Acton Minor Softball Associations annual meeting in the library next Tuesday is an invitation from Tn County Minor Softball Association The TriCounty loop seems to be looking for teams because it invited Acton to the Tn- Countys annual meeting at to see if the town would be interested in entering some teams According to Ed Wood who with Pop Main attended last weeks meeting the group even considered a constitutional amendment which would permit a town of Actons size to enter If Acton has two teams entered into the Halton League its conceivable that one of them could play against TriCounty teams and keep the diamonds at Prospect Park full throughout the summer From time to time since the coming of regional government some local politicians have advocated this or that as a bond to cement the two built up areas and the countryside under the name Halton Hills Recently theres been a move from the south in the name of town unity for contributions to renovate Georgetowns first arena Fat chance Another attempt to draw the three parts together stemmed from confusion of street names Again the political types holding the unity banner wanted to rename some familiar roads so that be one Queen Street Mill Street or Main Street These feeble attempts met much less suc cess in pulling people together in North Halton than the vocal and sometimes angry response those same politicians got to their proposed municipal complex for the seventh line That really got folks together this summer Butcher Whats next Soon after the December election there may be some politicians wholl call again in the name of town unity for one instead of two Junior B hockey teams in Halton Hills Theyll note with satisfaction that some butchers bakers and candlestick makers use Halton Hills with their names Other merchants cling still to the old fashioned and obviously obsolete titles of Acton this Georgetown that or Esquesing something else To back up the contention that the region is here to stay the politicians will point out that there s Halton Regional Police instead of OPP or Georgetown police To stress the new town theyll add that its now Halton Hills Fire Fighters instead of Acton Fire Fighters So they 11 zing lets have the Hills Hotsies instead of Acton Sabres and Geoigetown Gem in is The rhetoric would follow Together the Sabres and Gems would equal the solid Junior B Halton Hills Hotsies The will be the cream of the crop The best of both junior clubs fused into one mighty team match the best from the larger southern centres such as Burlington Dixie Streetsville Oakville Brampton and Milton So what if such combining of teams isnt what they did in Metro Toronto in the early 50s Halton Hills Hotsies would be a first Excess players from the two former teams would fill in the midget and juvenile teams and perhaps supply the Hotsies with reinforcements Hotsies would also have something from the Ontario Hockey Association going for them The recommends population limits for certain teams The Junior B category is the lowest for towns over Acton barely qualifies at about 7500 Georgetown has around Hotsies might also prove to be a money saver for Halton Hills Instead of fixing up the older Georgetown arena some of Georgetowns pardon southern Halton Hills ice sports could come north with the junior team Nothing like coercing the folks into a little sight seeing in their own town The Hotsies would be based northern or uptown Halton Hills while the former Georgetown Raiders an intermediate team would remain downtown Imagine if you can the Hotsies of the Town of Halton Hills playing in the Ontario Winter Games or it out in an All- Ontario finals Arent the Hotsies likely to mute Halton Hills faster than anything else the politicians will ask A stroke of utter genius might prompt them to request heraldry expert Dorothy Stone to permit Hills elegant badge to be sewn onto the Hotsies sweaters Go Hotsies go
