You must buy a licence in order to have the application for the antlerless deer draw, and the deadline for submissions will be upon us before we know it. It seems early, but it's better to have it done now than wait for the last minute. Travellers! If you are going abroad in the near future, DON'T buy those crocodile shoes or purses! ... Or any other items made from endangered plant or animal species covered by the Convention on Inter- national Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (known as CITES). To help travellers become more aware of which exotic wildlife and by-products to avoid and why, the Canadian Wildlife Service and the National Museum of Natural Resources have created airport exhibits entitl- ed Souvenirs of Extinction. Installed at Toronto Mirabel and Vancouver international airports they spell out the import and export restrictions designed to stem international trade in endangered wildlife and their products. CITES trade restrictions are enforced by over 80 countries around the world and cover over 1,000 wild plants and animals. By requiring special import and export permits, CITES controls trade in illegally obtained animal and plant specimens and reduces the trade pressure that seriously endangers the existence of some species. Failure by Canadians to produce necessary import and -or export permits results in confiscation of the specimens and possible prosecution of the importer. Wild species protected by CITES include: African crocodiles, large spotted cats, wolves, whales, rhinos, monkeys, parrots, turtles, cacti, orchids and owls, to name a few. Definitive lists are available from the CITES Administrator. More good news for fishermen from the Ministry of Natural Resources. According to a news release from them, Splake, the popular cross between lake trout and brook trout, will be testing the skills of fishermen in many areas of Ontario in the near future. Natural Resources Minister Alan Pope said that approximately 30 lakes in the Muskoka-Haliburton area and in eastern and northeastern Ontario were stocked in the past month with 70,000 yearlings. "These excellent sport fish offer a real challenge at the end of the line and make mouth-watering meals when caught," the Minister said. He said this year's stocking marks the first large- scale splake planting in inland waters. "In future, they will also be stocked in northwestern Ontario." Mr. Pope assured Ontario fishermen that the province's splake stocking program would continue to provide high-quality angling in areas devoid of brook trout and lake trout. Splake are planted into lakes where competition from native trout does not exist. Past studies have shown that splake survive better, are larger and are caught more frequently than lake trout or brook trout in these waters. The splake stocking is in addition to the ongoing lake trout backcross stocking program in Lake Huron. The lake trout backcross — a cross between a male splake and a female lake trout — is being planted in Lake Huron to replace the dwindling population of lake trout that had suffered from sea lamprey predation and over -fishing. STREN Fishing Line TIP of the WEEK Our first fishing tip comes from John Hazlitt of R.R. 4, Goderich. When fishing brook trout, always try to fish up- stream. If you fish your way down with the current, roiled water and spooked fish (which invariably head downstream) may spoil your fishing before you even get to it. The trick is to leapfrog sections of stream from 50 to 100 yds. long and then drift your bait under snags and overhanging rocks as you work your way back to the starting point. Double the length of your second leapfrog, and fish back to where you started angling before, continuing this method as far as you wish to go. Hand in hand with this tip is the fact that where most streams cross a road, the better fishing is usually on the upstream side. This is true only because most fishermen head downstream, so that side gets most of the pressure. Thanks John! Stren will be sending you out a 220 yd. spool of line. If you've got a tip you think we could use, jot it down and send it in to us and we'll see if we can get you some line as well. Goderich races RACE NO. l Purse 1550 SUNRISE BINGO W.R.

The team encountered more trouble in Kincardine the previous week losing to the strong northern team 7 - 1. Clinton's only goal in that game went to Scott Brown, assisted by Mike Ladd. Being defeated by Kin- cardine did not discourage the team and they were able to bounce back and defeat Goderich, who had defeated them earlier in the season. Devon Colquhoun opened the scoring after in- tercepting a Goderich pass. This goal was followed by three more Colquhoun goals with assists going to Ricky Lobb and Derek Jefferson with two. Goderich came back with their only goal just before the half ended. Clinton's Brian Kiss opened the second half with two fine goals, assisted by Devon Colquhoun on the first and Mike Ladd and Colquhoun on the second. Stephen Vandendool netted Clinton's next goal with the final goal going to Devon Colquhoun assisted by Mike Ladd.

After dropp- ing 2 games to Exeter and Seaforth, Clinton -rebounded to defeat Listowel and Kin- cardine. Although Clinton had previously beaten Exeter by a large margin, Exeter returned the favor as several key Clinton players were missing from the lineup.

Randy Keyes was the los- ing pitcher despite a strong effort. Wayne Smith, George Coventry and Dave Wright led the Clinton hit- ting. Clinton won its next game by forfeit as the Listowel team did not arrive for the game on July 2. The 7 - 0 vic- tory improved the team's record to 6 - 3.
