14 (Continued from Page 13) Federation has campaigned and achieved the manda- tory nature of the hunter safety training course for new hunters 19 years 'of age and under; Bill 115 was passed to give the sportsmen and the public in general access to some of the roads held in the for- est limits of our woods’ operators; the federation was the first organization to become concerned about gm lerosion of the recreation resources of Algonquin ar .‘ “Our study of the problems of the park,” said Ted, “resulted in the formulation of a brief which contained management recommendations which was subsequently presented to Premier Robarts.” A‘nd soy the steady pecking away goes on until action is achieved. “We just want Ontario to remain a desirable place to live in,” commented Ted” “The land still has beauty and the land is free to us all. “We have been promised a place to stand. This is not enough when you can’t, breathe the air, nor drink the water. We the people of Ontario want and deserve, in addition to a place to stand, a place to fish and hunt.” Ted doesn’t just point the finger of blame at large don’t-care industries. “There’s too many of us average citizens who just don’t care outselves. We talk about. pollution but then we go up to our cottages and dump effluent into the lakes we use for our recreation.” I agree. It’s the old story of everybody worry- ing but nobody doing. At least it has been up to now. But it’s organizations like A & H who have been doing for years that are finally getting the ear. Hopefully, it won’tsbe too late. But no matter what, you’ve got to start now. “,I can’t say I .do it for eating purposes, I just enjoy it. But I’ll tell you one thing. When I want to fish I don’t go to Lake Erie. I go to Manitoulin Island or some rivers and lakes in Northern Ontario where there’s not likely to be pollution.” On a more personal note, Ted has been an out- doors type most of his 52.years. He likes fishing but mainly for the sport of it. But, as you probably know; you can’t even bank on that any more. You’Ve read all about paper mills and thé pollution they cause up north. Ted recalls that as far back as 1948 it was almost impossible to fish in the Spanish River. “I tried it, the stink Was something fierce. I went all the way down and up the river. Didn’t get ‘a fish.” ' Ted, who is married, now lives at Mount Albert He’s been with A&H for seven years but most of his life revolved around the army. Ted was in the services for 25 years. So that’s it. The word is pollution. Anyone for a glass of water? Aggh. Now, in keeping with the chill weather we’ll swing through with a hockey note. Remember a chap by the name of Harold Tom- ]inson? Willr refresh your memory. Harold was a resident of Richmond Hill for 13 years and formerly lived at 173 Ruggles Avenue. Two years ago he moved to Ogden, Utah, which is allowable. The point of all this is that Harold got together with some acquaintances this past winter and organized a minor hockey association comprising 145 boys, most of whom had never been on skates before let alone played hockey. Harold coached the boys who ranged from 8 to 10 years old and reports fantastic results. In their first year of operation a club fromJ-Iarold’s‘organizâ€" ation took second place in the race for the state championship trophy for their group while the 11-12 year old age bracket boys won ,a trophy. Not bad. Congrats to Harold. ' Harold, by the way, has a brother, Clarence,‘living at 370 Balkan Road in Richmond Hill. HERE AND THERE Now for the here and there notes. One Thomas Graham reports that interest is rapidly building in establishing a Junior Golf Devel- opment Program in Richmond Hill with a view to encouraging the y0uthful club-swingers to get inter- ested in a game which could ultimately bring fame and fortune ala Arnold Palmer, Billy Casper, etc. At the least, great enjoyment. A local golf operator (who wishes to remain anonymous) is interested in promoting such a pro- .g'ram providing there are enough interested adults to get the show on the road. Once established, the Ontario Golf Association will supply instructors for :special pro clinicsito be held under the auspices of the junior group. I But. firstly, is needed help from interested adâ€" ults, male and/or female. If you’re in any way en- thusiastic about seeing such a development in Rich- mond Hill call Mr. Graham at 884-2437. But only if ‘you’re really interested and really interested in working on such a; project. More on this later. Also, Mary Williamson of the Wimbridge Cleaners Intermediate Girls reports an exhibition game this Saturday at 8 pm at the main ball dia- monds here. Opposition will be the Fairbank girls. Going for Richmond Hill on the pitching mound this season will be Marion Fox who was a star hurler for a number of years in Metro girl rfastball circles. She’s a dandy and could mean an All-Ontario title for the locals who just missed out last season. More on her later, much more.

