t thf stcurtvru tkffiumf tbunitr dtnmbtt 3 1959 sports a fink project on tuesday night we paid our first visit to the restyled winter home of the unionville jets we were very much impressed with the marked improvement in the arena the entrance has been completely rebuilt and lesshardy fans may watch a hockey match from the glassedin interior of the new section the oncecramped ice surface has been lengthened by ten feet and plans are already underway to widen the building the cobweb network of steel tressles still hovers only a few feet above the players heads but this too may be eliminated when the second stage of the building project is completed in spite of the comforts now available to todays warm blooded hockey fans we were indeed surprised at the rather small crowd that was in attendance a large percentage was local folk from stouffville and district the frigid tempera ture has long been an excuse offered by spectators as an ex planation of the fanfamine that has plagued many teams in the area the comfortable quarters as now provided at union ville has apparently had little effect on the tvloving public they are still loathe to support their local team if fans will not support jr b calibre clubs then what class of hockey will they support some b players are only a skate stride out of jr a which is regarded as almost tops in hockey entertainment and still there are dozens of vacant seats the unionville management is to be commnded for its retention of highcalibre oha hockey at a time when the operation of such an organization is a constant drain on the promoters pocketbooks pickering recreation association flops near 1000 unspent the onceflourishing picker ing township recreation asso ciation has literally passed out of useful existence according to

of 52500 for the association to date 950 has npt been spent the township council has been most generous with their grants but the interest among individ ual committee members has been poor continued
