Knob Hill Defeats Markham Whitby Knob Hill Farins provincial Junior 'A' Hockey team defeated the Markham Waxers 4 to 1 Sunday night at Iroquois Park Arena. Whitby scored first at the 19:20 mark of the first peri- od on a shot from Rick Prien which beat Waxer goalie Jim Baxter on the stickside, with assists going to Don Nicholson and Ken Charka. Markham tied it up in the 2nd period on a play that saw Whitby's goalie Kim Crouch surrounded by op- posing players. Whitby took off after that and Jini Doignan assisted by Mike Pidgeon scored minutes later through the legs of Jim Bax- ter. The goalie was replaced by Markham but that did not stop Whitby from getting a short handed goal on a break- away by Rick Prien which he faked to Dan Hildebrand down on the ice and slid the puck in the net behind the sprawling net minder. In the third period it was Rick Prien getting a hat trick with a quick shot assisted by Don Nicholson and Ken Charka.

Free Press Photo by Mike Burgess Last Monday evening saw the last of "the litterbug's convention", when the scouts turned out and cleaned up all the newspaper left over from their paper drive. They did a good job, and the organizers are going to do all that they can to ensure that it won't happen again. Talking of the organizers, I think that. they should be offered a vote of thanks for their tireless efforts to provide leadership and activities for the young people in our area. We often tend to take them for granted,·but lets remember that without them the children would be without some very valuable organizations and lets face it, we haven't too many to offer the children as it is! And now the first Brooklin scouts are in need of a Scoutmaster. I'm sure that theie are plenty of capable people in the North Ward who could take on the job, but I guess that they either didn't know that it was vacant or they are hiding their talents in the hope that someone else will come forward. Well don't sit back and leave it to someone else (that's the guaranteed way to see the Ist Brooklin scouts disappear in to the glorious past).....instead call Mrs. Audrey Parker, 655-4523 and offer to take on a very worthwhile role in our community. I'm going to be optimistic (for a change) and look forward to introducing our new Scoutmaster in the Bylines in the nçxt week or two. Over to YOU.....and don't let me down! The lst Brooklin Guides would like to take the oppor- tunity to thank Mr. Bill Wallace for his help. in gaining their Citizen Badge, and for arranging their visit to Council on Monday evening. His co-operation was very much ap- preciated. More for young people! Scouts and Guides do not appeal to all of you I know, but there is an alternative. If you are a High School student you could enjoy yourself as a member of 'Level IV'. Members of this group have camped at Balsam Lake; enjoyed hayrides, swim parties, bowling parties, and 'party' parties; have exchanged week- end visits with Toronto members; have arranged own con- tempory music for Youth Church Services and combined carol singing with a hayride last Christmas Eve. If this friendly social atmosphere appeals to you, then go and introduce yourself on Sunday, 29th September at the 'Little White Church' on Winchester at 7 p.m. The meeting is for electing new officers for the year, and for meeting and wecoming newcomers. So go along and join the crowd.....and don't forget that you may have an idea or suggestion that Level IV could use for its future acitvities which would appeal to more young people in the area. Talking of High School students, one of our readersis concerned about the overcrowding on.their school buses. In these days of road safety procedures it would seem that some buses are a law unto themselves, and overload their seating capacity. I know that the drivers are very much aware of their responsibilities and drive carefully, but accidents do happen. And if a bus is.overcrowded the re- sults could be drastic. I hope that this is read by someone who is capable of checking into this situation and can come, up with a solution. Perhaps some of you parents involved could look into this and, if necessaiy, put some pressure on those in chargé. I've been taken to- task by one of our readers! The other week I wrote that Group 74 would be holding their Garage Sale at 44 Baldwin St.....opposite Grassers Park. My reader informed me that there was no such place as Grassers, it should be Grass's. He was absolutely correct. According to 'History of Brooklin'.....in the library and very interesting.....Grass's Park "a beautiful spot in the centre of the villag'; owned and cared for by the Grass family, which in 1951 was purchased by the village through donations". My reader added that he thought that the Grass fanily had lived in the white house at the side of the park in which Mrs. Hall now lives. If thisinformation is wrong I'm sure that someone will put me right. My thanks to my caller for drawing my attention to this error and therefore teaching me a little of the history of our com- munity. History lesson over, don't forget that Group 74 will be holding their Garage Sale on Saturday 28th, September between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m., at 44Baldwin Street, Brooklin .opposite Grass's Park. Corne and find yourself a bargain! If the ladies in the area feel in need of a mid-week break then call in at the Brooklin United Church Hall at 9:30 on Wednesday, October 2. Because then and every Wednesday morning thro' Fall and Winter, the Y.M.C.A. Ladies Take-a-Break will be once again in session. It's two hours of enjoyable company with interesting speakers and dernonstrators to help rid yourself of the mid-week blahs. And if you have any pre-schoolers, then they'll enjoy the fun and games with the very capable baby sitters that are on hand. So go along and rneet some old friends and make some new ones. Another way to make some new friends is to join the Brooklin United Church U.C.W. on Monday, October 7 they will spend the evening having a Visitation Blitz.. meeting new neighbours and introducing them into the communitfy. Mrs. Levi Arkesy will be the convenor. Also
