Seaforth curlers play in Sarnia tournament by Wendy Tremeer Well, curling fans, as you can see, your official curling "club" reporter is back on the job. My little 'finger is still on the mend but at least I can write this week (some may argue this point). I didn't receive many phone calls this week so if I missed reporting anything spectacular, let me lmow. The men's team that went to Sarnia had their usual good time. Dave Cornish, Bill Fleming, Bob Wilson and Jim Rose made up the foursome. They curled well until being put out Saturday night The Vincent Spiel on Tues- day, December 1 was a huge success. The 9:00 draw was won by the Bill Gibson rink from Vanastra. Bill had Brian Falconer, Dave Town- send and 'Scott Consitt curl- ing with him. Second prize went to Phil Foster's rink from Goderich and third went to Cam Bogie's rink, alto from Goderich. by steve cooke Wildcat cartridges are often developed, only to fade again quickly into obscurity. Others bang on and are seen occasionally. in custom built rifles, never really gaining any widespread popularity, but never dying completely. Still others , seem to oscillate between eitreme popularity and total obsolescence until finally, they catch on and survive or sink out of sight, never to be seen again. The 25-06 is a good example of what can happen to an old wildcat that filially makes it. The 25-06 cartridge was first produced as a commercial round by Remington in 19/0 in combination with the chambering for it of the Model 700 bolt action rifle. Wildcat versions of this rowel had been in existence for many years, the most popular being the one developed by gunsmith, A.O. Neidner, about 1920. Neidner's version involved simply necking down a standard 30-06 case to`25 caliber with no change in case length or shoulder angle. Remington's commercial version utilizes the same case dimension& Before 1940, the Neidner 25-06 wildcat's full per- formance potential was restricted somewhat by the lack of available, bulky, slow -burning powders suitable for the volume of. the 30-06 ca en several such powders became readily availab after World War II, they raised the performance level of the 25-06 con- siderably. With the once -popular 257 Robertsg in the face of competition from the 43 and flatter - shooting 24 caliber rounds (6mm Rein. 243 Win.), the door was left open for a commercial 25 caliber round of greater case capacity. When the 2546 Remington appeared in 1970, it filled the gap with what is, in the opinion of many experts, the top performing combination varmint and big game cartridge. Loaded with Remington's 87 grahs "Power-Lokt" bullet, the 25-06 Remington produces long-range trajectories practically equal in flatness to those of the 21 waiter zorze"----- R-th light bt-Almrith Remington's 120 -grain "Core-Lokt" bullet, it becomes a highly effective deer cartridge riding on a trajectory roughly equal to those of the most modern big game rounds. The 25-06 Remington is, therefore, a highly versatile roimd, and an excellent choice for the one -rifle man who hunts everything up to the size of mule deer. Some expert riflemen have also used the 25-06 Remington successfully on elk. But, for game of this size, exact bullet placement becomes extremely important. For smaller game species in the antelope class, Remington also loads its 25-06 with a 100 -grain "Core- Lokt" bullet of excellent performance. In addition, the 25-06 Remington is adaptable to reloading with a wide variety of 25 caliber component bullets. Remington currently chambers its Model 700 bolt action rifle in the ADL, BDL, and Varmint Special versions for this popnier cartridge. NOW The 11 o'clock draw was won by Dale Ross from Har- riston. He had one local curl- ing with him, Gerry Walters from Goderich. Second was Bob Allan from Vanastra and- third was Allan Siemon from Mitchell. The games were close and good curling and food was had by all. Thanks to Vincent Farm Equipment for spon- soring the spieL Gerry Walters and Don Tremeer, along with Kellough and Tucker made up a team that went to Bar- riston for the cash spiel. on Friday, Saturday and Sun- day.

Senrivoi fnr rlintnn Looking for lost bunnies By Stan Falconer If you happen to get upon of these mornings, look out the window and see some funny looking rabbits run- ning around don't be alar- med, they aren't cottontails, just some of our tame rab- bits that have taken up roaming aroundtown. During the fall of this year, some have gotten out and others have been removed by children catching them and taking them home. I suppose when they get them home niom or dad tells them to take the rabbits back where they belong, but it is too far to go, so they have just been turned loose. So if you see . them don't be alarmed, but don't feed them either and maybe they will eventually come back to were the feed is. I forgot to mention that our Peacock was killed by a Weasel or some other var- mint about three weeks ago. Earlier in the fall some of the smaller rabbits were killed by dogs in the compound, so we would appreciate it if people who have their dog out for a walk in the area would restrain them from entering the compound. Our mixed darts on Wednesday nights gives a prize each month for the man and woman who wins the most games, and also a booby prize for each for least games won.
