Seaforth curling club
Two large bonspiels at
the Seaforth Curling Club
last week kept the ladies'
division busy organizing
the catering and the
bonspiel participants
happy with the fruits of
their labours.
The Farmers Open
Spiel sponsored by
McGavin Farm Equip-
ment of Walton was a
great success midweek
with a full complement of
8 rinks on each of the two
draws. Following the
completion of three, eight -
end games per draw, Neil
McGavin was on hand to
present prizes to those
amassing the highest
number of points.
First place in the early
draw went to the team.
skipped by Rev. Ken
Innes, with Orville
Bower, vice; Jim
Bowerman, second and
Doug Hemmingway,
lead. Second place went
to Ken Moore's team
skipped by Dave
Tremeeer with Eric
McIntosh second and
Mert Keyes and Ken
Smith who took over as.
second on the final game.
Third was Gord Pryce,
Neil DoImage, Paul
Storey and Rieney Van
Loon. The consolation
prize went to Gerry
Hetherington, Bob
'Wilson, Brian Newnham
and Gerry Lobb.
The winning team of
the second draw were
also declared overall
winners for the day. This
was the Ross Lovett team
skipped by Bob Wilson
with Bill Lobb, vice and
Bill Fleming, second.
Prizes for second spot
Off the broom
By Drusilla Twynham
If someone had told me
two years ago that I'd be
scratching around every
week for some curling
news to. write for the
newspaper, I'd have
laughed heartily. For
starters, I did not curl,
didn't know anyone who
did, and hadn't even the
vaguest notion of how the
game was played.
However 'Tempora
mutantur, nos et
mutamur in illis' (as they
say at the Legion) . I am
now a member of a
curling club and an
avid, if somewhat in-
different, curler. It oc-
curs to me that
somewhere in this area
there may be others who
would enjoy the game,
but do not play. This may
be simply because they
are new to the district
and as yet not familiar
with the available
facilities; or don't have
the brass to break-in
because, . perhaps, they
look upon a club as a kind
of "closed shop". Maybe,
as a second year rookie, I
can help dispell " these
notions and entice a few
would-be curlers to "join
the club".
For a rank beginner
like myself, the only
advice I can give on
learning to -`curl is to
"have a go" (as they say
over 'ome). The theory
behind curling is
relatively simple but I
have no intention of
going into any further
explanation. I certainly
am not qualified on that
score, and would tend to
confuse the beginner
even more. However, I do
think it fair to ' warn
prospective curlers of the
weight of the curling
stone; some 40 pounds,
which can come as rather
a shock to anyone as
unprepared as I was!
Also, at the start, it is
easy to become over-
whelmed by such terms
as: 'the hack', 'hog line',
'T -line', 'an out -turn', 'an
in -turn', 'off the broom',
'draw weight', 'heavy',
'catch a wick', 'through
the house', and so on. One
can only resolve not to
waste too much time
trying to assimilate what
it all means; It will sink in
in time - believe me. Just
get on with thegame!
The awesome sight of
two, maybe three,
son)etimes even four
frantically sweeping
team members sliding
ahead of the rock canAbe
very disconcerting to a
newcomer. I must say
this in itself all but
stunted my early en-
thusiasm for the sport. I
was quite certain I would
never learn to sweep,
slide or stay out of the
path of my fellow
sweeper. However, much
to my amazement, after
some advice and a little
perseverence, I soon lost
my initial nervousness.
My advice - if you can't
keep tip, keep clear! Get
out of the way - fast! It
will come with practice.
It has been pointed out to
me that it can take five
years or so to become a
curler of any note. I hope
so. I rely on this vital
piece of information
constantly to justify my
mistakes.
Most beginners receive
a lot .of help and en-
couragement from fellow
club members. 1 know I
did and still do. Curling is
a game of etiquette as
well as skill, and there is
a high degree of good. -
sportsmanship evident
amongst most par-
ticipants. This can
overlap onto the social
side of the proceedings
too. One 'off -ice' custom
seems to be that of a
winner buying a loser a
drink. Quite a consolation
for losing a game I
always thought - until I
discovered the loser is
expected to buy the
second round! Something
to be taken into con-
sideration by a newcomer
to the district is that
curling is a good way to
make new friends as well
as getting a certain
amount of exercise at the
same time, both of which
we all need.. Since most
clubs have ladies',, men's
or mixed teams, it is just
as easy for a single
person to join as a couple.
