WILSON - NIBLETT VOL. 84, NUMBER 47 His knowledge of all facets of water and boating safety has been painstakingly gathered in a twenty- four year stint in the R.C.M.P. A lot of this service has been in the Peterboro and Kawartha Lakes area where water sports of all kinds abound. Along the way he has also acquired a healthy respect for boats. Such a respect in fact that he finds no pleasure in boating himself. Many times he has assisted in the investigation of boating mishaps and has had to pull drowning victims from the water. No wonder he is such a dedicated boating and water safety instructor! As for the lack of a swimming pool in this immediate area it won’t concern him much longer. On July 10th Sergeant Wilson is being transferred to the London district where there ARE swimming pools. He’ll be able to carry on his crusade for boating and water safety with facilities available for proper demonstration. It won’t matter too much to him that there isn’t a swimming pool around here â€" but what about the rest of us who aren’t leaving?? And how about the kids who live here? Preaching safety is one thing but who can learn to play a violin by reading a book? Sergeant Wilson is 100 per cent correct â€" we do need a swimming pool. The good sergeant is now living in Richmond Hill. He likes the town, the surrounding countryside and especially he likes the people. As far as he is concerned there is one big drawback in this area â€" the lack of a swimming pool where children and adults can be taught how to swim along with the rudiments of water safety. In his book this is a serious lack in a town of this size. , Sergeant Bud Wilson of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police is a busy man. Not in the sense that he is out chasing a desperate criminal across frozen Arctic wastes -- the popular film version of a moun- tie’s life â€"- but because Sergeant Wilson is an expert on water safety with special emphasis on boating safety. He spends a goodly portion of his own time in teaching others how to stay alive and healthy in this province of many waters. His lectures on boating safety are much sought after. If he was to fulfil every lecture engagement that was requested of him there would have to be 25 hours in every day and at least eight days to the week. But he does what he can, when he can, to try to keep people alive and preferably dry. Last Thursday night Kent Clothes junior ball at the Richmond Hill Town Park. It was strictly 3 nothing game with not a darned thing at stake. What it did do was to give softball fans an advance peek at both clubs before their respective seasons open. The brief pre-season preview did give promise of an interesting softball season to come.

Mr. Bellevance said the Peterson system in which the men will bowl only once and score a point for a win and a point ’for every 50 bowled will be used. Ten out of the 30 will bowl against each other for a trophy and cash prize later in June. Anglers in the Lake Simcoe district were out in smaller numbers than usual, a number reporting that water and other conditions of cool, wet weather were unfavorable and catches below normal. Conservation officers in the district reported that migrating trout are still in the Nottawasaga River and tributary streams. The fish are not expected to return to Georgian Bay until sometime in June. depend- ing on water levels and weather factors. Provincial parks in the dis- trict officially opened May 10 and with improving weather; both campers and picnickingl visitors were out in the same number as reported opening weekend in 1962.

At 5.39 am. one morning friend farmer encountered a pair of wolves that had killed and were worrying a cock pheasant. Hurrying into the house he grabbed a .22 calibre rifle and hast- ened to the attack. Quite a few mallards and blacks are reported in the local area with a few wood ducks thrown in for good measure. Partridge seem Drawing a bead on the larger of the two wolves he cut loose with his first shot and hit the animal in one paw. His second shot grazed the side of the wolf and both animals beat a retreat into the long grass. Discretion being much the better part of valour the farmer wisely elected to let them make good their escape. Since then the pair have been reported seen in the same general area. Some one will probably collect a bounty on the pair in the not too distant future. The season’s ‘first game honours’ of the Richmond Hill Lawn Bowling Club were captured by teams captained by Les Langs and Morley Hall. First prize honours were taken by Les Lang’s team comprised of Miss M. Scrivener and R. Casement. Second prize went to Morley Hall’s team comprised of Mrs. Pat Scott and R. Meeks. Reeve Floyd Perkins is shown in the above photograph at the club’s first game as he prepares to deliver his ball. Next to Reeve Perkins is Town Clerk Russell Lynett watching his bowl travel across the green. Poor weather failed to dim the spirits of the players and about 35 fiersons turned out for the event mm before his pileup, the first qualifying heat. the trophy dash for heat winners, and the semi- final. Both his and Britton’s car will require considerable repairs. __ Two startled motorists encountered deer on high- way 48 north ,of number 7 highway. End result two sets of frayed nerves, two battered cars and two very dead deer. Just another hazard added to highway travel! to be coming back in fair numbers while the Union- ville district was honored recently by a visit from three Canada geese. Unsettled weather con- ditions in recent days has done much to upset fishing in Lake Simcoe. Rains wash much mud down into the‘lake and fishing de- teriorates rapidly in the mud stained water. Fish- ermen have found that fishing conditions improve markedly as the waters clear. Test this theory the next time you go to the lake and see if it holds up. Of course some uneducat- ed fish haven’t been filled in on the muddy water bit and will get caught any way which proves that there really is one born every minute. HOME PAPER OF THE DISTRICT SINCE 1878 Earn Good NameFor Our Town ‘1 Testament of the good con- duct and sportsmanlike bearing of the members of Richmond Hill’s bantam hockey players who visited Georgetown during the recent Easter week games is contained in a letter from E.

We hope that your boys enjoyed their stay in Georgetown and would be anxious to come back in the years to come. Dear Sir. I would like at this time to express, on behalf of the council and the citizens of Georgetown, our sincere admiration for your boys when they visited our town during Easter Week for the bantam hockey tourna- ment. Many of the citizens of Georgetown helped in this tournament, however, we of the town of Georgetown pay special tribute to our own Walter ‘Red’ Asseltine, and I am sure that your boys all know and appre- ciate the tremendous ef- forts of ‘Red’ on their be- half. “\ww \\\\\\\\~ k\m\\\\ \\\\‘\\\\‘ Dynes Jewellers and Kent Clothes staged an exhibition game in Richmond Hill last Thursday night.

The Jewellers displayed a little edginess and uncertainty in the infield. but Neb Gayman at the shortstop spot seems to be the answer to a crying need in the Jeweller infield. The fact that Gayman swings a po- tent bat also adds additional frosting to the cake. Kent Clothes seem to be a more stable club than they were at the end of last season. Larry Guio seems to be a much improved hurler and catcher Red Bowen provides some solid backstopping.

He eventually steadied away and showed the fine pitch- ing form which made him the toast of Mount Albert last season. Although soft spots which need work were shown by both teams. the overall result was promising. Coaches Joe Cor- nack and Russ Cripps were generally pleased with the play of their respective teams. Some additional changes and experi- ments will be made before the regular season gets under way, but both teams appear much stronger than last year’s ver- sion.
