Sailing lessons available
Approximately 36 students so
far have signed up to take sail-
ing lessons on a 30 foot North
Star operating out of Bayfield
harbour. The course is sponsor-
ed by Fanshawe College with
Rick McTcer of Community
Services in charge.
However, local people do not
seem to be taking advantage of
thc opportunity to take sailing
lessons from qualified instructors
as most of those enrolled so far
arc from London.
Mr. McTeer has no idea why
this is happening, but says there
arc still several openings. The
course takes one week with a
maximum of four students per
\veck.
The course runs from Monday
to Friday, 9 a.n1. to 5 p.m., at
a cost of $175 per person. A
minimum amount of time is
spent on land and on docking
procedures with the rest of the
time spent out on the lake.
Originally the organizers plan-
ned to have two ipstructors,
unfortunately, they only have one
and are presently advertising for
another. If the demand warrants
it. the organizers are consider-
ing using a second boat as well
as a second instructor.
With a planned average of 32
hours actual sailing time, the
students run into all sorts of
sailing conditions and learn how
to cope with them. If due to
weather conditions more than one
day is lost for sailing, alter-
natives will be arrangea. Sailing
on Friday and Saturday or
night sailing are two ways to
slake up for lost sailing time
through any particular week.
The courses run until Septem-
ber 3 so there is still time to
get some practical advice on
correct sailing procedures wheth-
er you already have sonic exper-
ience or are a complete novice.

Soak plants well
July and August usually mean
hot ‘vcather and periods without
rain. Ontario Ministry of Agri-
culture and Food horticulturist
R.A. Fleming says it is extremely
important at this time of the
year l'or all gardeners to keep
their outdoor plants thoroughly
watered.
"A thorough watering," ex-
plains Mr. Fleming, "means
leaving the hose running long
enough for the moisture to get
down about four to six inches into
the soil." The way to do this is
to apply one to one -and -a -half
inches of water very slowly over
the whole garden. By thoroughly
watering the plants once a week
in this fashion, your garden
should be kept in good' condi-
11o11 throughout the summer.
The problem with light water-
ings is that they tend to en-
courage the roots to develop close
to the soil surface. These shallow
rooted plants find it difficult
to withstand extended periods
of dry weather.
On the other hand, well -
watered plants will form deep
roots which arc much better able
to withstand heat and lack of
rain.
Mr. Fleming warns that it is
not a good idea to water your
plants so late in the day that
thc foliage wilt remain wet over-
night. "This could lead to mold
or fungi forming on the leaves,"
he states. "Therefore, water
early enough that the foliage is
dry before the sun goes down."

New lottery
