However the canteen had made about $4,200. This added to the pre‘ vious year's surplus left more than $23,000 In the arena’s acâ€" count. ‘“I think we should charge the canteen rent,” said Mr. Sims. “They‘re getting free rent now. . . .

Mr. Passmore made his observations when asked to comment on some remarks of a Toronto school teacher. who claimed that track and field in Toronto secondary schools was "fantastically bad.“ Walter MacKay. formerly of Richmond Hill, was forced out of the race when trouble de- veloped with his car, local res- idents who attended the race report.

The latter followed presentation of the auditor’s report by L. H. Sims, a member of the arena assoc- iation, as well as its ‘auditor, who said that of the $23,917 surplus shown by the arena at the end of April, the canteen was “probably responsible for $19,000 or $20,000.” Mr. Sims said that with the HOW TO MAKE AN IMPRESSION Send your Clothes To Electric - TV - Appliances Sales, Repairs, Parts 884-3211 STOVES For Dry Cleaning Shirt Laundry Storage Pick-up and Delivery Phone NEW & USED THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thursday, June 10, 1965 1&‘R 3621 {DALE ROAD past I loan a member of East York Track Club's relay teary, loan and accrued interest, the arena still owed $29,000 on its new building, but on the whole the situation was healthy. “It shows good manag- ement,” said Mr. Sims. “It Is one of the best run or- ganizations around here." Mr. Sim's proposal to charge rent was left to the new direct- orate to decide. Discussion on the proposed rate changes came about as a result of a question from the floor after the general meet- ing. blamed it ing. “.5. “Some of them just don't know," he was quoted as saying. “And physical edu- cation teachers can't get any help from other mem- bers of the staff." In hs president’s address. Mr. Chassie alluded to the possi- bility of some changes, but said nothing definite had been de- cided on. However, following the question, he opened up the matter for discussion and said that, if there were to be any increases they would probably involve Saturday night skating and rates to outsiders. "It the rates go up, we would like the minor hoc- key association to be ad- vised by July, as it might affect registration.” said one member of the and- ience. Although discussion on the matter was brief, the majority seemed to be in favor of main- taining the present rates. Mr. Shepherd was also in agreement with officials of Toronto Secondary Schools Athletic Association. who suggested clinics be 'held to improve coaching standards. In other matters of finance, Harold Jones, chairman of the building and maintenance com- mittee, gave a rundown of ex- penditures for the year, which he said centred mostly around ‘ improvements. Mr. Chassie said that the proposal would be discussed further at the directors’ next meeting. He said there was also some spent on general cleaning and painting. and .that plans had ‘been made to increase the size lot the players‘ benches. Another proposed operation was the building of a big room upstairs in the centre of the building, Which would be used ‘for storage and other purposes. Among the money spent for improvements were $4,596 for a flooding machine, $830 for a public address system, $1,400 for hot water for the steam boiler, $400 for painting the beams. " He said, too, that he wanted it known that he wasn’t going to the parks‘board because he lthought it was a better job. Mr. Jones, who is resigning to go to the parks board, said he felt all the improvements had been necessary to the smooth running of the arena, and thanked Manager William Mabbett for “taking most of the problems on his shoulders." “Aftelf a while your ideas start to follow a pattern too much. Maybe it‘s about time to let someone new come on. I‘m very happy to have been on the board.“ said Mr. Jones. who has been a member for a total of eight years. use ousz on. .

LEN PUGH REAL ESTATE NORTH YORK LEAGUE BANTAMS , For the third time in two days East Gwilllmbury bowed to a superior Richmond Hill team. “I don't think Mr. Shep- herd is being very realistic," said Mr. Passmore. “It‘s hard to compare the situation here with the United States." He said that one loczfl athlete had gone to the US. and shown great improve- ment. which wasn‘t due to him suddenly taking vitaâ€" mins. but from being on‘a better track.

The substitute pit- cher handled the ball like a hot potato” his lack of control simply gave Pughs nothing more than ducking and swing- ing practice. Other mention- ables for Pughs are: Duane Reid, first base, Terry Hall, steady hitting, John Reagan, another Ray Judd and a homer on three errors. The final score was Pughs 11 - Gwillim- bury 4.
