MEMBER OF OUTDOOR
Snowshoeing is a very en-
joyable and ancient pasttime
that has outlived many "sports"
of a bygone era such as throw-
ing Christians to the lions and
dunking witches to cite two
examples.
Snowshoes are essential
equipment for many people
who earn their livelihood in
the great outdoors, such as
trappers, lumbermen, foresters
and others. However, the bulk
of the snowshoe purchases these
days are made by sportsmen.
The great upsurge we have
seen in snowshoe sales the past
few years can be attributed to
a number of factors. Although
grandpa would never admit it,
we have had a couple of "Old
Fashioned" winters. There is
an ever increasing number of
WRITERS OF CANADA
fellows bunting rabbits, and it
takes but one hunt for a hunter
to realize it's virtually impos-
sible to walk the fence lines
without snowshoes, unless he
happens to have very large
webbed feet and weighs less
than 50 pounds. There are
also the fast growing clan of
ice -fishermen, nature photo-
graphers and those who enjoy
a walk through the woods on a
crisp winter day.
Most of the snowshoes sold
today have ash frames and are
strung with cowhide, although
there is a metal shoe which is
somewhat of a recent arrival.
These have magnesium frames
and are strung with fine steel
cable covered with plastic.
They're a well -made, light-
weight snowshoe but are priced

above the average man's bud-
get.
Here are a few points to
look for when purchasing a
pair of snowshoes:
(1) Make sure they are
strung with full grain cowhide
which looks better and wears
longer than does split cowhide.
(2) Check the frames to
make sure they are made from
select hardwood and are work-
ed in such a way to follow the
edge grain of the wood.
(3) Double check to be sure
the shoes you are purchasing
are guaranteed non -sag. These
cost but a few dollars more and
are well worth the difference.
(4) Finally, the greatest
problem of all — to select a
snowshoe best suited for your
size and the use you plan on
giving them.
If a variety of snowshoes
could be carried from which to
choose a particular pattern as
the need arose, the snowshoe
problem would be solved.
They come in a vast array
of sizes and styles. You can
purchase snowshoes 9 x 29 inch-
es, 21 x 36 inches and 10 x 60
inches to mention a few ex-
tremes.
Bear paws, which are oval-
shaped, tailless snowshoes,
would be the choice for mov-
ing about in heavy brush and
you will find a great many
trappers using this style.
The "Cree" or "Ojibway",
which are long, narrow snow-
shoes, sharply turned up to a
pointed toe, would be chosen
for lake areas and open deep -
snow country.
Also available are the Mon-
tagnais, Beaver -tail, Racing,
Lumberman and so on through
the entire gamut of snowshoe
patterns.
The outdoorsman generally
must narrow his selection down
to one type which is best suited
to do all jobs. This should be a
snowshoe from 12 to 16 inches
wide and from 42 to 48 inches
long, depending on the weight
of the person using them. The
shoe should be slightly turned
up at the toe and should have a
tail.
If you weigh up to 175
pounds, two good sizes are 14
x 42 and 12 x 48.
If you weigh 200 pounds or
more, your best bet will be a
snowshoe 14 x 48 or 16 x 48.
The care of snowshoes is a
simple matter. They should be
well protected with a coat of
good -quality, water-resistant
varnish, and at the end of the
season should be stored in a
cool, dry spot away from the
reach of animals.
When it comes to footwear,
the snowshoe moccasins or
shoe -packs are best for the job,
although some of the leather
and rubber hunting boots will
work very well.
Atone time almost everyone
that snowshoed used a harness
fashioned from lampwick which
most hardware stores sell by
the yard. However, nowadays
there are some excellent lea-
ther harnesses available which
are reasonably priced, neater,
more rigid, more convenient
and of a considerably more
permanent nature.
Many of you may have a
desire to enjoy our invigorating
Ontario winters without madly
racing up and down some hard-
packed ski slope at breakneck
speeds, forcing yourselves to
laugh gayly so everyone will

The Captains are really putting
on the pressure now, and with
only three games to go, and
the changes each week, it is
still anyone's guess as to the
outcome. Dot Templeman
took the high single with 287
and as well the high triple with
632. Nice going, Dot! Ken
Cerson took the Men's high
single with 280 and Joe Schnei-

Troop held its annual church
parade in the Gorrie United
Church, Sunday evening.
Those attending included mem-
bers of the Scout Troop, Cubs
and also C,G.I,T,
Scout Carmen Hamilton read
the Scripture. Rev. George
Anderson of the Gorrie Angli-
can Church had a very inspiring
message for, not only Scouts,
but adults as well. Rev. Fred
W. Taylor conducted the ser-
vice and ushers were members
of the troop, Ken Anderson
and Gerald Hyndman,
BELGRAVE CUBS

ducted a knot tying relay and
the other leaders both had
games. For instruction Bag-
herra (Mrs. Gordon McBurney)

Vincent and Mrs. VanCamp
taught semaphore to the other
Cubs. Rodney White and
George Cook were invested as
Cubs. Mrs. VanCamp (Rack-
sha) told a story "Why Victor
Slept So Well" and everyone
had a doughnut. The meeting
closed with Taps.
NORWAY
Here we see the hot widely worn by
Scouts throughout mountainous Nor-
way. It fits close to the head and it
would take more than a gale to blow it
off. Edged with green it is made of
the same blue -grey material as the
Norwegian Scout uniform. The normal
Scout hat is, however, still to be seen
on certain occasions.

THE NEW DAIRY FARMERS' ADVERTISING PLAN,
Jets Take Game In Last Minute
The Kincardine News report-
ed last week that Coach Bill
Bell had indicated there would
be quite a shuffle in the Bull-
dog lines, with at least one
player dropped for a game or
think you like getting ice and
snow down your neck and get-
ting bruised and battered as
you tumble head over heels.
It's all part of the fun, so they
say. I say Harumpfff.
If the above doesn't appeal
to you, I suggest you take up
snowshoeing. It's healthy, in-
teresting and rugged exercise,
but not without its hazards.
A good friend of mine will
readily testify to this fact.
While we were out one day
last winter, he happened to
slip headfirst into a very deep
pocket of soft snow, being
completely buried except for
his snowshoes and a short length
of leg. As you can imagine he
was quite helpless, unable to
right himself or cry out for as-
sistance.
After waiting patiently, at
great length, for the St. Ber-
two. His decision resulted from
the game between the Bulldogs
and the Dominion - Jets on
Monday of last week. Coach
Bell apparently found the de-
feat, by a score of 6-5 for Wing -
ham, humiliating.
The Bulldogs were leading
4-2 by the end of the first
period. Only one goal was
scored in the second, which
gave the Kincardine team a
score of 5-2.
In the third frame the Jets
came through with three coun-
ters, to tie the game 5-5.
Finlayson, Bell and Shewfelt
each had two penalties and
Bennett one in this final period.
When Finlayson was sent
from the ice, with less than
a minute to go, Wingham
pressed hard and gained the
winning goal just 23 seconds
beford the final bell.
nard dog and the keg of brandy
that are supposed to show up at
these moments, I finally gave
up and dug him out myself or
he undoubtedly would have
been there until the spring thaw.
