Since skip- ping is my job on the team, we will look at the situa- tion from the skip's view. One of the first things a skip should look for is a weakness in the opposing team, whether it be weak- ness on out -turn shots or on in -turn. Then it is your job to get your players to play to that weakness whenever possible. You generally find that many curlers, especially Leads and seconds, have trouble throwing the out- turn with accuracy. That is your cue to exploit that weakness in getting your players to place their rocks where out -turn shots are necessary. When you see that the opposing lead is getting wide with his out -turn shots have your own lead draw his rocks in with the out- turn. That would be my strategy, only in the case when the ice has falls, or kickbacks, and the stone falls against the turn. It also is effective when the ice is true and runs straight. This type of strategy does not apply when the ice is swingy, as nine times out of 10 a player can get wide of the broom and still make the shot on swingy ice. RUDDER You may also find a weak- ness in a curler who uses his broom as a rudder in a sliding delivery and leans heavily on it. He is likely to hook his shot or throw inside the skip's broom on the in -turn. I'm not condemning this style of delivery for there are many top notch curlers who use their broom as a rudder, but they do not put much weight on it. I have a tendency to throw my out -turn wide, but when faced with a cru- cial shot I usually throw a bit lighter weight and usually make the shot. If you are going to be a little wide it is best to be light and give the rock a chance to curl. Stu Beagle of Alberta, one of the game's great skips and an outstanding shotmaker, has a tendency to throw wide of the broom but he seldom misses be- cause he throws the right weight required for the particular shot. Stu seems to have a feel for the shot. RIGHT WEIGHT I have seen a lot of curlers who are excellent broom hitters, but they concentrate so hard on hit- ting the broom they forget to throw the proper weight required and as a result miss the shot. It boils down to the fact that it is generally better to be' a little wide than narrow on your shots, and the weight should be on the light side rather than heavy, always allowing for some extra curl. Better still, however, is to throw the weight asked by the skip and hit the broom a reasonable percentage of times.

Net result was a bag of seven rabbits. Chickens left from the fall shoot were sold to the members present at the meeting. It was decided to forego any work on the bird santuary in the Lower Wingham pond for this year, since it is likely that work will be in progress on the river bed. Regular meeting nights were set for the second last Thursday of each month at ' .30. Harry McArthur was re -appointed as the association's representative on the parks coni;nission, and Jack Henderson will be in charge of visits to the sick. David Cameron will be chairman of the committee to make arrange- ments rrangements for the annual water ski show. It was also decided to stage a fish contest as itt previous years, with prize awarded in several classifications for game fish caught during; the 1064 sea- son. Me.mbers are reminded of the annual meeting of the On- tario Federation of Anglers and Bunters which will be held at the Connaught -Sheraton Hotel in Hamilton on March 6th, 7th and 8th. In addition to inter- esting and valuable programs for the men, wives are invited to enjoy tours of several indus- trial and shopping centres in the city. - FARTHEST NORTH The most i 'rtherly part of Canada is Ellesmere Island, second largest of the Canadian Arctic islands.
