INTERMEDIATE HOCKEY GAME .KINCARDINE vs. WINONA/it IN W1NPHAM ARENA SATURDAY, NOV. 2$ r. ,••••`..•:• ALL SORTS "A FAN IN THE STANDS" SAFE GUN HANDLING WILL REDUCE HUNTING ACCIDENTS Since the Department of Lands and Forests introduced its hun- ter safety training about seven years ago, hunting accidents have declined despite an increase in the number of hunters. Borden Jenkins of Minnie Street has been acting as an instructor in local courses since the program began and on Tuesday night a group of about a dozen Wingham and area hunters gathered at his home to learn the finer points of safety. Talking to Borden, who is also a gunsmith as well as a quali- fied safety instructor, we learned that the course is an extremely thorough one. It not only teaches hunters not to kill each other but also how to find their way out of a bush when lost, and in fact, how to avoid becoming lost, Direction finding, first aid, map reading, ballistics, proper use of the firearm (cleaning etc.), firearm identification, are all taught along with safe handling practices. It's too late to sign up for the current course but no doubt Bor- den will be announcing another one in the future and it might be worthwhile for both novices and experienced hunters to pick up a few pointers for use in the outdoors, Other instructors who conduct Hunter Safety courses are Terry Nethery and Frank Caskanette, and Jim Turvey of Bluevale.

You get some strikes and add some spares, And try very hard not to blow, Just pick up the ball -- run down the lane and give it a good hard throw. Gwen MacLaurin rolled the ladies' high single with a 281. Bill Hotchkiss captured the men's high triple with a 832 and Bob Crawford had the high single for the men with a 320, Here are the standings; Hilda's Humbugs 46; Marilyn's Maple Buds 40; Marg's Mints 35; Gail's Gum Drops 29; Pat's Smarties 31; Laura's Secords 28, Many thanks to the spares last week: Bob Crawford, Gloria Thomas, Elwood and Joan Ir- win. WEDNESDAY NIGHT ' LADIES' LEAGUE Things were a bit noisy at the alleys Wednesday night, especially on alleys 1 and 2 and you couldn't say it was a dull night. Marion McLennan came through with the high single of 278 and Louise Wel- wood had the high triple, a 685. Those bowling games over 225 were Dorothy Bain 241; Louise Welwood 255 and 251; Mary Forrest 233; Verna Stef- fler 233. One game that wasn't over 225 but is worth congratu- lations was bowled by Betty Fcxton, a 207. Team standings are Wheat- les 36; Trix 24; Fluffs 34; Mullets 36; Shreddies 29; and Cheerios 30, COMMERCIAL LEAGUE A few new names appeared in the high bowlers tonight. Hank Burrell 211, John Finnigan 229, Betty Lee 219, Harold Taylor 260, George Cameron 245, 270, Frank Burke 2:31 and again Eric had a good game, 208, I•ligh for the women were two Dots, Bain had single 308 and Cameron triple 654.

Thanks spares -- Don Rae, Lois Cerson, Joan Crawford, Helen. Casemore and Ian Mac- Laurin. Roe Croskill bowled a 228 tonight. I wonder if Ruth rub- bing his arm had anything to do with it. Next week Roe, get down on your hands and knees, look down the alley and then get up and bowl. See which of the two helps the most MEN'S TOWN LEAGUE The honors were carried off by the league's veterans this week as Bill Stephenson bowled a 761 triple and Hap Swatridge stole high single with 342 and runner up triple with 757. Host Ian /vlacLaurin had a fine 325 and we have to mention a 308 by Lev Balser. Les Canacliens are still hold- ing onto that top spot with 49 points while the Bruins with 43 are still wondering "wot hop- pen" . The Maple Leafs and Black Hawks are tied with 38 and are being hounded by the Rangers with 36. The Red Wings have 27 but should have 29 as Capt, K. Saxton was called away for P.U.C. repairs.

