the breach. It's quite a lively organization! By big business we mean that this year the total bills paid out by the R.M.H.A. will amount to some- thing very close to fifteen thousand dollars. For a bunch of volunteer workers that's one heck of a big chunk of money to raise. And yet it has been raised, year after year - by dint of hard work - by plotting, planning and scheming - selling draw tickets and badgéring John Q. Public into buying booster tickets and attending special events nights. There is no formal mothersfrauxiliary but a lot of mothers sell Mothers Avid Spectators The men (and women - for mothers make the most avid spectators) who run this huge operation have provided hockey of a very high standard for some 800 boys. Go anywhere you like and compare the calibre of hockey played at Richmond Hill Arena in the house league organization with that of any other group. You'll find that it compares very fav- ourably with the best to be found anywhere in the country. It has also become a big business propo- sitlon. a Whale of a pile of draw tickets. They also wash and darn sweaters, hockey stockings and chauffeur junior to games when the old man can’t make it. Everybody works in this organization - that's just the way the cookie crumbles! Credit Due To Many So many people deserve such a lot of credit that it is almost impossible to name names. There are fellows like Tubby Barrow, Bob Jackson, Bob Pimm, Barry Brent, Eric Charity, Earl Methe, Ted Dobbs, Bill McVean and Bob McKenna, the list is just too long and our memory is just not that good. If they’ll all accept a blanket congratulatory message it would make things a. whole lot easier. So congratulations to all those people who have made the minor hockey group in Richmond Hill such a howling success. You have provided a hockey education for hundreds of boys and given them a healthy outlet for youthful energies. You have taught them to play by the rules, respect authority and to function as a member of a group for the benefit of the group. By your efforts the game has reached a very high standard in Richmond Hill while stan- derd‘s of conduct have been raised equally high for players, coaches and officials. It is a real achieve- ment and something that every last one of you can takeApride in. It may be all over for this year but we’re look- ing forward to next season already. Maybe most of you are glad it’s all over right now but come fall you’ll feel the old urge. For the sake of the continued success of the R.H.M.H.A. we sincerely hope that you’ll all be back. Hockey, the league and especially the kids, need people like you. And believe it or not we’re all very grateful for the splendid job you’ve done this year and in the past!

Per- mission for the use of the sch- ool property was granted at the last meeting of the school board when a representative of the recreation committee ap- peared before the board to make the request. It is likely. however, that during the cour- se of the summer some interru- ption of baseball schedules may be necessary to allow for the paving and other summer maintenance projects to school- yards. The board granted per- mission for the use of their property on the understanding that no activity would take place on school property during the time maintenance work was being carried out.

Perch fishermen are having reasonable success at French- man's Bay and Cook's Bay but so far smelt lovers have been frustrated. A good warm rain could bring the tasty little fish out of hldlng in the very near future. Pike fishing is all but over but pike, plckerel and rainbow trout have all been good. One of the really entertaining sights to be seen in this pro- vince is the rainbow run at Al- liston. It's well worth a trip for the entire family. May the 11th will open the pickerel season south of, but not including the French River or Lake Nlpissing. Pike are alâ€" so open on the same date. Hockey may be over in Rich- mond Hill but Reg Acomb. Jim Wilson and the North End Cleaners bantam hockey team will carry on for a while yet.

As the public skating seSSion came to a close it wasâ€"time to pull the switches on the freezing plant and let the ice melt away. Within a few days all traces of ice will have been long gone from the arena. Work will com- mence on a major renovation job and the appearance of the old building will be greatly changed. Facilities at the old arena will be vastly improved by these renovations and next hockey and skating season should be more enjoyable than ever before.

He gave up an average of 1.6 goals per game over a 17 game stretch to compile a very enviable record. Coach Bill Points and mana- ger Marsh Amos have done a great job with the midget team.
