It went not with a flourish nor a fanfare but with torpid groans and greetings from those of us who didn’t heed the admonition and ate too fast and ate too much. While it lasted it was brief, hectic and expensive. We usually dread it's coming and deplore it’s going. A Christmas like many another may the Lord be thanked! 7 . I , , Congratulations and best wishes for success early in the New Year are due Miss Beverly Wilson of the Richmond Hill Figure Skating Club. Beverly recently competed in the Canadian Subsectional Championships at the Toronto Cricket Skating and Curling Club. This was her first time out in competitive skating and the young miss placed fourth in the novice class. Her placing automatically puts her into the Central Ontario Championships to be held at Peterborough on January 3 and 4. Miss Wilson has put hours of time into polish- ing her routine and is gaining strength and poise everytime out. A host of .well wishers are pulling for the Richmond Hill lass to come up with a big performance at Peterborough. If hard work and determination can count for anything she has a better than good chance of placing. / ' LOTS OF SNOW FOR SKIING With all this snow around new sleighs and skis should get a real workout during the holiday per- iod. The sleigh set are pretty much on their own â€" nobody has yet organized a sleigh and belly flopper club â€"but ski enthusiasts can get a real deal from the Toronto Ski Club. During the winter months Summit Golf Course is covered with snow and skiiers in about equal proportions. There are hills for beginners and tougher runs for the more expert. Ski tows are in operation and instruction is available. No matter where you live in this area it isn’t too far to the Summit and the Toronto Ski Club. A nice package for the pride and joy of YOUR .iouse -- to go along with those new skis â€" would be a junior membership in the club. It costs a mere $3.00 and gives them all the privileges of the club plus a nice shiny button to put on that new ski jacket. Sort of gives them that gay European look so necessary to skiing. Or so it seems. But, on the other hand, after sober consid- eration there’s a very strong possiblity that we are someone elses Ed and Myrtle right now. Our card list is in such a shambles that there's a good chance we’re playing the game right now. Unwit- tingly, naturally! CONGRATULATIONS BEVERLY WILSON uvau luv u nnnnnnnnn Postmen have groaned and sweated under an avalanche of gaily coloured cards all bearing the traditional greetings. Ask one of them if they’re not happy the season is over! Just like every other year cards came to the house which provided a certain amount of confusion and a great deal of head scratching. You know the kind â€" usually signed Ed and Myrtle which invite you to drop in and see them when you’re in their bailiwick. Only one problem â€"-â€" who in this wide, wide world are Ed and Myrtle. The card is tasteful and whoever wrote it writes in a neat clear hand. They seem to be the kind of people you'd like to visit -â€" if you had any idea who, what! why and where! , W J ‘Il’-.._L‘_ Some fine old year real soon we’re going to get even with Ed and Myrtle. We’re going to get together a batch of cards â€" pick names from the telephone directory at random and dispatch them with warm messages. The kind that say “had a grand time last summer, hope to do it again real soon!” Boy! That ought to upset someones Christ- mas completely} . -. . -‘ All through the holiday season Ed and Myrtle are very much on your mind. Could they be the couple?? â€" no, they aren’t that couple at all â€" his name was George and hers was Ethel. And so it goes all through the week until finally you quit in despair â€" you aren’t even going to be sure just who these obviously charming people are more’s the pity. Wonder if this could be the guy who sold you that last insurance policy?? ,L, If you want the maximum amount of ski en- joyment for your offspring then there’s nothing better in this area. To register them you merely have to get them to Summit, register and pay your money â€" it’s that easy. And while you’re there you might get bitten with the bug youself -â€" if there's any danger of this then send junior with your next door neighbour -â€" let him get bitten. Young junior’s language becomes quite pro- fessional after a few trips to the slopes and he (or she) talks calmly and knowingly of Christies, paralled skiing and wedeln. Then you’re forced into buying a book just to keep in communication. Or, once again, taking up the sport yourself. If you do join the gay, mad throngs â€" rotsa ruck ! l â€" The Ontario Hospital Plan is a real good go!

Last Friday the C.F.G.M. Kids were slated to play a league game with Beeton. Bee- ton had proved woefully inept in previous meetings and have been withdrawn from the league. As a filler Roy Brooks put his young charges into an exhibition game with a very powerful Wexford team. Early in the first period Dennis “The Menace" Acomb combined with Bob Gilpin to score the open- ing goal of the piece. It was the last time the Kids were to lead as Wexford led 3-1 at the end of the first period and blasted the C.F.G.M. hopefuls by a 9-1 count at the final bell.

Both games were against very strong clubs and on both occasions the T&C squad dropped one goal decis- ions. In a fast clean game against Barrie Jack Dubkowski fired two goals and was assisted on‘ both counters by Dave Day. On Friday Orillia, last year’s O. M. H.A. champs played a return game at Richmond Hill and squeezed out a 3-2 win against the local squad. George Sheph- erd and Ken Crook scored for the T&C squad with Dave Day being credited with one assist. Bob Ritchie was brilliant "'in the net for Town and Country in both games but especially against Orillia. His timely saves kept T&C in contention throughout the game and he gives pro- mise of better things to come.

Last Friday night the Clean- ers played to a 2-2 tie with Newmarket. Despite having the best of the play the Hill team was unable to finish off plays around the Newmarket goal. Dave Broderick and Harvey Gordon scored the Cleaner goals with Wayne Harrington assisting on] both scoring plays. The Hornets played a league game with Newmarket in New- market on Friday and squeezed out a 2-1 win. Gerald Methe and Paul Brown were the goal getters with Bob Wilkinson as- sisting on both counters.

Midgets Score 2-0 Win Overr Newmarket Christmas came a little early this year for the Richmond Hill midgets and they're happy about it. It came wrapped in a 2-0 win over the Newmarket Optimist hockey club. Leading the scoring, way for the locals were Bruce Shilton and Doug Thompson. Assists went to Jim Zubek and Doug Acomb. Reports have it that the loc- als exerted great effort in this one and covered their checks like the proverbial blanket. One of the top defensive stars in this category was the same Mr. Acomb who managed to pick up an assist too. Most improved player on the ice for the locals was A1 Wind- rim and along with Doug Thompson and Gord Sale play- ed a steady game on defense to give goalie Bobby Saffruk his second shut-out of the season.

BUY Did you ever stop to think of what it is that makes people buy one product rather than another? Or why one business prospers and another fails? According to the psychology experts, it's the public’s mental "image" -- or mental picture .â€" of a product or business that ac- counts for In success or fail- ure. Sometimes 5' ESPLEN a good image of a business or product can be built up by clever advertising propaganda to bring overnight success. Often this is the case with} new product, introduced to the mmket with an expensive ad- vs..ising splash. But the image never lasts unless the product delivers the satisfaction it pro. mises â€" unless the picture of promised satisfaction is REAL. This is true of all advertising that doesn’t represent the facts. Its cost represents wasted money. Our basic attitude in running a car dealership is to create the kind of establishment that we would want to do business with IF WE WERE THE CUSg TOMERS. Customers want hon- est treatment, truthful guaran- tees, good service and fair value in everything. Give them that and you’ll keep them. We hope, in talking honestly to you about the car business in this column. that we can convey to you a true picture of our business. Should you decide to patronize us, we don't intend to waste our advertising dol- lars by not following through with the satisfaction we pro- mise. SKYLINE PONTIAC-BUICK LTD.
