The win was Richmond Hill’s first of the best- of-seven Metro Junior “B” 1972 finals; Markham won the first two games handily by 7â€"0 and 9-3 scores. It was a vastly different story this time out as the gritty Rams came from behind four times to tie and then move out in front to stay. Just when everyone figured they were about to bedburied by a mountain, the Richmond Hill Rams move it. It was like getting trapped in a flash flood. That was the story on the weekend as the Rich- mond Hill Rams were crushed 7-0 and 9-3 by Mark- ham Sealers in the first two games of their best-of- seven Metro Junior “B” finals.

Twelve seconds later it was Langdon getting a breakaway on another loose puck and he also beat the unfortunate Woolnough.

I can understand how such a wholesale clear- ance would affect Mr. Ham who states (rightly so) that his is one of the few Richmond Hill teams in the past few years to get as far as an All-Ontario let alone win it. “I'm getting just a little tired of having Ching- uacousy fans behind our bench instead of Richmond Hill ones.” said Ham. “1 don‘t mind it so much at Chinguacousy but it's a little disconcerting to have it in your home arena, too.” He feels his team is being unjustly treated by Richmond Hill minor hockey supporters (with the exception of a handful of tried and true fans) and can’t figure why it should be so. “They’re sending everyone home happy but their home teams. Why should we be treated as a second rate attraction in our own town? Here we're in the All-Ontario finals and no one seems to care. You can say I'm very disappointed in Richmond Hill fans. in their attitudes. Don't they think we’re worth supporting?” I can sympathize with his feelings and add that it’s unfortunate so many things are happening at one time in Richmond Hill.

Stop ’N Shep DISCOUNT MARTS REPAIRS ‘” ST‘. Nissan Motor Company’s interest in a cleaner environ- ment has manifested itself in a Very concrete fashion with the production of a prototype Datsun 1600 wagon equipped with a vapour engine. The vehicle was developed with the co-operation of the Kinetics Corp. of Sarasota, Florida, and was displayed at the Tokyo Motor Show. The engine (known as the Minto after its inventor Dr. Wallace L. Minto. Kinetics Corp. president) is akin to a steam unit, except that it uses Freon or a similar refrig- erant as the active fluid. Gas expansion is achieved by heating the refrigerant with kerosene or light oil until it is vaporized. During expansion the gas drives a compres- sor-like engine, then condensed and is recirculated. A motor operating through this sort of process produces only water and carbon dioxide, both of which are regular elements of air. Nissan 15 renamed to have an agreement with the Kinetics group for exclusive rights to the Minto engine when and if they are satisfied with its production feasibility. Car makers may go to court over air bag safety device â€"â€" The US. auto industry may find itself forced to take legal action to resolve the dispute over the installation of the air bag safety system of passenger restraints unless a compromise solution is reached soon. The deadline im- posed ibyi the National Highway Safety Bureau is January 1, 1973. but both GM and'Ford insist-that additional time is required to test the radical restraint system. Tire Safety â€" I‘d like to remind drivers that probably the single most important safety factor you should be concerned about in your car. is the condition of your tires. Having good quality tires with plenty of tread left is essential. But the new thing that’s really catching on in tires is radial- ply tires. Sports car and exotic import car owners have been using radials for years and now the word is getting out that radials improve the performance of all types of cars. Among the most popular are Semperit radials. They have an excellent reputation and are available in a wide variety of sizes and tread patterns. That's why we stock Semperit radials exclusively. What is a Semperit radial tire? It is the result of an entirely different concept of tire engineering. It is actually two tires in one. It is made of two separate components â€"- radial plies running at 90° from bead to head. and a tough mesh belt running around the face of the tire in a continuous band. A radial tire is virtually twice as strong in this area as a conventional tire. that‘s one reason why it can increase mileage. increase control, increase performance, gives a smoother ride and improves gas mileage. How does it give greater mileage? Because of its strength it remains stable on all road sur- faces. at speed and in corners. Conventional tires \rriggle and squirm and distort and build up heat and scrub out much more than radials. I've driven on Semerit radials for several years and think they're great â€" only one of the elements that can make driving less hazardous. Also consider special driving lights, using seatbelts and keep your windows clear at all times. We‘ve got a plastic electrically heated panel to fit rear windows that do the job perfectly. Here‘s a tip: Always buy a set of 4 radial tires Running a pair of radials and a pair of ordinary tires can be lethal.
