THORNHILL 223-8066 SPORTS we we RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, MAY 28, 1970 By Fred Simpson Light And Shadow Life is full of light and shadow and sooner or later you get to walk in the rain. Which brings us around to this week's column which is a sort of “shadow” deal. Yes. we have some unhappy Richmond Hill soccer people who feel they are wrongfully being overshadowed or.over- looked by the Richmond Hill Parks and Recreation Committee. My mother always told me there were two sides to every story and I’ve come to learn there are even as many as six depending how many humans are involved. So we’ll start off with the soccer people and get around to the parks and recreation later on. I might even throw in a few brilliant observations myself although I haven’t felt really too brilliant to date in 1970. Worse than that, I keep proving it by talking. Chatted with two soccer spokesmen, namely Tom Young and Bob Graham afterrreceiving a note from them explaining their unhappiness with the local soccer situation. They went to considerable pains to stress they were complaining more in sorrow than in anger. Which. of course. is their privilege and I’m only too happy to give them the space to do so. The note just about sums up the situation from their side so I’ll let it do the talking from here on in: RAW DEAL? “The Richmond Hill Soccer Club committee feels it is getting a raw deal in this community. In 1969 the club was granted the use of Crosby Park at a considerable expense to the said club. “At the end of the season the goal posts were torn down and softball ‘floodlights erected. To continue ‘senior soccer’ in the community the club had to move to Langstaff. “It does not seem fair that a town with a pop- ulation of 20,000 can have two hockey arenas, two floodlightâ€"lit baseball parks and a subsidized tennis court but cannot support one soccer team. “In the past four years we as taxpayers in this community have been moved out of four different locations. We are a totally self supported club. We finance our entrance fee into the Newmarket and District Soccer League by membership contributions and dances. “Any time the Town of Richmond Hill is asked for assistance we are turned down. We have been told at the recreation committee meeting that they do not have a park for us in Richmond Hill this year, next year or the next but possibly in three or four} years’ time they might have facilities availablerfo'r us.’ ' That’s about it from the soccer end of it except to add that Mr. Young did say that the town had offered a soccer pitch at Palmer Avenue but the area just wasn’t wide enough for the regulation soc- cer field required. ' v ' “We could have played at Bayview Secondary School but the conditions of the field because of usage just weren’t good enough for senior soccer.” He went on to add that Aurora provides two soccer pitches for its teams. Other areas such as Orangeville, Barrie and Newmarket, ditto. Why not Richmond Hill? * it i 8 it WHY, MR. WHITE? . “I asked Recreation Administrator A] White wh no . The answer was simple, to the point. “We just haven’t got any land at the moment bigrenough to carry a regulation-sized soccer field. We haven’t forgotten the soccer club or are ignor- ing them. We’re hoping to purchase some land in the near future but right now we just haven’t the space.” Mr. White also said that the committee had attempted to do its best for the soccer club by grant- ing temporary quarters at Crosby Park. “But we made it clear it was only temporary because the park was needed for minor ball and the lights were needed also. There are some 34 minor ball teams plus two girls and three fastball leagues to accommodate and the space was needed. “We thought we had an ideal pitch for soccer at 'Palmer Avenue but as it turned out it was long enoughbut not wide enough. We also made queries to see if a soccer pitch was being planned at the Don Head School but they said no, not at the present time anyway.” The soccer spokesmen were also informed at a recreation meeting that a money grant was out of the question this year but the matter would be considered next year. _ The same Mr. White said that lights had been subsidized for the local tennis-club. He added that the club had done much for recreation in the town for a number of years stating it’s a two-way street. “I’m sure the soccer club would do the same but it again boils dovm to lack of space. A tennis court, after all, is much smaller and the local one has been there for years. They’ve done a lot for themselves.” The committee did get the soccer boys space at Langstaff which they are grateful for but it isn’t in Richmond Hill where they want to be, feel they deserve to be. 01y opinion? I am in sympathy with the feelings of the soccer club. A minority group has every bit as much right as a majority group but. unfortunately. the majority group logically gets the "priority" signal. It's a way of life. “It's an old, old story. You have to keep ham- mering on the door until you get what you want. ‘ I feel the senior soccer team should be accommo- dated in Richmond Hill as soon as physically pos- sible. I can only believe it when I'm told no one wants to give them a fast shuffle. If I thought they were. if I knew they were. or. if I find out in the future they have been. I‘ll be the first to scream out with my piteous little voice. Right HOW. I have to believe this isn't the case. Only so many things can be accomplished at one time and someone is bound to be left out.

If you get a kick out of driving a special, very personal kind of car with 125 mph performance and breathtaking acceleration (SS M; mile in 16.5 secs.) then this is your kind of car. It‘s got everything. It‘s not often that we think automobile engineers have done everything right. We always figure We can improve on its styling or ap- pointments or somethingâ€"but not on this baby, The Datsun engineers did everything right. Here are a few of the good things you'll get: a 150 hp. 2400 cc single overhead cam 6-cy1inder engine. twin SU-type carbs, strutâ€"type independent suspension all around, racing-type rack and pinion steering. disc brakes in front (power assistedl. all synchro 4-speed stick shift. radial tires, reclining buckets. wooden steering wheel on safety collapsible steering column, steering lock with buzzer. 160 mph speedo. tach, trip odo.. oil pressure and water temp. gauges, fuel and amp. gauges, face level flow through ventilation -â€" and auto-tune radio with power antenna.

With all these goodies as standard. this car has been hailed as the bargain of the sports car world by leading motoring magazines. As we are getting tremendous response from . the public, demonstrations by appointment only. ¢ Don’t forget the Datsun 1600 for 1970 Sometimes We get a bit carried away with the wild new glamour car. but the Datsun that really put us on the map is the Datsun 1600. You‘ll see a few changes like a slightly revised grille. a new dash with big round instru- ments and an automatic in the 2-door. as well as in the 4‘door and wagon. Some say the Datsun 1600 looks a little heater. Sure. But it's also a little safer. There's a longer stroke collapsible steering column, larger turn signal lights. a steering lock with buzzer. It's proven spunky and economical 96 hp. engine is the same. just as is the road-hugging ail independent suspensron system. You can have one for $2185. What about the super-economy Datsun 1000? This baby's unchanged. It still goes like a Whippet in traffic and walls down the highway at up to 84 mph and goes up to 40 miles per gallon. A car full of extras for $1845. Round off the Datsun line with the pickup and camper. The Datsun pickup continues to outsell all other imported trucks combined in North America, Couple that with our camper and you have the lowest priced rig on the market. DATSUN N EILL ' LTD.
