An interesting parallel was rawn recently when some egion members learned that hogging the puck was not re- stricted to ten year-olds. The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 375 is an organiza- tion which provides funds for worthwhile community pro- jects through the voluntary services of some of its mem- bers. By the sweat of the brow, ladies and gentlemen members alike. have been known to raise bounties far in excess of basic necessities. They work as a team, these philanthropists, and their only~ reward, on occasion, is knowing that their invest- ment is recognized. For a decade now, mem- bers of Branch 375 have sponsored a midget hockey team. In 1964, Sandy Dun- lop then the president of the Richmond Hill Minor Hockey Association; and Earl Methe then the manager of the OMHA Midget Team. ap- proached the Legion execu- tive for a commitment of $500 per yearâ€"and the Legion workers came through.

New Richmond Hill Resident Has Endless Trouble With Telephone Service, Post Office, Government legion Reports Branch 375, Royal Canadian Legion By Eric Chapman Eleven days later, Legion philanthropists were astound- ed to read in their local "Liberal" that their time honored team had finally surfaced by winning six straight games and a cham- pionship of sorts.

Alas, there were no flags flying at Legion headquarters when the victors returned because not a soul at the branch had one iota of an idea of whether the team was still playing in Drummond- ville or Brownsville, Brook- lyn.

If he wishes a telephone number in downtown Rich- mond Hill not listed in the telephone book he has to dial Taking nothing away from the 16-year-old youngsters, who after all are what the Legion members sweat for.

But if Legion members will there- fore be quite in order when they question at the next branch general meeting whether the continued sponm sorship of a minor hockey} team is in the best interests of the branch. Such ques- tions might also include ob- jection to the fact that while playing on ice the Legion- sponsored team no longer wear sweaters representative of the Canadian Legion, but rather those of the Richmond Hill Rams. As some Legion members have recently gen- teer asked. “Who in the hell are the Richmond Hill Rams‘” While a ten year-old boy can be forgiven for scoring nothing but goals to satisfy an egoâ€"there is nothing conâ€" tained in the Royal Canadian Legion Charter that condones or excuses immature adult ‘behaviour by ignoring the ‘work of the whole team. Richmond Hill has its own hydro and this area has been in Richmond Hill for three years.

Commenting on statistics released recently by the Minis- try of Health, Martin said. “The public is more aware today than ever before of the consequences of non-treatment of venereal disases and is co-operating in helping bring them under con- trol." Reported cases of venereal diseases continued to increase in Ontario during 1973, but at a lower rate than in 1972. There were 15,653 such cases in 1973, up 3.75 percent over the 1972 total of 15,087, whereas the in- crease in 1972 was 57.5 percent over 1971.
