Their bows and arrows turned the tide at Crecy (1346) Poit- ers (1356) and Agincourt (1415). The bow and arrow helped bring about the end of feudalism, for now the yeoman was not powerless under the lord. Marathon occurred. The influence of the bow and arrow on modern history began with the Norman bowmen of William the Con- querer whose deadly archery helped defeat the English at the Battle of Hastings. The crossbow and arbalest were among the most important weapons of the Crusades. The longbow was later highly favored when its speed and effectiveness were discovered. The arrow had enough power to penetrate the armor of men and horses. This led to its use by whole corps of highly trained archers. The bow remained the most important single weapon until the invention of gunpowder and reliable firearms. Cossacks armed with bows and arrows marched into Paris as late as 1814. The use of the bow and arrow by the Amer- ican Indians obscures the fact that it was often resorted to by white frontiersmen when supplies of powder and bullets ran low. Today, in uncivâ€" ilized parts of the world the bow and arrow still plays a big part in everyday life. The English longbow (height of the archer) was made of yew (a tree that was protected by law). The American Indians made their bows of hickory, hemlock, Osage orange, and other native woods. In other parts of the world they were and still are being made of bone, ivory, bam- boo, and other materials. 'The length of the arrow (made of ash) used with the longbow was half that of the bow. The earliest arrows were not tipped. Head-chipped arrowheads of stone were followed by bronze and iron arrowheads. These arrowheads were made out of any hard material. In the north for example, arrowheads are still being carved out of fish bones and walrus tusk ivory. ,lv Flint arrowheads uncovered in prehistoric camp sites and the drawings of bows and arrows on cave walls testify to the use of the weapon by primitive man from 40,000 - 50,000 years ago. The sculpture of the Assyrians and Egyptians often pictured the bow and arrow for hunting and warfare. It was frequently mentioned in Homer. Thousands of arrowheads have been recovered from the plains where the Battle of MATERIALS AND DESIGN 777777 Target archery and the hunting of game with the bow and arrow have developed into highly specialized sports in modern times: High School Sports made to suit the maker's own individual needs. The bow and arrow made it possible for the sav- age to protect himself against wild animals and to kill them at a distance. In later periods. the introduction of the bow and arrow into warfare influenced the course of history. Some arrowheads were grooved so as to rotate the arrow on its own axis like a rifle bullet. As a sport, archery originated in the tournaâ€" ments sponsored by early military leaders and monarchs who knew that competition would in- crease the skill of their archers and wohld lead to the development of better bows and arrows. During the Middle Ages, every able-bodied male was compelled, by law, to practice with his bow and arrow every Sunday. The sheriffs had to set up targets and provide archery facilities. w “The, arrow was a shaft pointed or barbed at one end and notched and feathered at the other. The arrow now has a steel tip, plastic or fibre- tlass notched end and colorful “feathers” made out of plastic. Even though the bow and arrow have come a long way in history, they are still quite popular with young people today. Less expensive than riflery, and requiring just as much skill, archery is widely accepted in high schools and universities. HISTORY The _bow and arrow appeared during the beginning of the Neolithic Period; _'_1‘th were ARCHERY The bow used to be a strip of pliable wood which had the two ends partly bent toward each other and held by a string or cord which was stretched so that it was taut. Now, most of the bows are made of fibreglass. In the reign of Henry VIII (1491 - 1547) the use of crossbows and handguns were forbidden as it interfered with the practise of archery. All archers above the age of 24 were ordered not to shoot with their light-flight arrows at any dis- tance under 220 yards. As improved firearms supplanted the bow and arrow, archery declined and survives today only as an increasingly pop- ular sport. Men’s target bows are from 51,43 to six feet long and require a pull of 35-50 pounds. Women’s bows are from 5 to 51/43 feet long with a pull of 20 - 35 pounds. The targets, which may be placed at distances of 100, 80, 70, 60, 50, or 40 yards are four feet in diameter with a gold “bull’s eye” valued at 9 points, surrounded by concentric rings of red (7 pts.), blue (5 pts.) black (3 pts.) and white (1 pt). Archery tournaments will begin in the near future in zone 6 and I urge you to come out and watch these young archers perform one of the oldest skills known to man. “Thrifty” SHOULDER P"°"' STEAKS IOIEtatoeS SideBacon 69¢ lb.

I7 $120, 000 Pool Roof Paid Over 2 Years Richmond Hill’s 1969 town council will rec- ommend to the 1970 council that the Centennial Swimming Pool be roofed in at an estimated cost of $120,000 to $150,00. The recommendation will also be that one- third of the cost be raised on the 1970 mill rate, one-third of the cost be applied for from the work- ing capital and one-third to be raised on the 1971 mill rate. It is hoped the contract can be let in the fall of 1970 after the season has closed. In presenting the report of council’s finance committee (Chairman, Reeve Donald Plaxton) which had been charged with finding an alternate source of money for the swimming pool roof, when debenturng proved impractical, Reeve Plaxton, said his committee based its recommendaâ€" tion on the fact that a 1969 mill raised a little less than $40,000. The committee had investigated a number of leaseback schemes, in which the town would enter an agreement with a private firm to roof in the pool and lease the facility from that firm, with an option to buy. “However, we discovered that these schemes would pay back the cost in about six years but the lease required would be from 20 to 25 years,” he reported.

Since plans for this revitalizing project were formulated under my chairmanship I am familiar in detail with them and with what is needed to complete this work successfully. O POLLUTION We cannot continue to polute our streams with sewage effluent nor can we continue to grow without an adequate disposal system. I believe Richmond Hill must find a way to join in the OWRC proposal for water and sewage disposal in this area. I believe I can negotiate satis- factory terms to let us do this. 0 RECREATION I think the town should concern itself with the problems of reo- reation for our young and older people. We should help our young people to help themselves.

For the past three years the parks (now parks and recreation) board has been pointing out that because the pool was planned as an enclosed facility, severe winter weather was damaging the concrete and deterioration was rapid. With- out a roof, it was claimed, the pool would become nothing but a hole in the ground. Chairman Shaun Beggs of the 1969 parks and recreation committee was present at council meeting and commented, “After three years I am very happy to hear this recommendation to roof in the pool with the cost spread over a two year period.” Mr. Plaxton also pointed out that Richmond Hill taxpayers can expect some relief from edu- cation taxes in 1970 and further relief from county taxes when the full impact of the new re- assessment is felt in 1971. To use the one-third of the working capital recommended Municipal Board approval will be necessary, the reeve also pointed out. Although a suggestion was made that this year’s council initiate this request, consensus was that the whole matter should be left for decision by the next council which will sit for 1970 and 1971. 328
