The special signals are generally used by skips who have been with the same play e r s for considerable time and they carry out the skip's directions with a min- imum of verbal orders or vigorous display. Most of these signals per- tain to the position and weight the skip wants on the stone and these signals are given before the skip actual- ly places his broom for the ice and signals for the turn he wished on the stone. This system saves a lot of shouting by the skip to give information to the man on his rink playing the shot. Where sweeping is con- cerned, many experienced skips with equally exper- ienced teammates also sig- nal with hand or broom the force of sweeping desired. Skips do this with a gentle shaking of the broom or hand for light sweeping and a vigorous shaking for vigo- rous sweeping. With experienced teams that have played together for a long time, the skip fre- quently leaves judging of the weight of the shot to the sweepers, while he calls sweeping if the shot should happen to be off the broom. The skips also directs sweep- ing if the shot calls for a draw around another stone or through a port. In calling for a hack weight takeout, the skip will tap his broom on the stone to be hit, then reach back and touch the hack with his broom. He wants the stone played heavy enough to reach the hack. Most skips will give the ice the same horizontal line as the stone to be hit.

Foundry Trophy The annual Western Foundry bonspiel was held last Wednes- day at the Wingham Curling Club, The Western Foundry Trophy and first prize in the 9 o'clock draw went to a rink skipped by Bob McEnery of El- ora.. Other members were Bill Maben vice, Lee Symmes sec- ond, and Hugh Waind lead. They posted three wins and a plus of 14. Runner-up in the early draw was a rink skipped by Judge R. S. Hetherington of Wingham heavy enough to reach the back rings or back line if in- dicated by the skip. This is called for either a draw or light takeout. With back ring weight on a takeout, it is generally necessary to sweep the opponent's stone after it has crossed the tee line in order to take it through the house. I particularly like light takeout weight because, if the stone to be removed is not struck exactly right you save your own stone, and this can be most valuable at almost any time in a match. Also with a hack or light- weight shot, a chap and a lie shot can be readily made. This is to hit the stone to be taken out on the side, then have your own stone carom over to a better position in the house, pref- erably behind a guard. The general term for chap and lie in present day curling is the takeout and roll shot. Other weights you will see indicated are tee weight, with two wins and a plus of 11. Third was a rink skipped by Jim Carr, also of Wingham. In the 11 a. m. draw, Len Schmidt's rink from Walkerton came out the winner with three wins and a plus of 13. Also on this rink were Ed Tanner, Gor- don Tanner and the veteran, Bill Dobson. Runner-up in the late event was Jack Bowman's rink from Brussels with two wins and a plus of 10. Last year's winner of this event, Ted Thede's rink from Kitchener, ran into some rough going and this year finish- ed out of the prize list. GOOD FISHING Landed value of the catch of Canada's sea fisheries totalled $115 million in 1963; landed value of the catch of the in- land fisheries is about $20 mil- lion annually. front ring, and in front of the house when you do not have last rock on the end. This could later become' a guard for your shot if the opponent should fail to keep the front clear. Whenever possible t h e skip will stand at, or near the point he wishes the play- er to draw to and in this way help his player in judg- ing the weight and distance the stone must travel. The skip's direction of the play is the key to the confi- dence with which his play- ers make their shots. .......4411.11111111111111111111111111111111111111110 BOIY!/HC MEN'S TOWN LEAGUE The high single went to Lynn Finnigan with a 308 and the high triple was taken by Ian MacLaurin with 872.
