For the 34th year in a row, Canada's largest sports
show is returning. The Canadian National Sportsman's
Show will,. again , occur at the Coliseum Building,
Exhibition Race, Toronto, from March 20
rgf've never been to it, you've missed a lot, and if you
are a regular attender, you can look forward to the
biggest and best show yet.
One of the most popular exhibits each year is the
Ontario Ministry of Natural Resource's, and it will, of
course, be there again in'81.'Tliis par�iculac esfiiblt is
a fine place to see some. of Ontario's more elusive
wildlife in natural surroundings. Animals such as
timber wolves, red foxes, fisher and pine marten are
fea ured and it is an excellent opportunity to
M M.� w close ,•
`lis ' ' from;the Bronce of 'British
Col ' , ' . iI.111 also•be present, featuring six, different
areas: DiSplays will include log Cabins, stern wheeled
boats, flower baskets and nautical exhibits as well as
theeacellentfilm, "Super Natural British Columbia."
• . The tourist outfitters of Ontario along with the
Ministry of Northern Affairs will feature the area from
Thunder --Bay to Timmins and North Bay. Area craf-
tsmen will demonstrate the art of making paddles and
moccasins, while the rock hound can dig.right into the
interesting rock specimens to be found in the
geological display. An added feature will be a draw
which willgive everyone a chance to win an all expense
paid trip for a family of four to Northern Ontario for
two weeks.
For the arts minded person, the McMichael
Collection of the Group of Seven will be on display as
well as presentations by the Royal Ontario, Museum
and the Science Center. The March 26th Wintario
Lottery will also be broadcast live from the show.
This is the show that manufacturers use to introduce
new products and services, and'this:year willsee new
tents, boats, sailboards, recreational vehicles, holiday
homes, and woodburning stoves.
Fishing is one of the fastest growing sports in
Ontario, and this is reflected in the number of tackle
manufacturers represented at the show. Two annual
attractions will also be there, namely the trout fishing
pond and the International Championship Casting
Pool. Labatt's have planned a large exhibit and, of
course, Ontario Out of Doors will be there with lots of
information for you. Mercury is presenting a fishing
theatre to show you how to do it, and experts will be
thereto pass on their tips personally.
And, as if all the displays aren't enough, there'll be
the championship dog retriever trials, the Carlton
Show Band, gymnastic den'ionstrations by the Royal
Military College of Kingston (opening weekend only),
and the Toronto. Star Outdoor Show with demon-
strations and outdoor activities.
All proceeds from the show are devoted to the sup-
port of Canadian conservation research, projects, and
outdoor education with approximately $10 million
being donated to date. It promises to be a great show,
so done on down and take a stroll through 12 acres of
some of the most interesting. displays you'll ever see.
With any luck, I may even see you there.

Zurich Buckeyes demoted to last league place
Barely 24 hours after winn-
ing their third straight South
Huron Hockey League title,
the Zurich Buckeyes found
themselves demoted to the
league's cellar and were
stripped of all their points.
Following the Goderich-
Forest contest on Monday
February 23, a day after
Zurich had captured first
place, a protest was
registered with league of-
ficials concerning the
Buckeyes use of an ineligible
player. The protest centred
around Buckeye
defenceman Glen Nicholson
who had been living at an RR
1, Dashwood address, which
Win -the drawing -area of the
Zurich team.
However, Nicholson had '
moved '/z mile away into the
.village of Dashwood at some
point during the season and
bad failed -to sign an -import" -
card:
n`import'card Dashwood is not in the
Zurich drawing area and the :
rights to all players living
there belong to the Grand
Bend franchise, even though.
"they did not ice a team this
season. The league upheld
the protest and Nicholson
was declared to. be an
'illegal' player. The name of
the team who launched the
action against Zurich was
withheld..
When the Buckeyes were
banished from first place it
looked like the Goderich
Flyers would be heirs to the
CHHL playoffs
