Membership: 12. The Cllublmeets Thursday ndglhlt's in Epps Sporting Goods' Game Room. A group of ladies, from Clin• ton and district got together last November and started something new and different in the way of recreation for themselves. Act- ually, the idea came originally from Mrs. Ellwood Epps who found her husband just wasn't enough competdibion. Mrs. Epps decided to do something about that, end had a notice inserted in The NEWS - RECORD asking interested ladies to meet at the range " in ti'e Epps Sporting Goods store. Six girls turned up, some of whom knew which end of a gun was which, and some who didn't, but they called in two expert rifle shoes. Ealwood Epps and Bill Jervis, who consented to act as instructors and help the ladies get started. Under this capable supervision, the club soon worked up. a real interest in shooting, and there are several homes in the district where an armed burglar would be likely to come off second best. Since its organization, the club's membership has doubled and the members have greatly improved their scores. Several of the girls already have their Dominion Marksman bronze pins, and are well on their way to obtaining the silver awards. Three of the shooters enjoy the competition so much they drive from Holmesville, Londesboro Zurich Takes Exeter I n WOAA .
