Clinton News-Record, 1978-12-07, Page 6I IA: aI"1/4 �'�_Y t /i ;il�r li.-•-'.., FIS PAGE S —CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 7 , I978 a Stangs share second in OJ1L.A by Brian Marriage The Clinton Mustangs gained a share of second place last weekend in OHA Junior C action, with a 6-6 tie against Walkerton and a 9-5 victory over Port Elgin 9- 5. During Friday night's naturally speaking } game, the Stangs played a rather sloppy game, enabling the cellar - dwelling Black Hawks to tie them. The Stangs out- scored them three to one in the first period on goals by Bill Lewis, Paul Helesic and Bill Peters. In the second period, If someone on your Christmas list is a hunter, fisherman or general outdoorsman, you're lucky. This type of person is extremely easy to please when it comes to buying a gift. A fisherman can own two stores full of tackle but his eyes will still light up at an assortment of lures and spinners. Every tackle box could use a set of scales to shrink that 30 pound fish down to a more believable 10 or 12. A filleting knife also makes a great'gift, but get a good one. The blade should be long and thin with a handle that is designed to make the knife float if accidentally dropped overboard. The Ruko shark is my personal choice. Hunters are just about as mad as fishermen when it comes to collecting gear and paraphernalia for their sport. Ammunition is always a good choice as is anew compass. Warm wool socks for the duck blind or a heavy wool shirt for the deer camp are also a good choice. A• good knife can make a fine gift for the out- door person, but choose one that is practical. The Alamo is not likely to be fought again so Bowie knives are not really needed. Buffalo` skinners are a little out of date as well. The trend today is to quality belt knives and lock back folders with a belt pouch. It's hard to beat a dropped point' knife with a blade between three and four inches long. A knife like this is capable of any chore from dressing out a cottontail to preparing a moose for the frying pan. Expect to pay $20 to $30 for a good production knife of this description. If you want to do something a little special for your favorite hunter, buy him a custom made knife. Andre Bajkor of 123 Alpine St., Hamilton, Ontario, L9A 1A7 (416-547-6136) is one of the better knifemakers in Ontario. He hand crafts a wide variety of styles and shapes that are not only functional and well designed, but a real work of art to look at. I had the opportunity to examine and use two examples of his work at our deer camp this fall and have to report that they easily exceeded all my expectations. The true beauty of these knives have to be seen to be appreciated. Andre's standard line of Drop Point Hunters are made from 1/8" steel and range between $55 and $75 in price. His deluxe variety is crafted from three -sixteenth inch steel and varies from $75 to $95. The range of prices depends on the quality of micarta used in the handles with the top of the line in both series being shaped from fine ivory. The price of these knives does not include a sheath. Sheaths are available ,by custom order, however, and cost approximately $12 to $15 extra. If you wish to purchase one of these beauties (a limited supply is available for Christmas), send a money order to Andre Bajkor at the above address. Be sure to specify whether you want the 1/4" Standard Drop Point Hunter or the three -sixteenth inch Deluxe Drop Point Hunter. Don't forget to include seven percent sales tax and $3 to cover postage and insurance. The recipient of any one of these gifts will not only have a good and useful gift, they'll also appreciate the thought that went behind it. Walkerton scored twice and Clinton scored only once from the stick of Phil Arthur, After Clinton scored twice early in the third period, the Black Hawks rebounded with three unanswered goals to gain the tie. The Clinton marksmen in the third period were Tim McLean and Bill Lewis. In the Sunday af- ternoon contest, the Stangs scored four unanswered third period goals to enable them to defeat Port Elgin 9-5. Clinton scored three goals in the first period to the Bears' one. Tim McLean fired a single while Steve Arbour notched a pair. The second period belonged to the Bears as they scored four goals to Clinton's two and tied the game at five apiece heading into the final frame. The two Mustangs marksmen were Dave Stephenson and Phil Arthur. The third period marksmen for Clinton were Steve Arbour with his third, Dave Stephenson with his second and singles by Mike Gibbings and Paul Dougherty, The Mustangs will host the Arthur Eagles this Friday night at 8:30 p.m. in Brussels. This will be the first appearance for the Stangs in the new Brussels arena and it is hoped a good turnout will show up and support the Mustangs. The Mustangs are also holding their Christmas party this coming Saturday night at the community centre at 9 p:m. and are hoping that Santa Claus will show up with a bag of tricks to enable them to overtake the Listowel Cyclones and Kincardine Kinucks. Smile I believe in the two- - party system, but not in the same night. It's only a few weeks now until the Clinton arena is ready, and workmen are busy putting back the boards that were removed during construction of the new floor. The new tractor room is nearing completion, and special glass will be put at the ends to replace the screen. (News -Record photo) sports Weather hurts figure skating bazaar If the weather could have cooperated as well as our parents and skaters on our bazaar evening, Dec. 1, we might have had more customers. Flowers of congratulations should have been handed to the people who did come, for the walking and driving weather was terrible! Parents, you're the best! A record was kept of those who contributed and it was heartwarming to witness the resounding and generous response. Donations of attractively decorated Christmas baking, hand crafts and decorations filled several tables. The answer to what to do with the table loads of unsold articles was solved when the executive of the Zeta Omega Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi was contacted. Arrangements were made 'to5 ;continue our Christmas bonanza at their bazaar the following day Dec, 2. This proved successful and we extend our ap- preciation to the Zeta Omega Chapter for our accommodation. We thank all Who helped in anyway. SAVING TO OWN' A HOME WHYTAX YOURSELF: Dear R.H.O.S.P.
