Pickling, salting, and drying or smoking were the only alternatives left to them, and meat especially was preserved by all three methods. I've, lumped these into three distinct groups, but there is a good deal of overlap. Smoking meat in order to preserve it is far different fromlhe processes used to "smoke" meat today and was actually a drying process. In a lot of cases, the actual smoke was just incidental, used to keep flies off the meat during the drying process. Definitely, the most primitive form of preservation was drying, and that's the form we will deal with here. Just about everyone has heard about the "jerky" and "pemmican" that our early explorers used as a trail food. It is enjoying a mild revival among backpackers because of its excellent keeping qualities, light weight and high available protein content. Jerky, however, never was and probably never will be a gourmet's first choice. The first settlers in the Southern part of Africa were faced with the ome problems their North American counterparts had, but somehow they managed to perfect their drying drying process so that today, their variation of dried meat is held in high esteem, and commands an exorbitantly high price on the market place. The old Boer name for this meat which still survives today is of course Biltong. As far as I can figure out, the name was derived from the name of one of the major muscles, the ronde bilton located in the., bill: (Dutch for thigh) of the animal. Since the haun- ches of the animal were typically used in this drying process, I feel safe in assuming that this explanation would be as good as any other which might come along. The basic difference between biltong and jerky is that biltong is dried without smoke, and is prepared with spices that give it a unique flavor. It is kind of a unique situation in that during the rains in South Africa, it is too hurnid to make biltong, and during the dry season the flies disappear so smoking is not necessary. There are also probably as many different recipes for biltong as there are people who make it. The one that follows is a bare bones basic, but can be • experimented with until your own particular tastes are met. While biltong is traditionally made from game, any lean red meat can be substituted. Be sure, however, that the meat is lean as fatty tissues will go rancid on you The first step is to cut the meat into strips, along the grain, approximately l'a" wide, ta" thick and as long as you can get them. The thickness can be varied, but the bigger the piece of meat, the longer the drying. time, and the harder it is to get a good finished product. The next step is the one that lets your own individual tastes run rampant. In a glass or crockery dish stainless steel can be used, but always avoid aluminum►, put down, a light dusting of powdered cloves in the bottom. Then comes a fine layer of pepper just barely visible) followed by a heavier layer of corriander. Pour some vinegar (cider or wine vinegar is best l in a bowl, and have a bowl of salt ready beside it. Pick up your first piece of biltong, dip your other hand in the vinegar and stroke the biltong until it is wet. Spread a layer of salt on the meat using the same method and place in the prepared bowl. Continue until the bottom is covered, then repeat the process with the spices ( 9 dding any extras you want at this point.) Carry on with another layer of meat and spices until all your meat is in the bowl. Finish up with a last ap- plication of spices, and set aside to marinate for 12 to 24 hours. The longer this mixture sits, the saltier the finished biltong will be, so if you're apprehensive, try the 12 hour marinade first. Also, the dryer the biltong gets, the more the salt is concentrated. The final step is to hang the meat in a shaded, well vented area until it has dried enough to be hard, yet will still bend without breaking. A well screened porch is ideal as it will also keep flies out. When your biltbng is ready, reach for it instead of a chocolate bar. Shave off thin curls with a sharp pocket knife, and get ready to be addicted. By the time you've finished your first batch, you'll wish you'd started your Second about a week earlier' second with his Nota Slowpoke. Art Abbot finished third driving Jay Dee Lonesome for James. D. Taylor of Hen- sall in the first. Frank Mac- Donald was fourth with Cen- tinare for May & Walter Pep- per of Clinton in the seventh and second with Wee Devil, trained by Judi Andrews of Albert DeBlock of Lucan in a 2:05 mile in the eighth. Den- nis Jewitt was .third with DONNAS. BEST for the Wayne Horner Stable. At Goderich Raceway on July 16, Rio Command N, owned by Vincent Li of Wind- sor, with Greg Darnell on the bike, won the ninth race. The nine-year-old New Zealand bred pacer, that was Seaforth owned at one time, has a 2:03.1 record and lifetime earnings of $62,665.

