SPORTS _ Page 12 â€" THE ADVERTISER â€" Thursday, June 6, After our rather unfruitful trip on the Severn Rivâ€" er at the opening of Pickerel season, the fishing crew were looking forward to the time when the water dropâ€" ped low enough to insure some success with the Trout in the Big East River. Last weekâ€"end was perfect in all respects. The water had dropped, the thermometer climbed and we packed enough grub to feed a small army and took off for points north. Let me inject here that it is no shame to take enough food to last for each meal of the stay. Optimâ€" ists who pack flour, eggs, butter and little else countâ€" ing on friendly fish to fill the frying pan often come home very hungry. as so many of us know. There were five in the party, Reg, Tommy, Bob and his big son Brian, angd yours truly. When we arâ€" rived in camp at a lonesome but moonlit 3:00 a.m., we found the lodge already occupied, but there turned out to be enough room for all so we piled into our sleepâ€" ing bags and grabbed forty winks. The attack came shortly after dawn. when we emâ€" erged into the early morning sunlight and quickly scampered back into the cabin for the Bug Repellant. Blackflies decended in swarms, and had the five of us in fits all day. But we didn‘t give up easily and after warding off the mosquito invasion Saturday night, churned back gaily to the favourite spot Sunday morning. The trip was not altogether unrewarding. We saw some of the beautiful wilderness that Bob had been raving about all winter, we.all caught fish and everyâ€" one left with a car full of blackflies and a wish to reâ€" The trip some of the raving about one left with turn soon. To those who may not be familiar with this native of Haliburton and points north, let me say that you are very fortunate. It is easy to see why this minute pest is called the most dangerous animal in the north, and has actually driven men out of their minds in a few short hours. Before travelling up be sure to obtain lots of reâ€" pellant. It will turn out to be the most valuable item in your pack. + Weston 1630A Wilson Ave. CH 6â€"2191 Crang Plaza Estate Funds Available For William D. Lyon, B.A., LL.B.

Although outhit by Dufferin Lions in Amesbury Park they came out on the long end of a 3 â€" 2 decision. Two nights later they shutâ€"out the Rangers Legion 4 â€" 0 in Smythe Park and vaulted into top spot undefeated. Murray Antrim, Ranâ€" gers‘ pitcher, allowed the En gravers only three hits but was charged with the loss. Antrim threw one down the pipe on an intentional walk to result in a doubleâ€" to centre field scoring Iwo runs. Canning poled out a long homerun for the winners. In other midget action Mt.

