Graystoncs due to the unavoidable absence of sponsor Mac McPherson and manager Ron Simmons through family emergencies Cliff did a fine chore with considerable hon or and with Mayor Jim Murray and yours truly cutting short with the speeches the banquet went ahead with speed and brevity Handsome windbreakers from the town cardigans and pictures from the club plaques and the dinner from the sponsor medals and crests from the OHA went to the happy warriors a coop erative club that played for the fun and ended the season with balanced books due to Mr Chap mans fine promotional chore The ladies were not forgotten either and each tobe receiv ed a cup and saucer Dancing as of Graystones followed n organization meeting will be cooked up for August and while one or two are talking retirement and others may try for a place elsewhere chances are that most of the gang will be back again Coach Ron has been sounded out for a coaching job by the Boston chain but hasnt made up his mind Meanwhile hes playing softball with Rich mond Hill in the YorkPeel league Moved up to B the club can use four players as cither imports or waivers and this would give them the added strength they would need for a higher category One thing is sure intermediate hockey has sold itself to the fans in Aurora and the Bears will have to look out if theyre to continue as favorite sons some quick organization and the Motormon may well be on their way to another championship Remember Col R S well known horseman and sol dier who used to live in these parts is Grand Chair man of the fast growing Cana dian Pony club which is doing so much to encourage riding and horsemanship among the younger set This brings us to a sad note as we record the sudden death of that fine sportsman Harry Ste phenson a trainer of jumping horses has lived in the district for over 30 years and he was a familiar figure at all the district show rings and the Win ter Fair When he was with the Jarvis family he trained the groat Solar Eclipse He always followed Aurora and hockey teams over the years with enthusiasm and hell be missed at all the games Sympathy is extended to his wi dow and family among who is numbered Hal Stephenson one of Auroras finest baseball and soft- ball players Bud Lehman popular Stouii- ville athlete probably rates as the districts most versatile ath lete right now Bud just finish

Just to look out for the future a junior circuit is going as well with Stroud Thornton Utopia Holly and Ivy in action Both Aurora and Newmarket tried it briefly in this league but the of the circuit seems to for itself Brother Has- has a fine minor circuit go ing in these parts largely due to his promotional efforts Mike Kolton the big husky pitcher who toiled for Stouffville juniors a few years back is one of the young hopefuls that Teddy Morris has in for Toronto Argos this year Kolton played fine junior football and stands a good chance of catching a place with the double blue this year Hap Holmes football mentor at St Andrews College is once again in residence at Camp training Canadas young military cadets for the summer Vic pro at Aurora Highlands carded a first round in in the Ontario open at St Catharines which was not good enough to qualify for the final rounds but he headed a mighty impressive list of pros and amateurs at that of course doesnt get enough tournament work or he would be up with the leaders as he has all the natural attributes Bill one of the dis tricts best athletes is playing fine lacrosse for this year and by the same token Bobbie the big Newmar ket boy is fast developing into one of the better players in the OLA senior circuit Bob Davidson and Doug Alcorn expect to get together in the not too distant future to talk over hockey plans and it could be that some important news will be forthcoming about the Bears shortly Dont be surprised eith er if you see Bob who coached Woodbridge Dodgers last season linked with the Leaf chain in an important

the William pa trolled the swim along with a private launch owned by the Levy family of Roches Point A telephone on the Levy boat kept spectators on shore informed of the position of the competitors The idea for the swim was He doesnt like marathon swims and says that teenagers need something to keep themselves occupied in the sum mer The swim he says keeps a few of them out of trouble as it lakes most swimmers about two weeks to train A promoter of sixday bicycle races he loves competitive sport believing it to be more exciting for the contestants and the spec tators His theory was borne out last year when the winner of the race was not decided until the last yards and there was a near tie for second place Trophy For Finishers While the two mile race was being run last year shorter races were held in front of the dock at Sunset Lodge to keep spectators interested and to give young swimmers a chance to compete for the many trophies which were donated Conn Smythe of Maple Leaf
