Short 0f Funds And Men Agency To Go Part-Time In a new release last week, Joe Gasper, president of Big Brothers of York, regretfully announced mhat, due «to in- sufficient fund's and lack of community 5 u p po rrt, Big Brothers will have to revert to part-time operation, at least for the present. This means that the agenâ€" cy's first full-time Executive Director George Karpati, who was hired in January, 1973, will be leaving and the board will \hire someone to look after the Big and Little Brothers on ‘a part-time basis as soon as possible. Big Brother Week It means, also, that the board of directors will take a more active part in run- ning the agency’s affairs. The newly formed Big Brother Council is feverishly working to organize the opening event of the 1974 Big Brother Week. January 6 cto 13. All Big and Little Brothers will be invited to take part in a bowling tour- nament at the Newmarke’t Bowlerama Lanes, 81 Davis Drive, Newmarket, opposite the 'New-ma‘rket S h o p p i n g Best ever is the word from the committee in charge of the bird census taking. On December 15, 63 observers covered the established mine routes to count a surprising 7,503 individual birds of 56 species (previous record was 50 species attained in 1963 and 1972). As in former years, the 1973 census was restreoted to a circle, 15 miles in diameter, centred on the junction of Yonge Street and Gormley Sideroad. As a re- sult of the mild weather in the late fall and early win- ter, a little open water was still available for waterfowl at the town mill pond and at Mary Lake. Also, the many bird feeders now operated in the Richmond Hill region .have played an important role in holding birds that otherwise would have migraâ€" ted to the south. Weather conditions for the census were favorable des- pite temperatures in the 4' â€"17° degree range and a brisk northeast wind of from five to 15 miles per hour. Visibility and travelling con- ditions were good. Begun in 1900 by the late1 Dr. Frank. Chapman of the American Museum of Na- tural History, the Christmas Bird Census has become one of the most popular events in the organized. field activi- ties of naturalists’ clubs. More than 700 continent- wide localities in Canada and the us, extending from the Mexican Border to Alaska, are investigated annually and millions of individual birds are counted. These Christmas Censuses, taken on a selected day near Christmas. are of value in providing increased knowl- edge concerning population trends, life cycles and the migratory habits of birds. Of even greater importance is the fact that these counts introduce an ever-increasing number of people to the value of our wildlife and rthe need for sound conservation practices if we are to pre- serve those species whose numbers are shown to be dangerously low. Since the first local bird census was taken in 1955, 83 species had 'been identified here at Christmastime. As an indicaflon of the zeal and expertise of the participants this yea-r, no fewer than nine new birds appeared on the census list for the first time to bring the total to 92 spe- cies.

At the conclusion of the tournament, all the men and boys will have lunch togeth- er at the Aurora Community Centre. As always, Big Brother Week will be celebrated with a concentrated effort to re- cruift Big Brothers for the 33 boys now on the waiting list in York. It will also be seekâ€" ing funds to pay the salary of a part-time counsellor or counsellors who will be nee- ded to carry on the very ne- cessary work of matching up Big and Little Brothers and counselling mothers of fath- erless boys who are seeking help for their sons. Centre on January 6 begin ning at 11 am. In a region the size of York, the board of directors finds it very distressing that there are so_few men who are willing to give a few hours of their time each week to be a friend to a boy who has no man in his life. Any person willing to help with a gift of time or money may get further information from Mr. Gasper, 2 Knowles Crescent. Aurora. 727-9975 The best bird of the day was undoubtedly the Dickcis- sel identified by Mrs. Elsie Kennedy and Miss Leitha Thomson at their feeding- sta=tion on Sugar Maple Lane, This outstanding find was also seen later by other birders. Robins, which were common on last year's census (78). were not recorded this year. Other birds present last year but not found by our census-takers were the Boreal Chickadee, Cedar Waxwing, Pine Siskin and Common Redpoll. Five spe- cies of gulls were identified at the Maple Dump, an indi- cation of its popularity as a foe-d source for birds in win- ter In order of abundance the complete count was as fol- lows: House Sparrow (1,724), Starling (1,206), Rock Dove (763), Tree Sparrow (667)., Black-capped Chickadee (582), Dark-eyed Junco (4426), American Goldfinch (391), Herring Gull (307), Snow Bunting (303), Mourning Dove (169), Evening Gros- beak (166), Ring-billed Gull (156), Blue Jay (155), Cardi- nal (86), Downy Woodpeck- er (69), Ring-necked Phea- sant (46), Red-tailed Hawk (42), White-breasted Nuth- atch (38), Mallard (35), Ame- rican Kestrel (31), Common Crow (29), Hairy Woodpeck- er (15), Song Sparrow (12), Rough-legged Hawk (8), Northern Shrike (8), Black Duck (6), White-winged Crossbill (6), Pileated Wood- pecker (5), Red Crossbill (5).