Mic Mac Juveniles Two Exhibition Wins The Richmond Hill Juvenile Mic Macs are off to a winning start on the exhibition trail this season. Ron McAndrews’ Mic Macs downed Scarboro 17-14 and 25-7 the other week. The juveniles will beiplaying‘ in the ll-team â€"- possibly 12 with the expected addition of Bramalea â€"â€" York Central Juve- nile Girls’ League this seasons Mr. cAndrews states his team " 'ght not be the power :0f the league this season but we hope to be a contender all the way. Time will tell. It helps ito get off on the right foot.” The Richmond Hill Legion Mic Mac Juniors are also prac- ticing every Thumday at Crosby Park at 7 pm. Any aspirants to the team are welcome. "7'71‘0 date the juniors are a team in search of a league. ‘ “We have a number of possi- bilities," observed McAndrews, “but there’s not that many good possibilities. There just aren’t that many girls’ leagues around in this bracket." McAndrews is considering a league composed of Oshawa, Barrie, Bay Ridges, and Rich- mond Hill, but nothing has been finalized. North York Aquatics' Swim Tag Day May 9 The North York Aquatic Club, which is based at the Memorial Swimming Pool in WillowdaLe, will be holding its annual Tag Day May 9. N0 Roller Skating At Richmond Hill Arenas The club sent two swimmers} to the Olympics in Tokyo in‘ 1964. They were Marianne‘ Humineuk and Dan Sherry, the world record holder for the Butterfly Stroke. North York \also sent two swimmers, Denise Fitzgerald and Sue Alderson, to the Canada Games in 1969. The Social Planning Council of Richmond Hill and District was hoping to enlist community support for a roller skating program at Richmond Hill Arena but fliese plans were shot down when they learned neither arena has a floor suihable for roller skating. At the March meeting of the council, Rev. John Sharon Sullivan V and Paul Bond also represented the club this year in the U.S. Nationals. These swimmers and others who hold Canadian and Ontario records will be making the door-knocking rounds May 9 in the name of Tag Day. Lawrence of St. John's Baptist Church reported on behalf of the youth com- mittee that 200 pairs of skates would be needed at a cost of $5,000 to open the arena for roller skating, but at the next meeting in April, the council learned the idea would have to be abandoned. He was told by the arena management, said Mr. Law- nence, that the concnehe in the new arena would need a special surface flit was to be used for this purpose. as the skates would ruin the concrete. The old arena, he reports, will need a new floor in a couple of years, and when that time comes Mr. Law- rence thinks th e town RICHMOND HILL INDUSTRIAL SOFTBALL LEAGUE HAS OPENINGS FOR Managers, Coaches and Players ANYONE INTERESTED SHOULD CONTACT PRESIDENT DAVE BARTON Plan Flops RESULTS 884-2369 John Banks at 1,062; Roy Thompson 1,053; John Moore 1,039; Tim Saul 1,031; Stew Smith 1,029; Arne Skretteburg 1,027; Bob Julian and Norm Roberts, 1,012; Shirl Smith 1,009; and Jack Hall, 1,004. ABC BOWLING CLUB The second night of the series finished Friday night and the teams are as close as ever. Baby Heifers are leading with 6,268 pins for six games. In second place are The Wots with 6,234 pins followed by The Hill- billies with 6,184. Trophies will be up far grabs both by t-hewinners and the r‘ ers-up. he Ladies were led by Helen GTeig with 657 (185, 1'76, 296). Trailing here were Barb Ald- ridge with 647 (249, 209. 189); ‘and Pat Horton 643 (192, 226, 215). sa_y Cliff Garland Sr. was the front-runner for the men with 78-1 (270, 297, 217). Next came Ken Plews with 717 (206, 161, 350); and Don Powell with 702 (269, 204, 229). should have a pretty big say in what kind of floor is The club’s annual bowling banquet will be held at the Richmond Hill Legion June 6. Dinner will be served at 7 pm sharp. Roast beef will be the target for the night. In past years, he said, private concessionatires have approached the arena board offering to provide skates and equipment, but had to be turned down. 'Ilf ,a small charge was made for admission or for use of the skates, the money spent would soon be recovered, Mr. Lawrence declared. and the arena could be used full time, in- stead of just for hockey. Any club member planning on bringing a friend or friends is asked to notify John Filkus or Peter Milne so that a meal can be ordered. ' Keon, Harris In Town Friday At Hill Arena Mr. Lawrence suggested that, if the town sees fit to help sponsor the project, arrangements might be made with one of the local schools. such as Don Head Secondary, to have racks made in the school shops as 1 project for the students. Chairman Fred Jackson told the April meeting there is no doubt of the success of the weekly drop- in centre at St. Mary's An- glican Church which was initiated by the social plan- ning council, but other facilities for recreation are needed by the local youth. NHL Stars Billy Harris and Davey Kean will be in Rich- mond Hill Arena tomorrow night (Friday) from '7 to 8 pm. They’ll be on hand to Sign autographs and to also publicize the Billy Harris Hockey School which runs for 10 weeks begin- ‘ning June 29 at Doublerink Arenas in Vaughan. All younsteré are welcome. mnuumll““Wm“\\l\“\l\\\l\\“\\“\\\\\\m\“\l\\\\l\\\\l\“\\\\m Kite - Flyers Warned Danger y Hydro Wires Ontario Hydro has warned kite flying enthusiasts that carelessness could cut short their summer recreation.

