The Seaforth News, 1961-11-30, Page 3Gambling and Golf Like Siamese Twins At the Weochnont Country Club near Washington, D.C„ two real-estate men partners in a luxury apartment house, played an eighteen -hole golf match, winner getting the apartment house. In Atlanta, one weekend golfer, clown $3,000 going into the eighteenth hole, offered a °press" on the last hole: A new Automobile or nothing, Gambling on the golf course, of course, is nothing new. But today, With millions of sporty Americans playing the game xeriously, what is new is the va- riety of gambling methods, The old stand-bys — the $1. Nassats ($1 each nine, $1 over-all), the straight $1 -a -hole — have been replaced by betting systems as tricky and complicated as a downhill lie on a split-level green, In the U.S. last month, these were some of the newest and most popular golfing bam- Bridge; As played in West- chester County, N.Y., each team in a foursome bids on its score for alternate holes. A team wins one point for making its bid and one point for' every stroke un- der it. At $1 a point, with doub- ling and redoubling, it can mount up. Bingle Bangle Bongo: As played at Tam O'Shanter in Chi- cago, Bingle is the first player on the green, Bangle the player closest to te hole, and Bongo the player who sinks the longest putt. The Bingle, the Bangle, and the Bongo collect from 50 cents to $50 apiece from each member of the foursome. The lure: Luck counts more than kill. Hammer: As played at Brook Hollow in Dallas, two men play for $25 a hole. Whenever player A hits a bad shot, player B can say "hammer," This means that the hole is played out for $25 extra. Player A can refuse the hammer, but if he does, he au- tomatically loses the hole (and the original $25 bet). Pari-mutuels: As played at Orchard Lake near Detroit, this is the race -track principle, with each foursome in a tournament constituting a "horse." Non - players can bet on any horse they wish, and the odds are de- termined by the amount bet on each horse. Wheel: As played at East Po- tomac in Washington, D,C„ twen- ty players, competing in five separate foursomes, bet a "wheel," meaning that each player has nineteen separate bets against nineteen opponents. In a $100 wheel, one man, con- ceivably, could lose $1,900. How Can I? By Roberta Lee Q. What can I do when a fabric is too delicate for the use of ordi- nary starch? A. Melt a little granulated sugar in boiling water, and add this to your rinsing water. Q. How can I make candies from the rinds of lemons, or- anges, and grapefruit? A. Boll these pieces two or three times until the water is clear, then boil again with sugar added to taste, and until the rinds are soft and sweet. Both children and adults usually relish this kind of candy. If someone could tell us how to have that Friday night feeling on Wfonday morning he'd be famous.

Ambassador Valerian A. Zarin sits behind his sign of office in New York after taking over as president of the Security Council for the month of November. Hitching Racks Not Parking Meters This is the time of frantic har- vest for housewives, as heavy frost warnings are given out. Emmeline and Hilda make scur- rying trips to the garden all afternoon to gather the tender things, the peppers, the tomatoes, and the last of the grapes. They leave the hardy cabbage, the banked celery and the parsnips, which are always better for hav- ing a little frost on their tops. Kitchens across the valley are redolent with the aroma of sim- mering vegetables as the women- folk prepare the batches of end - of -garden sauce that thrifty Amish or Pennsylvania Dutch housewives always make at this time of year. Combining some of practically everything in the garden and featuring ripe tomatoes, red and green peppers, onion and chop- ped celery, it is simmered un- salted, put through a food mill and canned for use in soups, over swiss steak or smothered pot roast. Trina likes to thicken an occasional jar, add tiny meat balls and bake it in the oven. It is also excellent as a sauce for fish. Purple and white grapes go into jam, jelly, juice for the home and for Holy Communion, and there are always a few jars of plain seeded grapes and skins for pies. Blankets are hung to air, stoves are being brought in and hooked up with shiny new length of blue -black pipe, and houses are being banked with evergreens until they resemble the ones on Christmas cards, Everybody in our valley is getting ready for winter. It is good to see the children go by twice a day on their way to and from school. Boys in high laced shoes, trousers cropped midway to the knees, plain col- larless jackets and wide -brimmed felt or straw hats trudge along in groups. The girls walk to- gether in their long black cotton stockings, high top shoes, their dresses well below the knees and covered with white pinafores. Most of them wear their hair parted its the middle and braided. Theoldelrgirls pin their braids up in btus. These are not laggards. They go joyfully in the mornings and seem just as happy to be going home in the afternoon. One misses the gaily colored lunch pails, now that hot lunches are being served in our school, It used to be that an Amish school- boy was practically inseparable from two objects he owned, his hat and dinner pail. They don their hats for play at recess, no matter what the weather or how furious the pace of the game. And on the way home from school when they participated in games of tag or ran foot races, their pails were clutched in their hands. Nowadays they only have their hats. Amish men still wear the low - crowned broadbrims, but the young bachelors favor the newer round -topped hats, which they wear porkpie style. A casual visitor to our region might look upon the outward evidence as