On the greens
Season opens with . ance
By Carolanne Doig
The third annual Spring
Golf Ball on Saturday night
was a great success. Things
were a little slow in getting
started, but once going, the
dance floor was packed. The
ladies made sure all had
enough delicious food to feed
an army.The coloured televi-
sion set which will be raffled
off to some lucky member at
the end of the season, was on
display. Everyone seemed to
have a good time at the first
social event of the season.
The ladies of the club
began their golf season on
Monday with their first
ladies night. The weather
man co-operated giving
everyone a good start and
good attendance. The next
ladiesineit s on: the lith and•
all ladies are invited out.
After golfing there will be a
pot luck supper and
refreshments.
Tonight is the first men's
night and all hope to see the
old and new members out for
the action. There will be a
blind draw to determine the
winners. Remember, that
anyone participating in ten,
ormore men's nights can en-
joy the bash at the end of the
season.
The club will soon have the
sheets up for the men's and
junior's match play which
will get underway the first
week of June.
On Saturday morning,, the
Forest. City. golfers from
London will be here for their
annual visit to the course.
They'll tee off early, so
should be finished around
noon. Members should keep
this in mind if planning to
golf on Saturday.
Well, now that the women
and men have their golf
evenings underway, it may
be a good idea to remind
them of some of the terms
used in the golf game. Jim
Bishop, an ,golf
who says
that "golf has played me for
30 years", gives us the
following definitions:
gimme - an uneasy agree-
ment between players who
can't putt;
ball - a white sphere
guaranteed to remain round
for 2 holes of play;
hole - a small, round excava-
tion placed in an inaccessi-
ble part of the green;
trap - vast areas of
strategically placed sand.
Also defined as what the
golfer opens when he finds
his ball in a footprint. It re-
quires 2 strokes to get out of
a trap, one of which is
cerebral. -
Water hazard - lakes and
ponds where enterprising
young golfers retrieve golf
balls and sell them back to
their owners at half price;
shank - unconscious trick
shot, 90 degrees off course. A
golfer who shanks has as
many friends as a leper;
mulligan - a second shot
employed by hackers to pro-
ve that the first one was no
mistake.
Rollerskating
out at Blyth
BLYTH - Despite the
national trend, Blyth is not
taking part and rollerskateis
may be forced to go
elsewhere for their favorite
pastime.
The Blyth and District
Community Centre Board
has been looking for
someone to operate the rink,
but so far no one has ex-
pressed an interest.

