ERNIE RICHARDSON'S CURLING CAPSULES By ERNIE RICHARDSON When you have com- pleted the tour of positions on a team (or rink), and picked up considerable ex- perience in club matches and open bonspiels you are in the class of the expert curler. The expert has usually settled into a most effec- tive delivery, is a capable shotmaker and a go o d judge of weight. Much of this knowledge has come fro m constant play in tough competition and a close study of the game. There is a part of the game, however, that is learned from general ex- perience of the skip, to- gether with exchanging ideas with members of his team. This is the strategy of curling. Strategy is a most im- portant factor in all bon - spiel play and it is particu- larly valuable in all cham- pionship competitions. The stronger the opposition the more valuable the proper strategy becomes. There are no hard and fast rules for strategy and it is a difficult part of curl- ing to explain. It involves the end being played, the score and which side has the lead, the tricks of the ice, how the members of your rink are playing, and the effectiveness of the op- position. All these points a r e a part of curling strategy. WATCH FOR BREAKS Each skip must be able to direct his rink to best advantage in each situation of each game and be alert to detect those advantages at all times. Getting the jump on your opponent is of great value in any game. The t w o basic shots in curling—the draw and the take -out --are the offensive and defensive weapons of a skip. The secret is to try and force your opponent to play the style of game you play best. If you can force your op- position to hit then you have them on the defensive. The hit or take-out shot is an attempt to cut down the ad- vantage of the opposition while the draw is the shot that forces your opponent to hit.. LET HIM MISS The result is that if you have last rock on the end, your draw shot should be. played on the tee line, or in front of it. From then on it's a question of playing for your opponent to miss then take full advantage. If you happen to be the one who misses, you are forced on the defensive and the challenge is yours. The ability to adjust to' the ever-changing situations that arise in a curling match is the mark of an expert strategist and a skillful curler. With such a skip, a team t h at possesses a variety of shots and the determination to overcome obstacles will be hard to beat in any competition. ul!

Skating, hockey and skiing are ideal winter sports, but if you are unable to indulge in them, take long brisk, daily walks. in- door recreation, such as bowl- ing, swimming, badminton, etc., also provide exercise but it is not as valuable as that ob- tained in the open air. Remem-, ber -- exercise is good for you but don't overdo it. Moder- ation is the keynote here as in everything. DEER HAS GLASS EYES Few deer were shot in the southern part of Grey County this year. So when a farmer's car parked on the main street of Ayton had a deer's head sticking out of the truck, many people stopped for a closer look It was then they noticed that the big brown eyes were glass. A friend had placed the stuff ed head in the trunk as a prac- tical joke. —Walkerton Herald - Times. Get in Condition For Winter Skiing Planning to ski this winter? If you are, it is not too early to start getting in condition. Ski- ing can be healthy, invigorat- ing and a lot of fun — but like any other activity, there is al- ways the risk of injury or ac- cident. Good physical condition and ski instruction is the way to avoid accidents when skiing. Almost all of the ski accidents are caused by a skier's poor condition and over -estimation of his skiing ability. Ski experts suggest that 8 to 12 weeks before the season opens, the skier should spend ten minutes each day in deep knee bends, toe -walking, deep waist bends and pushups. He should also strengthen thigh muscles by sitting on the edge of a table and slowly lifting and strengthening his legs. Beginners should receive in- structions from a ski instructor, and should be provided with safe equipment. In skiing the following rules should be obeyed: Never ski alone. If you get hurt, there is someone there to help you or to go for help. Avoid steep slopes, hazard- ous jumps and areas that end in ponds, rocky or very rough ground or on streets. Ski only in areas that are supervised or patrolled. Learn control skiing — never attempt feats that are beyond your ability, and learn tocheck your speed. Stop before you are fatigued — you are more likely to fall and injure yourself when tired. zyczujoi SHOWPLACE OF WINGHAM THURS: FRI: SAT.

