Stangs clip Eagles
The Clinton Mustangs
made their first trip to
Arthur a victorious one
last Friday night as they
came home with a 6-4
win.
Bill Lewis was the
dominating player for the
Stangs as he scored a pair
of goals, added a pair of
assists and also got a
couple of the Arthur
players tossed out of the
game.
Lewis opened the
scoring for the Stangs
early in the game,
followed by Bill Peters
tally before Arthur got on
the scoreboard to end the
first period 2-1. The
-Stangs were held
scoreless throughout the
second period while
Arthur notched a •couple
to take a 3-2 lead into the
third period.
Arthur opened the
scoring in the third period
before the Mustangs got
rolling and then the
Stangs proceeded to
score four unanswered
goals to sew the game up.
The Mustangs marksmen
in the third period were,
Paul Helesic, Gary
Peters, Bill Lewis and
Tim McLean.
The Mustangs r ,main
in a heated battle with the
Listowel Cyclones for
second place, while the
Kincardine Kinucks hold
down the top spot. The
Stangs will have a chance
to take sole possession of
second place Thursday
(tonight) at 8:30 when the
Cyclones come to town

rNorth American Indians introduced the white to maple le sugar and since then,
"sugaring off" has become a late winter
tradition on the continent's north east. Because
of the value of the sweet sap to the Indians, they
quickly surrounded its origin with myths and
superstitions.
The Mohicans, for instance, believed that the
melting snow in the spring furnished the Maple
trees with their sap. The snow, which came from
the sky, was in fact the oil of the great celestial.
bear which had been killed by winter hunters.
The Chippewas and Ottawas believed that Ne-
naw-bo-zhoo (one of their less likeable spirits) on
finding. the sweet sap deliberately diluted it so it
involved a lot of.work to obtain the sugar. This, it
was felt, would make the sugar much more
valuable to his people. '
Our Indians gathered the sap by making a
large V-shaped gash in the trunk. A reed, curved
piece of bark or hollow twig was placed in the
point of the Vee to trickle the sap into a large
trough. The troughs were, generally made from
bark or carved ' from a basswood log and were
also used to separate the sugar. The method they
used involved alternately heating the sap with
hot rocks and then letting it freeze. The ice which
formed was skimmed 'off and the process
repeated till only the thief syrup remained.
Today, of course, methods are much' more
efficient, but the principle is the same. If you
have t. couple of big maples on your property, it
may be possible for you to get as much'as four
gallons of syrup from them. That, of course, is
the optimum yield but you would not be out of
line .to expect a gallon of syrup, from any tree
with a diameter of. '25 inches or more. A tree of
this size can yield (with four tap holes) up to 100
gallons of sap which will generally produce two
gallons of high quality syrup.
The tapholes themselves should be bored from
two to three feet above the ground and about
three inches deep. The holes should also be bored
with a slight downward pitch'. A % or seven -
sixteenth inch hole is the ideal size to tap a spile
into and all buckets should be covered if possible.
The boiling down process should be done only
in a kitchen with a good ventilating fan as great
amounts of steam will be given off. Start off b y
reducing the sap to about one-third of its original
volume, always keeping in mind that fresh sap
will sour quickly if stored. After the initial
reduction, the finishing oft can begin. At this
stage, a good candy thermometer will come in
very handy. Set a pan of water on the stove, and
when it reaches a rolling boil, check the tem-
perature. Now, set your reduced sap to boil and
when the temperature is 7 degrees F above that
of your boiling water, you have maple syrup. Soft
sugar requires 26 to 28 degrees F above boiling
point, while hard sugar needs 30 to 33 degrees F.
When your .,,syrup has cooled, store in clean
sterilized airtight jars and enjoy your own
homemade maple syrup for as long as -it lasts.
Unless you have a large wood)tiot handy, chances
are you'll be looking for a source to replenish
your stock before too many months have passed.
