Noticing Richmond Hill colleague Brian Bullock's re- marls about the whites only rule at his club made me feel proud (and smug) that at Thornhill Tennis Club we have an enlightened and wise executive (to which I happen to belong!) who changed our “whites only” rule to “recog- nized tennis wear" at the be- ginning of the season. Nobody turns up in purple baseball shirts or tartan shorts but we do see some smartly turned out members in nice pastel shades of yellow, blue and green which, in my opinion, does nothing to detract from the dignity of the game and makes for a more relaxed membership as a result. Perhaps, Brian, you should look into banning metal rac- quets next. after all, they are a relatively recent innovation and to protect the morals of young Richmond Hill mem- bers perhaps mixed doubles between consenting adults should be investigated! I have it on authority from a Rich- mond Hill member that Rich- mond Hill wives don't know Youth made a significant contribution. They were most concerned by the thought of hunger throughout the world, so much so that they set to work at once and collected $3,000 as a gift to world need. Because of this desire to help, this particular need Thornhill Bantam Flames, sponsored by Travelways, continued to play winning ball is their league games, chalking up four consecutive victories to remain in first place in the Lakeshore Bau- tam League. The Flames crushed Beav- erton, 36 - 7 and 26 - 4. then downed Uxbridge 9- 2 and dumped Keswick 7 â€"2. Thornhill Bantam And Midget Girls Are Still In First Place nit}; theme of the confer- ence was “It is time for vis- ion." Nancy Schneider knocked a homerun for Thomhill in the first Beaverton game while Janice Boss and Liz Seeley had four hits apiece. Darlene Harrison was the winning pitcher. getting her first win of the year. Eastern Canada had 20 del- egates, and 10 laymen. The Centre area and the Western were also represented. The number was augmented by a youth section, called the Con- vos Youth age 15 to 19. and 12 attended from this re- gion. Their fares were sub- sidized but they also had to contribute a good deal them- selves. In the second Beaverton contest. Deb Howorth fanned 12 batters to record the win. Karen Skinner. Sue O'Con- nell and Denise Barclay each had five hits in five trips to the plate. A triple by Michele Bow- ers with bases loaded gave Thornhill all the runs they needed in their first inning to beat Uxbridge 9-2. O’Connell had four hits, including a homerun, to lead the Flames to victory. Howorth struck out 10 to record the win.

Grand Ravine fell next, by a score of 17-1. Kelly Mac- Innis picked up the win in a game called after 5 innings because of rain. BEAT DON VICTORIA Don Victoria were the next victims as the Flames put to- gether an outstanding team effort to dump their older opponents 26-5. O'Connell was the winning pitcher in this game. striking out six batters. Janice Boss played her best game of the year, smacking five hits for Thorn- hill. Lauren MacInnis. Debbie Howorth and Michele Bow- ers each contributed four hits to the potent Thornhill at- tack. by believing in the Lutheran Denomination. in the local church, throughout Christen- dom. “Basic in baptism into the church. the sign which means recognition that God had adopted the believer into his love; that he is accepted here and now, to grow to his potential as‘a child of God." “It is a time for vision in regard to people as children of God. Why are they here? How are they related to each other? " Thornhill 15 STRIKEOUT GAME Finally, Glenfield fell vic- tim to the onrushing Flames who, because the Streakers were playing elsewhere, had to take on an older team alone. Michele Bowers smash- ed two homeruns to lead Thornhill to an easy 14-8 vic- tory. Liz Seeley, Denise Bar- clay and Lynda Veijola each had three hits for the Flames. Sue O’Connell was the win- ning pitcher as She and Deb Howorth combined to hurl a fantastic 15 strikeouts. Thornhill has clinched first place in the North York Mid- get League and have received a bye into the playoff finals. BURLINGTON TOURNEY On Saturday the Flames took part in the Burlington Bantam Tournament, and reached the championship final before being elimin- ated. _-_r- Mrs. Weigle was associated with the discussions at the convention, on “theological affirmations." What is meant Thomhill beat Eringate 11-5 in their first game to advance to the championship series. A seven-run outburst in the last inning carried the locals to victory behind the pitching of Deb Howorth who fanned five batters. O‘Conn- ell smashed a' grand slam homerun to put the game on ice dot Thomhill. Theresa Bach played a fine game, knocking out three hits for the local lasses. received consideration espec- ially in the light of Western affluence and the Christian’s responsibility. Outâ€"of this discussion grew Stephen was the chair- man of the program he ope- rated. The carnival collected $100, give or take a few bucks, for the cause. This event took place on Tuesday of last week. Among the attractions the estimated 50 to 60 visitors enjoyed, were refreshments. a book sale, carnival games and donation pool and two clowns . Along with Stephen, in this venture, were Minda Bow- man. Bailey Abrams, Harry An unexpectedly success- ful carnival was staged by Stephen Bowman, aged ll, of 11 Old English Lane, with the aid of some of his rela- tives and friends and a car- nival kit supplied by the Muscular Dystrophy Associ- ation. The funds raised through such neighborhood carnivals are turned over to the Mus- cular Dystrophy Association to aid in bringing about an end to this child-killing disease.

BANTAMS Crown Life maintained its winning form, by over- whelming Lewis & Lewis Neighborhood Notes Next Thornhill took on a very tough team from Samia and emerged with a hard fought 8-2 victory. Four times Sarnia had Ibases loaded, but each time pitcher Howorth came up with an important Strikeout. O’Connell again knocked a homerun as Thorn- hill piled up an early 6-2 lead and then played excellent de- fensive ball to shut out Sarn- ia over the final four inn- ings. The Ecumenical Vacation school which was held at Christ the King Lutheran Church was most satisfactory. BY JOYCE SANDHAM PEEWEES Mr. Weigle found the ex- periences of worship, study, and the discussion most meaningful. The Flames faced the host Burlington Club in the final game in what should have been their easiest contest of the day. However. Burlington showed they wanted to win much more than Thomhill and they emerged with an 8-4 victory and the championship. Thomhill made five errors in the game and were only able to come up with two hits over the seven innings.

Neighborhood Notes A reader has requested that I say something about the annoying noise on Bay- ‘view Fairways. During these hot summer nights, many people would like to enjoy a quiet evening outside relax- ing. The reader holds that many are disturbed 'by the speeding cars and motor- cycles, going up ‘Bayview Fairways. To tell the drivers to go slower may not be a fair solu- tion. Many of my greaseball friends enjoy travelling fast. My own car contains dual ‘Thrush’. I put them on for a reason, which is, they sound good to me and they help my car’s performance. As one can see I am not in total agreement. I do re- quest drivers be more ‘quiet' after midnight, if indeed noisy after-midnight drivers do exist. I am glad that such a re- quest was made, because it shows an interest in the community. I would be inter- ested in hearing whether you agree or disagree with me. I‘ll let you know next week how things turn out. in North Thomhill invited their parents to a real fun evening, a masquarade ball.
