have just come on the market and promisedto
give you a bit Of a rundown on them,. Well, here it
is. r
Anyone who has done any camping at- all will
recognize the Coleman name for the fine
products they Manufacture and they have done it
Again With; a a truly portable gas barbecue.
Something we can alt be proud of is t1x. fact that
the 'barbecue is completely Canadian in concept,
design and manufacture, and in my opinion, is
likely to find a place beside many a tent this
summer. It can be used With a pOrtableAtand-or
can be placed directly on the ground or on a
piCnic table and can be purchased with a choice
.of fuel systems. For those of you who already
own a Coleman stove or lantern, the model that
runs on naptha gas (Coleman fuel) will probably
be of the most interest or you can go with the
outfit that most
disposable propane cylinders.
Either way you'll have a great little setup that

Shakespeare is another name that is well-
known in the outdoor world for the excellent
fishing equipment it handles and this year it is
going to be even better known. For the first time
that I know of, the fisherman is going to have a
top quality telescopic rod available to him. I've
.had the opportunity to examine the first of these
rods in Canada and plan on purchasing one as
soon as they become available (probably
sometime in August). Telescopic rods to date
have generally been of the cheaper variety and
have not, in my experience, proved to be very
durable or had good action. The ones I've seen
from Shakespeare are going to change all that.
These rods are limber, have aluminum oxide
eyes, telescope up to about 16 inches in length
and should be strong enough to handle any fish
short of a whale. They may not replace two piece
rods for things like down-rigging,'but just think
how convenient they will be for putting your gear
away in a car trunk, b,ackpack or even a drawer
back home. If you're thinking of buying a new
rod this year, you'll be well advised to wait a bit
and take a good look at -these telescopic. wonders.
Zebco also has a new outfit on the market that
— will appeal to both -the- beginner and the pro,
alike. It's an all new closed face spinning reel
and rod in an ultralight size that makes fishing a
lot of fun. If you're one of those people who can't
seem to master a conventional spinning reel, this
is the bab.y for you. It sits under the pole like a
spinning reel, has a closed_face like a spin cast
and works by just pressing a lever. I gave one a
+.,„ workout on an overgrown trout stream and found
it amazingly •easy to operate as well as being
very accurate to cast with. Next time you're in a
sporting goods store, ask if they have one y9u_
can take a tobk at. .If you're thinking of getting
into ultralight fishing, this would be a good place
to start.

With the newspapers full of stories about forest
fires in the north this year, I shouldn't have to
remind you about being careful with campfires. I
will caution you to be extra careful with
,cigarette butts, however, even if you're driving
in a car. Use your ash tray and be sure all butts
and matches are completely out.
If you are a student who hasn't managed to
land a summer job yet, I'm sure there are
openings on the fire line up north. The work is
• hard and exciting, the hours long and not overly
dangerous when working with an experienced
crew. If you are interested, the best thing you
could probably do is pack up a pair of steel toed
-safety boots, a goodStout pair of -Waking groves
and a sleeping bag and head for the areas where
there are fires. Start knocking on doors of
ministry of natural resources offices, and I bet it
won't be long before you find yourself on a
firebreak with an axe or shovel in your hand
somewhere in Ontario's bushland.

You May think as a golfer
you're good; -
But if footprints you

- Edgar Guest
• Edgar certainly hit the
nail on the! head when he
wrote that poem. If
picture is worth a
-thousand-, words, then a
poem must be worth the
same! Now 1 dotet have
to mention about divots,
sand traps and the like.
Edgar neglected to
mention ball marks pn
the green though, so I'll
just jog your memory.
Those plug marks caused
when the ball lands on the
green can easily be
repaired with a tee or
repair tool. Have
someone show you how
it's done. A fixed ball
mark can soon repair
itself, while an untended
mark can take several
days to heal. Golfers are
so concerned with the
condition of the greens

beats Clinton
by Brian Newington
On Saturday, May 24, the
Clinton Senior Soccer- Club
played their fourth league
game against Kincardine at
home. F`
The Kincardine team was
able to show its experience
over the fairly young Clinton
team and won an important
game for both teams by a 4-1
score.
Kincardine had another
advantage over Clinton in
that they had a few sub-
stitutes who were able to
relieve some players,
whereas Clinton had just
enough to make a team. On a
'day as warm as Saturday
was, it's nice to have.extras
to go in and replace tired„
players. This shortage
meant that Clinton players
,were becoming tired. 1
It resulted in Kincardine
scoring two goals in . the
second half to put the game
out of reach after a fairly
close first half. The., lone
Clinton goal was scored by
Kerry Johnston on a
beautiful setup by Brian
Kennedy on a corner kick.
Next Sunday (June 1) the
team travels to Port Elgin
for the first time. for. a 1A0
p.m. game. _
The team would like to
congratulate the C-.H.S.S.
senior boys' soccer team for
advancing to the W.O.S.S..A,
championships - with two
games this week -against .
'ondon Catholic Central.
Congratulations boys!
