SHARPSHOOTERS — Tony Jones and Ed Morrison show their shooting style which
won the two area cadets medals at a shoot in Bisley, England this summer.
_At Bisley shoot
Medals for area cadets
In a time when Canadian
flags droop tattered and unat-
tended and most youths are
reluctant to stand for the na-
tional anthem, two cadets
from Huron Park have ex-
perienced the pride and
honour of representing
Canada against the best in the
world
Master Warrant Officer Ed
Morrison and Warrant Of-.
ficer Tony Jones were two of
the 18 young Canadians who
competed at the Com-
monwealth Shooting Competi-
tion in Bisley, England this
summer.
The local pair, both atten-
ding South Huron District
High School this fall,- were
chosen in British Columbia
last spring for their behaviour
and attitude as well as for
their shooting expertise.
Before crossing the Atlantic
the Canadian team had two
weeks training in Ottawa at
the end of June. Coming from
all across Canada the 18
cadets had to accustom
themselves to shooting as a
team and living with each
other for the next eight weeks.
Jones noted that "we were
like a big family, but it was
hard staying together for
eight weeks". In Ottawa
Jones and Morrison won a
pairs competition.
The group of the best
shooters in Canada really felt
like a team after the issue of
their formal suits and Bisley
track suits in which they were
to be seen it all times.
The team stepped off their
plane at Gatwick as am-
bassaders of Canada. The
Bisley Championships are
steeped in tradition and
prestige. For over 100 years
they shot at Wimbledon
before moving to the modern-
day ranges.
The three week competition
is mainly civilian with a few,
including Canada's cadets,
army teams.
"It was very tough competi-
tion as we were shooting
against the best shooters in
the world," said Jones;
however both he and Mor-
rison shot well enough to
bring home several
medallions.
The 1200 competitors shot in
many tournaments trying to
break the top 100. The scores
were very high, the two area
lads needing 96 percent 'to
place in the top 110.

Jones and Morrison are in-
debted to the Armed Forces
for their experience this sum-
mer. The government paid
for their trip and equipment.
Shooting is a very expensive
sport.
The civilians who entered
Bisley were "very posh but
friendly". Jones was impress-
ed with the class of his fellow
competitors, "they go for
prestige, shooting isn't a
money sport" referring to the
lack of big prize money.
The cadets enjoyed two
weeks travelling around
England, Germany and
France before returning to
Ottawa for the Canadian
championships. The Cana-
dian team won, defeating the
British cadets who had been
victorious on . their home
range.
Both Morrison and Jones
learned a great deal overseas.
National pride and self-
confidence were instilled.
Jones said "I feel good inside
when I say I'm representing
my country."
The shooting team was
given special treatment
everywhere. Speaking ex-
uberantly about their treat-
ment,'Jones said "they love
us Canadians".
However the formality and
discipline became tiresome,
especially after a day of con-
centrated shooting. Morrison
felt the greatest thing he
learned was good manners
and how to speak properly.
Both would love to go again,
but one can only be a member
of the Bisley team once. They
encourage young Canadians
to join cadets as there are
many free travelling
opportunities.

Jones are the only cadets
from this area to achieve
shooting's ultimate competi-
tion; however Jones' advice
suits many goals in life: "If
you want it bad enough, you
can get it."
Greys, Jays
all tied up
in playoffs
The Exeter Greys and St.
Marys Blue Jays are all tied
up at two games apiece in the
district ladies fastball semi
final playoffs.
The fifth and deciding game
was played last night in Ex-
eter. The winner will meet
either Blanshard or Mitchell
in the league finals.
The Exeter -St. Marys
series has been close from the
very first game. St. Marys
took the first and third games
by scores of 7-6 and 11-7 while
the Greys rebounded on win
games two and four by scores
of 4-3 and 13-5.
