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. 14selmegimanigsimorammoommtmoile Rob Stovel,left, who received the most impfeVed. trophy /tom BryailVidrittge, was just one of the many award, winners at the Clinton ' hockey -Mustangs Fatquerla-st-Saturdar tight. Ste story for other winners. (News -Record photo) ' sports 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.
