N0 Ice-Fishing Ban Lake Simcoe mumuumuumuuu“mumIuumuunmmuumuuunmumuur Flirt With Cellar Spot Hill Rams Lose Three More Games VOL. 92, NO. 22 By FRED SIMPSON The Richmond Hill Junior “B” Hockey Rams continued to flounder last week dropping another three games to the opposition. Richmond Hill was drowned 6-4 by Dixie Tues- day night of last week, 3-1 by Etobicoke Thursday, and 6-4 by St. Michael's Friday night. Key loss was the Etobicoke game as The Rams have to beat Etobicoke â€"- one of the other weaker team in the league â€"- if they hope to even have the semblance of a winning season. Officials of the Depart- ment of Lands and Forests district office at Maple have denied rumors to the effect that Ice fishing will be banned in Lake Simcoe this winter. "The’cdnrern of the pub- lic and the rumors. no doubt started because of the pub- licity being given to pollu- tion and in particular the. use of various pesticides." Mr. Linklater said fish from Lake Simcoe and other lakes had been samp- led and "will continue to be tested for any ill effects resulting from pesticides being washed into the wa- ter. To date no fish from Lake Slmcoe have been found to be unfit for hum- an consumption. Conservation Officer Malcolm Linklater stated the Maple office has re- ceived "many enquiries from the public regarding the status of the. fishing on Lake Simone. this winter. “The department." he said. "feels it should clar- ify its position and also attempt to quash the erron- eous reparts that are cur- rently being circulath 10 the effect the lake will be closed to ice fishing." “If at any future date the level of contamination in fish is found to he at a dangerous level. the public will be informed according- ly." Mr. Linklatcr said. DON’T MISS our ON “THE BEST DEAL” LESLECHEV-0LDS TOMPKINS Factory Equipped Special ELEVEN YEARS IN -833-530|- SECON D SECTION 1910 DODGE CHARGER FREE PICK-UP CALI.

Assists went to John Wylie and Pete Gamoff. Then it was Burkett coming with two goals to give St. Mike's a 4-2 lead as the period ended. St. Mike's made It 5-2 at 9.17 of the second period as Gard- ner scored as the result of a wild scramble around the Rich- mond Hill net. Gardner had two whacks at the puck before it trickled between Brown's arm and body. Richmond Hill played on even terms with St. Mike's after the first tWo minutes of the opening period which saw the latter team move into a two-goal lead. Pagnutto scored at the 19 second mark as John Hirst pas- sed the puck to him from beâ€" hind the net and he put it past John Brown in the Hill net. St. Mike's made it 2-0 at 2.11 as McGuire scored off a three way passing play inside the Ram’s zone on a shot from the point. Richmond Hill tied the game at 10.30 on a power play as Rice set up Head in front of the net and he zipped it home.

NBC “I‘ve always liked sports, especially playing them and that’s something you don’t get a chance to do too much when you’re a small girl. The boys play but the girls LINDA PURVES don’t. So it was difficult for awhile but I persisted and I was soon playing softball and football with the boys. They accepted me once they knew I could hold my own.” Linda Purves is 16 years old. is blonde, blue-eyed, pretty. intelligent, bu t there's something she ain't. She ain’t a boy. “I hate being a gir,” Linda was saying the other day causing a nearby male member of “The Liberal" staff to spill his coffee. She immediately amended her remark to say that “at least I hated being a girl when I was small.” Yes, Linda was one of those. A “Tom-Boy.” “My parents encouraged me to play sports,” said Linda who is the daughter of Mr.’ and Mrs. Frank Purves of 526 Carrville Road, Richvale. “They still do. They figure it’s much better than just hanging around street corners like a number of teenagers do. And I really enjoy it.” “‘I may have to cut out at least one of the sports,” she said, “due to school studies, although it’s never caused me any difficulty before.” Linda was particularly jubilant on the occasion I talked to her because her school girls' team had just recently downed Richmond Hill High School 12-0 in the annual “Powder-Puff” football champion- other sports in the, .day. N0 TUGBOAT ANNIE SHE » I don’t know about you people but just the word "Tomâ€"Boy" makes me immediately think of a girl built along the lines of Tugboat Annie, Ma Kettle, or Mammy Yokum. Wrong again. Linda is strictly the feminine type. She’s a sen- ior cheerleader at Langstaff Secondary School. She’s also a Grade 12 student with a 70-average in marks and wants to be a school teacher someday, a public school teacher. But more than all this she still manages to par- ticipate in just about every sport going around in- cluding football (Powder-Puff variety), hockey, volleyball, and softball. There are probably some ship. touchdowns. “It was the first time I played that position, right halfback,” said Linda. “I was the substitute. They put me in and I took the ball over the goal line from close in.” This “Powder-Puff” action is anything but a powderpuff deal. It’s real tackling. “We use all the equipment boys do except spikes,” Linda was saying. ~71; But Linda is what you might say used to the rough stuff. She’s been a. member of the Maple Girls’ Hockey Team for the past three years playing in a league with Thornhill, Richmond Hill, Wood- bridge and Unionville. GIRLS PLAY ROUGH “That’s pretty rough,” said Linda. “Those girls try to push you all over the place. There’s a. lot of tripping, high-sticking. I guess girls aren’t as used to playing smoothly as boys. They use their sticks for more than shooting the puck?” Lirlda readily admlts thét while being a. left-winger on the team she’ll never make a Frank Mahovlich. She hasn't scored a goal in her three-year hoc- key career. “But I pick up a lot of assists,”’ she insisted. Linda has also played softball with the Maple girls for the past three years and admits that last season was the sweetest because her team upset the powerful Ron McAndrewâ€"coached Mic-Macs to win the championship. Oh yes, she plays first base. p n" 'Ilonrfiirndé. isvhérd at-work practising for the school volleyball season and that’s been good going too. - ‘ ‘v u 0----0 -V- “Ourvschool-team has won the Jamboree Volley- ball Championship every year playing against such schools as Richmond Hill High, Bayview Secondary, and Thornlea.” So what’s left?

Steelmaster, to three clear rounds over an Olympic- style course. Day edged Canadian team- mate Jim Elder, also a Rich- mond Hill area resident. in a jump-off. Elder was ahead of Day’s time, and was clear when he turned his versatile young jumper. The Immigrant, into the final hurdle. But The Immigrant took down the last rail of the spread with his hind legs, and the $1,000 first prize went to Day. Elder's second was worth $900. On Saturday night the Canad- ian team won the Royal Horse Show’s international team for only the second time in more than 30 years. Canada de- feated the United States. The victory was Canada’s when the third U.S. rider in the McKee Stake, the last of the 13 international classes, knocked over a jump. Since there were already three clear rounds, none by a US. rider. that ended any chance of the US. team‘s getting the first and third they needed.