proof that people here are serenely living 12th century lives in a 20th century world, and there is much to sup- port this view. Our village streets' are lined with hitching racks in- stead of parking meters. The gen- eral store sells shawls, heavy black stockings bonnets and high top shoes, and out in front of, it there is a hand -operated gaso- line pump, one of the last of its kind in the state. The cabinet shop depends on a diesel engine for power and is illuminated by gasoline mantel lamps, We have a buggy shop, a thriving harness MEGAPHONITIS — Ex -cheer- leader Peggy Kyser (University of Arkansas) finds her hands full with a five-foot "mega- phone" for the Liberty Me- morial monument shaft, be- hind her, in Kansas City. The stentor is one of four such for a 305 -bell carillon in the monument; to international un- derstanding. shop, and a "chicken factory" where the chickens are kept pro - clueing by oil lanterns instead of electricity. Some of our roads are literally horse and buggy. trails where horses shy when an occasional car goes by. But to us there are indica- tions that 19th century ways are gradually being replaced by more modern ones. People here will never "go gay" (worldly). How- ever, education standards are be- coming more relaxed, young people now have Youth Night once a week in addition to the traditional Sunday night sing- ings, and as many as wish to do so in our community attend the county fair, something unheard of a few years ago, An Amish newspaper is published in the county, and most families take a daily newspaper and subscribe to at least one farm fagazine. Yet with all these, changes the tempo of life here makes for serenity of living, and the young people still love their homes. "Wouldn't you like to try city living for a change?" Benny, our • teen-age neighbor, was asked by a boy from town. "Oh, no, I couldn't ever give up farming," Benny told him, "And besides I like to be out where I can get the fresh air." Tomorrow is the Sabbath, a "church Sunday" for the Amish, and today the backless benches for the congregation were hauled to Benny's home by a mule team hitched to a big wagon which still had its hayrack on the chas- sis, rt is common procedure. Every other Sunday is reserved for church, the ones in between for visiting relatives and friends. We often wonder where and why this particular rule origin- ated. There are no written church rules, everything Is by tradition. • And any change in congregation- al rules can become rigid church canon in the few years it takes to forget how. things used to be, writes Mabel Slack Shelton in the Christian Science Monitor, For some obscure reason ad- missions to the church occur at two-year intervals only, and to- morrow it one of the special Sundays on which new members 'will be taken in, Hilda and sev- eral of her girl friends will be admitted, as will Benny, But something is troubling him. Glad, he is to be joining church, he confisles, as we meet and talk at 'the long line of mailboxes near our homes, but when he does it will have to come out that his name is actually Benuel and not Benlarain. This is something he has kept secret from his chums, who Will surely tease him when they find out, His mother's father had the name before bun, and nobody else that he has ever heard about. The Amish usually name their children by writing down Bible names and drawing. one "by lot." • We hasten to assure him that it is a fine name and one to be proud of, a combination of Ben- jamin and Samuel, most likely, and chosen to please two grand- fathers at some time, no doubt, He thinks over the suggestion, then gives a relaxed grin. Benuel isn't such a bad name after all, the grin says, and who cares about a little teasing, anyway. Kipling once wrote of this re- gion, "It is peaceful as Heaven might he if they farmed there." And so it is. He's Big Daddy Of All Race Horses Adios is a 21 -year-old stallion with a knack for begetting strong, speedy pacing horses. Ile has sired more 'winners (329) with greater earnings ($10 mil- lion) than any other horse, stand- ard -bred (harness racing) or thoroughbred (flat racing), in history. Today the country's best pacer (Adios Butler), best three-year- old pacer (Henry T. Adios), and best two-year-old pacer (Lehigh Hanover) are ,all offspring of Adios. At Roosevelt Raceway (N.Y.) last month, the first three choices in the Roosevelt Futurity, the country's richest harness race for two -year-olds, were sons of Adios. The success of his' family, while it does little to enrich Adi- os personally, has made him the most expensive gigolo in harness racing. To breed a mare to Adios, the mare's owners must pay $12,- 500 to the three-man Adios syn- dicate (Del Miller, Lawrence Sheppard, and Max Hempt). Miller, who keeps Adios on his Meadow Lands Farm near Wash- ington, Pa., bought Adios for $21,000 in 1948, sold him for $500,000 in 1955, and then repur- chased a one-third interest in 1956, Adios's offspring now coin - mend fancier prices than their sire brought in 1948, Three Years ago, one of Adios's sons, , Dancer Hanover, was sold for $105,000. For three years, Adios yearlings have sold for an aver- age of $25,000 apiece. At the annual yearling sales in Harrisburg, Pa., the crop includ- ed three choice sons of Adios: Lincoln Hanover. Probable price for this full brother of Le- high Hanover: $75,000-$100,000. Majestic Hanover. $50,000- $60,000. Truman Hanover, $50,000- $60,000. While his sons earn the money this month, Adios, a graybeard by racing standards, will relax in his comfortable 2 -acre paddock at Meadow Lands, eating oats and munching hay. Would his owners consider selling Adios? "Not a chance," said Miller, look- ing at his favorite horse, "Not for $1 million.."
