Every once in a while, an exceptionally good
outdoor look appears on the market and "The
Complete Hunter's Almanac" is, without a
doubt, one of the most concise and cora-
prehensive books on hunting ever written. The
author, Jerome J. Knap, is a man who knows
what he is writing about, and can put it down on
paper in an accurate, clear manner. The novice
hunter will find this book to be an indispensable
wealth of information and even the expert will
find himself referring to it on a regular basis.
The book is a full 284 pages long and covers
almost every aspect of hunting there is to know.
It is divided into three major sections for quick
reference and easy reading.
The first section, the Hunter, starts off with an
excellent explanation of how hunting and con-
servation walk hand in hand and describes how
the sportsman was and still is the most im-
portant factor in modern day conservation
practices. This section goes on to list and
describe the best choices in guns and am-
munition for all game from snipe and woodcock
up to the ferocious grizzly bear. It also describes
how you should properly go about sighting in a
rifle and how to pattern your shotgun.
Bowhunters will also find a good deal of in-
formation about their sport.
If you've ever wondered about what breed of
dog you should buy to match your style of hun-
ting, you'll probably find the answer here. What
gear you will need and the type of clothing
required is explained in this section as well as
how to plan your hunt. The chapter titled, "After
The Shot", gives a complete rundown of
procedures to follow in field dressing your
quarry to insure the meat reaches the table in
prime condition.
Part 11 is entitled, "The Game", and gives
detailed information on habits and habitat of all
game birds and animals on the North American
Continent. Hunting tips for each species are
included as well as recommended calibers and
guns.
Part 111 gives the reader a quick rundown on
game species available in every area of North
America. If you are planning a vacation in
Canada, the U.S. or Mexico, a quick look at this
section will tell you whether or not a little bit of
hunting can be included in your trip.
If you are wondering about a Christmas
present for someone who is a hunter, this ex-
cellent book should be on the top of your list.
Your local bookstore (or library) can order it for
you if they don't already have it on their shelves.
Just ask for "The Complete Hunter's Almanac"
by Jerome J. Knap. It is published by Pagurian
Press Limited, Suite 1106, 335 Bay St., Toronto, -
Ontario. The Library of Congress Catalogue
Card Number is 78-18115.

useful or as packed with informatiomas this.

Stangs take another victory
by Brian Marriage
Last Friday night in
Goderich, the second
place Port Elgin Bears
visited the Clinton
Mustangs, and a strong
third period by the Stangs
enabled them to skate off
with a convincing 8-6
victory.
The Mustangs
currently hold down third
place in Central OHA
Junior C action, behind
Kincardine Kinucks and
Port Elgin, but the Stangs
have a few games in
hand.
In last Friday night's
game, power play goals
seemed to be the answer
as ten of the goals scored
_were on power plays
while Port Elgin's first
goal was scored on a
penalty shot.
In the first period each
team scored twice as Bill
Lewis and Paul Helesic
were the Clinton
marksmen.
During the second
period, Port Elgin out-
scored the locals three
goals to two. Bill Lewis
scored his second of the
night and Mustang
scoring leader Tim
McLean notched the
other marker.
Port Elgin went ahead
early in the third period 6-
4 before the Stangs
roared back with four
straight goals to finish off
the Bears. Third period
goals for the Stangs were
scored by Bill Lewis, with
his third, Paul Helesic
with his second, and Phil
Arthur and Neil
Colquhoun with singles.
The Mustangs will be in
action again this weekend
with two home games,
that will be played in
Blyth. On Friday night,
starting at 9 p.m. the
Walkerton Black Hawks
will make their first
appearance of the season
and on Sunday at Blyth
again, the Port Elgin
Bears will make their
second appearance. This
game will start at 4:30
p.m. instead of an
evening appearance.
The Mustangs are
currently 6-1-2 in the
league and a pair of
weekend victories would
enable them to take over
second place and
challenge the Kinucks for
the lead.