John Sharkey, OAKDALE HEIGHTS On Tuesday, May 28th the Oakâ€" dale Heights Ratepayers Assocâ€" iation held a yery interesting and informative meeting. Mr. John Booth was present as well as Mr. F. Keay, president of Glenfield Ratepayers . Associaâ€" tion, Mr. C. Martin, president of Glenfield Recreation Committee, Mrs. P. Martin, president of Glenfield Sports Committee and Mr. M. Campbell, who spoke on behalf of the 9th Downsview Scout and Cub Group, stressing of course their very urgent need of a cubmaster in this area. 1 was very surprised to hear some comments from people atâ€" tending the meeting who were wondering why Mr. Campbell came since most of our boys attend the Tth Downsview Scout and Cub Group. This may be so but 1. there are some boys atâ€" tending the 9th Downsview Group, 2. it is close to our area, 3. they are in urgent need of a leader for these boys and 4. where else should Mr. Campbell turn in need if not to his neighâ€" bours? I was under the impresâ€" sion that this is what scouting was supposed to teach the youngsters â€"â€" to help their fellow man in need and I feel that it is our responsibility to find a leadâ€" er for these boys regardless of colour, race, creed or scout[ boundaries. I Other items on the agenda were _ sidewalks â€" on _ Giltspur Drive, » crosswalk on Sheppard Avenue and the condition of vaâ€" cant land in our subdivision. As for the sidewalks, the petitions taken on the street show a majâ€" ority in favour of sidewalks. Mr. Screeton clearly outlined the reaâ€" sons why it is impossible to have the â€" sidewalks this year but stressed the need to petition now for next year as we will run into the same problem of having the township refuse due to the. budâ€" geting being done a year in adâ€" vance. As for the safety crosswalk| there was much debate as to | whether it should be at Magelâ€" lan and Sheppard or Min Ave~‘ nue and Sheppard, the former to | accommodate the â€" pedestrians leaving a bus, the latter to acâ€" commodate the children coming‘ to our school from the Spenvalâ€" ley district. Since no one knew whether crosswalks were availâ€" able on such a thoroughfare, the speed limit of which no one could agree on, it was decided to approach the Metro Police Safety Bureau for assessment of this problem and then action to remedy the situation. Speaking of the speed limits on Sheppard, this was a much deâ€" bated point. The highway traffic act explains that no person shall exceed 50 m.p.h. upon a highâ€" way not within a city, town, vilâ€" lage, police village or builtâ€"up area. There are signs stating 30 m.pâ€"h. begins at Seeley Drive but nothing is posted west from Seeley Drive until the west side of Jane Street along Sheppard. I have checked with Station 31 iand the official speed limit on Sheppard Avenue from Jane St. to Seeley Drive is 50 m.p.h. This stretch is considerably built up but until such time as signs are posted with a 30 m.p.h. speed limit, the speed limit is 50 m.p.h. As for the condition of vacant land in the subdivision, this is an outrageous sham. There are five locations of unsanitary conâ€" ditions in our area and the resiâ€" dents surrounding each location are just as much to blame as the owners of the vacant land. These matters should be brought to the attention of the Ratepayâ€" ers‘ _ Association _ immediately, not after one or two years of struggling _ with â€" various landâ€" owners and departments of the catching for Gibbs took a pitch â€" out and made a beautiful throw to second to cut off a threatened steal and rally by John Rainey‘s Goulding crew. Paramount Gasket pee wees were at their best in handing Glencairn Pharmacy a 4 â€" 2 loss. The Glencairn kids were not to be denied a win by outslugging the Legion 213 entry 11 â€" 6 in a Saturday morning game. THE MOLLY McGREGOR SCHOOL OF DANCING PRESENTS THEIR ANNUAL RECITAL FRIDAY, JUNE 7th at 8 p.m. To be held at Weston Collegiate and Vocational School William and Pine St. Oakdale Heights & Belmar Park Admission $1.00 Township. Your Ratepayers Asâ€" sociation is experienced in findâ€" tact and has the power to get brought to our attention are: 1. the land at the end of Turks Road where there is stagnant water infested with mosquitoes, buirushes ete. believed caused by contractor chenging elevation of land when the homes were built; 2. the backyards in the crescent of Kanarick Crescent which are unsodded and thereâ€" fore growing weeds, accumulatâ€" ing garbage etc. believed caused by the fact houses are rented and owner has failed to sod backs which does not encourage tenants to even look at the backâ€" yard; 3. the corner of Coquette and Giltspur which is a vacant lot covered with weeds, ruts of mud left by construction trucks two or three years ago, garbage strewn about etc., and all this is on an arterial entrance to our subdivision and does not enhance the scenic view of Oakdale Heights; 4. the field at the end of Thurrock which extends to the western corner of Buckland and Sheppard which is covered with weeds, mud etc. Some weeds here are noxious ones and must by law be removed; and 5. the vacant land at the midâ€" way mark on the north side of Thurrock Road. This is covered with weeds, bits of lumber from an old construction shack and is just another eyesore in the subâ€" division. t Most landowners ignore the warnings and notices of the weed control deadline and simply wait for the township to removewf.he weeds and charge them for reâ€" moval. This is what occurs when a landowner fails to reâ€" move weeds. The reason the landowner waits is because it is far more economical for him to pay the township to remove weeds than it is for him to hire equipment or people to do it. It is my goal to fight to have these landowners fined so heavily that they will get out there and pull weeds by hand if necessary. Food for my idea came from: two sources 1. the knowledge that the pollen count for our area has reached the highest in Metro and 2. the knowledge that these landowners infect us taxâ€" payers with everything from hay fever to battling dandelions and crabgrass yet they pay less tax on underdeveloped land than we do on land we take care of. The children at Calico DriveI Public School are on the move. Several senior classes enjoyed a trip to Niagara Falls, Ontario,| last Friday where they toured" many places of interest such as the Hydro Station, the Underâ€" ground View of the Falls, the Welland _ Canal System and! Brock‘s Monument on the battleâ€"| field at Queenston, Ontario. 'I'he‘ Junior classes had a trip to the Riverdale Zoo. I feel this type‘ of project is wonderful for the‘ children and in some cases is the only time some of the youngâ€" sters get to see any places of interest. I must add that it takes part of our teaching staff to organize such a trip and to keep so many youngsters in order a lot of extra patience on the while travelling, so I wish to exâ€" press the thanks of many parents to our wonderful teachers for all they have done to make these trips possible and pleasant for {our children.

BELMAR PARK A cofiple of weeks ago when I reported on the closing meeting of the Chalkfarm Drive Home and School Association 1 left out â€" some â€" of _ the â€" important highlights of the meeting such as the presentation of a fridge to the school by the Home and School Association.
