Coo g outdoors
Cooking outdoors is fun, and with the suM-
mer camping season almost on us, there is
bound to be a lot of it going on. Barbecuing is
probably the most form, and with
the new gas outfits, all the little quirks have
been eliminated. If; ;however, you still use
the old briquettes, here's a tip you might
want to now. To judge the heat of your
coals, hold your hand, palm down over them
at cooking height. The: length of time you
can hold it there is a good indication of the
temperature. Two seconds means it's high,
3 seconds - medium high, 4- seconds -
medium low and 5 seconds - low. To cool a
briquette fire down, move the coals apart -
to heat it up, tap the ash.off and move the
coals closer together. Old hands with the
charcoal will know all this, but newcomers
may not be awareof,it.
Coleman stoves are the mainstay of the
campground set, and with all the ac-
cessories you can get, there isn't anything
you can de at home better. The best little ac-
cessory is the toaster. It's inexpensive, and
after a try or two is very easy to use. And
nothing is better, or easier, than lots of toast
and jam for breakfast, along with a few cups
of good strong coffee, , especially if it's hot
weather. Bacon and eggs are fine for cold
mornings, but in sultry weather, they're just
too heavy:
The other accessory which is worth its
weight in gold is the oven which operates in
connection with their stove. The oven col-
lapses and sets up in a matter of seconds,
which makes it easy to store and transport.
When it's operating, a simple dial on the
door gives you an accurate temperature
reading, and - size permitting • - will do
everything your oven at home will do except
broil. Roasts, casseroles, pies andcakes are
all easy., and if you want to get real fancy,
you can even bake bread. Actually, when
camping, a good recipe for bannock, or its
Australian cousin called damper is in-
dispensable.,it's a heavy bread, but it's sim-
ple to make, turns out every time, and
smothered with butter, it's the perfect ac-
companiment to a fireside meal.
Cooking over an open fire is becoming a
lost art and maybe even its name "open
fire” is.partly responsible. Most people I've
watched stoke the fire up until it'sreally
blazing, then dance around holding a pan at
arm's length while, trying to get close

enough to cook arid still avoid singed '
eyebrows at the same time. If you're going
to use flames, the fire must be smaller than
the bottom of the pot or pan you are using,
and .confined with rocks, larger logs, or a
trench in the ground to direct the heat up-
wards to where you want to do the cooking.
The better way, of course, is to cook over
glowing coals.
If you are planning to have a campfire to
sit around later, it's a good idea to build it up
early and establish a good bed of hardwood
coals. Off to the side, arrange your grill on
balancing rocks or whatever, and when you
are ready to start cooking just transfer
coals with a shovel from the campfire. It
makes everything a lot easier - less heat to
contend with, more accurate control over
the temperature, and best of all, little or no
smoke to dodge.
Foil cooking is one of the handiest ways of
preparing food, but it does take a little prac-
tice. The biggest mistake people make is
trying to cook things too fast, and they wind
up with charred outside pieces and raw in-
teriors. When you use tinfoil, steam is what
does most of the cooking, so make sure your
joints are crimped up tight and the heat is
kept low. Also, when you're wrapping the
food up, keep the shiny side in.
One last hint when cooking outdoors. Plan
your menus beforehand, and make sure the
different items are compatible with your
method of cooking. If you try a meal which
requires frying three different items, you
will either have to have three frying pans or
wind up with the first cooked item cold by
thtime you serve it. A good example of
do tiling up tosave time and effort might be
breakfast. Instead of fried eggs, why not
boil them. The water they were boiled in Can
then either be used for coffee or washing
dishes. It saves an extra pot, fuel and time
and works well. With. a little. thought and
practice, it's. possible to provide a whole
family with a good variety of wholesome
food using only a frying pan, a pot and a tea
pail, with a little help from your everpresent
tinfoil, of course.
Instead of just throwing everything helter
skelter this summer and heading out, try a
little preplanning. It really saves a lot of
work and time when you should be enjoying
yourself. .

BAYFIELP The Bayfield Bounders will
be Challenging CFPL's Team 10 to a cricket
match on July 1. Both teams will donnig
white uniforms and swinging flat cricket
bats all in fun, to celebrate Ontario's
Bicentennial.
