Committee Now Hockeys En the Hole Main St N Dear Sir This letter is In regards to the Canadian Legion Branch 120 dropping sponsorship of Saturday Morning Hockey It was my opinion when we first got the Georgetown Recreation Committee that It was to help maintain and im prove recreation for young as well as old It seems that so for all It has accomplished for hockey in Georgetown is to cost them more money this year and apparently more next year It is too bad that all we seem to think of is the almighty dollar Lets take a look around Halton County and see how much these other towns and city put into minor sports You have not got too much for young people now are we trying to make less You seem to have forgotten what the Legion has accomplished In seventeen years of operating Legion hockey Think of the money you have saved put It against the increase you are asking and I think you will hang your heads in shame It seems very odd that in seventeen years we seemed to move along not too bad Now we have a Recreation Committee and all of a sudden were away In the hole We In Georgetown are for better sports for our young people not more expensive sports man it you lor your time and paper
