The attempts all came to naught because the groups were minority affairs and were not able to get backing from older, more established groups. The Red Cross group is in the fortunate position of having a great deal of public confidence and respect. Any endeavour that this group takes on is not taken on lightly. They should be able to attract backing both from organizations and individuals and get a solid campaign going. Almost everyone you talk to agrees that the need is great and a pool is an absolute necessity. What‘s needed is some responsible group to head up the campaign and the Canadian Red Cross have all the qualifications to beithat very group. Help support the local branch of the Red Cross and help the cause of water safety in this immediate area. By the by - there’s a certain amount of pleas- ure to be had at a swimming pool and there’s noth- ing sinful about that either ! With the secondary school students added in the figure should be something over 7,000 students who would be eligible to benefit from the results of a comprehensive swimming program. Keep your eyes and ears open for the opening shots in the pool campaign. It may not come like yesterday afternoon but when it does come it will be more than welcome. Richmond Hill Minor Ball Association has done it again and successfully pulled off the sixth Sports Day parade. It was a tremendous effort by a few key people in the organization that made it go plus the help of dozens of willing workers to handle the actual physical work. They all deserve a large round of applause for a job very well done. There’s another job that we think they could (Continued On Page 10) We hear that the local branch of the Canadian Red Cross is getting behind a. movement to build a swimming pool in Richmond Hi“. There isn’t any doubt in the world that the Red Cross is the fore- most promoter of water safety programmes. When the Red Cross says that a pool to teach swimming and water safety is a necessity then you’d better believe it. Leaving out the populations of Richmond Hill High School and Bayview Secondary School, there are 4,600 children attending public and separate schools in Richmond Hill. More than 1,000 children tried to register for the July and August Red Cross swim classes last Saturday. “We deeply regret having to turn away so many.

ENJOY YOUR HOLIDAY BE WATER WISE! Comfort Tennis School Proves Popular Dynes Jewellers lost a 2-1 decision to Markham Aces last Thursday night after 11 full innings of softball. Ray Judd struck out 22 Markham batters, was tagged for only five hits but errors cost him what should have been a victory. R. Judd Strikes Out 22; Errors Cost Team Game Dynes scored their lone run in the third inning \‘ia the error route. Bill Robson was safe on an error charged toMarkham shortstop Jack Robinson and was brought in to score on a single by centre fielder “Skip” DeGeer. The one run lead stood up until the seventh inn- ing. Markham first baseman Owun‘i McKrickard lifted what lookeN like a routine fly ball to rightl field in the seventh inning. Thei right fielder Bill Robson moved! into the ball only to have it bounce crazin out of the glove with McKrickard going to third on the play. He scored the ty- ing run on a single off the bat off left fielder Rick Conlin, The Jewellers threatened in the ninth with Moe Williamsan advancing to third base as the result of a single plus two in- field outs. He was stranded on third as Ken Coultes flied out to centre field and the threat died. The game shaped up like a pitchers’ duel from the start with hefty Ellis, vet- eran Markham pitching ace, opposing Judd. Ellis struck out four batters, walked three and gave up six hits in winning the eleven inn- ing contest. tors and at 7.00 pm. the parade left Richmond Heights Centre to make it’s way to the town park.

Five cars went tum‘ bling in as many accidents in four different races. When the fans caught their breath, it was seen that both Jerry Watson and Jo Cresswell had won their second feature races, first drivers to do so this season. Watson has a re- cord of six victories in 10 starts and stands one point behind Jim Hallahan, 51-50, in spite of having missed three of the six Saturdays of racing. v The strong “Liberal” squad 9 proved to be too much ball team for the Auto Body kids as the 11-2 score would indicate.

H6 Tom Wragg and Bob Delicato‘ rolled over in the night’s open- ing race, the first qualifying heat. Wragg piled up on the third lap, but was able to go on and place in three later races. The other four tumblers were out for the evening. Delicato’s bump, which left his car upside down, ended the race at six laps. The two ladies’ spills had the added effect of taking out a couple of male drivers whose cars they had borrowed.

One of the catchers involved in the game was just about knee- high to a duck and com- pletely stole the show. He also proved to be a real competitor and played a good brand of ball. A steadily increasing roar of excitement heralded the arrival of the parade at the park and spectators stood in the seats to witness the entrance of the parade. It has often been said that Richmond Hill is a town of a “Million Roses.” It’s no doubt true but we have anoth- er equally important asset - children. They came into the park in a steady stream. Some rode in on floats, others marched as members of bands or majorette groups while some marched in soft- ball team groups. No matter how they came they key- noted the theme of the whole evening.

Prize winning float this year was an entry by Gormley Sand and Gravel. It consisted of three .units - a .huge front-end loader, a motor cycle towing a child’s wagon and an ancient Ford. A som- brely garbed and heard- ed motor cyclist led the group. Behind his mot- or cycle he towed a coaster wagon announc- ing that this was Gorm- ley Sand and Gravel special delivery depart- ment. Next came the giant front end loader with a clown hand com- fortably esconced in the huge bucket while the vintage Ford brought up the rear. It was an eye catching and imag- inative float and deserv- ing of the award for the top entry in the parade. Following the official part of the program the NHL. All-Stars were due to make their appearance. A slight accident to one of the player’s cars en route to the PONTIAC-BUICKLTD. park delayed their arrival somewhat but they were no less welcome for the slight delay. As each hockey player was introduced he was given a loud cheer but the lion's share of the roaring welcome was reserved for Eddie Shack. The youth of the town left no doubt in any- ones mind as to just who their favourite Leaf really is! The actual softball game itself was something of an anti-climax. For the first three innings both teams played serious softball but the Jewellers leaped quickly into a 6-0 lead after two innings of play. Ray Judd. Dynes pitching ace, had N.H.L. batters virtually handcuffed and after the third inning the All-Stars elected to turn the game into a comedy routine. Led by the irrepressible Eddie Shack they ran bases back- wards, batted in any order that suited their fancy and turned the game into a shambles.

All proceeds from the event will go to support minor softball in Richmond Hill. This was one of the most successful parades ever held and the monies raised will help greatly with the minor ball program. President James Mans- bridge, executive members of the Richmond Hill Minor Ball Association, behind the scenes workers, in fact everyone connected with the parade in any way, shape or form - deserve the highest commendation for their efforts. Eventual win- ners are the children and they’re worth all the noise and effort. Next year this highly enterprising R.H.M.- B.A. group will stage anoth- er parade.