Yes, ,this is theJarat „. week that one of the girls has walked off with the double honors in this group as Margar- et McLaughlin put together two fine games 258, 241 for the outstanding double of 499! Top single, a 270 was rolled by Don Collar while Larry Gor- don with 467 double on games of 243, 224 took the double honors for the guys. Others hitting over 400 doubles were Doug Mowbray 428, Jim Hen- derson 406, Don Rae 405 -- boy these two team-mates sure had a battle as Jim rolled games of 200 and 206 while Don rolled games of 200 and 205. Nice to see Patti King with 205 single and 385 double. Who will hit the 300 mark first! JUNIORS Larry Simmons had that old southpaw in fine form as he took high single 228 and double 380. Congratulations to Paul Forsyth as he joined the over 200 club for the first time this year with a 202 single. Other games over 175 were rolled by Bradley Simmons 198, David Tiffin 191, 182, Wayne McLennan 186, 181, Paul Swat- ridge 182, Bruce Skinn 181. For the girls Kern Mellor edged Marilyn Irwin for the double with 284 to Marilyn's 279 and in the single department once again Marilyn Irwin came out second best as Sandra Lee with 152 beat Marilyn by 2 pins for the single honors. BANTAMS It happened again The gals took full honors on the NOTES AND QUOTES FROM THE ARENA We watched the intermed- iates practise for a while on Monday night and if strength in numbers applies we should have a winning team. About 40 players are trying for a berth on the squad.... Most promising prospect on the team's forward roster is Bob Hetherington from Bluevale, who is said to have played with the Hamilton Red Wings in the OHA Jr. A. loop. Bob is a chunky lad but moves well and strength of some fine bowling by Lynn Foxton with 152 single and 282 double. Boy, Lynn is not very big but she sure knows where to throw that ball. For the guys Jeff Croskill took all honors with 141 single, 233 double. Come on boys, let's beat those girls next week! Hitting the 100 club for the week, Lynn Foxton 152, 100, Jeff Croskill 141, Faye Walden 121, Marlene Foxton 121, Carol Hastings 119, Patricia Willie 118, Christine Rae 117, 106, Cindy Cook 111, Brian Gordon Cub meeting The Cubs met on Thursday in the Wingham Public School with 36 boys and four leaders present. The Yellow Six led in the Grand Howl. The boys enjoyed a relay of leap frog and the game, " Three Deep". Many Cubs are working at home to earn badges and also pass different sections in each star program. These boys de- serve credit and they are the ones that really gain knowledge for years to come. Come on boys, get your book out some evening arid see how much you can learn about nature, car- pertry or whatever your interest might be. The winning six so far this year is the Green Six with 83 points, A great deal of credit goes to Jim Ritter, the Sixer, who sets a good example for the other boys. The meeting closed with the Grand Howl and Cub prayer. will be a big help for the team. ". As a defensive team George Skinn and Jon Bateson looked tough to get by and with Lynn Hickey sharp in the nets our goals against average should be low Ken Henry, local poacher pincher, showed some good moves Monday. Ken is a former member of the Owen Sound Greys in the junior B group. Ken is also showing an interest in minor hockey by coaching the bantam team 111, Pat Wharton 110, 107, Law- rence Norman 105, Janet Gor- rie 105, Debbie Hull 104, Su- san Foxton 102, Pamela Clark 100, Cathy Schiestal 100, Jay MacLaurin 100. Hey guys, just count the number of games over 100 rol- led by the boys -- now count the number rolled by the girls kinda embarassing, eh?

