There was a tie for third place when Doug Macaulay and Don Freeman shot 83 on the sweltering 18 -hole course. Organizer Don Switzer, sports chairman at the Fish and Game, said he was very pleased with the initial running of the tournament, and was especially thankful to all the loeal merchants who donated prizes, and to the cooks who barbecued the nearly 100 steaks follbwing the tour- nanient.

Down in Crediton on Sunday afternoon, the Colts extended their winning streak to eight games by dumping the Mets 18-9. Butch Fleet in Naturally speaking By Steve Cooke The common milkweed is well known to most people on the North American continent. Children readily recognize it by the white milky sap that is exuded from the stem when cut or broken. It is the white sap which everyone knows about. I'm sure you've all heard how the sap, when smeared on warts, will magically make them disappear, and how the sap, when dried can be used as chewing gum. While both these notions are firmly engrained in the folklore of our country, I would personally hesitate to rely on the wart cure 4 a sure fire thing, and I can.certainly think of things I would much sooner chew than the dried sap. The milkweed does, however, in its abun- dance, provide me with several dishes of which I am quite fond. Another plus is the fact that milk- weed can be harvested from early spring until late summer. ' In the early spring, the young shoots are yet another substitute for asparagus. Pick the shoots before they start to uncurl and remove the fuzz with a light rubbing action: To cook, simply boil for two or three minutes to remove the milky latex, then drain and simmer in fresh water until tender. If you find the taste too sharp for your liking, try a few additional changes of water in the cooking process. We prefer to serve the shoots lightly buttered and covered with a cheese sauce. The flower heads, when they are still in the bud stage, are our substitute for broccoli. They are best picked when still a grey -green shade, before any colour starts to appear. The initial colour is not very appetizing, but after the first quick boiling (3 - 4 min.) the buds take on a lovely bright green colour. Only one change of water is required, and a total cooking time of ap- proximately eight minutes gives you a very tasty cooked vegetable., Serve this one up with just a touch of salt and butter. My favourite from the milkweed plant, and the easiest to recognize is the young seed pods. The young pods are just starting to form now, so the next two or three weeks should give you some delightful eating. Pick the pods when they are still young and fairly small. If they feel elastic to the touch, they may be a bit too ripe and tend to be a bit fibrous for the average palate. If this is the case, try to find a patch that is not so well developed. Boil the pods in several changes of water to which a little soda has been added. The soda will help to break down any of the tough fibers which may be present. We enjoy the pods. in several ways. They are quite delicious just served up boiled stewe serve welco If y baske /with butter on top, are fantastic when up with onion and canned tomatoes and with fish, or frozen, and used as a ne•addition to stews throughout theyear. u've never tried a wild food before, take a t along on your Sunday drive this week. It will only take a few minutes to gather up a family sized portion if the pods are ready, and it may just become one of your favourite delicacies as well. minmomMakumaNNIMNI relief of starter Dave Bartliff and Greg Burns pitched six innings of excellent ball to earn his first victory of the season.
