EVERY THURSDAY 8.30 pm. Toronto Plating vs. Dynes Jewellers TOWN PARK Under the Lights Have been perusing the brief as presented to town council committee of the whole recently by the various Richmond Hill softball organizations. The entire softball situation at the present time would seem to be, well, awful. Then there was the game. The ball was apt to zing‘ off in any direction on touching that rock- like rib-like diamond. For instance that ball hit to Mickey Hancock in centre field resembled a bullet ricochetted as it changed course on hitting the ground and slashed merrily away from him. 117‘" A“ “J” And the most awful of it is the current shape, or mis-shape, of the new ball diamond at the town park. Think of any adjective to describe its current condition and it woul n’t apply. No one has ever come up with an adjective yet that would adequately describe its condition Thursday night of last week when Dynes Jewellers played Oshawa Tony’s. A horror of ruis, pits and prunes, tractor treads, all carved into the concrete-like floor of the diamond. it certainly was in no way, shape or form close to being suitable for any hall team to play on. :1" , in d__ It looked it in the game, too. When the game got underway, of course. It took about 30 minutes while the baselines were re-measured and, presum‘ ably, placed at their proper distance. Why? This should have been done long before gamefltime. éxuuuu uuu UIMMAAV .v---» But in case I’m-Beingvtoo hérsh. Will say, will agree that the diamond is a new one. There prob- ably is a soil problem, a dozen other problems includâ€" And it would seem a town park is just one more way of also showing off the face of a municipality to the world if the world should happen to stumble by. Surely and hopefully the present condition of the diamond can be remedied a little. Just to be in bad shape would put it in a better shape than it has been all year. ing drainage. FOR HEAVEN’S SAKE But for heaven’s sake. It is a town park, it is a ball diamond where, presumably, interested spec- tators are invited to come and watch games under at least passable conditions. IT DOES TAKE TIME I understand that additional work will be or is going on to better the park. It all takes time and some people tend to be impatient or maybe a little bit too intolerant. But, like it or not, the situation exists right now. And, man, it’s hard on the eyes. ____ _ __O,_, But to continue walking through the pages of the softball brief: More complaints about the conditions of other diamonds in The Hill particularly at Crosby and Bradstock Park. f “We wish to point out,” the brief states, “that the main diamond at Crosby Park has been in oper- ation for three years. From its present condition it is obvious that the procedure being used to main- tain this diamond up to a reasonable playing stand- ard is totally inadequate. Similarly, the diamonds at Bradstock Park are in even worse condition.” Why is this so? And if so why not do someâ€" thing about it. Correct the situation. The old adage . . . if you’re going to do anything at least do it right. Or forget about it. NO WASHROOMS And there are dozens of other complaints about no parking facilities at Crosby and Bradstock, a lack of washroom facilities at Crosby Park “even though there are about 50 people utilizing the park each night.” It yvould only seem common sense that any and all municipal parks should have proper washroom facilities. Too costly, too this, too that?__ _ Well, I don’t know. You don’t build a house and leave off the roof. It would seem that public parks and washroom facilities would go hand in hand. Strictly a necessity. But again. We’ll undoubtedly get them in due time. But a little spur doesn’t hurt when used in the proper place. Some more complaints about the new diamond. The brief recommends that the surface be in- vestigated and the present earth replaced by a more adequate base more conducive to quick dry- ing. A composition of sharp sand clay is suggested. And that the diamond at the town park be elevated eight inches and properly sloped to allow proper run-off on all sides. Good heavens! Why wasn’t this done in the first place? Also that the screen on the upper part of the backstop be repaired. Why in heck wasn’t it fixed even before the complaints? Something’s broke, you repair it. or it gets worse. NEED LIGHTING That lights be installed in the park areas to provide greater safety. Definitely a necessity. The town park lighting in the arena area at the present time is almost nonâ€"existent. It's easy to envision someone getting knocked down bv a car while leaving a ball game. But we understand all is being done. But one can't emphasize too much the nec- essity to do it as soon as possible. To conclude, perhaps, on a more civilized note. The ball organizations have made their appeal, a That Ball Diamond (Continued on Page 10) @he liberal z fpart By Fred Simpson Spot: The expansion will provide extra lounge facilities, a dining room, increased kitchen and bar facilities.

Elgin Barrow who is a mem- ber of the building committee along with Marty Cormack re- ports the work will be done by members of the club who are in the contracting business. Included in the project be improvement to the ice addition of a dehumidifier “We've had some difficulty1 with the condition of the ice‘ the past two years," said Mini Barrow, “and we‘re going to do< our best to overcome it." ‘ Mr: Barrow said an off‘ici‘ali sod turning ceremony will be ' held August 1 with actual dig- ging to get underway soon after. g | The addition is slated to be completed by Christmas.