Emm“l\Mm\“t“MNMRMW\WWWM\\I\WMMMMMWM‘WWWNMME High School Sports \N On May '2, Thornhill, Richmond Hill, Lang- staff and Bayview took part in the Quaker Relays. The relays were held at Pickering College in Newmarket. They have been an annual event since they were founded by C. R. “Blackie” Blackstock in 1954. At that time, “Blackie” was in charge of phys. ed. at Pickering College, The following is a direct quote taken from the annual booklet put out by Pickering for the relays. The quoted Section was written by C. R. Blackstock. “The Quaker Relays, initiated in 1954, is an annual event on the high school track and field calendar. 11: is an all-relay meet m which 40 to 50 schools participate each year. “The relays are run on a fine quarter-mile track on the College’s Memorial Field in New- market. The many athletes are given a chance to compete against their peers and they and the coaches an opportunity to watch the best teams “Each race is named for a Canadian, who has been prominently associated with track either as a competitor or as a coach. The winners of each race receive a certificate bearing the picture of the person for Whom the race is named and a winning ribbon. “The Quaker Relays have stimulated a grow- ing interest and participation in this kind of racing. Pickering College is pleased that the relays continue to be an attractive event, another occasion for (friendly competition, and that for some it will be a step closer to any event under the Olympic flag.” The Quaker Relays consist of every type of relay imaginable from sprint relays (4x110 yards) to the mixed medley( 220, 440, 660, 880) with each starter running a different leg. This means that one school starts with a 220 sprinter while, at the same time the second school starts the race with a 440 sprinter and the third school starts with a 660 runner, etc. Since this meet was established, 143 different schools have competed. Readers of “The Liberal” will be proud to know that two local schools hold ' ' ‘ “- I 1 71:" 7T2~L LA'IA.‘ Will. 'uc yLvuu uv ._-.‘. .V ~_~,,, records in this meet. Richmond Hill High holds the record time of 58.3 seconds in the Larry O’Connor Senior Shuttle Hurdle relay. This relay is a 440 yard race. Each runner races 110 yards over 9 flights set at three feet. The tricky part comes in where the second and fourth hurdlers have to run against the hurdles. They either clear the hurdle completely or hit it just right or they will be more likely to fall than the hurdle. Thornhill Secondary holds the record time of 42.2 seconds in the James Worral Junior Shuttle Hurdle relay. This race consists of 320 yards where each hurdler runs 80 yards over six flights set at 2 feet, 6 inches. Of the Zone 6 schools, Thornhill is leading with 13 wins (also the most number of victories of any school in the meet). Richmond Hill has 11 wins, Bayview has three, Langstaff and Wood- bridge have one win each. Thornhill sent two teams to the meet this year. It was the junior team who brought home the school’s 13th win. They competed in the James Worrall Shuttle Hurdle and won with the time of 44.6 seconds â€"- only four-tenths of a second away from the Runners were, in order of posmon, wen Crouter, Craig Scott, Craig Allen and Mark Cody. Peter Hiscott, the coach, is very hopeful for the team next year because all but'Scott will be jun- iors again. Thornhill’s Senior Team entered the Larry O’Connor Senior Shuttle. The team: Peter Aim- one, Chris Flaum, Barry Dobson, and Frand Fruhwirth, placed second. Langstaff entered three teams this year. The boys’ team was entered in the Frank Hal'bus Junior Medley. They placed 6th out of 12 schools. Runners were Gary Sitta (440), Lynn Warner (110), Bill Kenny (110), and Bryan Hills (440). Langstaff had two girls’ teams entered in the Centennial relay. This race was initiated in 1967 for girls under 20. It is the meet’s special race. The first team consisted of Debbie Jeffries, Kathy Burlington, Ann Hofland, and Bev Voigt. This team placed sixth out of 32. schools. The second team consisting of Wendy Paul, Bev Smith, Nancy Taylor, and Kathy Ross placed third. The Centennial Race is a 440 relay where each girl runs a 110 leg. Bayview also entered three teams this year. The junior boys placed fourth in the Frank Hal- bus Junior Medley. Runners were Ron Duern (440), Henry Kattenburg' (110), Jim Morby (110), and Bill Schell (440). AHA“ .41-- __- .1 “.5.- \LLV’, uuu usu my»--- The senior team ran very strongly and won the Captain Cornelius Mixed Medley Relay. Run- ners were Steve Addley (220), Terry Watson (440), Terry Taylor (660) and Jim Ball (880). The girls’ team, entered in the Centennial Relay, consisted of Debbie Stoness, Angie Wilson, Lynn Olson and “Yours Truly”. The team placed fourth out of 32. 1 ‘ giggligfidvfiill also entered a girls’ team and they placed fifth (dug to very poor coin flipping). I w'as‘ unable to get the names time for this article.
