MEMORY IN A HOUSEâ€" by L. M. Boston. An in- spiring book telling of the loving restoration of a 10th Century manor house. Many photographs of the lovely home add vividness to this fascinating journey back through time. Music, garden- ing. and the people who pass through the author‘s life, are the other subjects for in- teresting comment. (Non-fic- tion at Thornhill and Union- ville.) RICHIE â€" by Thomas Thompson. The emotionally shattering story of a tragedy brought about by drug addic- tion. The book presents a Tom Wicker. The bureau chief of a powerful news- paper, while attending the funeral of his friend and co- crusader, Senator Hunt And- erson, thinks back over their long, stormy public careers. He analyzes the many strands which bound him to this am- bitious, complex man, and to his beautiful wife, and muses over the strange twist of fate which wrested from the dead man the greatest prize of all.

All-star teams entered seven tournaments and the peewee and midget boys completely swamped the Maple tourney. The bantam girls were second in York District and the midget girls second in North York. With a capable and enthusiastic line-up of coaches, the league .was undeniably successful. Many problems were encountered due to a lack of financial and sufficient physical help from the Town-of Markham. -' Although invited to present plans to the parks and recreation department, the Softball League was unsuccess- ful in convincing the authorities of the needs. Throughout the season hazardous diamonds were used, and worn out equipment could not always be replaced. Bob Adams formed an umpires’ associa- tion. A clinic was held during the early spring and an unprecedented 90% of all games were officially umpired. The quality of play in the house league improved in almost all areas. All championship team players received indi- vidual "trophies. A donation of free umpiring bailed out the league in the end. Some profit was made at the final parade and in selling pictures. The year ended slightly in the black, but with a great amount of worn out equipment. MINDFOGGING â€" by Michael Rogers.

Mr. Cox noted that the motorists respected the four-way stop sings at the intersection “and Were very considerate to the pedes- trian. However, some of the smaller children did not have the confidence to cross the intersection when vehic- les were stopped and would wait until the traffic clea- red." Much the same situation prevails at the Royal 0r- chard-Inverlochy interwe- tion. “Royal Orchard Boulevard is a 36 foot wide paved road and Inverlochy Boulevard is also paved and 28 feet wide There are pedestrian side- walks on the east side of Invemchy and on the north side of Royal Orchard Bou- levard.

The Thornhill Softball League must educate the Town of Markham on the advantage to this community of a well-run softball program. It can be suc- cessful only when the town is convinced that keeping over 700 children in a progressive softball program is a worthwhile endeavor. Parks and Recreation Director Bruce Holdsworth fielded many questions. He ex- plained the town has no policy for grants, just for facilities. The diamonds are much better than in the past, but many problems exist. The parks and recreation department has not been able to expand as quickly as the population plus the rising inflation. Without more support and encourage- ment, the volunteer must work against very difficult problems. The size of the league is such that decisions which are constantly based on lack of money make it almost impossible to continue. Small purchases of equipment time and again to replace the lost, worn out or dam- aged equipment is unbelievably frustrating. Much higher fees do seem undesirable, but per- haps necessary. One lighted diamond cannot handle the load. If trades can be made with surround- ing communities for lighted diamonds, Thom- hill will sacrifice unlighted ones, and further restrict the number of games played by h0use league teams. Limiting registration may be the only answer. ing 1973. Since Thornhill will have eight or nine representative teams in 1974, lighted diamonds are an imperative. (Teams from out- of-town cannot arrive in Thomhill to start games at 6:30 pm to be finished before dark).
