Can Richmond Hill ratepayers, already highly taxed, take on the re- sponsibility of added debentures for a pool? This matter is being thoroughly studied by a committee appointed re- cently by Richmond Hill Council. The committee will, after studying every phase of the problem, bring in a report and possibly recommendations to coun- cil, which will then have to make its decision. A campaign for $1,000,000 to build a new hockey arena and civic auditor- ium started on May 24 is nearing a. successful conclusion. Target day is August 21. The campaign has dazzled observers everywhere and proved the average person will get behind a worthwhile cause and put it over-the- top if approached in the right way. It has been the average citizens who have made Oshawa’s campaign, under the slogan “Let’s Build It Our- selves - For Ourselves”, such an ideal came involved in the auditorium com- mittee in 1962. This committee had already been in operation four years, with little progress being made. Teamed with Bill Kurelo, foreman of a local plant. and Dick McLaughlin, former president of the Canadian Figure Skating association, Kelly went into action. Failing to interest industrial or Wealthy citizens in the idea, the com- mittee decided to put the challenge up to the working man. Money came from mixers. a feeder plant gang and E. H. Walker, president of General Motors, all contributed to the campaign. Gen- eral Motors employees pledged $475,000 on a 40c a week for three years basis. A sweeper in the plant gave $700. Every one of the 19 commit- tee members donated time as well as money, with a total of $15,000. .The committee was advised to go to 1ndustry and special names first, but proved that the little man will help “an 1U]. huc JUU ' nuu "y AIAMDU uqu him among our more than 18,000 popu- lation, - that pride could be turned to good account. Citizens of Richmond Hill and immediate area would exhibit their pride in their community by putting a campaign for a swimming pool over the top, just as they did the well-organized campaign for funds for York Central Hospital last fall. A swimming pool in Richmond Hill CAN be a reality - Let’s all help to make it one.

As far as we have been able to ascertain this will be the first time that 3 Richmond Hill team has participated in this popular “Ex” feat- ure. On August 19th they will be going against Oshawa Tony’s, a team rated by many as one of the best, if not the best, softball team in Ont- ario today. If it should so happen that you’re taking in the big show on August nineteenth take a look at the softball proceedings and you’ll think you’re right at home. ' Still on the subject of softball there’s one play- er on Dynes club who has been kind of sailing under false colours for most of the season. Bren Selvage plays second base for the Jewellers and looks so much at home that a lot of people assume he is a natural second socker. Not so at all. Bren is a pitcher and a good one in his own right. In former years he toiled on the mound for the now defunct Averell’s All-Stars and pitched and won games against the team henow plays for. â€"pâ€"___~ _ He is now a resident of Richmond Hill and nat- urally gravitated to the ball park and to the Jew- ellers. Dynes had already signed one of the best and most durable pitchers in the game today, Ray Judd. Selvage, being above all a softball player, was con~ verted into a second basemen. Judd being as strong as he is, Selvage has pitched only five innings of ball thils lyear. But he has played some very effective sec- on ase. When the story gets around that Dynes are a. one pitcher club don’t believe it. Bren is as good a back-up man and insurance policy in the form of a pitcher as any team would want. So far they haven’t had to use the insurance policy but when and if they do he’ll be ready. He’s that kind of ball player. PROVINCIAL CHAMPIONSHIP As most everyone knows by this time Jim Grain- ger, A] White, Russell Lynett and Ed Lane won the Ontario Lawn Bowling Championship. This pro- vincial win gives them an entry into the Canadian Lawn Bowling Championships to be held in Ham- ilton, starting on August 26th. . For the Ontario win each member of the rink will be presented with a red jacket bearing a pro- vincial championship crest. According to Mr. Grain- ger these jackets have psychological as Well as sart- orial impact. When a rink wearing red jackets steps up to the firing line in competition, they doff their jacket before their opponents in an ostentatious manner. This is a little psychological ploy calcul- ated to upset the other side more than some- what. Sort of a silent brag. Only one catch fellas. It won‘t work at Hamilton in the Canadians. They’ve all got jackets from other provinces that they can flaunt a bit too! However, We don’t believe you’re going to need too much out- side help. We all figure you’re good enough to do it alone and everyone is pulling for a Canadian title for the Richmond Hill Lawn Bowling Club! Give ’em (censored) heck! MAKING FAST TIME The speed at which the renovations are proceed- ing at Richmond Hill Arena is downright amazing. Time is of the essence with a target date of October 16th being aimed at. At the moment it looks like there’s an awful long way to go but somehow we feel it’ll get done. With the front facade all torn out and the bare timbers of the building hanging out, the arena resem- bles a tired, raddled old harridon. But it’s amazing what a. face lifting job can do and the old girl should look right pert come October. Wait and see. FOOTBALL DAYS ARE HERE Coach Del Madeley has his Indian football club suited up and starting to knock heads. It still seems like the middle of summer but football days are just around the corner so autumn can’t be too far away. If the Indians live up to their preseason prom- ise and play as well as they did last year they should be an odds on favourite to retain the champ- ionship won last year. There’s only one trouble with being a champ. You’re all alone on the top of the heap and everyone is shooting for your hide. Every club in the league is up for a game against the reign- ing monarchs! HIT TOURNAMENT TRAIL Richmond Hill Minor Ball Association softball- ers are getting around a bit this year. Early on it was decided to take part in some of the tournaments that go on all over Ontario at this time of the year. So far peewee age teams have taken part in the Wood- stock and North York tournaments while a squirt team went to the Preston tournament during the civic holiday. \ It’s not going to be an easy season for the In- dians and Del Madeley is just the guy to convince them of the bitter facts. One thing every football fan can count on is that it will be a rugged and inter- eéting football campaign with speed,'razzle dazzle and hard hitting featuring every play. Should be a fan’s delight! At the Preston tournament the local kids had a good day. They won the first game against Preston 12-5 and lost out to Galt 19-10 in the second game. Galt eventually turned out to be the overall tourn- ame 1: Winners. Coach Ray Brooks and his assistants.