If unable to attend, please contact your township representative by Monday, November 27, as the teams will be drawn up that night. BY TOM tvicLAUGli LIN At the Scout meeting on Wednesday night there were 22 boys present. After Opening exercises a study period was held which was followed by a game of "fetch the boot". At Kooligan's Quarry the court of honour was explained and Scouter Ken read a piece of one of Baden POwell'S books, Following the announcements the meeting was closed with the lowering of the flag. along with Gary Templernan... As yet no juvenile _club has been formed as there doesn't seem to be enough players to make up a team. If you would like to play juvenile hockey, Bob McKay is handling prospec- tive players. DEER PLENTIFUL IN T. HELENS AREA During the recent three-day deer season, twelve hunters managed to bag eleven deer in the St. Helens area. Taking part in the successful hunt were Neil Rintoul, Gordon and Roger Pannabecker, Allan MacDon- ald, Don Taylor, George Hum- phrey, and Alvin Alton of the St. Helens district, Bill Clark, Joe Clark and Ken Thompson of Wingham, Ralph Trurnmer of Gait and Bill Lee of Toronto. APPEALS FAIL TO AROUSE INTEREST Despite the fact that there were two stories in last week's paper and three comments on local television sports news, the minor hockey organization meeting at the arena was a dismal flop on Monday night. Only two interested parents showed up along with our re- creation director, one coach, a Kinsmen representative and the press. Since there were 110 players registered at the arena on Saturday this would indicate that there must have been almost 100 parents who just couldn't be bothered. Saturday saw the boys re- gistering and in all but midget and bantam, a good number signed up. Twenty-nine tykes, 26 squirts, 30 peewees, twelve bantams and thirteen midgets registered and roc director, Jim Ward said applications are still being accepted. If your boy didn't get to the arena on Saturday, contact Jim at 357- 3550 for details. Coaches for the teams are pretty well lined up. George and Doug Skinn will steer the midgets again this year with Gary Templeman and Ken Henry at the reins for the ban- tams. Elwood Irwin with the help of Drs. MacLennan, Doig and Leedham will look after the peewees. Squirt coaches are Bill Lindup and Bill Hil- burt while Ken Taylor and Bob McKay, high school students, will instruct the tykes with the assistance of Jim Ward. More help in the coaching depart- ment could be used in the squirt, tyke and peewee groups. GORRIE-W ROXETER PUCKSTERS PREPARE FOR BUSY SEASON Crawford Gibson of Wroxeter reports that a good show of minor hockey players register- ed for the Gorrie-Wroxeter teams on Saturday. In all, about 52 players signed up for teams from squirt to midget. The squirt team attracted the most boys followed by peewees with 14 and bantams with 12. The midgets will need more players if they are to ice a team. The teams, entered in the Tri-County Rural Minot Hockey league, played most of their home games at Gorrie last year as some difficulty was en- countered getting suitable ice at the Wroxeter arena. The league includes teams from Bellmore, Fordwich, Kurtzville and Belgrave. In the past, teams have also been entered from Stone School, Jamestown and Molesworth. Active in organizing and running the league are Craw- ford Gibson who coached the squirts and peewees as well as doing a little refereeing, and Jim Wylie who helped with the squirts. Also helping with the officiating and other important chores were Dave Neilson, Lloyd Townsend, Ron Elliott and Glen Johnston from Ford- wich. Due to the fact that no arti- ficial ice is available, the teams usually start their sche- dule. early in January. In years past those active in the organization have approached the municipal council in Ho- wick Township regarding arti- ficial ice but as yet have been unsuccessful in their plea. The league schedules will be drawn up at a meeting at the arena at 13elgrave, Tuesday, December 5. Stan Hopper, R. R.6 Brus- sels, is president of the league and will be glad to furnish any details requested. According to the coaches, more help in handling the teams is urgently needed. Last year the driving problem was licked when a mimeographed letter was sent to all parents informing them that if they failed to drive at least once during the year their boy would not be playing hockey. As the same rule is in effect for this year, transportation will not likely be a problem. THIS, THAT AND THE OTHER THING Gorrie intermediates are skating already this year with Dave Neilson at the helm. So far a practice at Wingham and an exhibition match dropped to Palmerston have been the only action A senior badminton league will start play at the public school audi- torium on Monday evening at 7:30. This league is open to all adults and high school stu- dents Broomball is a sport rapidly growing in popularity as was seen by the activities of the North Huron league last winter. Rec director Jim Ward Says interest is high in Wing- ham and a league will be formed if enough players are found A meeting was held at the golf club on Mon- day night but as our deadline is bright and early Tuesday morning we'll have to hold details for next week On Tuesday night conveners of the various groupings in the W.O.A.A. met here but again details will follow next week. The curling club has taken on new life thanks to the brush wielding of Allan Mac- Kay and assistants. The ice has a pretty shade of green between the hacks and the button stands out very plainly with brightly colored circles.. ..During the recent deer hunt, Jack Alexander reported seeing two fawns which had become caught in the top strands of a barbed wire fence. The animals had been dead for some time. ...Heard any sports news? Drop us a note at the A-T or call 357-2320.