Sociability also extends
to the curling bonspiels.
These usually -run for one
or two days, and are a
great way to get to meet
curlers from other clubs,
watch a few different
styles, and have an en-
joyable day out at the
same time. -

went to Roy Pennington,
Mery McKay, Keith
Elston and Bill Sellars.
Third was Gerald Smith
skip with Jim
Mulwhinney, Mac Engals
and Paul Dixon. The
consolation went to Roy
Beuerman, Ray
Hilebrecht, Maynard
Hoegy and Ralph
Siemens.
On Saturday the
Toronto -Dominion Bank
held their 19th annual
bonspiel hosting 64
curlers and 11 additional
dinner guests. Teams
were all made up of Bank
employees with rinks
from Wingham, Mitchell
and St. Marys in at-
tendance as well as from
further afield. Dick Kirk
skipped the winning team
with Ross Fraser, Peter
Wright and Frank
McDermott. A good day
was enjoyed by all
curlers and no doubt
they'll all be back next
year for the 20th an-
niversary.
A ladies' team skipped
by Ann Cunningham,
'Lorene Denomme, vice;
Donna Wood, second and
Joyce Hilderley, lead,
travelled to Wingham on
February 28. They
recorded a one win, one
loss game score and
enjoyed the sumptuous
surroundings of the
Wingham Club facilities.
Teams will be off
'aspieling' during the
' next week to bonspiels at
Mitchell, St. Marys,
Listowel, Milverton and
Ottawa. Good curling to
all!
The first round of the
Governor-General
Tankard play -downs will
be held in Goderich on
Sunday next. There is one
and possibly two teams
entered from the Seaforth
Club.
The last major bonspiel
on the Seaforth Calendar
is upcoming this
Saturday March 10th.
This is the popular mixed
open sponsored by
Fleming Feed Mills of
Clinton. Get your aprons
out again ladies!
Seven students from area high schools gave their
winning speeches on Friday night at the Oddfellows
sponsored United Nations speak -off. The speakers
included, front row, left to right, Wendy Kloss,
Grade 11, Seaforth; Rick Kloss, Grade 10, Seaforth;
Marilyn Cox, Grade 11, GDCI. Back row, Margaret
Conlon, Grade 10, GDCI; Aileen Underwood, Grade
10, Wingham; Rosemary de Boer, Grade' 10,
Wingham; Tanya de Groot, Grade 10, Clinton.
Aileen Underwood, the winner will spend 10 days
observing the United Nations activities. Margaret
Conlon was the runner-up. (News -Record photo)
Recreation news in other towns
The Mitchell Advocate
reported that the
recreation committee
there is considering the
formation of a Recreation
Advisory Council.
The proposed council.
would give recreation in
Mitchell a united voice.
Some people are however
concerned about the
effects the new council
could have on the
economics of each club
that would be taken in by
the group.
The Advocate ex-
plained that at one point
it was suggested that a
recreation director be
brought in to advise the
recreation committee on
the proposal. The
recreation committee
said they would take this
into consideration.

few students respected
me, especially when they
could get me off the track
of the lesson and talking
about real life. A few girls
fell in love with me for
periods as long as six
weeks.
But one can only hold
his thumb in the dyke for
so long. No pun intended.
They overcome you by
sheer numbers.
Today, when a teacher
walks down the hall, he
no longer feels like Mr.
Chips. He feels more like
a referee at a boxing
match, as he darts in,
trying to break up a
clinch in which one of the
participants is in danger
of being strangled. By a
tongue.
One of my students,
Grade 9, wears across the
not -inconsiderable chest
of her T-shirt the legend,
"No Browsing."
And perhaps that's why
a dozen teachers have
died young, in their 30s
and 40s, whi'it, and threele coIlleaguesvebeen
at
at time of writing, like in
the intensive care ward of
the hospital, witk heart
attacks. Not 'an old
person among the lot.
Perhaps I'll join them one
of these -days, and we
could play bridge, flat on
our backs.
Or does anyone have a
job for an old editor who
would trade 160 kids a
day for a 60 -hour week,
with one week's
holidays?
