GOOD NEWS Last week Etobicoke Council voted in the new Pine. Point Arena, despite an additional outset of $30,000 over the original estimate. |____ _ _ When one considers that Etobicoke plans to pump another 25,000 people into the Rexdale â€" Thistletown area within two years time, they really had no choice. Besides, you don‘t scrap a quarter million dollar proâ€" ject for a few palty thousands. ~ w I t 10 nu 4rt LL_isat wae se PA 0 d ie hecliticn l bunatit sbvids. d hndndbminbaab lt The decision to go ahead with the project was esâ€" pecially good news to the executive of the Rexdale Laâ€" crosse League, who next year may be able to plan a full season schedule. Drawing in lads from as far away as Weston and Woodbridge, this league is forced to clip its schedule to midâ€"August in order to play rainedâ€"out games before playoff time. Travelling through this province, & local tourist passâ€" es countless small communities. Did you ever notice how many have a structure of some type, usually along the lines of an arena, which bears the sign "Community Centre"? There are very few towns without one. Even rural communities, consisting of a crossroads generally referred to as "the four corners", follow suite. There will be a church for worship, a general store and post office for provisions and communication, a gasoline station to serve this mechanized age, AND A COMMUNITY CENTRE FOR THE KIDS. We can take a lesson from these people who banded together and did something about it. One feels thorâ€" oughly ashamed when he must admit that he lives in an area boasting 6,000 population without proper facilâ€" ities for the youngsters. Pine Point Arena is just the first step in the right direction. FIRST STEP GENESIS, EXODUS The best example of a community project that we have ever seen is Lions Lakeshore Memorial Arena in New Toronto. With two wellâ€"appointed banquet rooms serving the finest meals to be had in the city and a fullâ€" sized ice surface second to none in Ontario, the buildâ€" ing is a credit to the people of the three Lakeshore communities. Add to this Gus Ryder‘s pet project, Lakeshore Pool, and it is easy to see why so many people made southern Etobicoke their home. hm c 2oo d ie i Examine the reason that prompted you and your neighbour to leave the city for the suburbs and you will find with very few exceptions that it was to proâ€" vide your children with good schooling and a safe place to play. And organized play, such as minor sports, is one of the most important teachers in helping the youngsters develop a sense of getting along with the rest of the world. .“;I“hve‘ ‘z;‘r“eaw}_)c');sts excellent housing. We have the best of schools for our children. It is now up to you and me to see that adequate recreational facilities keep pace with the growth of our town. BON VOYAGE _ phins -Eéxdavle.-l-a-c;osse lost three stalwarts when the Wilson family moved to London, Ontario last week. Bob Wilson was an active member of the League executive, while sons Jimmy and Sandy were outâ€" standing athletes taking a very active part in the local sports scene. Sandy, who captured scoring honours last year in the peewee division and was well on his way to his second crowh. will be returning for playoff action. This corner joins with the entire community in wishing the Wilsons well in their new home. Although there is not an active lacrosse league in London at the present time, we will hazard a guess that Bob and his two lads will have things popping before another season is out.

Bantams were not so fortunâ€" ate when they ran headâ€"on into North York‘s starry centre Lawâ€" son, who produced all five goals for the visiting club to edge the local lads 5â€"3. The â€" exhibition â€" series . was among the first active compeâ€" tition meets experienced by the boys from York Mills, and they made an excellent showing for their short time in uniform. Ray Hosick earned his stripes with a fiveâ€"goal effort in the atom opener, while Greg Barâ€" ratt topped peewees having a four goal night. Most spectators were quite surprised to learn that the York Mills area had an active lacrosâ€" se club. It proves one thing â€" the game of lacrosse, so popuâ€" lar in western metro, is graduâ€" ally _ moving _ eastward. The North York School hopes to have an active house league running next year. ATOM Ray Hosick sparked his atom club to a 10â€"1 win in the opener, netting five big markers to proâ€" vide half the Rexdale scoring effort. Rexdale 10 North York Another pair of crack marksâ€" men were Roger Kingston and Tony Nixon, who shared four Rexdale goals. Eric Tribe addâ€" ed a single for the winners. Graham Wise was the only opâ€" ponent to break the Rexdale deâ€" fense, netting North York‘s lone tally of the game. The entire contest featured clean fast play, and both clubs were applauded by the fans at the final bell.

Several times reâ€" cently I have learned with plea: sure that quite a few ladies are turning to my column each week to see what I have to say. It is apparent that many of the fairer sex are doing more than just reading about life in the great outdoors, â€" a fact which is eviâ€" dent at Toronto‘s annual Sportsâ€" man‘s Show. The ladies have made a good showing in the outâ€" door sports such as bait casting, archery, rifle competition, etc. Many skeet and trapâ€"shooting clubs have real female champâ€" ions in their midst. As a matter of fact, some years ago, I was a member of a deer hunting party which included two lady hunters, “They sat on deer trails miles \back in the bush even though the temperature was well below freezing. Murie! Brock, a famous lady guide and hunter, in the North Bay District, shoots them and helps cary them out the same as any man. Lillian Hill, helps run a rustic fishing and hunting camp on Tilden Lake and she often joins hunting parties on the trails. Last fall I told about tW0 | perm young ladies, Vi Thresher and | proy; Clare.Lamont, of Alderwood @nd | apere Mimico respectively.

Service, President of the Humber Highland Curling Club, announced today that the west end club would expand to\ 16 sheets of payâ€"asâ€"youâ€"play ice in time for the start of the comâ€" ing curling season. He cited the unprecedented . growth in â€" the popularity of curling as reason for the expansion, noting in parâ€" ticular the enthusiastic response of West Toronto curlers to the club when it first opened last ‘ year. E The new addition will retain‘ \the same design features that \distinguished the club when it | was built in 1961.. The floating concrete slab that provided such a good foundation for the curlâ€" ing ice and also permitted covâ€" ered _ parking _ facilities _ will ‘ again be the focal point of conâ€" !struction. and will make Humâ€" ‘bcr Highland the first club in | Metro to feature 16 sheets of "slab" ice. Earle Hushagen, Manager of \the club, and one of the city‘s / top curlers, is high in his praise of the concrete slab feature. |‘"‘There‘s no doubt in my mind‘ '{he said, "that our ice was / among the finest in the area last year, and it was due mainly to / the method of construction. In / addition, we have ordered a new _ specially â€" designed _ ice maintenance machine that will keep the ice clean and in out standing condition for topâ€"notch curling."
