R.J. Ready, owned by Bob

Henson, took a new lifetime
record of 2:04 when he trot-
ted to his third consecutive
win at Windsor Raceway on
Sunday night. His winning
streak started the previous
week with a 2:07,4 mile on
February 1st, followed by a
2:06.4 victory on February
4th.
Terry Kerr drove the five-
year-old horse by Ever

was raised at Clinton by
Doreen's father George F.
Elliott. Miss Bar Key is a

This is the third and concluding article on shotguns.
Another advantage of the pump shotgun is the inter-
changeability of barrels. For example, the pump
hunter may have a long full choked barrel he uses for
duck bunting, a.shorter open chocked barrel for upland
, game that is easy in thick brush, and a special slug bar-
• rel.equipped with sights that gives an effective 100 yd.
range big game rifle. The actions are sturdy, reliable
aril mot as sldtceptible Tia .powderliewder biding as some
selniautos are.
• The pump does have. some drawbacks; one of which
• is the longer overall length and weight involved. The
length of the act%n makes the gun several inches
longer overall when compared to single shots or
doubles which have the same barrel length. This may
' not bei a -concern to the duck hunter, but it can be
r disconcerting when dealing with grouse and woodcock
in the thick brush. The extra weight helps to dampen
to effect of recoil, but not to the extent a gas operated
4Utoloadertloe& —.. _ ... _ ..w.. _ .. ,.: _.•
If you are having trouble deciding between a pump
or- an autoloader, and recoil is on your mind, by all
Meant go for one of the gas operated semi automatics.
Semis generally have all the attributes of the pumps
as far as Choke devices and barrel interchangeability
go: sand the same drawbacks regarding length, but
whenit comes to felt recoil, they win hands down. Both
the recoil operated and the gas piston types result in
less recoil because part of the energy that creates the
felt recoil is 'transferred to operating the action.
Although rare,°thiscancause problems in:feeding if the
gas ports are not cleaned regularly
j►or. if there is .too
sniuch oil in the 1
m impress on you that these bum ¢ARE RARE,
buttheyCAlihappen. • •
The one trap. you must avoid falling into when con-
sidering the sena is that you will be able to shoot more
just because you can shoot faster. The semiautomatic
is only slightly faster than the experienced man with a
pump, and when you spread this concept over the
space of 6 AIMED shots, including the.reloading time
involved, the pump, the autoloader and the double bar-
relled gun will all come out about the same.
Double barrel guns generally fall in the higher priced
category and are considered by some to be the elite of
alt the shotguns. ,Whether it is an over and under or a
side by -side, they again have their own -pros and cons.
Since each . barrel has its own degree of choke, the
shooter can instantly match the situation that arises by
instantly choosing the correct trigger or flipping the
barrel selector over. Even different shot sizes can be
instantly available by putting a different load in each
barrel. The relatively shot length and easy handling
capabilities make it the first choice for serious grouse
hunters and the different choke and shot size capability
make it a favorite in the duck blind.
Although the double can be used effectively with
buckshot, the absence of sights make it a poor choice
for the big game hunter who wants to use slugs. The
other drawback is that again with its lighter weight,
the effects of felt recoil may occur. All in all, if you can
afford a double, it is an excellent choice, and has the
added feature that although it costs more, it retains its 'a
used value better than any of the other types and with
today's rate of inflation, can quickly become a good,
sound business investment.
In conclusion, I would like to say that if you want
your first gun to be a .22, by all means buy one. But,
when you come to the point where you are considering
purchasing your first "workinggun", take a long hard
look at shotguns. It doesn't matter what part of the
Province you live in, a shotgun will serve you well and
could easily turn out to represent the best money you
ever spent.

Handy hints
When you're outside in
really cold weather, don't
smoke. Nicotine slows the
blood supply to the arms and
legs. Hands and feet need
greater protection to stay
warm - another health reason
to kick the habit.

you remember to remove the

Stir in half the broth, then, the
rest of it. Cook until thickened,
Skaters prep;:,,

Last Friday evening the
Clinton Figure Skating

at the Optimist Winter Cars,
nivel, and all members were
very proud of them for their
first performance. Keep
working girls!
The executive of the dub

make further plans ' for the
Interclub competition which
is being hosted by the Clinton
Club on Sunday, March 1 and
set up test days for our
skaters.
On Saturday, February 14

our ice time. The schedule is
as follows: 7 a.m., seniors; 9
a.m., intermediate and 10.11
a.m. beginners and juniors.
Keep skating everyone -
our time is getting shorter.

Seaforth curlers in the dark
A busy week oil the curling
scene and I suspect more
than a few happy curlers
returned home with tales of
victories, close games and a
few with prizes. Club
members curling on last
Thursday's late draw even
have their own version of
"what we did when the lights
went out" after a tran-
sformer bleiv on the pole
outside the club while they
were still on the first end.
Quite dl'sconcertingt to say
.the_, least especially► for
those on a take-out shot.
Po One of several teams
keeping Seaforth's name to
the fore this week, were the
representatives to the
Masters Play-off for Division
13 who returned victorious
from Harriston on Saturday.
Dave Cornish skipped his
team of John Patterson, Sr.,
Ted Cosford , Oliver Pryce to
two straight wins over the
Jack McDonald rink of
• Walkerton. < The team nate
advances to a 4 -Division
play-off which will be held in
St. Thomas this coming
Saturday and Sunday.
Winners from this round will
advance to the Ontario
Championship for these
players in the over 60 age
group.
Pur happy ladies
returned from the Ottawa
Crystal Pebble with ap-
propriate prizes - crystal
dishes - awarded them as
semi-finalists in the Andrew
Wine Event ` Kay Sharp,
Grace Campbell, Irma
Pryce and Loretta Dolmage
played 8 :.r: mes to reach the
semi-final in which they
were defeated by the King
rink of Ottawa R.C.M.P.
Needless to say, their busy
schedule did not allow any
sightseeing until Friday,
when they were able to
watch the opening of
Ottawa's Winter Carnival.
Jim Cunninghan, Bill
Lobb, Bill Fleming and
Clarence Denomme reached
the final game at the Sarnia
Bluewater Spiel before they
were eliminated by a rink
from Forest. Prizes,
however were on tap for the
quartet who report 5 close
games in the three day
event. In addition they were
able to renew some
acquaintances and enjoyed
border -town hospitality. No
doubt they're all set to go
back for another try next
year.
Everyone was a prize
winner at the Perth Bean
Producers Spiel; held ' at
• Seaforth on Saturday, and
with the men in charge of
catering it proved to be very
successful both on and off the
ice. Overall winners were
the Alan Siemen rink of
Mitchell and the Alan South
rink from Harriston.
Seaforth was ably
represented by two entries:
the Gerry Lobb rink with
Dave Tremeer, Mert Keys
and Ross Lovett and the
Gord Pryce rink with Bob
Fotheringham, Bruce
Coleman and Eric McIntosh.
All skips have to 'take the
plunge' at sometime and
Joan Beuennan did just that
when she made her skipping
debut at Mitchell last
