In a game played at half -speed - due possibly to the over 80 degrees temperatures - Clinton seemed content to let the Poruguese team do all the running, which gave the Clinton defence more than its share of the work and saw Juergen Hellman tested in goal with numerous good shots. Clinton on the other' hand, had only infrequent forays into the opposing half but despite this managed to hit the goal post and shoot a couple narrowly past. Portuguese scored first, after 15 minutes play when an innocent looking cross from the left wing beat the Clinton defence and was lobbed easily over Hellman's head and much to everyone's surprise, ended up In the net. Clinton came alive then, and ten minutes of pressing reaped the reward, when Grant Clark sent a long ball out to Tony Van Danzen racing down the left wing, who. in turn sent a beautiful cross over to Bill Cantelon standing in front of the goal. Cantelon met the ball squarely as he thudded a shot past the helpless goalkeeper. With the score tied at one goal each, both teams settled down to play some exciting soccer. The teams appeared to be evenly matched and despite several good chances from both sides the score remained the same. Clinton now play St. Columban 'B' at St. Columban on Sunday June 5th Game time is 1 p.m. Ramblings from the races By Lois Gibbings Nineteen -year-old Bill Rapson of Holmesville, who has been training horses full time since leaving school at the end of Grade 12 two years ago, took two horses to London on Saturday and Monday and won with both of them. Flame Messenger, a seven-year-old trotter, owned by Evelyn Rapson, took a new record of 2:09, with a last half in 1:02, for his third win this year. He also has had one second and three thirds, good for $1,905 in 1978, from' 11 starts. Last year he had one win, three seconds and four thirds, from 27 By Steve Cooke Before I talk any further about edible wild plants, I must emphasize that there are poisonous plants and mushrooms out there that can kill. Others can make you violently ill. For this reason, I recommend that the novice start out slowly, and learn and experiment with only one plant at a time. The second basic requirement is a good reference book. My favorite book for mushrooms is "How To Recognize 30 Edible Mushrooms" by Antoine Devignes (Barron's, Woodbury, New York). Originally a French publication, this book was translated into English in 1977 and contains, not only detailed descriptions of the mushrooms in question, but excellent photographs as well. "Wild Harvest" by Alyson Hart Knap (Pagurian Press Ltd., Toronto) while not containing any photographs, has excellent descriptions of plants as well as accurate line drawings. These are only two of the many good reference books available on bookshelves today. Ni w on to another of nature's free vegetables, and a popular one with us, the fabulous Marsh Marigold. A drive down almost any country road at this time of year will; result in the sighting of colourful patches of these marigolds in almost every wet or swampy area. The marsh marigold (Caltha Palustris) or American Cowslip, as it is commonly called, grows from one to two feet tall and is easily recognized with its large roundish leaves and orange -yellow buttercup like flowers. The leaves are best picked in the early spring before the plant blooms, but even now they make delicious eating. Boiled for an hour in two or three changes of salted water, the marigold tastes like fresh spinach: The long boiling is 'required to destroy a toxic substance called helleborin which is contained in the leaves. Actually, a shorter cooking time is required, but since the consistency does not change and any vitamins that are going to be destroyed or removed have done so in the first five minutes, the extra time is just added insurance that no helleborin does remain. Another word of warning is necessary here. Marsh marigolds grow in the same habitat as the water hemlocks and the white hellebore, both poisonous plants. This emphasizes the im- portance of proper identification. Fortunately, in this case, neither poisonous plant even closely resembles the marigold. Don't, however, start sampling and tasting other plants that "look good" without making a positive identification. As mentioned before, boiled marigold leaves (minus the stems) taste like spinach and are delicious smothered with butter and a touch of salt. They are also good served with a cheese sauce. The flower buds (when they are still closed) can be boiled in several changes of salted water for three hours, simmered in vinegar and canned in small jars. With a flavour somewhat like that of capers, they make an interesting addition to a relish try, and can sometimes open up a whole new field of conversation at cocktail parties. Marsh marigolds are not only pleasing to the eye in their native state, but very agreeable to the palate in your own dining room. starts, for earnings of $2,157.
