10 THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thursday, v v v. auv..v Many people would like to see the arena run by the Town of Richmond Hill. The thought has a lot of merit on the surface but every New Year’s day would see a change of management in all pro- bability. How successful would any business be if you kicked out the top brass every year? By running the arena the way they have the association has been able to pay it’s debts and debentures out of yearly profit. And the mill rate has never been affected in any way. The whole operation has been con- ducted in a most shrewd and businesslike manner 1-11 I) uuvvuu “- w nu,”â€" -..- Very soon the shape and appearance of the old arena will change drastically and for the better. The thousands of people who have used the facilities of Richmond Hill Arena in past years and the thou- sands more who will use them in years to come, owe a big vote of thanks to the hard working, un- paid workers of the arena association. As they say in the Manchester Guardian, “Well done chaps!” WORTHWHILE PROJECT Mayor William Neal had a few very pertinent remarks to make at the dinner celebratingthe final payment of the artificial ice debenture debt. He com- mented that the ice had been obtained by public effort - at no cost to the Town of Richmond Hill. It is his feeling, and, we hope, the feeling of many others that we’ll get a swimming pool in the same way. ‘ ‘ r ALA Chances are pretty good that! every outboard skipper who enjoys trailer boating will some‘ fday encounter a navigation lock. Although locking through is not a difficult procedure, it’s ‘only good sense to know some- thing about it beforehand. Here are a few suggestions from the Johnson News Bureau. Danny n I. What a natural project for anyone of the ser- vice clubs. Form a stock company and sell deben- tures to members of John Q. Public. A lot of coura- geous members of the same public bought deben- tures in the arena â€" got paid interest and have their principal back safe and sound. So why not let’s have a crack at getting a swimming pool the same way? Any service club or other organization care to take on a really worth while project? When approaching a lock; stay within the channel mark- 'ers and away from the spillway side of the dam. Stop a good distance from the lock and wait ffi" “\e lockmasmr m give me signal to enter.

Here are a few more suggestions which will protect the boat and its passengers. Place a couple of tenders between the boat and the lock wall to keep the boat from being damaged as it scrapes the side of the wall. Use .a boat hook to keep your boat away from the wall and other boats. All passengers should remain seated during lockage. The lockmaster has the same authority over a boat in a lock as a traffic policeman has over a car at an intersection. Fol- low his instructions. He will signal when it's time to leave.

Pickerel and the Holland River just don‘t mix as a rule but this one was either off course or hadn‘t heard that no self-respecting piekerel would be caught in the Holland River.

June 6, 1963 lb. 59¢ Estelle Markham Pupils Music Recital June 14 Estelle Markham ARCT, or- ganist and choir director of Thornhill’s Holy Trinity Ang- lican Church and teacher of piano, theory and organ to al- most sixty pupils will hold her annual pupils’ piano recital on June 14th. The location will be Richmond Hill High School, be- ginning at 7.30 pm. o-v Estelle has been teaching for many years in Toronto, Rich- mond Hill and Thornhill. She is amazed at the calibre of stu- dents that she has to-day. They are not only interested in piano studies. but practise well and because of this, develop quick- ly. Take for instance Marietta Evans. Two years ago Marietta was just a beginner, and now she is trying her grade four conservatory examination. She came third at the Kiwanis Fest- ival, which draws students from all over Ontario, many of whom have been taking music for five ‘or six years, and just recently came second at the York Music Festival in Woodbridge. Her marks were 84 out of 100! Estelle has pupils of all ages, and ranging from beginners to students studying for their ARCT. One of her pupils, Mrs. Harold Melsness, better known as Joan Hall when she sings at the Gaslight in Toronto, is studiously working at the piano to help her in teaching singing. Joan, incidently, is also the ‘soloist at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church where Estelle's hus- band, Ralph is in charge of the music. The graded examinations of the Royal Conservatory are ex- cellent because they make it necessary to learn more than just the notes. Emphasis is al- so put on technique, rudiments, ear training and sight reading, all important in the rounding out of the young would-be mus- ‘ician. They also give parents a score card of how their child is progressing. However. in some ways Es- telle believes the competitions and recitals are as important as examinations if not more so. It is true that often much of the theory and other extras are forgotten, but the gains are stage presence, a competitive spirit and a desire to learn‘ more and do better. ‘ Often too. much time in a half hour piano lesson is taken up on theory and the basis of‘ music which should really be dealt with on their own. The piano lesson is really a place to turn notes on lines and spaces on a piece of paper into mus- ical expression. whether ab- stract or picturesque. This is where the teacher‘s greatest challenge lies, not in correcting notes and fingering.

