After he's learned to isolate different sounds he must learn to put them back together to make a new sound. Try it yourself â€" take the initial sound of the noise a key makes in a lock, add the final sound that a spoon hitting a dish makes, then add the middle sound that the ball and bat made in Manila to win the World Championship. (Remem- ber that it doesn't make the same sound as a base hit does in Richmond Hill in July). Now what’s the word? Before children can decode written symbols they must master an impressive amount of learning. They first must understand that those lines and circles are really “talk”. Until they get this idea the whole exercise is a mystery to them. Then they have to see slight differences in the form of letters. This is just as difficult as it might be for you to identify the chipping sparrow and the song sparrow. At the same time the child has to learn the sounds that letters make in isolation. Most words have an ex- plosive kind of single sound but the child must dis- criminate between the beginning sounds of “why” and “we”. .Can you distinguish the difference be- tween the initial sounds of a chipping and a song sparrow’s song? If you insist that they do extra school work then make sure there is some success and enjoyment accompanying the exercise. If he‘s in primary school and weak in reading then write him a long involved story explaining where his Easter Egg is hidden. Arithmetic bingo can be played to decide who gets out of the dishes. A poor speller can be made to fill in the missing letters in a note telling him to go and play. Your high school student has to be studied with â€" sit down with him and try to figure out that Math problem together (if you've got the guts). If you’re not prepared to do this and can‘t think of interesting ways of getting kids to do homework. then forget it. , ‘The teacher may be right in suggesting that your child isn’t ready to read. Your question of her should be, “What is he ready for?” My child’s teacher says he is just not ready to read â€"- that he‘ll likely fail his year. Is there any- thing I can do? D.B. Your son may not be ready to read yet but he is ready for some further development of these re- quired skills. Go back and find out in which skills he's weak and how you can help him strengthen them. If she tells you again that your son is a failure, smile sweetly and advise her that he wasn’t until he got to her room. NORTH YORK Phil Major's CONVERTIBLE AT 5734 YONGE ST.

It w'as Richmond Hill on a soggy-donut night in mid-March of 1972. Over 5,000 winter-bleached Richmond Hill and area fans surrounded a cumbersome, floodlit stage that sagged under its load of athletics and dignit- aries. But it also was home for the sun-bleached Richmond Hill Dynes Jewellers â€" 1972 World Softball Champions. The scene _ was Richmond Heights Centre Wednesday night of last week. Front and centre was a little man by the name of Russell "Casey" Cripps. He was clutching a microphone and reeling off names like Domik, Hames, Drennan, McDonald, Ferry, Reid, Downing, and saying “what a heck of a tournament they played” over and over again. Loud busts of applause greeted each of the local heroes as his name was called and he bounced forward. It was the night Richmond Hill went just a little bit slap- happy in honor of the Dynes Jewellers. They had just finish- ed startling everyone by down- ing the United !States 1-0 in the final game of the World‘s Soft- ball Tournament in the Philip- pines. Two Shining trophies and a Gold Medal told the story in eloquent fashion. They were the big winners. Then it was the line-up of; special guests to go through as‘ Master-of-Ceremonies Ken Foss‘ reeled off‘such names as Mayor‘ William Lazenhy. Councillor! Lois Hancey. Barney‘ Danson‘ MP. Donald Deacon MLA, and‘ on and on. There were congratula- tory letters from Prime Minister Trudeau and Pre- mier Davis, from ball of- ficials near and far. There was Ontario - Michigan Fastball League President George Mahler of Windsor.” making a $100 contribution to reduce the deficit in- curred by the Jewellers during their stay in Man- ila. And there was an an- nouncement that Ontario would contribute $2.000 to the coffers and might even consider further financial requests. There were promises of more financial help to come in the way of special "nights" and campaigns. Youngsters circulat- ed among the spectators selling Dynes Jewellers â€" 1972 World Softball Champion bumper stickers. Less than three weeks ago the Jewellers and a small en- tourage of wives and fans had flown almost unhearalded to Manila in a bid to add the world‘s title to their Ontario and Canadian championships. They arrived back at Inter- national Airport Wednesday night to be greeted by television cameras. newspaper photo- graphers and 250 sign-waving fans. It was all there The fans crushed against the doors in the arrival area as the other passen- gers on the flight from Vancouver were allowed off first. The team was held on the plan to allow the other people to get away. Also to meet them was a two- man color guard from Rich- mond Hill Legion, Branch Cheering jubilant fans jammed Malton Airport March 15 to welcome back to Canada the World Champion Dynes Jewellers Softball team on their triumphant return from Manila, the Philippines. It was an even greater mob scene at Richmond Heights Centre, an hour and a half later when Richmond Hill' gave the Dynes players and management a reception unequalled in the history of the town. It is estimated that approximately 6,000 fans were present to cheer the team and each individual player on their remarkable accomplishment.

Resounding Welcome For Our Softball Heroes By FRED SIMPSON 375. The color guard stood on each side of the escal- ator doors as the players walked through to face the throng. Then is was a police-escorted bus ride to Richmond Hill, more cheers and fanfare, and then over to the Legion Hall for more frivolity and well-wishes. The Richmond Hill, Jaycees staged the welcome at Rich- mond Heights Centre. The Legion banquet room was the scene of a dinner by the Legion intermediate girls soft- ball team and they threw open the doors to the Jewellers. There were fans roaming around waving editions of Man- ila newspapers bearing head- lines attesting to the Dynes‘ vic- tory. All of the players came in for huzzahs. But hurler Dick Hames came in for some of the more vocal ef- fort, along with Jumping Joe O’Neil and Derek Kin- nersley. flames. of London. was particularly popular in the wake of his 11th inning single and pitching that won it all for the Jewellers. “It was a big thrill all ONCE-A=YEAR MILL CLEAROUT A wide selection of beautiful prints in this fine, comfortable dress material.
