some very exciting soccer and in the process con firmed that stouffville will be very competitive indeed when the season opens two top stouffville teams led the way the panthers minor mosquitos not un expectedly won the opening game 31 much to the de light of coach alfons rub- bens while the castle royals minor peewees did not disgrace coach martin johannessen in tying their game 22 biggest loss came in the minor atom division the tigers had their claws drawn by the visitors and were thumped 50 the squirts managed a rather hard fought tie battling the visitors to a 11 score the two other ties came from the major atoms they were edged 32 and the major mosquitos who went down 3- l over 200 soccer players took part in the tryouts which under the new system is proving far superior to previous years the prac tice of trying out full teams against visiting clubs is one of the most successful ideas yet giving coaches a much better idea of a players abil ity when he is under real pressure this

over the temporary loss of his sunday morning congregation i cannot help but feel that his sal vo of criticism fell rather short of the mark i would be the last one to tell a person as to where his obligations lay on the sabbath but the matter goes a little deep er than that to single out any one organization for critic ism seems slightly un fair if the reverend is as couragous as most readers appear to be lieve then he has no choice but to follow through and have a go at everyone who breaks the sabbath what about the forth coming ball games that are going to be held on sunday mornings are the players exempt from his wrath does he in tend to make an attack on the proposed july 1 celebrations and its scheduled three day ball tournament the tour ney is licenced and you can guarantee that the beer will flow like water sunday included so why pick on the sunday morning hockey players if we are going to have a crusade then iets have a go at all the philistines right re verend fair exchange looking around at the gathering of influence wealth and chic at last sundays fundraising bash at markville one could not help but make comparisons between our rich neighbors and ourselves there was mayor tony roman sleek and smooth like a well fed seal that has escaped the annual slaughter eldred the unready looking despite his im peccable dress and good looks as if he were preoccupied with the planting of the first corn crop both arc adminis tratively strong men in their own way however the idea came to me that perhaps the two mayors could ex- change municipalities for a year under the shrewd deft touch of the roman administra tion markham has grown andprospered by leaps and bounds in the last ten years whereas we whats in a name tom marshall hus- band of councillor mar- got marshall came up with a name for the prop osed markham and stouffville hospital site north of highway 7 he suggested it be known as mash 7 perceptive of him a learning experience a couple of weeks ago i asked a grade nine stu dent at sdss to write down the names of her fellow students for me i needed them for refer- ence on checking the list i was dismayed to find that the spelling was atrocious and remarked on the fact to a staff teacher she replied that most of the grade nine students were like that what an indictment of our educational system capping the above in- cident comes the news that the york region board of education is in- creasing its budget by 13 million next year illiteracy sure is getting expensive these days ignored what has happened to the recommendations made to the town by the kinsmen club the club went to a great deal of effort in completing a survey of residents and getting plans and quotes for the new arena com- plex however they have not heard a word since their presentation frankly i wouldnt hold my breath waiting for a reply first of the few having succeeded in our application for a 375000 grant towards the new arena lets hope we can get bur own act together and start a fund raising campaign soon having seen how well the markham- stouf fvillc hospital fund raisers arc doing mar kham lions have pledged 50000 and emmerson electric arc donating 25000 a year for five years just to mention a couple we had better get a move on before the private sector- runs out of money to sup port all these projects fjfea
