HomeMy WebLinkAboutClinton News-Record, 1983-11-23, Page 18r s Naturally S a king By Steve Cook Christmas shopping time When you are out Christmas shopping, it's all too easy to find items that you want to own yourself, and the temptation to "treat yourself" is pretty strong. You can do it, of course, but it's a bad time of year to spend that little extra you don't really have. Often it can be rationalized that if a cer- tain item will save money in the long run, it's well worth it, and it often is. Reloading rifle ammunition is a prime example of an expenditure which soon pays for itself, saves money in the long run, and has the ad- ded advantage of letting you practice more to become a better shot. If you are ready to start reloading, or contemplating giving a gift of reloading equipment, I hate to discourage you, but there is an excellent reason for waiting: Lee Precision Inc. has just announced a new press which will be on the market in the spring, and will be well worth waiting for. It might even make your shopping easier. Instead of rushing about trying to find an item which may not be the best choice, just clip this column out, pin some money to it and put it in an envelope. When you give it at Christmas, you'll be do- ing the recipient a big favour by putting him on the right track to a lifetime of saving as well as providing a rewarding hobby. The Lee 2001 Challenger is the first guaranteed unbreakable reloading press ever made. Even if you grossly misadjust the dies and try to break this press, it cannot be overstressed so it will not break or spring out of alignment. (Patent rights reserved.) The Lee people are so positive that the user cannot break this press that it is guaranteed until the year 2001. The Lee 2001 Challenger has a larger than average opening with a long 3 11/16 inch stroke and the best features of all other presses combined. Naturally, it has com- pound leverage for effortless full-length siz- ing of the largest magnum cases and "0" frame design for the best strength at the lowest cost. No other brand of press will size a case with less effort without a handle ex- tension. The frame is offset 30 degrees for full vision, easy bullet starting and full ac- cess to the shell holder. It uses standard shell holders and 7'8-14 dies. A primer cat- cher that catches every single primer at the rear of the machine is included free. Of course, the adj)astable lever that has won so much praise on the Lee Turret Press has been used. It can be set to start and end the stroke wherever the user decides. The han- dle is offset and passes to the right of the press. This keeps the front open and gives a natural uncluttered feel when the lever is up and ram down. The handle swings past center on top to prevent accidental drop and there is no underswing so it can be flush mounted with the three mounting lugs. They added an even -better feature by making the lever length adjustable and capped it with a hard- wood ball. Now, if you are loading a large quantity of easy to size cases, you can quick- ly shorten the lever and save considerable hand motion on each case. There are four optional priming methods. The two Lee hand priming tools or an economical ram primer that uses universal shell holders. The fourth and best primer is the new Auto -Prime II. This will no doubt become the reloaders favorite priming tool. It screws into any standard upright press. Primers are fed from a tray, not too unlike the Lee hand operated Auto Prime. It uses standard shell holders. The best part is the unmatched feel the user has of the primer touching home. You can prime just as fast as you change eases and stroke the ram because the primers feed by gravity automatically. Lee Precision claims that, "This press has the best features of all the "0" frame presses packed into one." The Lee 2001 Challenger will be available in spring. Price is expected to be mid $30 range m the U.S. For more information, drop a note to Lee Precision Inc., 4275 Hwy. U., Hartford, WI, 53027.

On that evening Hugh Hodges was installed into the Western Ontario Athletic Association (WOAA) as a life member. Mr. Hodges has served over 20 years in the league and is the first man to be named as a life member since the WOAA founders in 1942. He joins M.L. (Tory) Gregg, Alfred Lockridge and Wilfred (Doc) Cruickshank. "I really didn't know anything about it ( receiving life time membership). I had an idea, but I wasn't sure," Mr. Hodges said. "The Colonel" as he is known in WOAA circles, occupies two positions in the WOAA Executive. As second vice-president, he is obligated to perform duties assigned by the president, collect from or present trophies and supervise baseball, softball and hockey tournaments. He also retains an active position as past president. He said his "firm and businesslike" ap- proach carried him through the air force and has rubbed off in his dealing within the WOAA. "I'm outspoken at times. I feel everyone has to express their opinion. Sure there are a lot of times I get shot down," Mr. Hodges said. In 1960 he became a member of the WOAA when managing the Canadian Forces Base softball team in Clinton He then began convening baseball, softball and minor hockey teams in the area. Mr. Hodges was elect :.i! as President of the WOAA in 1968 for a two-year term. He said one major change he has seen in the WOAA over the years is the amount of paperwork that is done. "There's five times the paperwork in- volved with player eligibility now than there was in the late 1970s. I think it's good. You have to maintain qualifications," he said. Mr. Hodges praises the WOAA for its high level of officiating and said, "The WOAA has more level three referees than any other Ontario Minor Hockey Association (OMHA) district. That's not a put down to the OMHA but is a pat on the back for referees in the area." In appraising the efficiency of the league, Mr. Hodges said, "We have our ups and downs just like any other organization. It is a unique organization in that it works year round with sports. It's the only association in Canada dealing with all four sports and not just one." The WOAA presently operates baseball, softball, hockey and ringette leagues. Mr. Hodges' years of faithful and con- tributing service to the league is best exemplified by his closing words, "I hope to keep going in this organization until I'm 110 - years old."
