material covering everything
from instruction, to fashions,
to hunaourous stories. Sub-
scriptions are available for
around 512.00 a year. Allow
6-8 weeks for delivery. The
golf magazines are a great
gift whether on the receiving
or giving end. -
Books make an excellent
gift and whether hardcover
or paperback, any golfer will
cherish a pod book. Golf is a
game that. has become the
subject of reams of material,
therefore finding a golf book
ilki/pr
will be no ' oblem. However
choos' the right one „for,
your go fer may take some
time and thought. To give
you some ideas of the variety
I will mention a few books
and give you some idea about
what to expect from them.
A GOOD BOOK
, One of my favourites,
and a book that golfers,
young and old, can enjoy is
the Encyclopedia of Golf, ed.
Donald Steel and Peter Ryde.
This is no pocket book but it
is great for just picking up
and leafing through. Filled
with many photos and illu-
strations, the book covers the
history of golf, golf courses,
around the world, and golf -
mg personalities. The
authors have given the book
a definte British influence,
and the only setback is that
like any other encyclopedia,
the records are soon broken,
and therefore out of date. For
information as well as enjoy-
ment, the book is super.
For young golfers Gary
Player has an excellent book
of instruction and drills in
which Gary and his son
compare techniques. This
would be an ideal book for a
keen" young golfer. Entitled
"Gary Player's Golf Batik for
Young People",. it sells for
about 58.95. At the other end
of the spectrum is Sam
Sneads book "Golf Begins at
Forty". In this book Sam
tells how to maximize age
and experience to help lower
your golf score, for only
59.95.
Nancy Lopez and Jane
Blalock, two of the best
known L.P.G.A. players ,
each, have books on the
market. "The Education of a
Woman Golfer", by Nancy
f.opez ' is her own story
about her sudden rise to
prominence on the tour and
the consequences. Jane
Blalock's book. The Guts to
Win" tells about this contro-
versial player's views about
winning on the pro tour. ,
On the lighter side Golf
Digest offers a book for only
59.99 milled "(eat Golf
Humour". Inside are 30
humourous short stories and
76 cartoons about our favour-
ite game. Less expensive. at
only 55.95 is Ted Barnett ' as
book, "Cliff is Madness",
containing 10 stories poking
fun at golf.
Most of us golfers are
always looking for help with

• A SET OF PRIM
Getting away , from
books, a gift that is different
would be a set of prints from
Loyal H. Chapman's collect-
ion of Infamous Golf Holes.
These prhits come in two
sizes suitable for framing,
either 9"x12" or 18"x24".
The smaller ones sell for
$9.95 each or $74.95 for the
nine hole set, prices for the
larger prints are $19.95 each
or 5149.95 a set, The paint-
ings show fantasy golf holes
in settings such as Victoria
Falls, The Grand Canyon,
and Mount Fuji. Many golf-
ers are aware of these
paintings but are unaware
that copies can be pur-

Well, the old orange truck finally bit
the dust.
That relic had almost become a landmark
in Seaforth in the nine short years that it
traversed the streets. Saturday the legend -
came to an end. Bill Pinder's pickup retired
to the great junk yard in the sky.
The end came at the Fall Fair Saturday. •
Falling victim to Paul Riddell's Auto.
Daredevils, the truck died a slow, a-
gonizing death as it was repeatedly forced
up a ramp. Flying through space, the old
beast landed atop a less than adequate
beat up old car.,. which, moments Itefore, had
been rolled once completely.
The gasoline -thirsty mob ooed and awed
as the truck was tortured. To their
surprise, the sturdy old pickup valiantly
drove right over the crushed car, landed
upright, and drove on. The seCond time
round, without any brakes the performance
was ' repeated. Again the truck survived,
but required a bit of work to get it restarted
after stalling.
Death came on the third jump. It was
just too much. The truck managed to land
on its own four wheels once again, but this
time the front tires were pointing in
different directions, and the radiator was
playing Niagara Falls. With the side panels
buckled and bent, and the top of the back
cab caved in, the last flame of mechanical
life flickered out of the decrepit orange
hauler,
-
But it had been a good life. Born in 1970,
its first master was Glen Price of Clinton.
In Wit,. he sold the vehicle to Bill Pinder,
of Goderich Street Fast. Bill, dissatisfied
with the ,original green colour, had it
painted orange. He added the familiar whit
cabe to the back, and had the doors and the
tail gatelettered "Deep Steam Extraction"
a company Hill is involved with.
With 20:00D miles on its odometer, this
Chevrolet pickup with its new jpaint job
acted as if it owned the streets,Harading
about like a travelling billbeard, it could
frequently be seen adorning the Main
Street.
But alas, all legends must come to an
..end, and last spring, with more than
110,000 miles to its credit, the trudkwas
traded to Seaforth Motors in favour of a
new customized van. The truck was retired
to the empty lot between the auto
dealership and the road leading to the town
dump.
"I thOught it looked lonely, out in the.
middle of that field," remarks Bill, as he
explains that he was considering buying
the old truck again. It would have come in
hahdy, he says, and he hated to see it rot
away, alone, after years of faithful service.
The demoli tion of the pickup was a
surprise to Mr. Pinder, as he only heard of
it Monday night. He had been out .of town
for the weekend, hadn't been told Os was
going to happen. He was shocked, and
disappointed he hadn't kept it for himself.
"I was sorry to see that old truck go like
that," Mourns Bill, who had Used the
vehicle for everything from hauling fence
posts and fertilizer to accommodation for
the "entire family on weekend camping
trips.
But it was a suitable ending, full of
bravery and respect. It was only fitting that
such a famous get of wheels as the old
orange truck should go out in a blaze of
glory before a large audience.
