Little did .Mary Queen QQtS know how e game would affect the - lines of men and women around. the. globe in the next few - centuries! It wouldn't besurprising if some women. think Mavis why this famous Queen Was beheaded.. Yes, Mary really started something. The Scottish males neglected their wives and families t play golf. They neglected shooting practice to such an extent that the king banned golf because he felt it was bad for the country's defense. The hardy Scots were not to be deterred by any royal order and they continued to play golf. In the years that followed increasing numbers of men enjoyed the game of golf, but the number Qf women golfers remained much smaller, Golf widows became more • naturally With the fishing season in full swing, I thought a few words abOut looking after your catch would be appropriate. The two main things to do are: 1 - clean your catch as ,soon as possible and 2 - keep it cool. The entrails of a fish start to spoil first, so it is a good idea to clean it as quickly as you can after having caught it. The gills should also be removed at this time, especially if the fish is to be stored for awhile. Cleaned and gilled, a fish will store for a surprising length of time and still retain its freshly caught flavor. Remember, however, that it is illegal to throw the entrails ' back into the water so try to find an alternate method of disposal. Keeping your catch cool is a lot simpler than you might imagine. One thing you should never do is suspend the fish in water. "On- ice in a cooler is a good idea, but "in" ice water in the bottom of a cooler is not. Open the drain so the water can scape, or take some of the ice from the cooler and wrap it up with the fish in newspaper or paper towels. Wet newspaper or paper towels, a damp burlap -bag or piece of cloth or even moist grass or moss will keep fish cool by the process of evaporation. Ohe oftlie best 'outfits yet designed if you're doing a lot of walking is the old fashioned widker creel. The open basketwork allows for good air circulation and a small amount' of wet vegetation inside does a sur- prisingly good job: I've heard of a little trick the Indians used to use to know if the fish were biting or not. I can't personally say if it works or not, but it may be worth a try. The Indians soon discovered that animal movements seemed to be affected by the phases of the moon, and that at certain times they fed more vigorously than others. Naturally, they reasoned that if animals did it, then so did fish. As a result of this, they used to gear their majOr fishing expeditions to wildlife activity. How does this translate to modern times? Supposedly, it's very simple. If a herd of cattle are up and feeding actively, you can look for- ward to a good day's fishing. If they appear listless or are resting, don't count, on catching your supper. You can even (so I'm told) figure out what time or times of day. are best by using the same method. As I said, I can't verify the accuracy of this technique, but I think I'll watch to see if it does work. After all, on the surface anyway, it would appear that the logic is sound. + + -I- Ever wanted to try smoking your own fish? Here's a simple and inexpensive way to build a smoker and give yourself a treat. Firstly, you need a fish which should be filleted, steaked or cut into chunks. Soak it in a. strong brine s9lution, to which a little brown sugar has been added, overnight. Then let it dry in the air until a glaze has formed on the outside. While the fish is drying, you can construct your smoker. Take a liquor box, or any sturdy car- dboard box, open the bottom, and tape the flaps up the side'so it will stand firmly. The grill can be constructed by pushing barbecue skewers or straightened coat hangers through the sides of the box about six inches from the top. Now build your fire. About six charcoal briquets in an old tin pieplate are all you will need. When these are going good, and covered with ash, add a handful of hardwood chips or sawdust (apple or hickory are traditionally the best), and set your "smoker" over it. Lay the fish on the grill and fold the top in place. A small rOck,..brick or plank will hold everything in place, and all you have to do is wait. Check occasionally to be sure the bottom of the box is not getting too hot, and douse with water if necessary. More chips will likely have to be added about once every hour. Allow four hours for fish pieces two inches thick, and correspondingly less time for thinner pieces: The longer the fish is smoked, the harder ' it becomes and the longer the storage life. Once L. you taste it, you won't have to worry about storing it. One of the best ways to eat it is sliced thin and served up as an appetizer with that sundowner before supper. prevalent and in recent years* studies have been done to determine the numberrharriaofd es, with golffaailsea main contributing factor to -the dilemma Golf need not be a • source Qf irritation, and object for complaints among wornen. Golf IS a game that women can enjoy to the' same extent as men. Since 4ary Queenof Soots introduced • the game to, her .peopW, . women have taken part in the sport. The first ladies! 4 golf union in Britain was lormed in 1893; In 1895 the United States held its • first ladies,' cham- pionship. The ladies professional tour has o erated for man ears although purses were small and only a small number of ladies par- ticipated. The men's tour received the main at- tention. In the 1960s women's interest in golf boomed. Women found they had more money and time on their hands. They became more interested in exercise and the outdoors. Before, exercising outdoors meant hanging out the wash for many women. Husbands were...soon joined on the golf course by their wjves and golf became a family affair. Many clubs formed ladies' sections catering to the desires of ladies bent on enjoying their new found sport. Soon eq uip ment mann f a c - turers recognized the new market. Ladies' clubs, bags, and golfing ap- parel became a significant part of the golf industry. By 1972 over one quarter of American golfers were women and the sale of ladies' equipment and soft goods soared. It became fashionable to play the game rather than just visit the club for a drink with.a golfing friend.. 'The Ladies Professional Golf Association began to receive • more support from individuals, as well as more coverage by the media. More tour- naments were added to the tour. These tour- naments had larger purses to be won and were sponsored by well- known companies and popular celebrities. The Dinah Shore - Colgate Tournament is one of the best known tournaments on the ladies' tour. The result of this support was amazing. Soon more young women were hoping to compete on the pro tour. The tour became more lucrative and the women were willing to devote tie time needed to be -a really great golfer. The media exposure grew and golfing fans found that ladies' golf was just as exciting to atch as the men's golf.' Names like Nancy Lopez, Sandra Post and Jane Blalock became as familiar to golfers as Palmer and Nicklaus. These young ladies showed us that they weren't only beautiful, but talented also. They are living proof that women can participate in golf and enjoy it as much as the men.

Iligh School (SDHS) this Saturday. The invitational meet, organized by SDHS coach Terry Johnston, is at- tracting top field athletes from high schools in Ontario. The meet is named after Seaforth athlete Johnny Nielsen, who has won a number of shot put and discus awards in competitions in Ontario. He recently won a gold medal in the shot put at the Mansfield Relays in Mansfield, -Ohio, About 300 schools from Canada and the United States took part in the meet. The Seaforth meet was organized to provide competition for field athletes, since most meets ernphasize track rather than field events. Events in the Seaforth meet include the shot put and discus, the javelin thrown ane the high jump.
