dance last Saturday night and

Bicycle bugs bad
You can learn a lot from
observing other people. And it
can be a lot of fun. Here's a test
for bicycle ` drillers from the
Ontario Safety League:
Take a few minutes to watch
other people's cycling habits.
You'll be amazed at some of the
manoeuvres they get away with
on our streets. You can even
give them names. Here's a few
to get you going ..., you might
even try coming up with some
of your own.
The swerver bug, there's
bound to be one to two. The
"Swerver" wheels in and out of
traffic as though he is on a
timed obstacle course. He gives
no thought to the poor, frazzled
motorist who is forced to slam
on his brakes, risk collision and
is left to face, shakily, the rest
of the day's hustle -bustle,
The tricky -turner bug, we've
all seen this one. One minute
he's riding harmlessly next to
you. Then, without any warning
signal or even a backward
glance, he cuts a fast turn right
in front of your path. It's
guaranteed to give the car
driver palpitations. The
. middle-of-the-roader bug, he
thinks he's driving a car and
hogs the whole lane. He never
notices the traffic jam behind
him. The double headed bug,
this is an easy one to spot - two
bodies weaving along on a
bicycle built for one. The wrong
way bug, these are usually very
young cyclists who haven't yet
mastered right from left (bet
they can't even button their
own coats correctly). They
habitually ride on the left-hand
side of the road, irritating and
confusing both motorists and
other cyclists coming towards
them. The biking bevy bugs,
thisherd, is most frequently
spotted on residential streets,
three or four cyclists riding
side by side. The more ex-
perienced bevy bikers will be
Electrical needs
show slow climb
The province's electrical
needs climbed slowly upward
during February
An Ontario Hydro report
shows primary energy con-
sumption of 7,198,445,536
kilowatt-hours during the
month. This is up only 2.2
percent from the corresponding
total for February, 1974 + and
Hydro sees,the moderate
growth rate aa reflection of
unseasonably mild weather and
continued ecenomic slowdown.
Peak electrical demand
during February was 13,510,501
kilowatts. This ' came at .5:50
p.m. Mdnday, February 10.
Approximately 37 percent of
total energy made available
during the month came from
water power, 29 percent, coal,
13.2 percent, nuclear, 4.5
percent, natural gas and 16.3
percent, purchases.

din . from honking motorists
bringing up the rear. •
Now comes the test. How
many strange,,.cyclists did you
spot? How many strange
cycling habits on your list
describe you as 'a bicycle
driver? Get the entire family
involved. Top score wins the
title: MOST DISCOURTEOUS,
DANGEROUS ANI) ILLEGAL
BICYCLE DRIVER.
Get the . picture? The habits
we've described are illegal in
Ontario and dangerous
everywhere. If you know the
laws, obey them. If you don't,
take a rest from the road and
study up!
And if you ever spot the
ribbon rider bug, look fast. He's
a rare and vanishing breed.
He's occasionally seen riding
up the painted line in the
middle of the road. Why? He
probably thinks it's a bike
path!
Biking is great! Obeying the
laws and using safe, com-
monsense practises will only
ensure greater enjoyment. And
you'll live longer!
At noon hour last Thursday, the main corners in Clinton were all but abandoned as heavy snow
on the road and sidewalks made it nearly impassible except for an occasional car or
pedestrian. The roads were bare by Monday. (News -Record photo)
Lady bowls near 450 game
Louise Gibbings had a near
perfect game last week in five
pin bowling as she rolled a
fantastic 425 play-off action in
the Clinton Mixed League.
The high score easily netted
her the ladies' high single of the
night, and she also got a
commendable 799 triple.