Going into the third tied 2-2, Legionnaire Ton-y Robin- son naissed the roof a further inch by scoring at 3.22. Sweâ€" den replied three minutes later with a goal from Cbnny Holmgren. And while Leâ€" gionnaire Bob Russell was serving a hooking penalty, Per H-arju capitalized to put the Stockholm squad ahead 4â€"3. The first period saw Le- gionn-a-ires‘ Berseth, McCul- lough and Vanlderwede awar- ded tripping penalties in ra- pild succession. Nevertheless, the fast skating home-town squad managed to outshoot Sweden. and the arena roof moved Skyward an inch when Rob,Wal1ingford scor- ed the first goal at 18.50. In «the second period. Rob came back for -an immediate encore after only one minute of play to put the Legion ahead 2-0. Sh-ontly thereafter, Swedish Centre Kaj Kramer got a booking penalty and while it looked possible for the Legion to dh-alk up an- other one; Left Winger Jan Carlsson got a breakwoy and scored for Sweden with a man short. At the 15.47 mark Carlsson scored again, much to the delight of an- other Left Winger, Inge Hammarstrom of the Toron- to Maple Leafs, who was ob- serving the game and clapâ€" ping with «a pen in «his hand. With less than four minu- tes to go in the game, Swe- den’s Kje-ll Lindgren re- ceived a hooking penalty and four second-s later all the lights on a, Gamble Side Road house must have lit up for Jeff Miller when 'he scored to tie the game for Canada. The longest day in the lives of Richmond ‘Hill supporters was then expe- rienced in the space of the remaining -three minutes. At 17.45, Legionnaire Ar- nold Vvand'e'rwede received a five minute penalty for butt-ending and this was cloâ€" sely followed by a tripping call on Brian Kellett. With less than a minute to go, five Swedish raiders roared around three Legion Ide- fencemen at the Legion net. International 'hockey rules allow that icing of the puck is permitted while under peâ€" nalty, and this advantage was fully utilized by coach Pete Artemchuk. Indeed, if Sweedish Coach Verner Pers- son. had taken out goalie Thomas Kron'berg, the long, straight drives of Messrs. Robinson, Gallaugther and Minor Might have tipped the scale. The roof of the local ice- palace is now resting peace- fully following its first enâ€" counter with truly interna- tional hockey, and luckily for those unfortunates who missed the game, it will be televised January 19 at 3 pm. on CITY-TV, Channel 79, courtesy of local Broadcaster Ken Foss.

The Legion Midgets col- lectively told this reporter that the Swedes were the strongest team they have come up against this season. Rob Wailingford. however, was not so sure. “I think Newmarket Midgets could match them." He said. ‘ Don- Parnell, Color Guard member and 'bus driver who has chauffeured around some valuable material in his time, was unable to parade the colors alongside his com- rades at the arena during the event because of a 10 minute interference penalby lhanded out by the local constabula- by. “You can't park here," was the command. “Move it". Our honorable comrade (who was recently knighted be- cause of his endurance), du- ly obeyed, and took up lodg- in-gs for his Legion bus else- where. Parking space at the town park being at a premium on such occasions; Fire hazards and accident proneness being of equal importance, “Craw- ford's Crusaders" were no doubt performing an unplea- sant duty, because they also redirected a 1973 Cadillac and numerous other vehicles to points across the ‘globe. ashd-es This ‘type of opinion was also shared- by the Soviet ta-bloi‘d. “Pnavda” in 1972 following the CanadarRussia Series, Many Russians are still of the opinion that they “allowed" Team Canada to win in order to be good hosts. Take your opinion from there, and remember the name of ¢he game. Unfortunately the law re- cognize no favorites â€" or should the wond be fortuna- tely? If it's :any consolation to Sir Donald. Maple Lea-f Defencem-an Borje Salming also missed panade at bugle call. Some fans were of the opinion that the Swedes let up on Richmond Hill in or- der to be good guests. Other- wise Uhe Swedes would have taken it. Basis for this belief was the fact that in their previous game at Oshawa, December 27 Sweden went into the third period leading 5-1 and “allowed" three goals to Oshawa before win- ning 5â€"4.