That fact is recognized by every citizen from the mayor down - but how the town is going to get adequate pool facilities is the question which is the hold-up.

This matter is being thoroughly studied by a committee appointed re- cently by Richmond Hill Council.

' RON CRAINE That an enthusiastic fund-raising campaign for recreational facilities can be successful is being proven at present in Os-haw_a, the motor city. .. Ann an“ . ‘1 Ace Ray Judd Pitches Dynes To 8-0 Victory Brampton used three pitch- ers, Ron Atwell, Ron Mills and Paul Thompson. Atwell was ef- fective until the fifth inning when the first two Jeweller runs were scored. Bren Selvage dropped a looper into straight~ away centre. Flear, the Bramp- ton centre gardener attempted to shoe string the ball but merely succeeded in booting it with Selvage pulling up at sec- ond. A single by Ken Coultes moved Selvage to third and he scored easily on a passed ball. Coultes came home with the second run as a routine ground ball hit by "Skip" De Geer was hobbled at second base. Neb Gayman opened the Jew- eller half of the sixth with a single. He moved around on a single by Chico Fernandez and scored on a ball hit by Selvage that was juggled by Freeman the Brampton shortstop. Ray Judd pitched a. perfect game last Monday night in Brampton as Dynes Jewellers bombed Brampton 8-0 in the opening round of the O.A.S.A. playdown wars. Judd faced only 27 batters in nine full innings and struck out twenty. Four batters bounced out Judd to Hughes at first base while another grounded out third to first. One fly was lofted to left field and one to right field for routine outs. Brampton never got a man on the basepaths and Judd needed only 91 pitches to complete the route. The roof fell in on Brampton in the seventh inning. Bill Robson got to Perhaps the most famous name in the history of lawn bowling is that of Sir Francis Drake. As many of us will remember from our- school history lessons Sir. Francis was one of Eng- land’s greatest admirals. But, in spite of his duty to protect the shores of Eng- land against the might of Queen Isabella's armada, he refused to permit his game of lawn bowls to be interrupted as the much vaunted Spanish navy have into sight over the waters of Plymouth Hoe.

On Saturday night Robertshaw Fulton will visit Richmond Hill to play a rained out Metro Major League fixture. And many are the gent- lemen and ladies of Rich- mond Hill who have been members of the Richmond Hill Lawn Bowling Club over the years since it was first begun. When the club was first started no one seems to be quite sure, but a good bet seems to be around the year 1918. As Jim Grainger of Rich- mond Hill Lawn Bowling Club says with a belying smile. it’s not surprising because lawn bowling is primarily a gentleman’s game. picture of how to raise a large sum of money successfully.

Over the years the Rich- mond Hill Lawn Bowling Club has flourished and there’s little wonder. be- cause, as Mr. Grainger again says, ‘the club‘s greens are the best in the district’. Tournament - wise the Richmond Hill club has had its honors too. In 1959 Morley Hall and A1 White captured the Globe and Mail Trophy which at the time was the top tourney in the province. Later the Provincial High Singles Trophy was brought to the club by the fine bowling skill of the late Gar Yerex. This year a team composed WAGONS all directions, and from all classes of citizens in the community of 62,000. Pensioners, lawyers, Don Jackson, World figure skating champion, cement mixers, a feeder plant gang and E. H. Walker, president of General Motors, all contributed to the campaign. Gen- eral Motors employees pledged $475,000 on a 40c a week for three years basis. A sweeper in the plant gave $700.

Entry Permitsi gTo Simcoe Pa-rks‘ lUpZODOOADay While attendance figures are not official, the number of vehicle entry permits issued so far this season indicate a con- tinued increase in the number of visitors to provincial parks in the Lake Simcoe District as compared with last season. As of July 29 daily entry per- mits were up nearly 20,000 as compared with the same date in 1962. Seasonal vehicle per-l mits were up slightly more than 2000. Camping has also con- tinued at the same high level of popularity with registered campsite areas filled to capacity every weekend and in some parts during week days as well. Campsite permits are up ap- proximately 700 as compared to last season as of the end of July. Leaflets describing character- istic features of each park and facilities supplied are available and can be obtained by visitors planning trips, either at the local park office or by writing to the District Forester’s office at Maple.
