The Ministry of Natural Resources has again maned
a warning about forest fires for this upcoming season.
So far, the cold wet spring has considerably reduced
the danger, but a hot dry spell could certainly turn that
around, and "careless people will again cause a
number of forest fires".
Some of the tips offered to help prevent forest fires
are:
- Don't smoke in the bush.
- Crush cigarettes out on bare rock or mineral soil.
- Use vehicle ash trays.
- Use a lighter, or make sure your match is out before
throwing it away.
- Make sure your camp fire is safe — which means
locating it near water, with a cleared space around it
down to the mineral soil, or on bare rock.
- Keep camp fires small, and make doubly sure they
are dead out before leaving them.
Warnings are posted in conspicuous places on in-
dicator boards throughout the north. It's a good idea to
keep an eye on these boards as you're driving so you
know what the risks are. The dial indicator goes from
low to extreme and low means fire spread is limited,
slow, and easy to extinguish. It is usually confined to
dead grass, small twigs or dead leaves that need large
heat sources like camp fires to dry them out before
they ignite.
Moderate means that fine fuels — grass, small twigs
or dead leaves — can be ignited by a burning match or
any other open flame. This kind of fire should be easy
to control.
High means most fuels will ignite easily from glow-
ing embers or burning cigarette butts. These fires
spread quickly and can jump to tree tops. They are dif-
ficult to control, and some fire restrictions may be put
into effect.
Extreme spells DANGER! All forest fuels ignite
easily. Fire spreads quickly, is difficut to control, and
fire and/or travel restrictions are in effect.
Mr. Woods said that while no one can control these
conditions — they are determined by the weather —
everyone should be extremely careful with fire at all
times.

Every once in a while, manufacturers have a pro-
blem with their production line, and Remington is no
exception. This producer of excellent ammunition has
announced the recall of defective 12 gauge rifled slug
shotshells, which were manufactured in the summer of
1982.
A small quantity of these shotshells were found to
have been loaded with insufficient powder with the
result that the slugs could lodge in barrels. Tests by
Remington have shown that use of this ammunition
can result in gun damage, and could present a hazard
to the shooter.
The 12 gauge rifled slug Remington shotshells
covered by the recall have the following markings on
the packages:
Product: 12 gauge rifled slugs
Index Number:
Remington SP12RS-SPK
Slugger 12 gauge 23/4" 1 oz. HPRS
5 Hollow Point Rifled Slugs
(on end flap)
Lot Number:
ATO1 H218
on inside of end flap)
The company said it is informing wholesalers and
dealers to withhold from sale all Remington 12 gauge
rifled slug shotshells in their inventories which bear
this lot number. Remington representatives will make
arrangements for the return of theses shotshells.
Consumers who have purchased Remington 12 gauge
rifled slug shotshells in boxes so marked should return
them to Remington for prompt, free replacement.
They should be sent collect via United Parcel Service
to:
Remington Arms Company, Inc.
Attention: R. H. Potter

P.O. Box 1939

Don't take any chances. If you have some Remington
slugs left over from last year's deer season, check
them out now while it's still fresh in your mind.

Here's a report on one of the big fishing tournaments
that are starting to catch on in Canada. While I'm per-
sonally not in favor of big money "catch as many as
you can" contests, the one at Bobcaygeon seems to be
pretty well run. The release also includes a couple of
tips for walleye fishermen.
Bobcaygeon, Ontario - There was plenty of excite-
ment here last weekend at the sixth annual Bob-
caygeon Canada - U.S. Walleye tournament while
Canadian teams attempted to maintain their lead over
U.S. fishing teams. This first of six in the 1983 Labatt's
Ontario Fishing Championships series was won by an
American team from North Tonawanda, New York.
Doug Hurtubise and John Pashong stayed in first
place over the two-day event and totalled 35.5 pounds of
walleye. They won a Lund boat, Cal trailer, 25 h.p.
Mercury outboard motor and $2,000 in cash.
The Pigeon Lake event in the Kawarthas is the
original of its kind with emphasis on conservation, live -
release and safety. Live wells were mandatory, in-
creasing live -release to 99 per cent. Next year's tourna-
ment will see aerators added to the mandatory list with
the Chamber of Commerce organizers striving for total
live release.
Second place went to a Toronto area team, Ron ,
Sooley of Bramalea and Hector Peach of Downsview
with a total of 11 fish weighing 29.6 pounds. Sooley and
Peach go home with $1,000, two Lowrance depth
sounders, Zebco rods and reels, as well as other prizes.
Third place went to another American team, Gary
Geartz from Sanborn, N.Y. and Tim Belling from
North Tonawanda, with 25.11 pounds of walleye. Their
prize is $750 cash, Zebco rods and reels and tackle.
One walleye was tagged and released by a biologist
and the lucky fisherman catching this fish will win
$1,000 from Labatt's.
Mercury Thruster motors were awarded to the
fishermen catching the big fish of the day, which was
6.9 pounds Saturday and 6.3 pounds on Sunday.
Although weather conditions remained relatively
favorable, tournament regulars noticed colder water
temperatures and higher water levels. Success was
found using spinner baits and jigs in weed beds at eight
to 12 feet of water.

