SNACK BAR REVENUE SUBSIDIZE HOCKEY FEES Dear Mr. Sports Editor:â€" It seems that Richmond Hill families are to be bled white again this season when they register the kids for minor hockey at the local arena. With registration fees up more than 80%. pity the poor father with five boys. He will be required to find $150. just to qualify for ice-timeâ€"and tha's just the start! Naturally. the Richmond Hill‘ Hockey Association (RHHA) will be blamed for the increase. but is it really their fault? As‘ RHHA President Tom Graham. points out. one of the reasons for the increase is the jump ink costs of ice rental set by the arena board. and dances (some $10.00 a shot‘r. Is this not helping in some way? How come East _Gwillimbury can charge $2.50 a person for a new arena, Newmarket only $5.00. East York and Weston $3.00 and you tell us we are still the cheapest going. You say you never refuse a child hockey assistance, but what parent has such humility to ask for three or four sons to be “charity cases” as it were. How come? ‘.’-â€"â€"How come? 1" -â€" I want to know how come '.’ " What is going on? And please don't quote those usual rising prices again. Parents. are you to give in so easily? Too lazy to fight for the poor guy even though you have only one son: do us a favor and put in a word to the right guy __1..L.-_.. Surely the time has come for members of town council and the arena board to discuss ways and means whereby they might assist this volunteer organiza- tion in keeping down costs of operation. The unpaid work done by! members of this community} group is to be applauded. and! it should be recognized by town: council that these men and \\'o-‘ men deserve to be supported. One way in which the town! might do this is to grant the; RHHA the sole concession for‘ catering food at the arena. The receipts from same should eliminate the need for any- thing but a one dollar token registration fee from all the boys concerned in local minor hockey. "HOW COME“? Dear Mr, Sports Editor.â€" What has happened to the? money-hungry Richmond Hill‘, Hockey Association. that theyi could even consider depriving. the majority of young boys; from playing their major u'inter‘ sport (and don't give me this see-saw about rising costs, etc. mentioned in your previous stories). Surely such an expert committee could solve such a problem. A good organization is suppOSed to be able to work miracles. Isn't that why they took the job?

I've told you and told you that in this life there is no such thing as being a winner all the time. Take myself. I was a winner in 1955 and I never want to be one again. All it did was bring me bad luck. Trouble and sorrow and aches and pains ever since. Which brings us painfully around to the past Labor Day weekend and, come to think of it, “labor” is a most appropriate word.
