The 24-mile walk between the two centres is sponsored by the Irish Rovers Club of London and is open to both men and women and is being held for the seventh time. The original idea of the walk was sparked by a "bit of an argument" over the relative physical fitness of some of the club members after the winter session of soccer training in 1962. From there news of the competition spread and requests for entry came from all types of people including salesmen, policemen, housewives, factory workers, radio and TV personalities, lawyers and mailmen. Weather conditions affect the walkers to a great degree but like the mail it must go through regardless of rain, sleet or hail. Of the 207 starters for 1968 including 38 women, 29 were retrieved from the roadside by a St. John Ambulance vehicle or the special buses which patrol the route. Although most of the entrants make extreme efforts to complete the course in the shortest possible time, some enter just to get the physical fitness benefits of a Sunday morning walk. Mayor Herb McClure of London will start the contestants off in the morning and the mayor of St. Thomas will present the trophies to the prize winners. The route is over hill and dale and (although in theory only) the route is downhill as London is 900 feet • above sea level and St. Thomas is only 760 feet. The last mile of the 16.4 mile walk has two of the deepest descent and inclines to be found in Southern Ontario. It is here that many fail to make the grade. Police protection is given at all main intersections and safety precautions are applied vigorously. A communique from walk co-ordinator Dennis Storey says "for persons interested in colour photography "The Walk" is an outstanding opportunity to capture a bit of Old Ireland with remarkable contrasts, as all contestants must be "Wearing the Green." If any one from the area is interested in competing in this endurance test entries with a one dollar fee may be forwarded to Dennis N. Storey, 562 First St., London. Entrants must be at least 21 years of age. The information on the walk we received includes some valuable information for those participating. Here are some of the hints to make the walk more pleasant. Wear good solid leather boots or shoes, with white or light coloured socks. Add french chalk or a good talcum powder both inside and outside of socks. Wear the smoothest possible underwear and lubricate top of legs with vaseline or a similar product. Protect face and hands for wind burn, especially lips and ears. Have a light breakfast with a minimum of fluids. Heel and toe must contact the ground on each step with no running, loping or shuffling allowed. CONSERVATION SCHOOL Twenty-four Ontario boys ages 14-18 will have an opportunity to attend a one-week Conservation School during the latter part of July. The school is a joint effort of the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters and Winchester Western Canada Ltd. The . Federation will select candidates from throughout the province judged on their interest and work in conservation. "The course will be oriented towards the management and wise use of the renewable natural resources," said Jack Feldhaus, President of Winchester Canada. "The aim is to interest young people in resource management either as a career or to play an important role in working with such organizations as the O.F.A.H." Visitors to the Winchester booth in the "Canadian National Sportsmen's Show" in Toronto March 14-23, 1969, will be invited to make contributions to assist in this important program. In return for donations, visitors will receive a copy of the 1969 Firearms and Ammunition Catalogue and will also be eligible to win a Winchester 12 gauge shotgun. Dr. Don Longmore, the Federation's President, announced at the 41st Annual Convention in Kingston, that the course will encompass such subjects as environmental requirements for game and fish, the importance of wise water and forest management to sustain wildlife, Hunter education and the methods and values of harvesting these renewable resources. The Islington Sportsman's Club in the Albion Hills, 25 miles northwest of Toronto, will be the base of operations for the school. Nature studies, conservation lectures and classes will be held outdoors whenever possible. Arrangements are being made for field trips to study marshlife and aquatic vegetation. At this school it is hoped to develop conscientious anglers and hunters with a knowledge of the need to wisely manage our resources for this and future generations. WOAA INT.