She believes it you start with a good teacher, you should stay with him or her through to your ARCT. Teacher hop- ping tends to retard mus- ical training since there is always a period of adjust- ment necessary. Soccer Results STANDINGS P W even on o'ccasion sent pupils home without a lesson until they learn the pote_§. On the whole though, stu- dents should have at least a half hour a week, and two hours a week when in more ad- vanced grades. Often sickness and other activities cut into this and in hopes of correct. ing it next year. Estelle is teaching only by the term. i.e. - at least 10 lessons must be taken in a ten week period. The rates will be $25.00 a term. In addition she studied organ with Douglas Bodle, well known harpsichordist and org- anist in Toronto. She played for services occasionally at Eg- linton United Church, was or- ganist and choir director at Chalmer‘s United, Mount Den- nis; at St. Stephen’s Anglican in Maple; assistant organist at St. Mary’s Anglican in Rich- mond Hill and is presently or- ganist and choir director at Holy Trinity Anglican in Thornhill. Carrying on with her studies she has taken special organ‘ courses at the University of Syracuse and summer teaching courses at the Royal Conser- vatory in Toronto. 4 STOUFFVXLLE Lions Club are 2 holding a huge chicken har- Dbeque and street dance June 026. Last year's event drew 0 hundreds of area residents . The highlight of each year is the pupils’ annual piano re- cital. This plus the rehearsal is treated as a lesson in itself to defray as much of the expense as possible. In this way the ad- mission is kept to a nominal 50c and the proceeds will be given to the Thornhaven School for Retarded Children. It is hoped that all interested persons, including relatives, friends and teachers of the pupils will be able to come out and enjoy their quite capable musicianship and give them encouragement to continue in their musical studies. Richmond Hill Team Leads Soccer FieId Richmond Hill United re- mained on top of the 12 team Newmarket and District Soccer League with a convincing 7-2 victory in Orillia last Saturday. Led by high scoring centreâ€" forward Joe Lukovits with four goals, (his second hat-trick in the short season), Richmond Hill took command right from the start, and the final outcome was never in doubt. Inside-right Leighton Davies headed home two goals and Bob Lewis added the seventh from the penalty spot as the local team ran up the respectable total of twenty- ‘four goals while holding the opposition to only six in the first five games. Estelle started the piano at age four with her mother and received formal in- struction with Miss K. Grove, piano, and Miss L. M. McBain theory, from grade six through to obâ€" taining her concert piano performer's degree of ARCT. She then did post graduate work with Clem- ent Hambourg‘ of the fam- ous Hambourg family who used to have the Hambourg Conservatory in Toronto, and who now is better known for the House 0! Hambourg. Following this she studied with Pierre Souvarain of the Royal Conservatory. United faces its toughest test of the season so far when they host defending league champ- ions Maple on Saturday.

