Years ago, when the North American Continent was
first being explored by Europeans, jerky and pem-
mican was the mainstay of the diet. Untold generations
of Indians before that period used the same food staple
when travelling, on extended hunting expeditions, on
the warpath, and stored as a hedge against the long
harsh winters. It was simple to make, light to carry,
nutritious, and if properly prepared and kept dry,
would keep indefinitely. If furs were the reason for the
development of Canada and the U.S., then jerky was
the means.
School children learn about jerky from history
books, and some hunters 1 know inake their own to
carry in the bush with them. It's a delightful snack
when you are on the move, and a brief rest with a cou-
ple of pieces makes you feel like you've just had a good
satisfying meal. The prolonged chewing period
associated with jerky gives the sensation of a lot of
food, and because it is a substantial material, it quickly
relieves hunger pangs, and it stays with you for a con-
siderable length of time.
Recently, A & D Butchers from Lindsay, Ontario
have been preparing jerky on a commercial scale, and
introducing it to local legions and variety stores, etc. It
is /rade from pure beef, with water, salt, spices and
natural smoke used in the process. Sodium nitrate is
the only additive, and it is there only because of
Government regulations. A stick of jerky costs about
the same as a chocolate bar, won't melt in your pocket,
and is probably better for you. Try a couple of pieces,
and you'll find it very easy to get hooked on. The next
time you go for a walk, hike, or head out hunting, carry
some in your pocket. It's not only good, but it gives you
a feeling of security to know you have "emergency ra-
tions" with you.

Hunters, fishermen and campers, in fact all outdoor
people, will probably appreciate the announcement of
a new flashlight from Normark. This new light, called
the Long Lite, is engineered to meet those special out-
door needs, but still serves well as just an all-around
utility flashlight.
What makes this light so different? Well, there are a
couple of features which are unique. The first one is an
extra deep reflecting cone, which focuses the beam in-
to a concentrated ray of light.
I've been playing around with one for several weeks,
and am still amazed at the distance it will throw a
workable beam. Coon hunters should be able to shine
out a pair of eyes at over twice the distance they're us-
ed to, and boaters would find the portability of the light
ideal for picking out markers and buoy numbers at
night. I took it along smelt fishing on the weekend, and
it was the handiest light I've ever used for that.
The other feature, which makes it so powerful, is that
it takes six D cells. This in itself is not unusual, but the
arrangement of the batteries in this light keeps it to a
manageable size, rather than the typical "yard long"
six celler.
The case is off durable red and black high impact
plastic to prevent breakage, and a spare bulb is tucked
away in a special holder under the cap. A lanyard clips
on to the handle so it can be slung over the shoulder or
hung up on a nail or peg. A special flat base keeps it
steady when sitting on the ground, and pointing in the
direction you want. For more information regarding
your closest dealer, write to Normark Ltd., 1350 Phillip
Murray Ave., Oshawa, Ontario, LIJ 6Z9. The sug-
gested list price on this light is $24.95.

GoIfers need a warm up
By Carolanne Doig
It was a rather cool
wintery weekend, but the
course was open and it was
good to see all the area
golfers back at their favorite
summer sport, but the
weather is going to have to
warm up a bit before 1 ven-
ture out onto the course. For-
tunately not everyone minds
those northerly breezes.
Keeping warm on the golf
course is the main problem
in playing spring and
autumn golf. This week we'll
have a look at warming up
and keeping warm on the
course.
Golfers always amaze me.
They come out on the coolest
of days and are bundled up to
ward off the elements. Most
golfers have the latest in
warm sweaters, slacks,
windbreakers, and hats.
Some even carry pocket
warmers to keep their hands
comfortable between shots.
This doesn't amaze me
because dressing warmly is
just being sensible.
However, what about warm-
ing up the body and mind
before heading out on the
course?
When I see a couple of
golfers rush from the
clubhouse to the first tee, hit
the ball and take off, I shake
my head. No warm up and no
practice, just hit the ball and
go. Golf must be the only
sport where the average
player doesn't bother with a
pre -game warmup. We have
all seen joggers, takers, and
other athletes warm up slow-
ly with stretching exercises
and calisthenics. Before a
hockey, basketball, or soc-
cer game, even before a dart
garne, there is usually 10-15
minutes spent getting the
body moving and getting thy
feel of the equipment or
playing area. Why not in
golf? Why race to the tee,
take a practice swing and
then boom one into the corn
field? Time can't be that
short. Besides it takes longer
to re -tee, hit again and then
find the first ball, than it
does to start off right down
the middle. It would really
be faster, not to mention
more fun, to warm up for 10
minutes and then play more
accurately.
After all they are playing
for totally different reasons.
However, why tear out there
and hack for the first five
holes before "getting the feel
of it"? Most golfers come in
with a score that could have
been much lower if not for
the first couple of holes.
Most concede that it took
them just a few holes to get
warmed up. Why do we play
this way every day, but when
we're in a competition or
small tournament, we decide
we'd better hit a few balls
and practice some putts? If
you feel it helps you on tour-
nament day, I'm sure it
would be beneficial before
every game.
Limbering up your
muscles is especially inrpor-

\ f r you
tant on cold mornings early
in the season. Not only will it
improve your game, but it
will decrease the chance of
pulling a muscle, or causing
another injury that will fur-
ther spoil your game. A few
stretches, bends and turns,
some deep breathing, and
quick stepping will get the
blood pumping and the
muscles ready for action.
Sometimes swinging the
club with a weight on it helps
too. After that the club feels
light as a feather.
Once you feel sufficiently
warmed up, it's time to tune
into your equipment. Select
a couple of clubs and hit a
few balls with each. Per-
sonally I think choosing your
favourite clubs is best,
because it builds your con-
fidence and puts you in the
proper frame of mind. There
is no sense in warming up
with the No. 1 iron, that you
never could hit anyway.
Save it for the practice ses-
sion. Now on to the practice
green for some long and
short putts " just to get the
teel of it-. Your confidence
is built up, and you are now
physically and mentally
ready to play a round of golf.
That 15 minute warm up can
snake all the difference to
your game
