Whitby 'Dunnies' to be revived in TV ·special The roar, "Go Dun- nies Go" will ring from coast to coast once more on September 2nd. The battle-cry that set Whit- by, then Canada, then the world on it's ear will be revived in a half- hour special program on the CTV television net- work. With the burgeon- ing interest in Team Canada and the immin- ent series between Can- ada and the Soviet Un- ion, CTV is reviving the Whitby Dunlops year of glory-1958 - the year when the Cinderella team, the rag-tag rem- nants of the old Osh- awaGenerals rolled over all the opposition to put Canada decisivly in Ist place in world hockey. The idea for the TV program came from Whitby Councillor Bob Attersley, the starry for- ward of the Dunlops. He provided film of the 1958 series to CTV Sports Director Johnny Esaw, for use in a Spor- ts beat program. Esaw was so impressed by the film that he decided to produce a half hour special program around the film. The special will be aired at 5 p.m. Saturday, September 2 - a special edition of CTV's Wide World of Sport. The program will be seen in Whitby over Channel 9. For the peo- ple who cheered the Dunnies on to Oslo, the program will be vintage nostalgia. For those who don't recall Whitby's: halcyon days of hockey it will be a chance to see a callow councillor Bob Attersley playing shoulder to shoul- der with a youth- ful Harry Sinden - the man who hopes to lead Canada to hockey vic- tory against the Sov- iets next month.

The reason for the mer- AUGUST 24 1972 0The>ire Complex ger outlined at a Monday night preliminary meeting was described as a co- ordination of al efforts toward a comprehensive sports-recreation facility - "for the people of Whit- by - by the people of Whitby." It was noted by rep- resentatives of the ser- vice clubs at the meet- ing that far superior fac- the FREE HOME DELIVERY best" Whitby was a noisy centre of excitement Mon- day night with the arrival of the Andrew Antenna Pee Wee Lacrosse All Stars who brought home to Whitby nothing less than the coveted gold medals awarded for the National Pee Wee "B" Champion- ship. The boys, some of them sporting Calgary cow- boy hats, arrived at Toronto Airport 9:50 p.m. to be greeted by a boisterous cluster of waiting parents and members of the news media. They were then taken to the Brock Street Firehall and chauffeured through the streets of Whitby in a sirening fire en- gine with a police and fan escort. Still later the boys were the delighted guests of town fathers and were seated in the mayor's and councillor's chairs at town hall for a late night snack. The championship which took place in Calgary, Alberta from August 16th to 20th, won dominion- wide fame for the young Whitby sports stars, and even though they were at times mistakenly referred to as 'Whitby Saints', they were even the topic of Channel 9 Pat Marsden's sportscast. After the first game, Whitby Free Press pho- tographer, Bill Stannett, received a telephone call from Calgary within minutes of the game's ending bearing news that Whitby had de- feated Prince George, British Columbia with a convincing 17-8. Whitby pitted lacrosse wit next with Manitoba, coming .out on, top once again and making the news scene with a triumphant 12-5. ÇJAf STORY CONTINUES WITH PHOTOS INSIDE Page 10. - DESIGN BY KEN W.

It was also generally recognized by those pre- sent that an ice rink and swimming pool were of prime importance at this time, and construction For of these facilities would be foremost with the possibility of a gymnas- ium for a physical ed- ucation centre; tennis courts and squash fac- ilities, with the added possibility of construc- tion of a banquet hall to hold five hundred or more people at one end of the proposed ice rink.
