While the big attraction
at Flarnboro Downs on
Sunday afternoon was the
three-year-old Strike out
Colt Hot Hitter winning
the Confederation Cup
Pace in 1:57.3, new
records were also being
set by one of our area
drivers and a locally
raised pacing mare.
Randy McLean of
Goderich had his first two
minute winning ride
when he gave the
Newport Duke pacer
Fossil Ridge a new
lifetime record of 1:58.4
in the seventh. Owner
Brian .Hodgson of London
was second to Kintore
Lady with this horse in
. the Ron Feagan
Memorial Pace at '
Goderich on August 9.
Miss Sadie's Pride, a
five-year-old mare by
er Ieats
Skippy's Pride C from
Fred (Pete) Fowler's
broodmare Sadie Bars
took a 2:00 record with
Bill 13udd on.the bike for
her present owner ,,Ed
Matheson of St. Marys.
Raised near Londesboro,
Miss Sadies Pride is a
half-sister to the well-
known pacers Miss Belle
Bars 2:04.3, Alan Dale
2:05, Shadow Bars 2:06.1,
Victor H. Volo 2:09.1 and
Bucky H. Volo 2:14.1.
Whilesome of the large
farms can come up with
performers of this kind, it
is nice to see the owners
with only one or two
brood mares have so
much success. From 26
starts in 1979, Miss Sadies
Pride has had seven wins,
one second and one third
for earnings of $10,624
already this year and
$14,905 lifetime. As far as

There should be plenty
of interest in the. Ladies
Central Huron Softball
playoff championships
scheduled to take place
this week as two Clinton
teams battle for the top
position and the play-off
trophy in the league.
The Clinton Sluggers
and the Clinton
Housewives will open the
playoffs tonight (Thui•-
sday) at a 8:30 pm at the
Clinton Community Park.
The Sluggers finished

speaking
?...Big game hunters know only too well the value
and safety in wearing,a blaze orange vest or cap
during the hunting season. Exhaustive tests have
shown that blaze orange is the one colour that
really does show up in the, bush in the fall. The
traditional red and black check is not very plain
under the best of conditions, let alone during
drizzly weather or during the dawn and dusk
periods.
Many states in the U.S. require that hunters
wear a minimum of square inches of blaze
orange while in the bush. Most of those states
report that accidental shooting fatalities have
dropped to zero with the implementation of the
law. While it's not law in Ontario, I would not
hesitate to recommend that every hunter pur-
• chase a good vest to wear over clothing while
hunting. And I wouldn't just advise it for big
game hunting either.
A blaze orange cap or vest worn while hunting
rabbits in a cedar swamp will let you keep track
of where your partners are and let them do the
same with you. If you're grouse hunting in'thick
upland cover, you'll starid out for any other
hunter in the area and of course, with the large
influx of hunters into the bush during deer or
moose season,. it would be insane to venture out
without blaze orange on. •
....
Vests are available at almost any sporting
goods store, and range from simple, plastic
setups which sell for around the $2 mark to
elaborate shooting vests made from Ten Mile
Cloth that feature pockets with shell loops, game
pouch, etc. and sell for around $40. If you're in
the market for a new hunting coat this fall, take a
long look at the selection in Simpson's catalogue.
Among the usual coats are a couple made from
this famous "Ten Mile Cloth" that is a bright
blaze orange and is "quiet" in the bush. If you do
a lot of hunting, they may be well worth con-
sidering. •
There are exceptions to every rule of course,
and wearing blaze orange is no different. Duck
hunters would not have much luck sticking out
like a sore thumb and the same goes for
bowhunters and varmint callers. Camouflage is
the only answer here, and the better it is the
more luck you'll have. For the rest of your
hunting, however, safety should be the word of
the day and blaze orange on the top of your list.

I went bass fishing last weekend and learned
something new. The weather did not co-operate
with us at all and although it didn't rain much,
the wind blew constantly day,and night. Surface
lures proved to be totally useless with the chop
on the water, so I started working through my
tackle box. While I was going fishless, my fishing
partner, guide and long time friend, Dr. John
Miles Was hauling them in hand over fist. I
finally broke down and asked him what he was
using. The answer was simple, a yellow Mr.
Twister *jig with spinner worked deep with a
jerking retrieve. He offered to let me give it a try
and soon I was in business as well. My tackle box
now has a couple of these jigs tucked away in it.
The point I'm trying to make is don't get stuck .
with" one pattern. I'd basically become so used to
using surface lurefor bass, 1 was reluctant to
try anything else. I wasted a lot of time fishing
the surface area when the fish were actually
lying on the bottom. The complete opposite of
what you are accustomed to is often what works
on those off days. The next time yoterelishing
and nothing seems to work, try something
radically different --- it may just be the answer.

them a final record of 13

finished with a record of
12 wins and two losses.

anticipated to be full of

was mighty pleased that
C.P. Dirzen took a new

Coonie had no problem winning the prize as the
most unusual pet at the Country Fair held in
Vanastra on the weekend. But the four -month-old
racoon was not impressed by the honor given him
and seemed more interested in visiting lother
ompetitors in the pet show, specifically the dogs
and one lone cat. Coonie's mistress, Karen Gonie of
Vanastra, was -required to sit a distance away from
