Something For Everyone At Springwater Park One of several Provincial Parks summer Visitors will en- joy visiting this summer. is Springwater Park just west of Barrie near Midhurst on High- way 26. 10 THE LIBERAL. Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thursday. June 27. 1963 Started many years ago in connection with the tree nur- sery at Midhurst, the park got its name from the many springs in the area and in 1958 was of- ficially established as a prov- incial park. One of the funniest sights we’ve seen in many a year was Eddie Shack being run out of Richmond Hill by a howling mob of youngsters. They didn’t want to scalp him â€"they only wanted his autograph! Mr. Shack was anxious to return home after the N.H.L. All-Star - Dynes Jeweller softball soiree last Wednesday night. Lying in wait outside the arena for their popular red-headed idol were several hundred Shack-Happy youngsters. As he opened the arena door he was forced to step carefully to avoid squashing one or two of them underfoot. Then he got a clear opening and was off and sprinting for his car. And that’s when it really got funny. Have you ever seen a man wearing a raspberry shirt, blue bermuda shorts and black socks - more than a little splay-legged - running away from a mob of howling- kids ? They streamed out behind him like the tail on a kite but the speedy Mr. Shack won the event in a breeze, got into his car and made goodfihis escape. A Wonder if he’s got any idea of just how popular he is with the kids of Richmond Hil-l! in age from 11 to 13! Thirty-five innings is just one inning short of four full nine- inning games and on a hot, cool. dry or wet day is just too darn much for kids of this age! As far as the Woodstock people go we have no iluarrel with them or with their tournament. The system suits them and that’s fine but . . . the Rich- mond Hill Minor Ball Association is set up to see that kids have fun playing ballâ€"at this particular tournament all the fun was goneâ€" it was just plain drudgery under _a blazing hot sun ! --_____ . ,. . do and do very Well. On June 15, a peewee softball team from the R.H.M.B.A. was taken to a softball tournament at Woodstock. Eighteen teams were entered in the tourney with action starting at 9 a.m. and carrying on until a winner was decided. That’s the rub - there was just too much softball ! To declare a winner it was necessary for the winners to play five games, each game consisting of seven innings. Add it up how you will, it still comes to 35 innings of ball in one day. And this for kids ranging u. We think that the R.H.M.B.A. is capable of running a tournament or program that can stress the fun to be had in the game. And take into con- sideration the tender years and budding capabilities of the players. The charge has often been made that children’s sporting activities are getting over- organized. After seeing this Woodstock tournament we couldn’t agree more with the charge. R.H.M.B.A. executive, managers and coaches still treat the game as a fun affair. Here’s hoping that they never change the policy and a kid can be allowed to make the occasional error and still enjoy the game for all it‘s worth. Sure it’s a tough com- petitive world but an 11-year-old is entitled to some concessions. Isn’t he ? ? ‘.’ Dry Cleaning Shirt Laundry Storage of Winter Garments Pick-up and Delivery Phone RU. 7-5666 ' During thr nast five years. many changes have Our Work Consists Of Sleelwork, Welding, Trailers, Horse Trailers, Hitches And Miscellaneous Iron Work, Portable Equlpment.

Mrs. Thomson said various special events will be held each week. The young leaders, who will wear town-crest T-shirts and blouses when on the job, are meeting at the first of July for a training program. Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservatioh Authority recently voted down by 14 to 13 a motion which would have permitted limited hunting on certain authority-owned lands. Another major piece of leg- islation approved by the auth- ority at the meeting was the farm plan assistance program designed to assist in encour- aging better soil and water conservation practices on farms throughout ’the 1,000 sq. mi. region. The program would pay a grant towards implemen- tation of farm plans of one- half the cost up to a maximum of $100 to each land-owner. Projects eligible for assistance would include removal of cross- fences, burial or removal of stone piles and levelling of gullies. The authority also approved a scheme for the acquisition and development of a new for- est and wildlife conservation area at Glen Major, similar to the one already in use at Pal- grave. The meeting was attend- ed by 27 members of the 55-member authority. The motion had called {or some 1800 acres of lands to be set aside for hunting in the townships of Adjala, Caledon, Albion and Uxbridge. Dynes Jewellers came up with a very convincing win over Franklin‘s Men’s Wear in a Metro Major Fastball League fixture at Kinsman Park on Tuesday of last week. This park looated in the Yonge St.- Finch Ave. area was jammed to capacity with the expectao tion of seeing a fast, exciting game. Despite the 9-4 Jewel- ler's win the game was a rouser all the way. their veteran ace Norm Bagnell on the mound. Jewel- ler batsmen showed no regard for past reputations and pro- ceeded to belt Bagnell's slants for four back to back singles and three runs in the first inning. Ken Coultes. Ray Judd. Neb Gayman and Si] Steffan all connected for singles. Ron Cox took over the pitch- ing duties for Franklin's and held the Jewellers from furth- er scoring until the fifth inning. Franklin‘s scored again in the third inning as Charlie Burns singled. stole second and moved into score on a single by Pete Conacher. Dynes enjoyed a 3-2 lead at the end of the third inning. Members Sought For Track Club To spectators it seemed as if the game was going to develop into a rout in the early innings. But the game was far from over at this point. Freddy Thomas. ace centre field pat- roller for Franklins‘ poled a deep home run shot into right field and the Franklin squad was very much back into the ball game. In the bottom of the fifth inning Burns drew a walk, the first given up by Judd this year and came in to score on a long home run ball by Pete Conacher.

Bill Robson, playing right field for the Jewellers, played the ball perfectly and made a‘ great catch well outside the lights in among the spectators.

Trout are still being taken in most areas alâ€" though not in any large quanti- ties. Even in the far northern reaches of the province, the fish just don’t seem overly hungry, as the weather gener- ally remains unsettled. Fishermen who got out two weekends ago reported reason- able success angling for the wily pickerel with some fair- sized fish ending up in some- one's fry pan. Anglers at Bobcaygeon hadn’t much to show but a trip for their efforts.

Fishing in Canal Lake ls reportedly fair to good. The Severn River was mighty poor for pickerel as were most all of the favourite fishing spots in southern Onta- rlo.
