Splitting the beginners and juniors in two separate time slots allows the beginners 3, hours for full ice from 11:15 - noon. The professionals and amateur coaches were kept busy encouraging and assisting the young aspiring skaters. Ten more children registered on Saturday. Should any skater or parent have any questions regarding figure skating, contact our national skating test chairman, Norma Preszcator, her assistant, Carol Lavis, or club secretary and test chairman Carol Fox. Did you get new skates and they feel strange, stiff and awkward, plus you've got a blister somewhere on your foot? Rest assured, it isn't that they're a bad fit. In fact naturally speaking the stiffer the leather, the more support for your foot which makes the better to assist your skating expertise. To obtain perfect comfort from those new skates, your skates and you must become better acquainted. Put them on and wear them often at home. Do your household chores, watch T.V., do your homework while wearing your skates, Walk up and down stairs often to supple up the ankles of the skates. While• you wear your skates you are custom moulding your boot to match only your feet. Some skaters place cushions of powder pads or other foam rubber shields over tender ankle bones. Of course, when you're clomping around the house on skates wear the ' skate guards ! Next week, watch for pointers on care of your skate blades. By Steve Cooke Mother Nature is again laying out her provisions for us to gather as a hedge against the long cold weather. There are several fruits available to the picker at this time of year that need a frost.. or two to bring out their natural sweetness. Wild grapes are one good example of a fruit that I feel needs a frost. A cold snap seems to take the edge off the tartness and make the fruit a little juicier. This is the time to gather these little beauties to make a snappy little wine or a batch of great jelly preserves. Roadsides, overgrgwn fence rows and open patches in hardwood bushes are prime areas for the wild grape. This year also seems to have produced the biggest crop that I've seen in a long time. The hunter should also actively search out the wild vines as ruffed grouse feed heavily on the grapes as the leaves fall. Rosehips are also ripe for the gathering now, and large quantities can quickly be ,picked in a good location. The wild roses grow _best in the sandy soils along the lake and were an important source of vitamin C for the Indians. The'hips can be used to make a jelly that is very mild and pleasant tasting, or dried and crushed for tea. Either way, they are both delicious and nutritious.and well worth the gathering, Highbush cranberry jelly is a delight to serve with fowl at Christmas time, and can be picked right into the cold days of February. The bright red clusters of berries cling to the stems with an amazing tenacity and repeated freezings and thawings only improve tahe flavour. This bush prefers a light alluvial soil and is generally found to produce best along creek bank's or drainage ditches. A book I've just picked up bears mentioning in this column. The book is "Billy Joe Tatum's Wild Foods Cookbook and Field Guide" published by Workman Publishing Co. Inc., 231 East 51 Street, New York, New York, 10022. This book contains an illustrated guide to 70 wild plants and over 350 irresistible recipes for serving them up. It should not be too difficult to find as it was chosen as the main selection of Organic Gar- dening Book Club and, alternate selection in Cook' Book Guild, The American Garden Guild Book Club and Contempo Book Club. It is also readily available or can be ordered from'your local book store. If you're' looking for good reading on wild foods, to either start your library or add to it, this is a book that is almost a must.
