tluevale and Jamestown
Sponsored Four Teams
The communities of Blue -
vale and Jamestown combined
this season in an effort to bring
hockey to every youngster in-
terested. In all, they spon-
sored four teams.
The Bluevale Peewees,
managed and coached by Alex
Corrigan, took fourth place in
the regular season series and
played off with Kurtzville Pee-
wees. The Bluevale Squirt
team lost to Fordwich in the
first round of playoffs.
The Jamestown Bantams
were successful in winning the
Tri -County Bantam Champion-
ship, defeating Kurtzville in
the first round and Belmore in

the final playoffs. They are
managed and coached by Carl
Cowing. The Jamestown In-
termediates, with manager
Jack Nicholson were not suc-
cessful in entering the playoffs,
Better luck next season,boys!
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.

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

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 -

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.

WILLIAM G. (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,