Conventicle For June 9 The new management plans to pave its main runway, now a grass strip and extend it to 4,000 feet. Area Presbyterian churches will be represented at the fifth annual covenanters‘ service June 9 at Camp Mhor in Beav- erton. Presbyterians from 10 prov- inces gather once a year at the service - a conventicle - on a site which in Gaelic means “big meadow”. More than 300 years ago, hounded by laws which re- stricted their freedom. Scots worshipped in secret amid hills and glens in the south of Scot- land, a bible in one hand and a gun in the other with sentries on the lookout for hostile red- coats. Richmond Hill Presbyterian Church minister Rev. J. N. Hepburn announced the con- venticle from the pulpit last Sunday and said several car- loads of parishioners are ex- pected to attend although the 9th is a Communion Sunday. In Maple. Rev. B. F. Andrew, rector at St. Andrew’s Presby- terian Church said he doubts if too many of his congregation will attend since the date co-i incides with the dedication Ofl the Maple Cemetery and in Thornhill, Rev. D. 1. Evans of Thornhill Presbyterian Church said he expects a dozen or more of his congregation will make the trip. It's an ill wind . . . etc. This is a saying that Jim Hallahan believes after his experience Saturday night at Pinecrest Speedway. Ground Hogs Are Smarter Today The veteran stock car driver won his first feature race of the season with the inadvertent help of Harold Fagan of Willowdale. Fagan. driving car 54. spun on the No. 1 turn on the third lap of the featured 20 and came to rest in the centre of the track. The car sat there, mi- nus Fagan, for the rest of the race, forcing each ap- proaching driver to take the inside or outside to pass. The motor car ushered in a] new technique for hunting‘ which actually appears much less effective. Instead of stalk- ing on foot, the usual practice is to drive the side roads and take pot shots from the road side. “A lot of the old hogs have moved “over the ridge" I to safety, says Mr. Ellis. Many _ that dwell within 100 yards of‘ the road allowance, are also a1 .little smarter than their an- . cestors and have learned to‘ curb their curiosity by not sticking their necks out of the ‘ burrows for a second look when .Tthey hear a car stop. a If you plan a little ground -§hog hunting. be sure to get the :farmer's permission first and I then try the "back forty" acres. There'll be more targets there. The sport of ground hog hunting appears to be decreas- ing in popularity, probably much to the satisfaction of the ground hog itself. This burrowing rodent, which is quite content to live out its natural life in a one acre area, also seems to have smartened up a bit, according to J. S. “Sandy” Ellis of the Fish and Wildlife staff at Maple. The scarcity of foxes and wolves, allows him more time to con- centrate on the large hawks and owls on the look out for young ones. Nowadays the hunter sel- dom penetrates his grounds in: search of targets. as in the past. In the “thirties” the‘ ground hog was harassed, very; heavily, by predators and thel crack shot hunter with a rifle. Ground hog hunting was quite a sport and all day hunts were arranged. The 24th of May holiday was considered to be the big shoot for these rodents and tallies of ,up to 30 or 40 animals a day, were reported on walks of several miles on a \nice spring afternoon. A congregation of about 3,000 is expected, to sing the old Scottish hymns, to hear a great massed choir sing and the skirl of the bagpipes. ' The _service begins at 4 pm Catching Them The Hard Way While fishing in a two acre trout pond in the Lake Simcoe district, last week end, a young fisherman hooked a 10 inch brook trout which he played to‘ the shoreline. As he made the last heave, to land it, the fish gave a flip and dived to the bottom. On retrieving his line the angler discovered that the hook, attached to the spinning line, had become untied. Thus the escaped trout was free with a hook in its mouth. baited by a fat worm and six inches of the gut leader with a small loop in the end, protruding. Richmond Hill Minor Ball Results After tieing a new gut hook on the line and baiting it, the boy made a long cast into the pond and received a sharp tug as he reeled it in. Much to his surprise, he landed his original catch, with the new hook neatly snagged through the small eye- let in the last tackle. Several witnesses, present at the time, vouch for the story. Hallahan. who led from the fourth lap on. was closely pursued by Jarry Watson of Cooksville. Every time they came to the stalled car. the Clarkson driver chose the inside passage and Watson, almost beside him. was forced to go around the out- side. With what is probably a faster car. Watson lost valuable ground each time and was five feet back at the finish. Frank Blaker of Lakeview came up to take third place; Nick Rampling was fourth and Bill Watson of New Toronto (no relation to Jerry) was fifth.
