Do you know what a grumble or a groan is‘.’ A grumble or groan is a sound that issues from the lips of a human being (usually) every time bread or . milk, liquor or cigarettes or what have you. go up ‘ one, two. three, 48 or more cents every too often. It can be a loud grumble or groan, a middle- type kind, or even a fainter than faint type. But it's a grumble or groan in any case. Give up? Such was the case in Richmond Hill just prior 3 to the start of the 1967-68 minor hockey season when registration fees climbed to 89 a year from 85. A few audible grumbles or groans were heard which is the human wont. Just how serious or 110w loud the sounds were depended on the individual. But the point of the above is simply that you’re lucky you don't live elsewhere in this particular instance. live. mind you) where it can cost you a fair bit more to make your youngster or youngsters availâ€" able for OMHA-style hockey. At least this is the opinion of one Thornhill housewife and mother who shall remain anonymous. Anonymous because she wants to be and also be- cause she’s not really complaining. is happy to pay out the money for her child, but who also wonders if children really appreciate the money and time Ma and Pa expend for them. She also wonders how those parents with six or seven offspring can manâ€" age to foot the bill for hockey or if, in a number of cases. they don’t bother to try. it I J I . THE LADY SAYS For example, the lady points out that the ab- sence of an arena in the immediate area necessitates a goodly amount of regular travel to-and-fro to the independently owned Doublerink Arenas. This costs money and time, of course. and specifically $10 a month to pay for iceâ€"time at Doublerink plus $3 annually for insurance plus the $100 or so for all the equipment junior requires although hand-me-downs can save on this expense on given years. Of course. another item is the cost of accomp~ x 91 ~< x j anying junior to the game. the admission you have to pay each trip. This too can add up for Thornhill and Richmond Hill spectators alike. And as can be clearly observed. it costs more to put a youngster in a hockey outfit in Thornhill than Richmond Hill. So the grumbles and groans should be louder. much louder in Thornhill. But this Thornhill mother was quick to stress she wasn’t really grumbling or groaning and was happy to do it for her son. I got the impression she was just pointing out that money is money and not everyone is as fortunate (as this family) in being able to keep up with the many and varied money-taking forms of recreation today. Having to travel. travel, travel. can also be a trial especially when the breadwinner has to keep that rather important job of his own up. Agreed. agreed. It must be trying but it is a way of life today and one must go along with it. You might just as well go along cheerfully. But you should be appreciated and, in this column, you are being appreciated. I then conversed with a Richmond Hill minor hockey coach who is also happy with his lot in life. It's great fun. he stated. heloin0r the kids. YOU DO GET CRITICIZED But then a slight cloud of wrv cynicism (good humored cynicism) flaked his eyes when this ob- server congratulated him for the hours he sacrifices without “getting anvthing (money) for it." "You get something.” he pointed out. “Lots of criticism.” But then the smile returned and he was off to continue his happy serfdom to the town children. Talked to a couple of Richmond Hill fathers who pointed out that sure it took money but it was all very worthwhile. “It's very little money for the enjoyment you get out of seeing your children having fun, partici- pating in it with them. Some people spent all their money on booze. or something else. others get their kicks in spending on their families." Of course (ahem) some do both. So there you have it. What do you ha\e‘.’ Just an appreciation to all the Ma's and Pa's from here. Your sacrifices are duly noted. duly appreciated. But you'd better be going now. Junior is getting impatient. That big game is 111) in Erad- ford today and if you don't get going you‘ll be late. x x a: :4 ; JL'ST KNOW IT Well. the new arena is now unofficially open. .I suppose the official opening will come at a later date. And wouldn't you know it. The arena opened a night after I announced it would which didn't surprise me a bit. It seems to always happen that way. I iust don‘t know. And perhaps it was a good thing after all. the Richmond Hill Rams. anyway. As you probably know by now the Rams took their lumps via a 12-1 lacing at the hands of George- town. And what can you say after you trot out that tired old phrase. "I'm sorry."
