AV. 5-1155 LAURENCE SCOTT 24 Hour Service President AV. 5-1812 PR. 3-5213 But unfortunately Mr. Piller was not very diplomatic and not fair to our local arena board or to some of the hockey players. Mr. Piller was all fired up be- cause of the apparent lack of con- dition on the part of the Rich- mond Hill Midget Rams, but per- haps the players were not in condition and perhaps they were. I think what was bothering Mr. Filler-was the fact that a local hockey club was beaten by a small centre like Beeton. Now I per- sonlly know Mr. Piller and know that he has, and did have when he was a hockey player a few years back, a tremendous compe- titive spirit and he hates to lose. I also hate to lose a hockey game, therefore I think that I under- stand how Mr. Piller felt that particular evening. But I wit- nessed the same Beeton team. again trim the Rams last Friday at Beeton. by a 5 to 3 score and again the Rams seemed to run out of steam during the last per- iod. Now it is a well known fact that there is ice time available for practice periods at the Rich- mond Hill Arena, BUT, and this is a big but, it is not available at the times needed by these young- sters to practice. =Unfortunately Dick didn’t think when he wrote that letter to your paper, be- cause if he had stopped to think. there are about 450 boys playing hockey in the local arena at the present time. This is the break- down: peewee, 16 teams, 270 boys; eight minor teams, 165 boys; and the Bantam “Bluelin- ers" and the Midget “Rams” with about 20 each, as well as a few drifters. Now as you can see there certainly isn’t the ice time available for any one club and I know for a fact that some Richmond Hill clubs have to go elsewhere to get enough time to practice. But the fact does re- main, and I will back Mr. Piller, to the hilt on this, that the local hockey clubs that go out of town _to play should be the best that _...I In all probability, they will sug- gest that the visitor start his tour with the house two miles outside of Ayr, nenr Alloway, where Burns was born. Restored only recently, the cottage has a snug thatched roof. and fresh white- wash sparkles on its walls. A museum beside the cottage holds original manuscripts and some of Burns' personal belongings. Naturally enough. the heart of the Burns' celebration is in Ayr, Scotland, the poet’s birthplace, where special events will mark the 200th anniversary of his birth. But in a sense, “Rabble” Burns’ country will be holding open house throughout the year, and visitors at any season will find local people eager guides to plac- es closely connected with the poet’s life. On the road from Ay'r to the cottage in Alloway is the Tam O'Shanter Inn, with a collection of associations which no Burns devotee should miss. From the Inn to the Brig o’Doon, the route is the same as that taken by Tam and Meg, when in the Alloway Kirk, according to Burns: “. . . Tam saw an unco sight! Witches and warlocks in a dance!" Recently there appeared in “The Liberal” an article written by Mr. Dick Piller, president of the Richmond Hill and District Minor Hockey Leaue. In his letter Mr. Piller lament- ed the fact that Richmond Hill’s representatives in the North York and Ontario Hockey Assoc- iation were not getting sufficient ice time to practice. Mr. Piller ap-- parently feels that in order to represent our town at other cen- tres we should send a properly trained and conditioned team, and I agree with Mr. Piller one hun- dred per cent. gerfifie, ’{hfefibest coached and in the best possible condition. For Burns. to Scotsman, is more than a poet â€" he is the voice of Scotland. The fact that his message made him loved throughout the world is to them a sgurce 9f pride. _ After all, as stated by Mr. Pill- er, they are representing our town and they are a fine bunch of boys and a credit to our com- munity, but they can all stand some more ice time. Mr. “Wick” Mills, who is sponsoring the mid- get team and Mr. Ted Terry, who in sponsoring the “Blueiiners” have invested a great deal of money in these clubs, but are they millionaires? They must have some support. besides well wish- ing. It must be very dishearten- ing for these generous gentlemen to find someone like Mr. Piller blasting the team that happens to lose. But as stated above, Mr. Piller hates to lose, and that doesn’t necessarily mean that he is a poor sport either. .It boils down to this, that the teams rep- resenting Richmond Hill out of town should have more ice time available to them. But where is it coming from? I’m sure I don't know.

Jan. 14, 1959. ‘ On behalf of the Aurora Drama Workshop I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the Richmond Hill Curtain Club on their recent winning of the Calvert Regional Challenge Tro phy presented for their excel- lent presentation of “Cleram- bird” at the Central Ontario Re- gion Festival. I am sure you must all be very proud, I would like also to express congratulations to the actor and actress who won “Best Actor” and “Best Actress” awards for this section of the festival. Finds “The Liberai” Excellent Advertising Medium Dear VMr. Editor â€"- Opposite the Mauchline church- yard is Poosie Nansie's Inn, one of Bums’ favourite hangouts. Here he is believed to have writ- ten “The Holy Beggars" while in company of the somewhat disrep~ utnble characters who frequented the old lodging house. Time has lent Poosie’s place respectability, however; it now has a hotel 11- cense, and visitors tan find a comfortable bed and breakfast un- der the roof that sheltered the poet and his cronies. We wish you much success in all your future endeavours. Yours sincerely, Aurora Drama Workshop (Joyce McMain, Sec.) Just a note to let you know that I ‘have found “The Liberal” to be an excellent medium for advertising purpos'es. We received immediate and numerous replies to an advertise- ment which was inserted last week, and am pleased to advise that we sold the six different items offered within 24 hours of the issue being distributed: The following letter was receiv- ed by the president of the Curtain Club following their recent suc- cess at the Central Ontario Dra- ma 'Festival.

In the house beyond this inn, Jean Armour, Burns’ tragic sweetheart, lived with her par~ ents. Her own house in the vi]- lage is still preserved as a mu- seum. The story of their i11- fated love affair, which brought heartbreak to them both, echoes still in the simple lines: “Had we never loved sae kindly, Had we never loved sae blindly, Never met, or never parted, We had ne’er been broken- hearted." We wish you continued suc- cess and we will be pleased to recommend “The Liberal” at any opporjpnity. concerned, but they stlll must look after all the other young- sters. The way our town is grow- ing there is only one answer â€"-â€" a new arena,‘ or some outdoor ar- tificial rinks, or both. Incidentally, there are a lot of fine hockey men in town, like Jim Grainger. “Tubby” Barrow, Barry Brent, George Chassie and foremost among them is Dick Piller who has done a fine job of organizing minor hockey here in town. This is a rather long wind- ed letter, but I hope it has clear- ed the air, temporarily at least. Yours in sports, ED “RED” GARNER, I hope that this letter will in no way cause any hard feelings but facts are facts. I feel Mr. Piller was unduly criticized for his statements. I know also that he did not mean to slight any in- dividual or group of individuals with his letter.