According to Bayfield Bicentennial
organizer, Helen Owen, both teams have
been hard at work. -practising the unfamiliar
sport to achieve the game's object which is
to score runs when at bat and to put out or
dismiss the opposing batsmen when in the
field.
The game is played with a bat and ball on
a large field known as a ground, between
two teams of 11 players.
Each side has two innings, normally taken
alternately. The matches are played for a
predetermined length of time and often two
days or more are required to finish (a team
at bat may accumulate as many as 300 to 400
runs before the opposing team can retire all
players). International or test matches
between national teams of selected players
last at least five days or a minimum of 3,
hours.
The pitch on which the game is played is
22 yards long with a `wicket' at each end.
The wicket comprises three `stumps' which
are joined at the top with two small pieces of
wood called `bails'. The bats used have a flat
surface, and -the ball is made of red leather
weighing 5 oz.
The bowler (note the over arm action)
sends the ball down to the batsman with the
objective of getting him out. This may be
achieved by directly knocking down his
wicket by playing the ball on to the• wicket;
or if the batsman leaves the ground in front
of the wicket and is tumped by the wicket
keeper, or if he hits the wicket with his bat,
or if a hit is caught by one of the fielders, or,
if in attempting to make a run he fails to
reach his ground before the wicket is broken
- then he is run out. If a ball hits his leg in-
stead of the wicket he can also be declared
'out' the official term being leg before
wicket'. Thus it will be seen that the
batsman must be on the alert all the time.
Cricket ranks as the ' national sport of
England, Australia, New Zealand, South
Africa and the West Indies and is a
prominent sport in India, Pakistan and
Ceylon.
• The origin of cricket is unknown but
experts say it probably derived from the old
English word, "cryce", meaning stick, and
in its, rude form, it is said to resemble a 13th
'century game known as club -ball.
It evolved in England . during the 18th
century, mainly because of the interest of
great land owners who tried their skills �n
the field of play with their tenants and local
peasantry.
The first international or test m$011
between players chosen for their dbBilt ;
play well, was in Melbourne in 187.7. A Walk,
made up of Australia's finest players
the team off England's best in 45 ma.
• 's' .
Australia's success was, repeated in
and London's Sporting. Times reported °.
obituary announcing that cricket would be
cremated and ashes would be sent to
Australia. This gave birth to the legend,ot
"playing for the ashes" which became txhe
popular objective in games between%
England and Australia.
Today, the ashes are kept in an urn at
Lord's in England. They are the remnants of
a stump that was burned on an English tour
of Australia in 11 13.
Margaret Chapman, Bayfield Pottery
Club member, has been chosen to make the
tournament cup for the Bayfield match. The
cup will be fired in a kiln and eventually,
"token" ashes will be placed inside and the
trophy will be awarded to the champions.
London's CFPL-TV or Team 10 decided to
accept the Bayfield Bounders cricket team's
challenge because, "the offer was so out of
the ordinary."'said Glen Fuller, Team 10
promotional director.
Mr. Fuller said he is trying to get as many
"on air" personalities as possible. Though
no one has fully committed themselves yet,
people like Eric Sorenson, Jay Campbell,
and Pete Kearns have tentatively signed up
for the event.
"We are also hoping to get some of the
girls to sign up," added Mr. Fuller.
Next week, Team 10 will swing their bats,
borrowed from Western University, for the
first time. • They will be holding their first
practise outside the televisioin station and
1 Fuller joked that there will be a lot of
people standing around with "dumb
expressions on their faces."
CFPL will be advertising the event on the
Community Calender segment of the
station's broadcast and Mr. Fuller said he
was sure some of the personalities who will
be playing, will mention the match on the
air.
One Team 10 cricket member is also a
member of the famed Morris Dancers. He
has decided to offer the dancers' services
for a special intermission program and
Helen , Owen is trying to convince the
Victoria Order of Nurses, who will be there
for any emergencies, to dress in Edwardian
nurses' uniforms. To date, they are still
trying to find the costumes:. ,
Team 10 participate in various events
throughout the year, which include baseball
games and hockey tournaments. Mr. Fuller
said the challenges are met on a voluntary
.. basis and the station actually has a budget
set aside to account for the matches.
