is probably the most ramc and faithful Leaf fan be- fore and since sliced bread was invented. The first time, as I recall, Bill Ezinicki was playing for the Leafs. The second was just a few weeks ago to see the 1969-70 Leafs go through their death throes. I’ve only been to Maple; Leaf Gardens twice in my life. Which isn’t oftené when you «tonsider that I’m?” about to turn 100 years old.’ VOL. 93, N 0. MUTUAL STREET ARENA . Frank graduated to the old Mutual Street Arena along about 1914 when such early Toronto teams as The Toronto’s, The Arena’s, and, finally, The St. Pats. were preparing the way for the now famed Maple Leaf teams to follow. “I was about 12 years old then; had to walk four miles. I'd like to see the youngsters of today walk four miles to see a hockey game. They won’t even walk around the block.” Frank, who has lived in Richmond Hill since 1941, started attending hockey games away back in the early 1900’s when he lived 'in Sharon; He went to games in Newmarket. “I remember the'firstgamel ’saw there, I guess it was around 1918. The Montreal Canadiensbeat St. Pat’s 11-1 and the only. goal against them they scored on themselves. It was almost with regret that Frank acknow- ledged that for the “past two winters I haven’t gone as often. ‘I go in the fall, up to Christmas. then it gets too cold and I stay away. The cold bothers me. But I start back in time for the playoffs, when there are playoffs.” . “And I'll always remember Howie Morenz, what a great player. On that particular game he kept the puck all by himself for the full two minutes when the Canadiens were penalized. What a Speedster. He’d go in on two defencemen and jump right over top of them.” Frank paused, considered, then sort of contra- dicted himself which was okay. “That‘s not exactly true. I might have missed a couple. No more than a‘ few. ’Sometimes I had to work, but no more than three for the past 40-some years. Had the same seat in the blues all that time. Right down at the front, south side of the arena. I go with people I'know. Our section is 23A, seats 1, 2, 3, 4. and 5." But to show that Frank by no means lives in the past. “Morenz was great and so was that Boston De- fenceman Eddie Shore. He was ruthless, a very powerful man. But the best one of all time as far as I'm concerned is Bobby Orr. He's got them all beat. Morenz was great too but a fellow like Orr can skate and he’s also strong. Orr's as good as any of them were." ORR GREAT Continuing in the same vein, Frank also goes along with the Bobb:r Hull‘s and the Gordie Howe’s with reservations to Howe. “Howe, of course, is great. But he never gave (Continued on Page 14) 1 Final Series $4.00 PER PERSON 4 _ Reynolds Shoe House 3 Tickets available at Richmond Hill Police Office | In the first game of this ser- Proceeds in Aid of Community Affairs and Minor Sports 3|ies. played Aprll 16.

Mail‘ your letters to the Sports Editor at “The Liberal", Box 390, Richmond Hill. Each year more than two and a half times as many motorists buy used cars compared to new. Yet there are dealers who have continual problems with their used car inventory. MEMO FROM A CAR DEALER Why? The reason lies in the fact that a used car is to a greater or lesser extent a worn vehicle. Even with reconditioning. it will ultimately need far more service than a new car. But if impending repair needs are dis- guised or ignored in order to make a sale. the resulting customer dissatisfaction will turn around and destroy the dealer’s reputation in the community. When a dealer loses this reputation. ever}v sale be- comes a hard-sell to the dealer‘s salesmen with a resulting high turnover in salesmen and high selling casts. Good used cars are usually bought from good dealers. The greatest single safeguard against buying a had used car disguised to look like a good one is the rep- utation of the dealer you are dealing with and his desire to satisfy you and keep you as a customer. See you next week. ENJOYED RICHMOND HILL’S HOSPITALITY TWIN HILLS MERCURY RICHMOND HILL We Welcome Letters Eb: 11112131 President, Tournoi International Midget de Drummondville Inc., Quebec.

Call in to our location and see why this automobile is being so well received by the Canadian motoring public. YONGE ST. I MILE NORTH or RICHMOND HILL 339-0972 Between 1933 and 1962, Nissan built a million vehicles. The second million took until March, 1965. The third million took another two years and the fourth million only 15 months. With the enormous expansion of production facilities and the popularity of Datsuns‘ in more than 90 countries throughout the world, Nissan expects to produce more than a million cars and trucks a year from now on! 1933. The Nissan Motor Co. Ltd. came into being under that name. This year, Nissan celebrates the production of the four- millionth Datsun vehicle made since 1933. â€" which represented the three initials of the three financial backers of the company. Then later models were called Datsonâ€"son of Dat. And finally Datsun. In 1914 a 10 HP. car was creatpd and became the sen- sation of the Taisho Grand Fair. It was called the Dat Datsuns have been around a long time. Since 1911. The predecessor of the Nissan Motor Comp- any, the Kwaishinsha Motor Car Works, was established by Mr. Masujiro Hashimoto. Some day you may run into a sandbox and it will save your life. It’s the idea of John Fitch. who runs a specialty car shop near Lime Rock, Conn. He believes 18,000 lives could be saved a year if sand filled barriers were placed in front of things like bridge abutments. An out-of-control car would 4hit sacks or_ boxes filled with sand. They’d throw up a cloud of sand but the car would come to a gradual stop before hitting an abutment. Fitch tested the concept in 30 crashes into the sand barriers at speeds up to 60 mph. Each time he was uninjured and the cars were driven away under their own power. Black Light Blue. 48” lamp. reg. $18. Now $16.25 Black Light, 48” lamp, reg. $155. Now $10.
