VOL. 95, NO. 25. By FRED SIMPSON I'm going to tell you all about it. Quick Freddy-Facts on some of the inside things you don’t know about trap shooting if you're like What I don't know about trap shooting you could write a column about. That sounds like a good idea. I'll do just that. They’re really made of pitch and powdered stone. But don't ask me for the recipe. I’ve never made one before. But what really upset me was the information that they don't even look like birds. They look like little saucers and are about one and an eighth inch in depth. Did you know that the clay birds you shoot at aren't really made of clay. They used to be but they aren‘t anymore. That when the shooter hollers “pull” to the person manning the trap which shoots the birds out he doesn’t actually pull anything. He actually presses a button which releases the hird. ‘ That the shooter doesn‘t point his shotgun at tfietflylng birds. He points himself. How about t a . Now that I‘ve got you sufficiently titilated I'll get down to the meat of my story. It's mainly about 14~year-old George Leary of RR 1, Gormley who you can blame for getting me all excited about trap shooting. _ A George was recently honoiéd by Richmond Hill Town Council for his exploits in the above sport which saw him winning the Canadian Sub-Junior Trap Shooting Championship July 4 at Vangouver for the second straight year. He was also the runner-up in the American Sub: Junior Championship at Vandalia, Ohio. which is recognized as a World title. In the regular compe- tition he and the eventual winner each had 195 out of 200 birds. In the shoot-off the winner got all 25 birds and George got 24. Bespectacled George is still shaking his head over that. He explained that one of the birds had actually been nicked by his discharge' but hadn't been counted. . “We wouldn’t have had to have that shoot-off and I wouldn’t have missed that bird,” he said.‘ George has been trap-shooting for the past five years. He picked it up from father Jack who has “always been interested in shooting and hunting.” George started off with a 12-gauge Ithaca shot- gun but now uses an 1100 Remington Automatic. “Trap shooting is more difficult than skeet shooting.” he said, "because in trap shooting you never know which direction the bird is going. It always comes out the same way in skeet shooting." I took his word for it and was further intrigued when he told me the bird is travelling about 60 miles an h0_l_ll‘ when it leaves the trap. “Those are the kind that hurt actually should have won it. I didn't time but I had 196 birds but the score didn't count it.” “You don’t have time to aim.” he said. “You more 01" less swing- your gun and aim your body. In some events in the States the bird goes 100 miles an hour which is something again." (Continued on Page 14) That’s why you don’t aim the shotgun. You aim yourself. Sport Spots Curling and charity combined made December 4 a great day for the annual mixed pogey bonspiel at the Richmond Hill Curling Club on Elgin Mills Road East. A requirement of entry in the bonspiel was that each player donate two cans of food to be, turned over to the town’s c’o-ordinated welfare services for distribution in the baskets of cheer, a regular feature of the Yule season. ‘ By the time the registrations were complete for the two draws, an impressive array of canned foods was'stacked in front of the large fireplace in the lounge. . lIn the above picture are (left to right) Chairman James Fitzpatrick of the Sinners group; §kip Cy H_olman of theflwinning rink, with the other members â€" Vice Jane Calder, Second Barry Kifig ahd Lead Helena Sutherland SECON D SECTION Bonspie/ Collects Canned Food: For Welfare GEORGE IS A CHAMP It’s A Trap 7 SPORTS GEORGE LEARY RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1971 \ . ” he said. “I notice it at the fellow keeping League standings are: Hell's Angels 29 points; Roger's Re- jects 25; Go Aways 21.

BOWLING RESULTS Dear Mr. Sports Editor: I am writing this letter of complaint about the appalling lack of first aid equipment and/or the ap- palling lack of knowledge as to the accessibility of such equipment and use of same at the Richmond Hill Arenas. I believe you should be interested in the fact that my son, David Stockall, who plays minor bant- am hockey, was injured December 2. David went full speed into the boards and it was thought that he may have injured his leg very seriously. Luck- ily, he did not have any broken bones. However, he lay on the ice over ten minutes while someone LOOK- ED for a stretcher . There were no blankets to be found. He was, of course. sweating from playing hockey and also from being injured. Of course, there is a certain amount of shock when one is in- jured and one of the most important points to re- member is that an injured person should be kept warm. Now the length of time that David lay on the ice is of great concern to me, and, I think, should be to everyone. If a child had a serious cut, I wonder how long he would have been unattended. I understand that there are over 900 boys play- ing hockey in Richmond Hill. That number would not include the visiting teams or children involved in figure skating. An association of that size should have knowledgeable people in charge of first aid in each arena at all times . . . not only during tourna- ment games. I‘would like to itemize a few important points that I think should be considered and attended to without delay: (1) There should be a small first aid room, heat- ed and easily accessible to both ice surfaces. (2) A well-stocked first aid box should be in that room and one should also be stored near the ice surface. ~ (4) Someone knowledgeable enough to administ- er first aid should be in both arenas at all times â€" trained sufficiently to apply pressure if a child were cut and aware as to how to lift an injured child on- to a stretcher. We have been very fortunate in this town in that, to be best of my knowledge, there has never been a very serious injury on these ice surfaces. BUT WHO KNOWS ABOUT TOMORROW? Is it going to take a serious injury or a coron- er's inquest before these matters are rectified. JIM AND RHELDA STOCKALL. 3-1 Crosby Avenue, Richmond Hill.

Glen Wright hammered home “With a little help from our friends . . .” It is customary to end up the year with a review of all that happened. But I don't want to make a big thing out of it. I just want to say that 1971 was a most difficult year for all automobile dealers. but that We did fairly well. In fact our business is expanding to the point that we are moving into a big new facility in the centre of Rich~ mond Hill early in the new year. We will be announcing our move-in date soon. One of the reasons for our suc- cess is that people bought Datsuns because they believed Datsuns were simply more car for the money. That‘s why Datsun's slogan is: Datsun the more-for-your-money car. And these people have been telling their friends about their Datsunsâ€"and influencing them to buy Dat- suns. Word of mouth advertising is the best there is. So [ want to say thank you to all of you who own Datsuns because some of the people you influenced helped make our business grow. Here‘s what some people say about their cars when I write our customers for their comments: (Customer's names on request). Letter can be viewed at our dealership. “Quote”: 0 Your dealership is to be congratulated! The extra courtesies extended to me after the sale by the service dept. and sales dept. are more than appreciated. I have full confidence in Datsuns. O I am happy with the car, your courteous salesman and your attention to details. 0 The small problems we have had have been promptly and courteously handled. We would have no hesitation in recommending you to friends. 0 Service excellent â€"â€" above and beyond what the aver- age dealership provides. 0 I bought because of word of mouth. it's a good vehicle, dependable and economical which to me in my work is a first consideration. o I am very surprised and pleased with the efficiency of your service personnel, your people are always very courteous and give me advice as though I was paying for it, rather than having it done free of charge on warranty. “Unquote” Thank you again Datsun Owners (espeCially those 0f 3'01! who purchased your cars from us). I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Time for a change-over of company cars. An opportunity to save lots. and at the same time get a new car warranty. Various models available. If your budget can't quite squeeze in one of these. we have some A-l used small cars on display for your perusal. Our used cars are covered by a 100% 30 day warranty for your total protection.
