r 4 the acton free press wednesday april 19 1967 r sports spot by john m c n a b b gerry ingtla georgetown junior raider coach and popu lar former defenceman for the acton tanners has come up with a suggestion which may brighten the gloomy hockey future for georgetown and milton both towns were at one time potent powers in inter mediate hockey circles both have been converted to junior c products in recent years where they have been mildly successful and now both are looking ahead and trying to probe the future for a solution which will put them back on top with the drop in the junior age limit and losses for other reasons the raiders will be left with about a half a dozen experienced juniors and miltons loss will be more serious yet neither are enthusiastic about the quantity or quality of the immediately available new talent and both are restrained by very limited import restrictions gerry inglis proposes that the two north halton towns relinquish all their past rivalry and unite their junior graduates to form an intermediate team players have been graduating from the junior ranks for several seasons now with no where to go and there is certainly more than enough good eligible players in the two communities to form an intermediate club he said those with interest in miltons hockey are interested it just might work says milton merchant manager alan parton there would be a lot of talking and thinking necessary before anything definite could be worked out but i think the sugges tion merits consideration acton of course would get the first pick of the junior refugees and could throw the kibosh on the whole idea leaving the two towns in exactly the same predicament they started with toronto maple leaf fans will be using the see i told ya so cliche after they copped the semifinal series with chicago last night with a 31 score brian conachers first two goals ever scored against the hawks set the pace for the leafs as they took the series by a 42 margin

scoring title staff photo sports pdgl meet action formed stls first executive selected many of the avid golfers from around the district ventur ed out to their favorite golf course last weekend to find that the greens were still a little too damp to play on and that they themselves were definitely out of shape golf is another game with a confused history but not too confused some historians who belong to the strange clan which always has opposed crediting the moderns or comparative mod erns with originating anvthing hazard the guess that shepherds in a time long before the christian era may have indulged in a game of golf they point to the curved sticks and intimate that the sheep tenders could have used them to hit pebbles perhaps they did but any driving that took place was just for distance and did not keep with the rules laid down for the game of golf today long after it became definitely established that the scotch invented the game of golf as it is played now the usual thing happened a historian disputed what was evident he observed a drawing of a hollander leaning against a stick of certain slimness with a knob at the end and immediately offered the conclusion that the dutch pioneered the game insisting the stick was a golf club called a driver in later eras bevond the drawing there never was anything to support a claim that the dutch had played at golf before the scotch in fact neither the dutch of later centuries nor those of today have shown interest in the game professionally speaking where as golf has plaved a very conspicuous role in the history of scotland for manv centuries so now you know where rev andy mckenzie picked up all his tips on the game a group of young people have formed an organization whose purpose is to provide social activities for the young set and to do something for the betterment of the commun ity there were many names sug gested for the group such as the young set our gener ation and club silhouette but it was felt that project action best signified the aim of the organization thus far the organization has been very successful al though it has only been in ex istence for four weeks a dance with tom and ian and the soul set was presented at the arena on april 7 which proved financially successful on april 15 project action arranged to have some swing ers go to oshawa to a 12 band and 12 hour dance in cluding the

among the members that this was an especially good way to use the funds in this the cen tennial year project action wants to pre sent itself as a responsible group of young people who will take it on themselves to provide their own entertain ment and do something for the town in which they live they felt that many other such groups that may have been formed in past years dis regarded the latter
