B THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thursday: July 11, 1963 There’s a new committee politic in the Town of Richmond Hill. Despite the fact that it hasn’t got the powers of a royal commission, to investigate some deep, dread secrets, it has been handed a politically hot potato - or football or as you Will. Mayor William Neal, Councillors Walter Scudds and Alex Campbell have been charged to come up with some concrete plans - eventually we hope, to turn into a concrete swimming pool. It was indicated to council that several hundred children of this area had to be refused admission to Red Cross swimming lessons held at the Thornhill pool. There just isn’t enough room to accommodate all those who want to take lessons. Facts were also brought out which indicated that women’s groups and Boy Scout organizations were travelling far afield to make use of swimming facilities elsewhere. The school population of some 6,000 students was also mentioned. All good, solid facts that have a bearing on the case. On July 2 the council chambers of the Town of Richmond Hill were packed by a delegation with but one aim. To get a swimming pool built by hook or by crook for citizens of the area. Spokeswoman for the group was Mrs. Lionel Hancey and she presented the brief to council in a manner which indicated that this was of vital concern to hundreds of Richmond Hill citizens. She couldn’t possibly have presented a better brief. Councillor Walter Scudds made it clear that he for one was definitely on the side of the pool delega- tion. It was his motion to council, presented before the delegation, that formed the present municiple committee. Mayor Neal is also convinced that the pool is a necessity. He feels however that it is a matter for a private citizens committee and not a municipal government responsibility. Councillor Campbell did not take any side until pointedly questioned from the floor. He then indicated that he was in favour of the idea of a pool but had some reservations as to the method of financing such a project Opinions on financing the job were a dime a dozen. Some felt that it should apply to the general tax rate while others thought the service clubs should go out, beat the bushes and raise the neces- sary cash. A group from the Richmond Hill Civitan Club offered the services of their organization in any capacity required - to head the drive for funds or to assist in any way required. There were dozens of ideas. Reeve Floyd Perkins threw out one idea as a feeler only to have it fielded neatly and tossed back in his lap. With the Canadian Centennial year coming up in 1967 the federal government is preparing to assist in projects of this kind, said Mr. Perkins A delegate said that that was a great idea - we could use their help to enlarge the pool we’d already have or add a second pool. Mr. Perkins’s proposal fell with a soggy thud. The meeting was highly interesting and very informative. Present council members know that a great many citizens mean business. Those who attended the meeting were pleased to find that a great many others felt as strongly of the need for a pool as they did themselves. Everyone learned a little_something. Ross Doan School senior boys recently won the Vaughan Township Trophy in this year’s softball tourney among township and Woodbridge Schools. The team won over Concord School, winner for the past six years.

SPORT SPOTS BY RON CRAINE Vaughan Baseball Champs 5:10 Kent Clothes won their third softball game in a row on Tues- day of last Week to give them a four-win-four-loss record on the season to date Their latest win was a 7-6 win over North York Juniors Trailing by a 6-4 count at the end of four innings, the Kent Kids had Gerry Case come on in relief for starting pitcher Dave Roberts. Case came in with the bases loaded and struck out the side to quench the fire. Tex Patfield belted out a home run in the fourth inning with two men to give Kents a 7-6 edge. There was no further scoring and Kents had their fourth win of the season. Last Saturday, coach Joe Cor- nack took the Kent Kids to a tournament in Oshawa. Handi- capped by the absence of Gerry Case, Larry Guio, Duane Pat- field and Denny Richardson, the Clothiers did not fare too well. Galt, another entry in the North York Major Softball League, went on to pick up the tournament marbles.

Somehow or other it hap- pens to someone every year. A real good sunburnâ€"a touch of sunstrokeâ€"or both. Even the odd caseâ€"but definitely serious â€"of burned eyeballs, and these things don’t happen to sun wor- shippersâ€"they happen to fish- ermen! Drifting lazily along in a boat is a great way to spend a summer afternoonâ€"there's no denying the fact. But while you're drifting along on a placid lake you’re just twice the tar- get for a bad burn or sunstroke. The reflection from the water just about doubles your expos- ure to Old Sol's biting rays. Keep a hat on your head at all times. Any old hat will do, but for sheer comfort an old straw takes a lot of beating. The back of the neck is a vital sunstroke target and an old piece of white cloth sewn to the hat and covering the nape of the neck will do wonders in warding off the evils of sun- stroke. A good pair of sun- glasses will eliminate the crows feet from the eyes and keep the eyeballs from an unnecessary scorching. Maybe it sounds like a deal of trouble, but it’s defi- nitely well worth doing! There‘s a rumour around that some ardent fishermen and campers are using chest rub as a fly repellent. It’s supposed to work wonders and is rela- tively inexpensive. Could be it's worth a try at that! Gord Brown of South Taylor Mills Dr. hooked two pickerel last weekend. One weighed in at 10 lbs. and the other at 7%. Where did he get them? The evasive reply is “out of the water". Pickerel fishermen are becoming as close-mouthed as the trout clan. The Cedar Rod and Gun Club Ray Brooks. convener of the squirt section of the R.H.M.B.A.. conceived the Idea of operating a tourna- ment for teams in his section of the league. This tourna- ment is to become an annual affair and the first section of this year's tourney was held on Saturday, July 6, at the Richmond Hill Town Park. With the base paths short~ ened to 40 feet the young- sters played ball like pro- fessionals. The shortened diamond speeded up the game. much to the enjoy- ment of the 200 spectators.

Mic Marcs Play Heads Up Ball Ron McAndrews, coach of the Mic Mac junior ladies soft- ball team, says that although his team is definitely outclass- ed in their league this year, the girls are getting a really good softball education. Whe- ther or not this will stand them in good stead next year remains to be seen. They dropped two games to‘ a powerful Agincourt team last‘ week. The first was in Agin-i court on Wednesday with Agin-i court winning 3-2. Heather‘ Castle had pitched no hit ball to the fifth inning for the Mic} Macs. .Two fly balls, blown by the wind dropped in for hits. These two hits plus two run- ners already on the tracks via the walk route accounted for Agincourt‘s 3 runs. In this game the Mic Macs played errorless ball and banged out seven hits. Last Friday night the same‘ two teams tangled in Richmond Hill and ended in a 15-8 win for the Agincourt squad. It was one of those nights when the Mic Macs did nothing right while Agincourt couldn’t do too much wrong. Crane and Steven Porter. John Stokes and Bruce Eede pitched in the losing Leaf cause. The Chiefs walked to a 17-6 triumph over the luck- less Red Wings. In all fair- ness to the Wings, the cards were stacked against them. Their coach was not present for the game while the regu- lar pitcher was also absent due to a family holiday. Chris Strothers pitched for the Chiefs while Brian Simp- son was on the mound for the Red Wings. Larry Mansbridge struck out 13 as the Bisons defeat- ed the Virginians 17-16 in a five-inning set-to. Mike Dempsey struck out eight in the losing Virginian cause.

At this Marlies won a 9-0 default victory over the Royals as the latter were unable to field nine players. In an exhibition game between the two teams, Robbie Clephan pitched good ball for the Royals.

Wat- son has a 10-for-18 record. A tangle among Bob Watson, Jerry’s brother, Bruce Watters and Hallahan, necessitated a restart after five laps of the feature. There were no in- juries. Diane Rosevear of Port Credit has led or held a share of the lead for six weeks. She finally won her first race Saturday. She led for all eight laps of the ladies’ feature, edging Lorrainei Hallahan and Katharine Lough- ry.
