Since he had finally reached the ripe old age of fihe was eligible for his proper inheritance, and ;finall i, ni a position to finance an expedition into the wllds if Africa. Back he went to Uganda to finally embark on a profession, which at that time, was honorable, daring, and romantic at the same time. While it seems like an exciting thing to do, elephant huntiing.was also a lot of hard work and dangerous to boot. By the end of his career, it is estimated that Bell walked well in excess of 60,000 miles on his hunting ex- peditions, and that does not include any motorized or animal transportation employed during the course of the hunting. As Peter Hathaway Capstick observes in ' his book, "Death in the Silent Places", "His body con- ditioning does not warrant any further comment, other than to observe that anybody who walks 60,000 miles is likely to be in pretty fair shape." Add to this the fact that most of the early 1900's was spent among hostile and war like tribes in Africa, and it's almost a miracle to think he survived until a heart attack took him in his native Scotland in 1951. Bell, of course, is most famously known for his use of light rifles during the course of his elephant hunting career. While his contemporaries used powerful, large bore, double barrelled express rifles, the mainstay of Bell's battery was a Lee Enfield .303 and a .275 Rigby Mauser (actually a 7 x 57 mm Mauser). He, of course, counted on precise bullet placement rather than shock, and managed to shoot over 1,000 elephants with these two calibers. He developed and perfected the brain shot, which is still used today for any control work which must be done in the game reserves which rill in- to elephant population problems. Karamojo Bell was a popular figure in his day, and his vitritings were much in demand in Britain in his time. Most of these writings were collected in a book entitled, "The Wanderings of an Elephant Hunter", which is now out of print and considered a collector's item. If you ever happen to chance on a copy of this book, you'll find it makes excellent reading, and is well worth the time it takes to get through it. If it's for sale id you don't want it, let me know where it is. I'd love have a copy of my own. CLINTON RECREATION COMMITTEE FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23 Junior C Hockey KINCARDINE VS.

Wil- ly Denomme tied the game for the Mustangs and Steve Arbour scored the winner with less than four minutes to play to set up an exciting finish. Sunday's game in Port. Elgin was also exciting as the Bears scored in the first minute of play and then the Mustangs took control and Steve Arbour and Greg Flowers each scored before the period ended. The second period was scoreless, although the Stangs did score twice and both goals were disallowed by referee Bob Mitchell, who did a terrible job. Brian • Horner, scored the opening goal of the third period on a fine passing play by Dave Smith and Bill Peters. The Bears never let up, but the Mustangs did and ten minutes later the score was tied -34 as Port Elgin scored twice and the game ended m a tie.
