I’m sure he’ll be there for a long time starting this year. Bill Mabbett: May the ice remain firm in the winter of ’67 and may he some day soon be the major domo of a brand new ice house â€" in Richmond Hill, of course. Of course? Andy Brown: May his ice stay firm too (he‘s the ice~maker at the local curling club) and the weather not be too unsettled in order not to unsettle the ice. Ron McAndiews: May he handle the reins of his Mic Mac gi1ls team this summe1 and \\ 111 all the championships available to him. He’s one veison who believes the gi1ls haxe a light unde1 the spo1t- ing sun. Tom Hughes: May he win it all (he well deserves it) in ’67 in senior “A” fastball action if he decides to defy the fates and go another time. Jack Buxton: May he and the Richmond Hill Football Indians snap back to the top of the heap and may Jack’s fondest wishes for big crowds and an eventual junior football team all come true â€" if not in ’67 â€" then some other year pretty soon.

Just have to wait and see. But I suppose you’re in your own kind of leaky boat, have your fingers crossed, and are plunging anew into the fray. So I’ll just say lots of luck to you and you and some other people and organizations I’ll mention below. People like: Russell “Casey” Cripps. May he at least win one decision from an umpire in ’67. be heaved out of at least three games to keep up the tradition, and lead the Dynes Jewellers triumphantly to an All- Ontario Intermediate "A” title. Red Wilson of the Dvnes Club: May He strive mightily to increase his .173 batting average to the .200 mark and astound all those doubters who say .200 mark and astound all those doubters who say he has been hitting over his head. And may he keep his pigeons flying (Red exhibits pigeons) over the heads of the opposition until . . .
