Clinton golfers go
to Mitchell tourney
This week a contingent
of ladies is heading to
Mitchell to play in the
Mitchell Ladies' Golf
Tournament. It may not
be the Canadian Open but
the competition is sure to.
be close and the good
times will make up for
some of the scores. The
ladies from the Seaforth
Club going to the tour-
nament are Bunn
Longstaff, Jean Stewart,
Gail Price, Chris Walsh
and Carolanne Doig.
Clinton will be
represented by Laura
Anstett, Kay Sharp, Mert
Elliott and Jean Bartliff.
The tournament will be
over by press time but by
next week a rundown on
the performances will be
reported.
There are many ladies'
tournaments in the area
which give the female
golfers lots of opportunity
to try their hand on other
courses in a competitive
situation. The date for the
Seaforth Ladies' Tour-
nament has been set for
July 25.
Ladies' golf is in-
creasing in popularity
and everyone is aware of
those lovely ladies who
play the game fora living
on the Ladies'
Professional Golf Tour.
Many will never attain
that level of performance
but as long as they enjoy
the game, that's what
keeps them going.
It is interesting to know
something of the first
women to grace the game
of golf. One of these great
ladies was Babe
Zaharias, an American
athlete who won two gold
medals in the 1932
Olympics in Los Angeles
before ever taking up golf

speaking
A good sturdy large brushpile, is probably the
easiest way to provide habitat for a variety of
wildlife, and it's also one of the most effective.
While a variety of wildlife makes use of brush -
piles, cottontail rabbits are .probably the prin-
cipal species that benefits from their con-
struction. The past few years have been hard on
cottontails, so a helping hand would be more
than welcome by them.
Location and method of construction are the
two features which will either make your brsh-
pile a haven for wildlife or a sterile pile of wood.
Built. in -the middle of a large sterile -forest; the
pile will be of some limited use, but in order to
reach its full potential, it should be located in
that prime, heavily populated "edge" area. This
is the strip of bush that contains a heavy growth
of underbrush glitti'i;pi rides most of the
requirements necessary for an animal to sur-
vive. It also harbours about 90 per cent of all
wildlife species.
Construction is equally important. Brushpiles
should be large with a good strong base to
prevent collapse. They should also be built on a
small hill, rise or hummock so they are out of
water when it rains or during spring runoff. I
usually look for a fallen tree to use as a base if
possible, but only if it falls across high ground. If
such a tree is not available, I build a "crib -style"
foundation out of logs for the base. Then I build a
"big" brushpile. By big, I mean something in the
neighbourhood of 15 feet across, by six to eight
feet tall in the center. This almost guarantees
that it will be used. I prefer to construct one
brushpile that will be utilized rather than three
or four smaller ones that may or may not attract
residents.
Building a brushpile is a good family activity.
If the whole family pitches in and takes a Sunday
afternoon to create a "rabbit house" beside your
favorite cross country ski trail this summer,
chances are you will be amply rewarded this
winter with a maze of tracks in the snow as well
as an occasional sighting.

The Tackle for Tykes program initiated by the
Federation of Anglers and Hunters is off to a
great start. Over 20 clubs across Ontario are
participating by collecting donations of tackle
and organizing fishing outings for un-
derprivileged kids. We 'still need your help
however. All donations of fishing tackle (and -or
a couple of dollars if you prefer) will be
gratefully accepted. Check with your local
conservation club to see if they're accepting
donations, or mail them direct to "Tackle for
Tykes", c -o Ontario Federation of Anglers and
Hunters, P.O. Box 28, Peterborough, Ontario,
K9J 6Y5. Don't let it end there however.
If you're a fisherman, take a kid fishing with
you once this summer. You'll probably enjoy the
experience as much as the kid id you can rest
assured that you've helped someone else enjoy
the great outdoors.
Motocross
finale held
The Di-Jer '79
Motocross Series was
climaxed Sunday at its
Grand Finale held at
Hully Gully, near Varna.
The series consisted of
four race events in May "
and June, with over 400
different athletes taking
part in the racing tour-
nament. Chuck Collins of
Varna was second in the
junior 250, while Calvin
James of Brussels was
fourth in the junior open.
which later became her
only sport. Babe's suc-
cess was due to her
strength and long hours
of practise.
In 1946 she won the U.S.
Amateur, the following
year going to Britain and
becoming the first
American to hold the
winner's title there. She
became professional and
won the U.S. Open three
times. She had a strong
sense of publicity and
attracted great crowds.
She had a strong in-
fluence on giving impetus
to the women's
professional circuit,
which was just coming
into being.
Today the women
golfers on- tour share the
spotlight just as much as
the men and names like
Nancy Lopez, Carol
Mann, Mickey Wright
and Sandra Post are
familiar to all those in-
terestedin the game.
It's nice to know that
Canada has a good
representative on the
Ladies' Tour in Sandra
Post. Sandra has won
several tournaments,
including the Colgate -
Dinah Shore twice in.. a.
row. She is consistently a
high money winner on the
tour."
Another Canadian lady
who had been a
household name is Mrs.
Marlene Stewart Streit
who is noted as Canada's
pre-eminent woman
golfer of all time and one
of the great women
golfers of the world. She
is of small stature and
possesses a lovely
compact swing. This
gives her great accuracy
and when added to her
determination and
courage, combines to
give her greatness. '
