Clinton advanced to the "C" division final against Lambeth by beating Norwich 8-1, St. Clements 4-0 and their biggest win against Seaforth in a 2-1 victory. During the regular season Clinton had been only able to manage two ties and three close losses against Seaforth. The Peewees came up with one of their best efforts of the season in disposing of Seaforth to advance to the championship game. The players and coaches of the Clinton Peewees would like to thank all the parents and spectators who supported the team over the season, especially to those who travelled to Goderich to cheer them on. Congratulations boys you represented the Town of Clinton in fine fashion! t - + Turning to the National Hockey League, the playoffs are finally here and there are some interesting match - ups. Toronto vs. Minnesota - This series should go to Minnesota simply because they have a more plentiful supply of talent. It will go down to the wire with goaltending being the decisive factor. St. Louis vs. Chicago - There's no love lost between these two clubs as both clubs demonstrated in there two weekend meetings. The Blues have been on a skid for the past three months and Chicago has been playing superb hockey in capturing first place in the Norris Division. The Black -Hawks should sweep the series in three games. Quebec vs. Boston - This series should feature a classic battle between Boston's excellent defense and Quebec's strong fire-power. Boston has one thing to worry about - the Stastny brothers and Michel Goulet. They represent most of Quebec's offence. Boston didn't place first in the over-all standings for nothing. Give the series to the Bruins in four games. .uffalo vs. Montreal - Both of these clubs employ a fast -skating style of play that should prove to be ex- citing to watch. Montreal should come out on top and are due for a good performance in the playoffs. The Canal'ens home -ice advantage will be a key to this series. NY Rangers vs. Philadelphia - If the Flyers don't take the Rangers seriously look for an upset in this series. Both these clubs have the capability to go a long way in the playoffs. Philadelphia looks strong this season but their rookie netminding looks suspect. The Flyers should take the series bet it won't be in three straight. Washington vs. NY Islanders - A lot of people are saying the Capitals are the black horse team to win the Stanley Cup this season. I don't buy it. The Islanders are too strong to bow out in the first round. Home -ice to the Islanders in this series should be enough to seal victory for them. Winnepeg vs. Edmonton - There should be no sur- prise here as Gretzky and his crew are too offensive for Winnepeg's weak defense. Look for a three game sweep in this series. Vancouver vs. Calgary - This should be an even match up with both team playing a tight -checking type of series. Vancouver's trip to the Stanley Cup playoffs last year won't be repeated this year. Look for the Ernes to burn a hole in the Canucks Cup bid. 1 The Clinton Figure Skating (Tub wound up its season on March 26 with an impressive carnival. More than ^:4 skaters took part an the two-hour per- formance Music, Music, Music. The show was brought together through the efforts of club professionals Brenda and Margaret Dupee, Carol Wheeler and Guy Gordon. Skaters from all levels took part in the show which emphasized all kinds of music through the ages, from the Roaring '20s to Star Wars, from the polka to disco. Young skaters Cindy Carter, Chris Fox, Kara Freeman, Kara Hiltz, Jody Lloyd Venner Vete By Rod Hilts With the increased number of hunters in the woods these days it would make sense that the number of wildlife would be down significantly. Not so, according to veteran hunter Lloyd Venner of Hensall. This year Mr. Venner, 77, has trapped over 450 muskrats, an increase off about 150 over past years. "There's more muskrat now than there were 15 years ago. I can't figure it out," said Mr. Venner. He also says there is an abundance of raccoons this year but that there "are still more muskrats" in the area. Mr. Venner has been hunting for 68 years and concentrates mainly on trapping raccoon, muskrat and mink. He sets about 50 traps and checks them once a day. He hunts in Sta ey, Hay, Tuck ersmith and Hibbert Townships and has the permission of over 125 farmers to hunt on their properties. "No farmer has ever turned me down, I've hunted on farms as small as 50 acr%s and as big as 1,111 acrei, said Mr. Venner. According to Mr. Venner the reason for the increased number of hunters is because of the price of furs. "Some fellows trap only when the price is high. I trap all the time just for the en- joyment it gives me," he Ball Hockey League to open soon The Clinton Recreation Committee is initiating a Ball Hockey League that is expected to be starting in the first week of May. There is going to be three age groups involved. There will be a league for 10,11 and 12 year-olds, one for 13, 14 and 15 year-olds and one for those over the age of 16. Each age group will play once a week with all games being played at the Clinton Arena. The two younger groups have not had a night picked yet but the 16 and over group will be playing on Thursday nights. Everyone must register by filling in a registration form to be found in this edition of the News -Record. More registration forms can be obtained at the arena. The deadline for these ap- plications is April 22. The only equipment needed to play is a helmet, gloves, running shoes and a stick with no tape The games will consist of four 15 minute' quarters of straight time. The rules will be the same as regular hockey and will be governed by two referees. The registration fee is $10 for the younger age groups and $20 for the over 16 age group.

Armed with a 12-guage Browning shot gun, Mr. Venner is a perfect example of a man who hunts for the sheer enjoyment of the sport, not for bucks that are made through hunting. "As soon as I could walk I began trapping. I do it to put in time. I can walk as good now as 1 could 60 years ago," laughs Mr. Venner. Aside from his daily hunting Mr. Venner is an active member of the Kippen Gun Club, which opens its ranges on May 1. He is also a very talented horse-shoe pitcher.
