What‘s The Score" ' by "TVUG" WILSON ,Mdhbllmhmtmd\flu'on SUMMER HERE BY 1967; James Trimbee, Florist, is a very busy man these days. Quite apart from being a Town Councillor, Chairman of the Finance Committee, President of the Lions Club of Weston and a member of dozens of other committees, boards and commissions â€" he is also the Chairman of the Centennial Committee for Weston and is heir to all the headaches, slings and arrows, brickbats and back wallops that this appointment implies. Summoned by the four county Conference of Centennial Comâ€" mittees to attend a one day conference at Newmarket last Wedâ€" nesday week â€" Sir James, in company with Mrs. T. E. Dougherty, member extraordinary of the Imperial Order of the Daughters of the Empire, the Senior Citizens Club of Weston and various other less important organizations â€" and accompanied by the Director of Recreation for Weston â€" travelled to Newmarket. to see and hear, what these Nabobs from the Federal and Provincial levels of govermment could tell us about Canada‘s forthcoming 100th birthday in 1967. We were shown and told about 67 ideas for ‘67. The value of the Centennial insofar as tourism is concerned. The part comâ€" munities can play in observing Our Birthday. Case histories of Centennial Celebrations in other communities and what Norwich, England, did to clean up a scruffy. old street â€" yet! Since ‘Community Celebration‘ is listed as an offictal recreaâ€" tion function â€" we were all ears and our IBM memory tapes were clicking in high gear â€" to bring back gems of wisdom for the ben efit of Weston and its people. The Conference Note was high and clear â€" that this was to be Canada‘s 100th Birthday â€" that we should regard each and every day, week and month of 1967, as birthday time. That we should start off with a bang at 0001 hours on January 1, 1967 and live it up until the closing moments of December 3lst., 1967. That we should let off fireworks on occasions other than May 24, etc. That we should develop July 1 as much as May 24 â€" even more. Perhaps this could end in one big holiday starting July 1st in Canada and ending om July 4 in the ‘Excited‘ States of America â€" all with fireworks, yet‘ Grandmas and other elderly types were exhorted to visit the attic and revive dresses and costumes of that era. Groups of senior citizens and ladies‘ guilds are urged to make costumes for themselves and daughters; men to grow beards; old means of transportation oiled and made serviceable; houses to be painted; backyards cleaned up; store fronts redesigned; bake sales, giant elambakes, barbecues and turkey shoots; winter carnivals, ice sculpture, sleigh rides and dog teams. School children to make period costumes and act out one act plays. Ethnic groups (that‘s you and me Jock!) to produce folk dances, observe native feast days and form choral and dance groups. Perhaps Branch 213 of the local Royal Canadian Legion could find out what sort of uniforms the Ist Americans wore, the muskets they used and accounterments worn and equip a Colour Guard and Party in this uniform, not only for the Centennial, but for all other occasions, to honour the Rangers and remind ourselves of our rich history. ‘The keynote of the conference was that this is Canada‘s Birthday and that we should have a party â€" a big one. Many communities have not yet appointed a Centennial Committee. Centennial projects, such as buildings, recreation centres, zooâ€" logical gardens, athletic fields and the like â€" must be approved before August 1 this year or no grant will be given. This grant is one dollar per head of population, from the Federal Governâ€" ment â€" the same from the Provincial Government and must be matched by the local Municipal Government â€" providing that the plan has been approved by the governments â€" deadline August 1, future. This means that approximately $36,000 could be made availâ€" able for a project in Weston. The conference conveners warned against unwise planning â€" rushing to build ‘anything‘ just to get the money. Whatever is built, created, or designed, must serve as a continuing reminder of Canada‘s past and her hopes for the So, my little ones, let us hope for a nice, big birthday present â€" but let us be sure to have a real swinging party â€" every day, every week and every month of 1967. To be sure that Weston does have a real party, regardless of whether we build something or not â€" the Town Fathers have apâ€" pointed a Centennial Committee, with Councillor James Trimbee as Chairman. A subâ€"committee, with John A. Watson as Chairman, has already laid plans for a community celebration plus. What‘s more, we‘re going to rehearse the party on May 24 of this yvear â€" fireworks and everything â€" then have a dress rehearsal in 1966. so that Weston, for sure, will have a party, a ball, a riot, long to be remembered. What can you do to help make this party a success? We want your help and your suggestions now. If you think you can‘t do very much and that the little you can do is of no value, think on these things! Please think of what you‘d like to see done â€" and what sqrt of party you‘d like to help with and attend. Ask your club, group, class, association, lodge, troop, pack, board, commission,. commitâ€" tee, guild, union or flock, what they plan to do for the Centennial. Make suggestions yourself. Creation is not possible without conâ€" flict â€" so start conflicting. Don‘t leave it to "they‘", there‘s no such creature. This is a ‘you and me‘ situation â€" what are WE going to do about it? Each month, representatives of the Lions Club of Weston, Neighbourhood Playground Committees. the Kiwanis Club of Wes ton, the Royal Canadian Legion, the Weston Area Swimming Poc. the Weston Businessmen‘s Association, the Local Council of Women, the Weston Town Council and the Weston Recreation Commission, meet to plan a party for vou. We‘ve room for you or your organization. We need all the help we can get. This is your town and we are offering you the opportunity to help make it a better town to live in â€" and have your being. The final note of the Centennial Committee Conference | at Newmarket was this . . . We were assured by representatives of the senior governments that â€" Summer would be here by 1967. So let‘s put up with what we‘ve got now and look forward to enjoyâ€" ing the Summer of Canada‘s Birthday in 1967.

The team won high praise for their sportsmanship and hockey ability as they put on one of the finest games of the Tournaâ€" ment on Thursday. After trailâ€" ing two to nothing they fought back to tie the boys from Ag: incourt and after twenty minâ€" utes of overtime with the score still tied each team selected three players to take alternate penalty shots. Gary Buck was the Weston hero as he scored on the second shot. Jack Rhodes in goal for Weston was able to kick out the Agincourt attempts and played an outstanding game throughout. Little N.M.L.

LEAGUE TROPHY WINNERS Hits; right Throws; right Born: Oct. 11, 1949 Lives; 55 East Drive Ave Height: 5ft 11in. Weight; 170 lbs. Age; 15 years. Dick is one of the many fine rookies moving up from the bantam division this year. In a very strong bantam league last year, where the pitching was very good and the batters havâ€" ing a hard time to collect hits, Dick had a very commendable average of .275. Combining his height and weight with a very strong throwing arm made Dick the best catcher in his league last year. This year we are counting on Dick‘s ability to absorb new information about his hitting and I think when he does he will become the finest catcher to come out of the Wes ton and Mt. Dennis area.