1Lis column, will be devoted to correcting a few past
errors in thie last few coliiimns, and expanding a bit on
some of the other information I've presented.
First of all, apparently my recommendation to wear
• light coloured clothing to avoid mosquitoes and black-
flies is wrong. In actual fact, it turns out that people
who wear_ camouflage. clothing are actually the least
affected.Apparently;. sight is one of the major systems
used by.flies to detect their victims, so the more in-
cmispicuous you are, the better your chance Of
avoiding the little blighters. The smart outdoorsman,
erferre :always wears •clothing that blends in with'the
ckgrolindlyhereverr, they are. If you are a. bunter,
camiiuflageldways `reonies` in handy for waterfowlfng
and for the ladies apparently good old army surplus
camouflage is making a big splash in fashion circles.
Whatever the results, it should be an interesting theory
to test this coming summer.
Since I wrote the article on the importance of fishing
line, I've been payingeven more attention to reports on
the properties and performance of different lines under
different conditions myself. Here are some of the
gems I've picked up. You may already be aware of
some of them, but I hope I give you a new tip or two.
First off, your reel should always be filled to within
one eighthinch of the edge in order to obtain maximum
casting efficiency. This is usually impossible to do with
a single spool of 100 yards so it's often necessary to
apply a backing to your spool before attaching the
monofilament. Some of the old black pylon fishing line
serves this purpose well. Some 4rial and 'error will be
necessary to get the proper proportions, but it will pay
off in the end.
When"applying new monofilament to your reel, soak
it in water overnight first. It's hard to believe, but
mono does absorb water, and when it does, it becomes
softer and limper. The set it has taken on the spool also
relaxes and it adjusts itself do your reel spool much
better. Trailing your line behind the boat without a lure
on while you are travelling out to your favorite fishing
spot also helps to soak your line, making it behave
better for you when you get there.
Another trick is to let the new line feed off the end of
the spool when you're putting it on your reel. According
to the pros, this helps to eliminate line twist and gets
away .from some of that aggravating coiling and
kinking that seems to plague us all. It may, or may not,
help, but anything is worth a try.
One last point on fishing line. The smaller the
diameter the line, the better it casts. The lower the
breaking strength (pound test), the thinner the line.
This might be a good time to take a long look at the
weight of line you use. Do you really need 20 lb. test
when the biggest fish You might catch is only five or six
lbs. Most breakoffs occur as a result of poor or im-
properly tied knots or old damaged line, not from too
heavy a fish. Try using a little lighter line, and perfect
some of your other techniques for landing fish. Playing
your catch is probably the most important aspect of
boating your fish and the one that is most often. done
improperly.
These may seem like small details, but it's the little
things that add up to big catches. As the old saying
goes, "I'll try anything once", and you'll never know
unless you try.
League action
The third season of house
league motocross opens this
week at Hully Gully.
Being the only true
amateur motocross league in
Ontario, the Hully Gully
house league offers safe,
organized motocross
competition for all levels of
rider age, ability and type of
bike without a large finan-
cial outlay.
A free organized practice
runs on Thursday, May 7 at 7
pm and the actual com-
petition season opens on
Saturday.
If any parent or child, boy
or girl, is interested in dirt
bike riding they shouldn't
miss this opportunity.
skate rentals, care of the
skates as well as main-
taining order at the rink.
Last year, skating was
held on Wednesday and
Sunday nights, but this may
end since no one has an-
swered the Help Wanted ad
for the job.
In past summers, the work
has been shared among four
to six people and job has
been paid on a contract or
percentage basis.
Despite all the noise generated by a dozen enthusiastic
boys, the fish still hit the hooks last Sunday as the Clinton
Beavers went on their first fishing trip at a creek on the
Maitland Concession. Here some of the boys head for the
creek. (James Fitzgerald photo)

Ramblings from the. races

record with Dave Wall driv-

County council
okays bay project
Huron County Council has
approved in principle the
relocation -of the wheelhouse
of the Shelter Bay lake,
freighter, to an on -shore site
at the Goderich harbor.
The freighter, owned by
the Goderich Elevator and
Transit Company, is to be
donated to the county and the
Town of Goderich for use as
a Marine Museum.
It is estimated , that the
removal and transport of the
wheelhouse wlfl .cost bet-
ween $25,000 and $30,000.
This cost is to be shared by
the county and the town.
Elsa Haydon, chairman of
the Goderich Waterfront
Committee, spoke to council
at the January 29 meeting,
asking that the county ap-
prove the project in prin-
ciple.
Deputy -reeve Bob Allen
said that the boat will be.
unloaded toward the end of
February and moved to an
area of the dock where
removal can be made. He
said the freighter cannot
remain in the docking area
indefinitely or it will block
traffic in the harbor.
Allen concluded that the
town wanted the county to
approve the project in
principle to assure Goderich
town council that the county
will share in the cost of the
project.
County 'council passed • a
motion approving the ad-
dition of $15,000 to the
county's property committee
budget which will permit the
project to continue.
It is proposed that the
grounds will be maintained
by the town and the county
will be responsible for
preparing and manning the
exhibit, which would be, open
for the summer months,
probably from 9 a.m. .until 9
p.m.
Plans are for the
wheelhouse and the control
.room of the ship to be
relocated on shore. It is
intended that every
available instrument and
mechanical navigational aid
be part of the display to
generate further interest.
A set of cabins below the
wheelhouse known as the
captain's office and quar-
ters, as well as the passenger
quarters, will also be in-
cluded so that many items
presently scattered around
the Huron County Pioneer
Museum can be located in
the Marine Museum to
create an interesting and
historically informative
display. This will also
present the opportunity for
expanding the collection.

excellent condition, and the
lap times for the day were
overwhelming.
