In Heiman on Thursday, • the Buckeyes skated to a,5 - 3 win and at home on Sunday afternoon, the Buckeyes downed the visiting Sherwoods by the same 5 - 3 score. Thursday night the Buckeyes started fast and led the Hensall boys 3.2 after one period before a packed house. Jeff O'Brien scored at 4:28 from Marvin `Millimetre' Merrier only to have Hensall's Al Taylor A lot of people have old guns tucked away in a closet or gun case and are in a complete fog when it comes to knowing what their actual value is.

For instance, in our iicoui tatty, the Winchester 94 was very common and because of this, prices, may be lower than that advertised. On the other hand, Winchester's Model 70 was not as prevalent, so it is not unnatural to find one on.tie'dealers' shelves with a higher price tag than that listed in the book. However, if you are prepared to do a bit of travelling, it is possible to use this guide to obtain tee -optimum' price for youtgiik either buying or sell - Td give you a couple of examples of relative value, I looked up the Winchester Model 70, a much talked about_ firearm. The Model 70 manufactured after 1964 lists on the used gun market for $205 U.S. Those manufactured before 1964 list for $495 U.S. These prices are for standard grades, in excellent condition. When you get involved with factory specials (oddball calibers, etc.) or higher grades, the price naturally goes up. Generally, if the gun has been altered or reblued, the price goes down. Browning is also a good naive to compare. When I purchased my Auto 5, the Browning SuperposedGrade 1 listed for approximately $350, brand spanking new. ;Now, that same gun, again in excellent condition, would sell for $1,300 U.S. Even if you don't plan on buying or selling a firearm, the "Gun Trader's Guide" is a good addition to your library. You never know when that "buy of a lifetime" may come up, and if you have this reference handy, you'll be able to recognize it when it does. Watch for a copy on the shelves of your local bookstore or gunshop, or drop a line to Stoeger Canada Ltd., 165 Idema Road, Markham, Ontario, L3R 1A9, and ask how you can ob- tain one. It's interesting reading at the least, and can save or make you money at the best, so it's well worth yourtime and money to obtain a copy. 4-H'ers finish club Clinton III 4-H The sixth meeting of Clin- ton III 4-H club was held on April 1 at the home of Mrs. Saundercock.