ming a teaching pr
Last week we looked at
becoming a "touring", or
playing, professional golfer.
For some it is the ideal life,
but for many avid golfers,
who want a job in the golf in-
dustry, the touring pro's life
isnot their cup of tea. In that
case, why not become a club
or teaching pro?
Gorge are the previous vi-
sions of fame and fortune,
along with the adoring fans.
However, many golfers,
male and female, have found
life as a club pro to be a
wonderful way to make a liv-
ing and enjoy golf too.
Without the club pro there
really is no golf. For one
thing, who do you think
teaches the pros, or the top
amateurs? Who guides them
through the dark days of not
hitting the ball "flush"? A
teaching pro of course! Even
the best of the best need help
sometimes. That's when the
teacher is invaluable. His
technical knowledge of the
swing and t can
soon turn those ►,.,goys into
pars and birdies. Whether
you're an aspiring tour
player or a weekend duffer
looking for tier scores,
you'll find a teaching pro to
he a valuable friend, From
the quick tip to the intensive
lesson, he's there to help you
enjoy the s,.; ,;rt more.
As usual, there's a catch to
the job. Most golf pros do not
spend all their time
teaching, and likewise they
n't spend all their time
golfing either. Being a dub
professional is such a time
intensive job that playing a
game is often a luxury! The
golf industry has matured
into a big business, and the
result is that the club pro
must wear many hats.
Many club pros have spent
much of their youth in the
golfing world, either playing
or caddying as youngsters at
the local course. They con-
tinue to show an interest in
a
golf through their senior
school years. Who really
knows when, or how a rson
chooses golf as his ultimate
career?
The Canadian Profes-
sional Golf Association has
extensive guidelines for the
cultivating of the certified
C.P.G.A. pro. They prefer
applicants with at least a
grade 12 education, in good
physical condition and with
an outgoing personality.
This must be mixed with
equal amounts of dedication
aapd hard work. To become a
class A-1 head professional
can take from 10 to 15 years,
five of which are spent as an
apprentice.
A number of areas are
dealt with in great detail,
during the education of the
apprentice. Along with
supervised on-the-job train-
ing, the future pro must take
home study courses as well
as attend schools, clinics,
seminars, and workshops. At
the end of it all, there are ex -
Cycling in Ontario tells it all
Are you looking for
something to do on those
warm sunny weekends?
Something that is inexpen-
sive, fun and healthy? "Cycl-
ing in Ontario - 1983" has the
answer. This 90 page booklet
contains over 80 one day,
weekend and longer organiz-
ed bicycle tours, 45 bicycle
races, a comprehensive list
of bicycle clubs, bike shops
and free places to stay.
New to the booklet this
year is a racing schedule for
the Ontario Cycling Associa-
tion Bicycle Moto -cross
(BMX) Division. BMX is a
new form of bicycle racing
where kids young or old,
male or female race bicycles
over indoor or outdoor
tracks that are full of jumps,
bumps and berms. "Cycling
in Ontario - 1983" covers the
entire province for the bicy-
cle season between April and
November.
The booklet, published an-
nually by the Ontario Cycl-
ing Association, is an ex-
cellent source for both
recreational and com-
petitive interests.
"Demand for Cycling in
Ontario starts in January",
says Mike Phillips O.C.A.
Executive Director. "People
want to plan their activities
and vacations early and they
want all the information in
one compact package. This
book has become the Bible of
bicycling til the province."
"Cycling in Ontario - 1983"
is available at bicycle shops
across Ontario. Mike Barry
of Bicyclesport in Toronto
calls the booklet "a hot
cake". "We sell them to any
level of cyclist interested in
doing a bit of organized cycl-
ing. The reaction to the book
is very positive".
"Cycling in Ontario" is
also available from the On-
tario Cycling Association.
The cost is $2.50 per copy. It
is free to O.C.A. members.
Lots of tourneys for golfers
By Carolanne is' oig
Wasn't that fashion show
something? Everyone has
been raving about it for a
week. Before the show, I was
convinced they should make
it a centennial event instead
of annual. Now that it's over,
however, I'm looking for-
ward to the 1984 version. It
was lots of fun trying to
convince our male models
that "yes pink is fine for
men", and "no you don't look
silly with some makeup on",
and "no, Mike, you can't hit
a real ball into the audien-
ce."
If you think you were
entertained in front of the
stage you should have been
behind the scenes. Ninety
second changes are old hat
for us now!!! It was a great
experience for all of us in-
volved, and a real tribute to
our town and all the people
who helped to make it so
successful.

