Curl- ing is definitely a "no -news" item south of the Mason- Dixon line. Actually, it's amawing how few people, apart from curlers themselves, seem to know anything of the sport One Floridian I spoke to thought it was "such a rough sport!" (No. That's hurling). A neighboring lady camper - from Chicago yet! - thought it was something te do with track racing. My dad once wrote to ask if we wore special skates. Seems hee' d s_em.,i µel3.e over="=e noinienA that the players seemed to slide along the ice so easily!! Well, back to the news.... I hear the New Year's Ev Party was the usual great success. —Thanks to the hard naturally speaking work of the social committee and, of course, the en- thusiasm of those partaking of . all the season's hospitalities...

When it does, however, it's going to rattle shooters right down to their toes. Rifle ammuni- tion for most big game calibers runs about 75c a round at present and with the expected increases, it could easily reach ;len doesn't take long to figure out that reloading your own is a good idea. Building your own ammunition is not difficult, but it does require some degree of patience and concentra- tion. The different steps must be taken carefully and frequent inspections made of the cases. Apart from that, the rest is relatively simple. If you do decide to start reloading, try to avoid the common fault theta lot of beginners fall into. It seems that every reloader starts trying to pack 'as much powder as possible into the cases to achieve maximum velocity. It is, of course, well known that maximum velocity and optimum accuracy seldom if ever go together. If you stick to loads that are close. to factory published results, you'll be better off in the long run. The other thing to do is develop one load for whichever bullet weight and style you prefer and stick to it. Just about all the reloading columns you read in gun magazines talk continuously about experimenting. with different bullet weights and shapes and different powders and charges. This is fine for the avid shooter who is on the range constantly and is looking for that ultimate load that will print ten shots in one hole. What generally happens to the averageshooter, however, is that be winds up with a whole mixed bag of bullets and powders, and -before long is so mixed up himself, that he doesn't know where the next shot is going. With one combination, the shooter can become completely familiar with it and know how it will perform over a variety of distances. A good loading manual is a real necessity and no one should start reloading without it. I think that every bullet company that produces reloading components also puts out a manual that has been researched especially for their product. The different powders have been tested extensively to produce maximum results for each of their different bullet types. The manuals also give you a complete rundown on the steps for reloading as well as a good idea of what equipment is available. They also usually include a lot of informa- tion about the history of handloading and describe in detail what NOT to do. if you're even remotely con- sidering reloading, the $8. to $10 investment in a manual should be your first consideration. +++ This light fluffy deep snow is very hard on wikilfe, but the really hard times are still to come. Eventually, we'll get a thaw and that's when the real problems will set in. Deer especially will be hit hard by free running dogs. This, situation usually occurs in the spring, but with the depth of snow we have now, any crust forming on top can be lethal. I wouldn't even be surprised to find that deer are even "yarded up", a situation that is not very common in Southern Ontario. With the crust on the top, dogs can run over it, while deer break through with each step. The best way to avoid this, of course, is to keep dogs tied or kennelled, but people refuse to do this. The result is that the Ministry winds up shooting dogs t1iaiare only doing what is natural for them. The unfor- tunate thing is that nature is not very pretty. Dogs are not efficient killers, and they end up working at a deer till it either bleeds to death or dies of shock. As is usually the case, people are to blame in the end. Please, keep your dog tied if a crust forms, especially if he's a wanderer, and give the deer a chance. es TRACTOR KITS • 5TH WHEELS • BULK O u.

For play offs Stangs are on the line By Bryan Marriage The Clinton Mustangs split their weekend games with a 4-3 loss at home to Kincar- dine last Friday and an 6-4 victory over Fergus on Sun- day. The Mustapgs failed to gain ground on Kincardine as the Kinucks won all three of their games on the weekend. The Hanover Barons lead the Mustangs by four points, but the Stangs have a game in hand. The biggest game of the season for the Mustangs was played Tuesday night in Clinton against the Barons. Results of that game were not available at press time; but a Clinton loss would force the Stangs to win their remaining five games and -the. Hanover Barons would `have to -lose at ' least two of their remainipg four games. Last Friday night's game in Clinton was a fast skating contest as the Kinucks scored the opening goal and the Stangs tied it on a goal by Willy Denomme, but the ,Kinucks scored the go ahead goal late in the period. The Kinucks moved ahead 4-1 on two second period power play goals as the Stangs failed to score in the second period. The Mustangs dominated the third period as Brad Arm- strong scored and then Steve Arbour tallied to pull the Stangs within one. But the Stangs failed to get the equalizer as Ken Doucette, the Kinuck goaltender, turned the Stangs down to end the game 4-3. On Sunday the Mustangs travelled to Fergus to play the Green Machine and scored four unanswered third period goals to beat Fergus_8- ........ .._ -._ Fergus opened the scoring early in the period, but Greg Hallam tied the game and Greg Flowers gave Clinton the lead before the first period ended.
