The trick, says Red Fisher, the fishing expert at Mercury outboards, is to have aboard your boat the few items need- ed to keep your- self and your gear dry when an unexpected rain comes along. The most im- portant piece of gear is a large tarp. One -that's eight feet by ten feet is suit- able. If you're camping and fishing, you'll probably have air mattresses aboard the boat. If not, then a second tarp or plastic ground cloth is needed. The only other gear necessary are two pieces of 1 x 2-inch lumber, 15 inches Long. If you're fishing from a large ' boat, you'll probably be able :to -set up .dry. camp right on the boat. First stretch out the tarp so that it covers every- thing. • The boat's windshield will probably leave enough room and breathing space un- der the tarp so that you'll be comfortable. Next blow up the air mattresses and use these as seats or prop yourself against the boat seat using the mat- tress for comfort, If you're fishing from a small boat when a storm hits, pull the boat out on bank and turn it over. Spread out the ground cloth, blow up the air mattress (if available) and pull the tarp over you. Use the 15-inch pieces of lumber to prop the tarp up near your face. One of the disadvantagee of living in a rural area is that It is almost impossible to be, serVed by a daily newspaper that really ,serves yeti. Filling the gap left by the absence of a local, daily of course is sopposed to he the weekly newspaper. Most weekly newspapermen do their best to serve the community but the shortage of staff and space tends to, eliminate such frills as heavy sports and entertainment coverage and well-reseached feature articles. Clinton is in a better position than many Huron county centres in that is has an energetic stringer (part-time reporter) for the London Free Press here. However is is too bad that one daily has a virtual monopoly on the area. The London paper is a good newspaper, but most newspapers do a little better with competition to prod them on, It's sad to see how little effort is made by the Stratford Beacon-Herald to win, friends and iofluence people in Huron County. Although it was before 'my day, I've been told that there was time when the Beacon- Herald was THE newspaper in this part of the country. - Today so few Beacoo-Heralds come into Clinton that anyone who wants one must subscribe by mail. That means the norming newspaper arrives about four in the afternoon, your Saturday paper on Monday morning (pending no mail strikes). The paper itself is very appealing to the eye. It has a modern look that makes the Free Press looked antique. It has With school now out, 4-H is just getting into full swing. For the past week, three of Huron County's top members were at 4-H Leadership Conference held in Guelph. The members were Doug Harding, son of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Harding of RR 1 Gorrie; Paul Passmore, son of Mr and Mrs. Lorne Passmore of RR 3, Exeter; and Brian Miller, son of Mr, and Mrs. Edwin Miller, also of RR 3 Exeter. There are several events coming up in the County that will take in many 4-H members, not only in Huron but also in other parts of the County. A 4-H member from Shawville, Quebec, will be visiting in the County from July 9 - 20 His name in. Ron Eades and he will be spending a week at the home of Mr, and Mrs. Ross Trewartha and family, and another week with Mr. and Mrs. Cliff McNeil. Also in July there will be a 4-H exchange between Glengarry and Stormont Counties in the east with' Huron County. The sonic fiot-rate writers :Ont paper is so thin,. between 16 anti 24 pages, that it makes the price hardly seem worthwhile, Coverage of Huron county riews.sometimes outranks that of the Free frees but on the whole is too sporadic, It's too bad, In POTTY WAY; Stratford js a snore logical centre of interest, than LOndori. Fror one thing it is closer, only about half the distance to London. For another it lo in the same direction as the business, industrial and governmental focal point of the whole province, 'Torente. Another point, although it is just my opinion, is that Stratford is a more interesting place ' than London with its theatres, , art galleries and heutirpies. The obvious prohlem is that Stratford is only one-tenth the size of London and so cannot hope to have as. big a paper. Granted, but size isn't everything. A small paper can he, very goOd just as a large one can be bad. And because of its small base in Stratford you'd think the rural xnartret would be of more advantage to the Beacon-Herald than to the large-circulation Free Press. But they know the situation better than we and we ,can only sit and yearn for a little competition. , SPOTLIGHTS: That giant book sale in Toronto saw 450,000 books disappear from the overstocked storerooms of Ryerson press in nine days . When Americans bring shows like the Ray Stevens Show??? to Canada and claim it' is top entertainment, how can anyone argue that things will get worse when .Canadian content regulaticins come into effect? Exchange will take place from July 13 and returning with club members from the eastern counties on Sunday, July 19 and would return honie on July 25. The members participating this year from Huron are Marlene Stewart, Neil Hemingway, David Bean, Beth Passmore, Gord Lobb, Fred Phillips, Teresa Devereaux, Nancy Lapp and Rosemary Eedy. On July 23 a county bus trip will be heading for the 'North country in the Collingwood ,area. Different farms will be visited as well as different sights of interest. A different type of meeting will be held this year. It will be held in the 'form of a Farm Safety Meeting. There will be two meetings held, one in Brucefield Centennial School on July 27 at 8.30 p.m. and the other in Belgrave Public School on July 30. Anyone interested is invited to this meeting, and we urge all members, leaders and especially parents' to attend this meeting. Tuesday, ,Ivan 23 on No, .29 City Road east of No-1 County Road, Norma!'

When driving at night, always make sure you drive at a safe speed • . . a speed that will permit you to stop within the stretch of road illuminated by your headlights. You never know when you might have to stop in a hurry especially at night when your visibility is limited. A man can't outrun his shadow, but a driver can outrace his headlights, so make sure you always drive with care and caution at night. BOB HELM 'PENIENS AWARD WINNER CBC radio sports producer Bob Helm has won the Penlens Award for motor sports coverage for the fifth year. He's being a bit nostalgic: this car is a Lotus built in 1956, number six of the series. Dennis Code and Francis Bradley both won Canadian Driver's Championships in this car. The make-believe driver is Marie Howes. The Penlens awards have been given annually since 1964 for outstanding coverage of motor racing in general. The coverage must have been done by a Canadian and presented in Canadia media. 4-H activities Ontario youngsters can look forward to the future with more confidence than almost anyone. They'll inherit tm economic giant with a remarkable record of accomplishment. Few places in the world, for example, can equal our record for rising incomes: Our pay envelopes are twice what they were in 1957, yet prices have gone up just 33%. Ontarians earn more, perhaps, because we produce more. Our Gross Provincial Product (the dollar value of all the goods and services Ontario's educational system is grow. ing to provide the skillsand knowledge that are vital to a growing economy. The Province today has 16 universities with a student population that has doubled in the last four years: And we've created 20 con-nunity colleges in three years to give Ontarians the widest educational opportunities, produced) has doubled in the last decade. By 1969 it had reached $32,3 billion and projections show we could reach $52 billion by 1975. Today we account for more than half of Canada's manufactured goods and 80';) of Canada's fully manu- factured exports. Nice work! Because of the way we work, Ontario is in good shape to face the future.
