at's cur_' g anyway?
by Milo Leitch
Having spent the past
month enjoying what can
loosely be termer' as "spor-
ting activities", none of
which, lN►•1ever,wu'aGa•c'L'•
miwling, Pm having a tough
time this week gettiit back
to reporting the news. 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...
Ceo ,��aanalaibii s to vied
Pryce, Bill Lobb, Laurie
Fischer and Roy Beuerman
who were the overall win-
ners at Mitchell last
Thursday...
The round-robin playoff
for the pre -Christmas mixed
draw has resulted in the
trophy going to the team
skipped by Mute Thomas
with Sharon Wilson, Bruce
Coleman and Joan Beuer-
man. They defeated the
Dave Beattie rink made up
with Marjorie Papple, John
Moore and Claudia Eastman
who had previously
eliminated the `Wednesday -
niters' Don Deighton, Glen-
na Hodson, Jim -Barb Rose and
AAirerns..kde. -NoW HiQ
with the Sweetheart Draw._..
Bob and Sharon Wilson
with John and Isabelle
Moore enjoyed some good
curling at a Mixed Spiel in
Listowel last Saturday....
-:>inmimition prices are going up, but the increases
have not hit the stock on the shelves of sporting goods
stores as of yet. 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.

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. Fergus scored
the first two goals of the se-
cond period before Steve Ar-
bour tied the game for the
Stangs and -Greg Flowers
scored his second of the
night, but Fergus scored
once again to tie the game
late in the second period.
Steve Arbour scored his
second of the game early in
the third period and then
Willy Denomme, Mark
Rowe, and Paul Stavheason
all added insurance goals for
Clinton. The Mustangs next
home game will be played
next Monday night, January
19 against the Wingham
Ironmen at 8:30 p.m.
