•
With summer fast approaching, Many people
are dusting off. the old camping equipment and
starting to dream about the big outing they have
Planned. Very few people, however, consider the
possibility that they, or someone in their party,
May get lost while on this trip; yet every year
there are - Massive searches organized for
someone who has just happened to stroll away
• from, camp. While it is very easy to lose your way
in the bush, there are some simple precautions
that can be taken which will ensure your safe
return.
Getting lost in the southern part of the country
(around here) is not a very seripus situation as
most of the area is bisected by concession roads
and fences, If someone stumbles around long
enough, they will hit one,,pf these fences or roads
sooner or later giving them a line to 'follow.fo
civilization. The same technique in Northern
Ontario can be dangerous if not downright fatal.
Someone once told me that if you ever got
hopelessly lost in the northern bush, just start a
forest fire and you'd soon be surrounded by fire
fighting crews. You might, however, also be
surrounded by blazing trees, and if You have the
matches, you 'can usually spend several com-
fortable nights in the bush waiting for rescue.
The best way to become unlost, however, is to
have some idea where you are going and what
landmarks to watch for to guide yOu. BEFORE
you start out.
It is a well known fact that most neophytes, as
soon as they realize they are lost, head out in a
pell mell fashion in whatever „direction happens
to provide for the easiest travel. It is this ten-
dency which makes it possible for professional
rescue teams to find people before it is too late. A
g.00d -example would be someone -lost on -the -side ----
of a mountain._Theoretically, that person could
be anywhere "on or oVei-;-t-hat mountain, but the
easiest way to travel fast is "down", .even if it is
the wrong direction. Therefore, the bulk of the
search would be conducted below .where the
person was last thought to be, allowing the
rescuers to concentrate manpower in the area of
highest probability. _
So, what do you do if you are lost? First of all,
did you take the time to look at a map to see that
in this area, streams run east and west, a chain
of lakes runs across the northern end of your
area and a major highway runs north and south?
If you did, or if you all gottogether the night
before and discussed it over the campfire, you
probably .aren't in too bad of shape. You know
that if you find the highway you'rehome free, so
all you have to do is locate a stream to give you
an east west direction or watch the sun in the late
afternoon. Even if it's overcast, - you can
generally locate the approximate position of the
sun by looking for a faint shadow.
Just about everyone wears a wrist watch, and
if you remember how sundials work, you'll
realize that you have a pretty good compass
,right there. Just place a small twig in the center
,of the dial,line the shadow up with the hour hand
and the 12 on the dial will be pointing north. This
is also a good way to check the accuracy of that
compass you suddenly don't trust.
If you follow that old adage, "don't panic",
you'll be out again before you know it. Our
civilized eye and ear will often record things
without actually registering them. People have
been lost within a mile of a major highway,
where the hum of traffic was quite distinct. They
were hearing it, but it was such a familiar sound,
they weren't registering what it meant. Even
when you think you're deep in the bush, if you
stop and listen closely for a while'cliances are
you can detect the roar of heavy trucks on the
nearest highway. It's surprising just how far that
sound will carry.
Something else you might try is heading for a
high point in the immediate area. By slowly
scanning the horizon, chances are you'll spot
smoke from a factory, a distinct haze over an
industrial area or a radio tower of some sort.
Unless you're talking about the most northern
reaches of the province (where you shouldn't be
without the proper preparations anyway), the
signs of civilization are quite distinct.
If you ever find you are lost, use your head
instead of your feet. Sit down, think things put,
and by the time you formulate a plan, chances
are you'll realize that you aren't really lost after
all. Instead of the tragedy, it could of turned into,
it will just be an incident that you can laugh
about.

Soccer starts on a good foot
Soccer season got
underway again for 11
Clinton and area boys on
Saturday, April' 19th. A
team of bantams hastily
put together by Tony Van
Dongen, took part in the
London indoor soccer
tournament held at
Wolsley Barracks.
The boys first game
was against the reigning
,Ontario champions and
last year's beaten
Canadian finalists,
London's Forest City.
Before starting the game
the Clinton boys faced
laughter and such
remarks as , "when we
knew Clinton Were
playing we just cracked
up" ands"what's a, bunch
of farmers doing in this
tournament?"
But before the day was
out, it was the Clinton
boys who were laughing.
In the first game, goals
by Billy Tugwell and
Colin Alexander earned a
tie with the Ontario
champs, and the boys
were unlucky not to win
as they had most of the
play.
In their next game
against Mississauga it
was a see -saw battle,
with each 'team in turn
holding the lead. Finally
a penalty shot by Greg
Ryan put them in front to
stay. Other scorers in
their 5 - 3 victory were
Karl Krotmer with 2, Jeff
Denomme - 1, and Dave
Murray - 1.
In the game against St.
Catharines, the eventual
winnerof the com-
petition, the boys lost 2 - 1
but only because of some
poor officiating. Spec-
tators and officials were
amazed when two good
goals by Brad Forbes hd
Sean -Van Dongen were
disallowed. But the boys
didn't let this upset them.
The lone scorer of the
game was Karl Krohmer.
In their final game, the
boys came right back
with a win over Oakville 2
-1 on goals by Colin
Alexander and Brad
Forbes. The Clinton team
-11
missed the final because
the St. Catharines team
had less goals scored
against them, even
though both teams had
two wins, one tie and one
loss for five points each.
