Winners of the Robin Hood Trophies for the most valuable player of the team are Dave Gowing of the Bantams, Bruce Corrigan of the Peewees and Neil Campbell of the Squirts. A word of appreciation goes out to the volunteers who refer- eed the games, and especially to Ross Peacock and John Sin- namon. Many thanks to those who provided transportation for the players to the games, and to all who supported the teams and made the season a most successful one. And to those who didn't get out to see the game, may we say—you don't know what you missed.

COMMERCIAL LEAGUE Our thanks to Gary Temple- man for sparing tonight. Things are looking mighty tough for some of us, and now that we are only one game from the end of our regular season, we are all wondering at what angle we should' bowl next week to make it really pay off. There are changes in the team standings, and what with Dot Templeman taking the high single with 256, as well as the high triple with 689, and Harold Wild taking the men's high single with 266 and the high triple with 715, quite a difference was made in the Drive In Your Trouble and Smile SMILE SMILE We can replace broken auto glass, grills, bumpers, smooth out wrinkled fenders and restore the factory finish.

Power MEMBER OF OUTD00R I have long been of the opin- ion that fear of firearms on the part os some people can be traced to ignorance. Ignorance of how a gun operates, what it is capable of ballistically and complete lack of knowledge of safe gun -handling practices. Yet it is generally thisgroup 'that goes into near hysteria whenever a shooting accident is reported — writing irrational letters to newspapers and other publications — demanding sweeping changes and addition- al restrictions on a subject of which they know little or noth- ing. Why is it that shooters and their sport are always catching the brunt of the criticism from this emotionally motivated segment of our population? Why do they neglect or overlook equally dangerous past -times such as horse racing, hockey, football, cycling, skiing, whittling, advocating the abolition of women's suf- frage and fishing? (I say fishing because ac- cording to statistics issued by the state of Connecticut, in the past six years there have been 24 deaths in fishing accidents and 6 fatalities in hunting mis- haps.) One reason, of course, is the fact that shooting accidents rate front page headlines while the many deaths caused by the greatest killer of all, the auto- mobile, are usually buried somewhere in the middle of the paper. You all remember the case that happened in a large On- tario city not so very long ago. A deranged son bludgeoned his mother and a neighbour to death with a hammer. He then purchased a shotgun which he used to shoot a policeman and finally take his own life. Two of the many ridiculous recommendations I noticed Leafs' standing. They are now in first place, but until the last bowl is thrown down the alleys, I would still hesitate to make any predictions as to which team will be the winners. Leafs, 110; Bruins, 104; Wings, 103; Rangers, 89; Can- adiens, 86; Hawks, 84. Last game of the season coming up! Good luck to y'all!!!I WRITERS QF CANADA following the incident were: A. One should have to pro- duce a driver's licence before purchasing a firearm. B. Everyone buying a fire- arm should be fingerprinted. Dealing with A, .. this would mean that if you don't happen to drive a car, my friend, you're just out of luck — no gun for you. Learn to drive, then we'll let you buy one. Besides this, if the way some people drive is any indication of how they would handle a gun, they should never be al- lowed to use one. (No offence intended, Ma' m. ) .And B.. . , they somehow overlooked the fact that in the above mentioned case, two people were shot (one a sui- cide), but an equal number of people were killed with a ham- mer. So does it not follow that all people who buy hammers should also be fingerprinted (and have a driver's licence, which goes without saying)? And how about knives (Jack the Ripper wouldn't have had a chance), rolling pins, Motor- cycles (capital M), boomer- angs, axes, silk stockings (just the thing for strangling young ladies with, so I'm told)? Hunting and shooting are clean, wholesome, safe sports which are every Canadian's right and privilege to enjoy. It is interesting to note there are some 10,000 -pistol and re- volver shooters in Ontario and in 20 years there has never been a shooting accident in a hand- gun club, with millions of rounds of ammo having been fired. The number of hunting fatal- ities, considering the number of hunters and man-hours spent hunting, would be almost as small a fraction as the deaths attributed to the sports of curl- ing, broomball and water -polo. I am not making light of shooting accidents, because they are tragic and inexcusable But I do say let's take a look at the situation sensibly and not overplay the few accidents that do occur. Unfortunately, we must ad- mit there are some people who own and shoot guns that have no business having them, just as there are people driving cars that should never be al - Jamestown Bantams Win Tri -County Championship JAMESTOWN--Congratula- tions to the Jamestown Bantam hockey team, who won the Tri -County Bantam Champion- ship in Brussels arena on Friday night. In the first round of the playoffs they trimmed the Lose Trophy by Only Two Points A rink from Wingham atten- ded the Legion bonspiel in Exeter last Saturday and won the 9:00 o'clock draw.

Before 1914 tobacco had been consumed mainly in pipes, cigars, chewing tobacco and snuff. Cigarettes began to be popular during World War I. lowed behind the wheel. This is a situation that is bettering itself constantly, with the introduction of the Hunter Safety Training Pro- grams across the country. Any new hunter must take instruc- tion and pass tests before being allowed to have a hunting li- cence. Most certainly the answer does not lie in laws making it difficult and unpleasant to pur- chase a firearm, in the un- necessary and troublesome reg- istration of guns or in tighter restrictions imposed on the many thousands of sportsmen who derive great pleasure from hunting and shooting. 000040000000000400 00000 0 00000 0 0.00000000 0 0 O 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 O 0 0 0 O 0 0 0 0 0 4 0 0 0 0 0 04000000000.000 SUNDAY IS ST.

(Bill) TILDEN The Liberal candidate for Wel- lington -Huron, William G. (Bill) Tilden, is well known to farm- ers in Ontario. He has served organized agriculture for the past fifteen years, During this time he has appeared on plat- forms in all parts of the prov- ince, promoting the interests of the rural community, In the service of agriculture he has acted as chairman of three provincial organizations, The Ontario Concentrated Milk Marketing Board; The Ontario Dairy Producers Co-ordinating Board and the Ontario Federa- tion of Agriculture, represent- ing over 100,000 farmers. He has recently retired from these or- ganizations. Since 1959 Mr. Tilden has rep- resented Ontario as a member of the Canadian Federation of Ag- riculture. In 1961 he represented Ontario at the International Federation of . Agricultural pro- ducers in Dubrovnik, Jugoslavia, and again in 1962 in Washing- ton. Urban people in the riding perhaps know him best as reeve of his township from 1950-1953, Serving in this capacity he was elected to the wardenship of Wellington in 1952. As a farmer he operates with his family a dairy general farm on the out- skirts of Harriston, Mr, and Mrs. Tilden have four children ranging in age from ten to twenty-two. His eldest daugh- ter, Annette, is currently study- ing Radio and Television Arts at the Ryerson Institute, Toronto. Two children, Willa and Deryk, attend Norwell High School. A younger son, Mark, is in Grade V at S, S. No, 11, Minto. The candidate has been a long-time proponent of increased industrial development in this area. In his belief the introduc- tion of much light and medium industry into the towns and vil- lages will represent an oppor- tunity of employment for many young people who are now seek- ing jobs in the large metropoli- tan areas. He feels that the in- troduction of such industry will stimulate business and revitalize the towns and villages which are the service centres of rural On- tario, Such industrial devclop- mcnt will benefit the farmer be- cause of the creation of local markets due to increased urban requirements. Because of great experience in dealing with people. orgnniza. tions and governments. both Provincial and Federal, and be- cause of his lengthy municipal service, Bill Tilden seems a very logieal candidate to represent the liberal party in the riding of Wellington -Huron,
