That as why it's a good idea to prepare a -forehand for it and be ready with a project to work on. Even if it's just giving your guns a good cleaning, it's important that you have all the materials needed at hand- If the weather is too d to hunt, it's usually too dirty to be running around looking for patches, oil, or Hoppes No. 9. Be prepared, as the Boy Scout saying goes. Remington has introduced a new light -well:: t rifle which should provide some stiff competition for Win- chester's Featherweight. This riffle, named the Model Seven, is of excellent design, and weighs in at just 64,4 fnds. It is ,•,•und to ,a come a favorite of bolt action ns who have alwgys wanted a fast handling short brush gun. The action is unmistakably Remington, but carries sone innovative new features. One point which is im- mediately noticeable is the cover piece extending from the receiver over the forward part of the bolt. This sur- rounds the front end of the bolt with a complete circle of metal, serving as a bolt guide to give smoother, more positive bolt travel. The steel floor plate allows for fast easy cartridge removal and is incorporated with a steel trigger guard. This feature in itself makes it much more attractive than the space age plastic that was used on their 600-660 series. The safety is a "two - position" type which allows the bolt to be opened while on "safe" facilitating easy unloading. Other features include a machine turned bolt and a recessed follower that does not contact the bolt during its travel. The bolt handle has a smooth, oval-shaped knob, and it, along with all other metal parts, sport a high polish with dark, deep lustre blueing. The barrel is a fast handling 181/2 inches, and is tapered for good looks and light weight. The stock as well is newly designed, returning more to that Classic European style which is starting to show up on fine rifles again today. The stock dimensions are a bit straighter than the average centerfire rifle, creating a sleeker appearance, but even more impor- tant, combining with the shorter overall length to create a very quick mounting, fast pointing rifle. The cut checkering (none of that stamped stuff here) at 18 lines per inch wraps completely around the fore end, as well as decorating the pistol grip. At the front, the fore end curves into a graceful Schnabel type tip which adds class to any rifle. The finish is a medium gloss, satin sheen, which gives the appearance of a much fondled oil rubbed stock. The butt is finished off with a brown, hard rubber recoil pad. The Model Seven is a short action rifle, and is chambered for the .222 Rem., .243 Win., 6 mm Rern., 7 mm -08 Rem., and the .3f'1 Winchester. I'm sere that if the rifle catches on and the demand is there, we will see it chambered for cartridges in the 30-06 class in the near future. Duck hunters! A newly developed shotgun shell will soon be available to you! Remington is introducing a new line of shotgun shells branded `Premier", which incorporate all of the new developments and innova- tions discovered over the past few years. All the Premier line will feature "Copper-Lokt" shot which is Remington's trademark designation for its specially hardened, extra round, copper -plated shot. Combined with their famous power piston shot cup wad, deformation of the pellets should be kept to a minimum producing denser, more evenly distributed shot patterns. iI rat, the new Extended Range I:.offer Ma i ums will go even farther. The antimony harden- ed, copper -plated shot will be protected even more by the ad lion of a granulated polypropylene filler. Rem- ington claims that this combination will add 15 yards of "extended pattern effectiveness' to regular magnums. It sounds like a dream come true doesn't it? , em - on plans to introduce this new line in the US early in ' ;: ,, so with any luck, it will be on our shelves by the time the fall season rolls around. I doubt if you'll find it just anywhere, however, so keep your eyes open and if you spot some, grab it quick. *I Indoor soccer yR Hilts On January 22 the Western Ontario Indoor Soccer League (OISL) began its schedule at the Ontario Arena at the Western Fairgrounds in London. Five Clinton area men are playing for the St. Columban squad in the 11 team league. They are: Alex Harrett, Brian Kennedy, Sean Van Dongen, Billy Tugwell and Brian Newington. The games are played on a regulation size hockey surface that is covered with astro turf. There are four 12 minute quarters with a three minute halftime break. The season consists of 11 games and a playoff series to decide a champion. J St. Columban won its first game of the season by beating Croatia 8-5. After scoring the first goal of the game St. Columban found themselves trailing 3-1 following one quarter of play. They quickly got their act together by scoring three straight goals to pull ahead 4-3 at halftime. The St. Columban crew continued to outhustle Croatia as they outscored the opposition 4-2 in the second half in posting a 8-5 victory. Billy Tugwell led the St. Columban attack with two goals with singles going to Alex Barrett.

Fit - Five is a fitness awards program offered by the Sports and Fitness Bruch of the Ministry of Tourism and Recreation, more commonly known as 'Fitness Ontario'. The program is designed to ease you into a more fit lifestyle. It consists of five in- dividual program levels. Level one will help make you aware of the many oppor- tunities you have daily, to perform physical activities- This level consists of 100 boxes in which you record your daily activities. Almost every physical activity applies. Things like walking, gardening, swimming, dancing, skating, hiking, canoeing, curling, or bowling as well as many others can be used. The subsequent levels contain increas- ing numbers of boxes. As you complete each level you receive a 'Certificate of Recogntion' for your effort. When you finish the fifth level you receive, along wash your certificate, a Fitness Ontario logo pin. The pin can be worn on the lapel of your favorite jacket and is evidence that you are developing a path to ,• rsonnal fitness. Just recently, this program was adopted by the students and staff of Kincardine and District Secondary School in the form of a Fit -Five Club. The club was designed to operate fitness events, like clinics on strength training, stress, and weight con- trol, as well as to provide opportunities for members to participate in physical ac- tivities. Members have the opportunity to engage in group activities or to enjoy an in- dividual approach to fitness. The project has been quite successful with approx- imately 85 people completing level one in the first two months of operation.

Arena o f f ical open in June SEAFORTH-The date for the official opening of the new Seaforth and District Community Centre has been set for June 4, a little earlier than originally planned. Councillor Irwin Johnston reported at Seaforth council "the building is booked so solid that all the other dates were filled. Every other Saturday but one over the next five months has been taken, centre board of management chairman Ken Campbell confirmed. "And another group was anxious for us to set a date so they could have the last Saturday left." Councillor Johnston said a reminder letter has gone out to a few people who have not paid their pledges to the arena fund, but Mr. Cam- pbell said there "won't be hardly anything out- standing" by the end of the month. Some unfilled pledges were for relatively small amounts, he said, while others have simply been forgotten and the reminder letter should bring them in. Ken Coleman, who's been named chairman of the official opening festivities, CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, WEDNESDAY. JANUARY llti 19113 PAGE 7 says two bands have already • en booked, one that will appeal to younger people and another for their elders. Two ' dances will be held on the evening of June 4, one on the ice surface and the other in the main hall. While plans aren't final yet, Mr. Coleman says an afternoon official opening, followed by a barbecue supper, is proposed. "We're open to ideas," he says, and service clubs will be asked if they are interested in organizing a parade or other celebrations.
