HALLEY'S COMJT. By
Donald Tattersfield. Basil
Blackwell, Oxford. (In
Canada: Oxford University
Press, Toronto. 176 pp.
$22.75).
Reviewed by
PERCY MADDUX
Although not discovered
by him, Halley's Comet was
named for Edmond Halley
(1656-1742), who was the
second Astronomer Royal
(1721-1742), the first having
been appointed by King
Charles II in 1675 in the per-
son of John4amsteed. •
Donald Tattersfield's book
"Hailey's Comet" describes
this comet and comets in
general, alternating between
a simple account and more
scientifc detail. Such a book
is particularly appropriate
at this time because the
comet is due to make an
appearance in 1985.
Halley's Comet traces an
elliptical course around the
sun and comes in sight of
earth aPout once in every 75
years. The last appearance
was in 1910.

NOYMO
I like to mosey around
Muskoka any time of year.
Sometimes I stop at Sloan's
in Gravenhurst for a coffee
and renew acquaintances
with old Press Club cronies
like Strathy Smith, Jack
Hutton, or Hugh Claremont.
Hugh and his trumpet have
become something of a tra-
dition in Muskoka. The day
the restored "Segwun," the
venerable' steamer, began
sailing the lakes again, Hugh
with trumpet and straw hat
was standing on the bow
playing Dixieland.
When the Bethune home-
stead was officially opened,
Hugh was there. So was Hol-
lywood's Otto Preminger,
gathering material for a
movie about Canada's
famous Dr. Bethune who was
so beloved by the Chinese.
Althdugh the big season in.,'
Muskoka is summertime,
the 1`Cavalcade of Color" in
the autumn runs it a close
second. Most of us . don't
realize that the changing
leaves up through Brace -
bridge, Huntsville, Bala and
beyond is a world-class
event. There are few places
anywhere that compare with
the spectacle.
But Muskoka is also a
beautiful district in winter. I
like to go up to High Falls
near Braeebridge where
David and Mary Brooks live.
David is with Natural Re-,
sources and puts me on to all
sorts of wildlife stories.
I'm always' wondering how
the deer are doing during the
winter months and David
makes arrangements for me
to get out to the deer -yards -
clearings where the deer
gather to feed.
We wait for a heavy snow-
fall, and when it clears I join
one of the government crews
on their regular runs.
Early in the morning, they
put snowmobiles, snowshoes
and bags of feed on trucks
and head for the yards.
The 'deer need help in the
winter. Aside from trying to
escape the natural preda-
tors, they have a hard time
getting food in the deep
snow. The crews cut the
browse that is beyond their
reach and leave it for them.
They they put grain in feed-
ers to supplement the deer's
diet.
It's an annual outing I look
forward to. As I trudge on
snowshoes across the crisp
snow in among the pines, I'm
keenly aware of the magic'of
Muskoka.