By Bud Sturgeon The second annual Stanley Steamers slo-pitch tourna- ment was a resounding suc- cess as fans packed the bleachers continually throughout the two day event to watch 16 teams vie for prize money and trophies. The Bayfield Knighthawks were the A Division Cham- pions while the Mitchell BP's were the B Division Consola- tion champs. The major sponsorship of the tournament came from Molson's Breweries, however, other contributions to the event came from Ross Scott Fuels; Ken Jackson `Surge'; Ontario Hydro; Cook's Feed Mills; McLeans Sports; H. Lobb and Sons; Agrico Fertilizer; Mel Gingeric h 'Pioneer Seeds' ; B & T Antenna Sales; Claire Masse Trucking; Milt Dietz; Bully Gully; Bayfield Building Centre; Bill Steckle `North King'; Cyanimid Fertilizer; Huron Tractor; and T.B. Allen Feeds. All these firms donated gifts for the Most Valuable Player from each team in every game as well as for all the homerun hitters. Molson's provided many, many trophies and gifts and loaned the sound system for the play by play. The Varna ladies once again outdid themselves as they operated the greatest little hot dog stand, next to the diamond, featuring their famous bacon burgers with fried onions. On the playing field, the baseball action was superb. The first round got under- way on Saturday .morning with the winners advancing to A division play. and the first game losers were relegated to B Division con- solation play. Of the seven teams entered from the local South Huron Mens Slo-Pitch Loop, five made the A Divi- sion, the Bayfield Knighthawks, Bayfield Flyers, Stanley Steamers, Bluewater Lakers and Dashwood Gamblers, while the two Zurich teams; the Eagles and the Cobras, played out the tournament in the B Grouping. In B Division play the Eagles trounced their cross- town rival Cobras by a 15-4 score thus advancing to the semi-finals. The Eagles then got by the tough Kirkton teani, 11-5, to move into the final on Sunday afternoon against the Mitchell BP's. • Mitchell, who were the win- ners of the G6derich Tourna- • ment a week ago,. 'had defeated the Crediton Cowboys 20-4 to reach the final. In a wide open and. high scoring game, the BP's "pulled off a 20-13 victory Over the Zurich Eagles to win the B Trophy and $100' in prize money. The Eagles took. home $60 as the runners-up. In A division play, the Dashwood -Gamblers took a 10-2 lead over the Bluewater Lakers and cruised to an 18-4 win to reach the semi-finals. The Bayfield Knighthawks, sparked by a three run homer off the bat of Gil Latimer and a solo shot by Greg Butler, overcame an early 6-1 Paul Bunyan lead and went on to an 11-10 vic- tory. The host Stanley Steamers led the Wallaceburg Ram - chargers 5-0 after two inn- ings of ° play but gave up 11 runs in the bottom of the fifth and lost by a 12-5 score. The Bayfield Flyers fell behind the Winthrop Oilers early in their game and a seventh in- ning rally fell short as they were clipped by an • 8-7 margin. In the A semi-finals the Knighthawks had little trou- ble with Wallaceburg as they led all the way to a 10-2 vic- tory. Dashwood reached the final by virtue of a 13-5 troun- cing of the Winthrop Oilers. This set up the championship game between the two perennial rivals in the South Huron'League. The Knighthawks st ck early and led 4-0 after o e in- ning with Greg Butler homering. The Gamblers turned the tables in the se- cond inning and grabbed a 5- 4 lead, as they sent ten bat- ters to the plate. In the third, the Knighthawks went ahead to stay as they scored twice more to lead 6-5. There was no further scoring after the ffth and Bayfield took the 11-5 decision to win the A cham- pionship trophy and the $125 in prize money. Each player also received individual gifts from Molsons. The Dashwood team took home $75 in prize money as the runners-up.
