ttst 10 the stouffyiui tu8une tkundjy april 4 1957 pool excavation has begun excavation work on the new i stouffville swimming pool has begun this week the veter ans construction company will do the job the pool will be located in the extreme south east portion of the old arena site it will measure 82 feet in hakdkil than it looks aixojt every sport looks easy uctil you actually take part in it to the average onlooker eo sport would appear more impe than curling however a your reporter discovered recently the game of curling is eo cinch the stone is much heavier than one first anticipates and unles youve had a pregame serving of wheaties the rock is liable to get you down while at the arena for a few minutes i tried ray skill at the game but unfortunately my lack of experience showed me up as a rank greenhorn on my first few throws the stone id only a few feet although the ice was as smooth as glafs keeling somewhat perturbed 1 put every ounce of strength behind the next throw but to my dismay i slid backwards almost as far as the ston id foreward that was enough for one day how- often we as onlooker are quick to criticize the participants in local sports perhaps we should try the game first and com plain aferwarcs m sholii not be dropped any organization is only as strong as its chairman or president at the present time the claremont community softball league lack such a man to fill this important position for the past two seasons mr bill glidden was one of the mainstays of the group but he has expressed a desire to turn the job over to someone else this summer to date no one has agreed to step into the breach this thriving league should be continued it has during the past five years provided weekly softball recreation for dozens of district players the majority of which would not participate in the sport if the league should fold up theres no denying tho fact there is a considerable amount of work involved in trying to keep a six seam loop operating smoothly therefore by your repojrrs view on the matter at least two or litre- nifn should be appointed to tarry thp load with each doing his fair share the work would be considerably lesened gett1xo in the swim a few years ago arena construction was the order of the day when almost every town and village was embarking on a campaign for funds now it is swimming pools that have come to the fore newmarket has already started work on a poo and stouffville will commence its project next week markham opened its campaign on wednesday of this week in an effort to collect an estimated sioooo according to reports the promoters are confident that they will be able to put the scheme over the top they plan to have it completed by july 1st stouffville fortunately can sit back and watch its swimming pool take shape thpre will be no door to door canvas here no appeal for funds from various organizations or no free labour required from local citizens we arp indeed very fortunate baskham next with the ousting of stouffvilles intermediate and juvenile teams last week hockey activity here came to a sudden climax the arena doors were padlocked on sunday night after six kuccesive months of hockey figure skating and pleasure skating although the latnmarch shutdown is one of the earliest closings in the history of the rink the board fels that the arena has experienced one of its better seasons although we dont believe that the intermediate hockey club supplied an overabundance of funds to the arenas coffers it is a known fact that very few teams build up a surplus unless they survive their own group playoffs and enter the ontario playdowns aurora a3 we all know were a stumbling block in our path this winter it is quite possible that jthe juvenile team may have replaced a portion of the funds dropped by the intermediates public skating interest appeared to be on the upgrade and the ledger may show more profit from this line of sport than it did in 195556 the arena has one purchase to show for its years ooeration in the acquiring of a fine electric timepiece which blready has proved its value in the successful operation of a rink so its farewell to another exciting season of arena sports just think in six more months well be starting all over again catching ox the game of soccer appears to bejhe upandcoming sport here a few years ago soccer was a game that was played only at fchool and no great importance was ever attached to it now however interest has increased at such a rate that attend ance figures are nearing that of hockey and baseball here in stouffville soccer has become a very important part of our sports program in spite of a very inclement summer last year the crowds at local games were good organized soccer tour naments attracted some of the largest attendances in the history of the park and there appears to be no lessening of interest in the game we realize that the sudden upsurge of popularity has been promoted almost entirely by our new canadians as hockey is canadas national sport so soccer is one of the main attractions in many european countries although to your writer the rules of this game of soccer are still a little vague one cannot attend a scheduled or playoff contest without con tracting a little of the excitement that is packed into every tilt this season with the merging of the stouffville and markham club