Do you have stamina?
Try these simple tests:
First, walk briskly up and
down a flight of stairs —
three times. If you can talk
while doing this, without
sounding out of breath, your
stamina level is probably
OK,
Second, run on the spot.
Make sure you lift your feet
six inches off the floor. If you
can keep running for two
minutes without reaching
the out -of -breath stage, once
again - your stamina is likely
pretty good. But if you find
you're out of breath before
two minutes are up, stop im-
mediately.
If you have good stamina -
congratulations. You'll know
it gives you energy to do the
things you want to do. And
your stamina is probably
developed and enhanced
through a fitness routine.
But if you feel you should
have more stamina, why not
get active? Start gently.
Build up gradually. You'll
feel better and find you can
handle tension better too. —

Ease Slicing
Raw meat is easier to slice
thinly or cube if it's partially
frozen or has been chilled in
the freezer for about one-half
hour.
Store Separately
Do not store carrots near
apples. The ethylene given
off by apples as they ripen
makes carrots bitter.

fitness questions
Q. What can I do to improve
my cardio -respiratory
fitness?
A. Choose an activity which
fulfils three criteria: it can
be done regularly; it entails
continuous movement; and
most of all, it's enjoyable. If
done vigorously, the follow-
ing activities are aerobic in
nature: cycling, swimming,
canoeing, rowing, ,cross-
country skiing, tennis, walk-
ing, squash, jogging, soccer,
etc. Sports where the move-
ment is not continuously
vigorous will not provide as
good a vehicle for improving
cardio -respiratory fitness.
These include downhill ski-
ing, water-skiing,
volleyball, badminton. Far-
ther down the line are
relatively passive activities
such as bowling, curling,
fishing and golf which will
have very little effect on
aerobic fitness.
Q. What does "aerobic" ex-
ercise mean?
A. Those types of exercises
and activities which improve
cardio -vascular fitness. That
is, efficiency of oxygen up-
take and utilization. These
include total body activities
that are sustained and con-
tinuous - in order to
challenge the cardio-
vascular and respiratory
systems.
Q. Can I exercise too hard?
A. You are the best judge of
your own limitations.
However, in a group or class
situation it's easy to become
competitive. At the begin-
ners' level, a good workout
will leave you with some
mild stiffness and soreness
in those muscles unac-
customed to activity. Only if
the soreness causes real
discomfort should you con-
sider it a result of overexer-
tion.
Q. Does smoking have much
effect on a person's cardio-
respiratory fitness?
A. In most cases, the capaci-
ty for improving cardio-
respiratory fitness is
significantly greater for non-
smokers than for smokers.
Even though smokers can
improve their fitness greatly
with training, non-smokers
are able to improve it by 5 to
10 per cent more. Naturally,
fin highly skilled athletes
engagea in endurance
sports, these differences
become much more signifi-
cant.