They received the results of their folly last week when teachers began to hand back their papers. With almost in- credible optimism, however, they are at it again this week. According to a source near the office, the one-week break was for the benefit of those students who were participating in the Royal Winter Fair. Ontario Scholars The pictures of Julie Cruik- shank, Murray Coultes, and George Conn were hung on the wall by the office last week. Each of them had obtained more than 640 marks on eight grade thirteen papers last June and had consequently received the Ontario Scholarship. Trivial Topics The inventive student mind has come up with two new and exciting games which can be played in a gym (especially our gym), They are called 'Dodge the Desk' and 'Topple the Box'. Who knows, they may replace basketball. 0--0--0 Those pupils, (all four of them) who feel a measure of responsibility and concern for the appearance and reputation of our school are trying to de- cide what should be done with the Courtyard. The Courtyard is the area which is now totally enclosed by the original build- ing, new addition, and new, new addition. Most suggestions involve filling it with water, whether for a heated swimming pool, a skating rink, or a gi- gantic aquarium. End of an Era Cold winter has driven the girls' physical education class- es out of the tennis courts and into the school, Thus students who used to watch them from the west wing have been de- prived of their main source of entertainment. Deep in his heart each boy must ask him- self "What will I do now in English class?" Ladies Open Curling Season About 50 ladies gathered at the curling club last Friday, Nov. 22, for a pot -luck lunch- eon. A short meeting followed the delightful meal and it was decided not to start round robin games until after Christmas. Jit- neys will be held both curling afternoons until the round robin is drawn up. All four ices were filled for a six -end game. A noted Canadian entomolo- gist was delivering a lecture on the danger of rat infestation. The sixth grade class listened with rapt attention. After the lecture, one of the pupils wrote a note of thanks. It concluded: "We didn't even know what a tat looked like until you came." A RARE VOLUME G. Elton of Toronto has giv- en a rare Scouting publication, Part 1 of Scouting for Boys by Baden-Powell, to the National Headquarters museum, Boy Scouts of Canada. This is the first of six parts written by the founder of the Boy Scout Move- ment, the then Lt. -Gen. Baden- Powell, C.B. It was published in January 1908, The five other parts were published at two week intervals betweenJan- uary and Match 1908. All sold at fourpence each. The first complete printed edition of the famous Scouting handbook was published in May 1908. Canadian Scouting officials know of only one other copy of Part 1 of Scouting for Boys and that is at Baden-Powell House in London, England. 0--0--0 FOLLOW EXPLORER'S TRAIL Two leaders and eight boys of the 2nd Vancouver, B.C., Scout troop have completed a seven hundred mile canoe trip through Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Scoutmaster Malcolm Hickleton planned the trip which followed the route used by the explorer Alexander Mackenzie in 1820. The ex- pedition began at Cold Lake, Alberta and followed the Wa- terhen, Beaver and Churchill Rivers to Flin Flon, Manitoba. The "explorers", between the ages of fifteen and seventeen, averaged forty miles a day. 0--0--0 SCOUT HEROES A new book "Scouts in Ac- tion", which details the true exploits of some fifteen recent Scout heroes, is soon to be pub- lished in the United Kingdom. Written by David Harwood, the book includes "Lion of the Tas- man Sea" an account of a res- cue from a wild sea on the New Zealand coast, and "The Long- est Night", a Canadian story in which young Scouts coped with a difficult situation after their leader died suddenly in a re- mote spot. The book is illus- trated with sixteen pages of photographs and maps. KEEP FINGER OUT OF TRIGGER GUARD "Never let the muzzle of your gun point at anything you do not want to kill." This is especially important when ac- companied by other hunters. Be sure to carry your gun so they are not in your Line of fire. Keep your finger out of the trigger -guard and the safety "on" until ready to shoot. A good hunter has complete control of his gun and himself at all times. REMARKABLE MINERAL One of the most remarkable substances found in the mineral world is asbestos. It is a para- dox of nature, being as dense as the rock in which it is found and yet actually a mass of tiny fibres which, when separated, are as light and fluffy as thistle- down, Most of the raw asbest- os used in the United States, the world's largest manufactur- er of asbestos products, comes from Canada.
