A GLANCE AT- GOLF 5
You'll never guess the awful

truth — after all these’ years,

I've discovered golf. While on the

Island — Vancouver of..course,

golf course within walking ‘dis-
tance of where I was occupied in
other endeavors and, since ‘the
price of club rental and: “green
fee” was within range of ‘ my.
pocket book, I decided to show
them how simple the whole thing
is, really,

It was a simple step therefore;
to where I found myself in the
tempory: possession of one bag of
golf clubs (assorted) , a number
of tees (varicolored little: “jiggers”
for balancing the golf ball on)
and several golf balls, (second

hand). *

It was another’ equally simple
step to where I found myself
teamed with a short, plump gen-
tleman called “Larry” on the
first tee and placing a golf ball
on one of the “jiggers” aforement-
joned.

Perhaps I should explain at this
point that I had never before
on a golfcourse, but from watch-
ing the pros do their stuff_on the
news reels and. sport shorts, I
knew instinctively that I was a
natural born expert myself.

we’ feel your remark is ‘based
upon inaccurate information, and.
you are therefore quite prema-—

You refer to the present ‘road

Corporal in charge of Castlegar Detachment RCMP has commented
this week on what he called: “flagrant’ violations” of tnaffic safe-
ty regulations’ by bicycle riders in this area. Obviously our young
cyclists do not know their zesponsibilities as cyclists, or.at least are
not fulfilling them. The tragedy is that it’s their own lives and
safety they are. risking.

Much of the responsibility in this regard rests with the parents |.
of the young offenders. It is up to the parents to see that their |'"
child's bicycle is equipped with lights for night-time riding. It is
up to the parents to ensure their. child: are ting their bicycl
in a safe manner. |

It isn't a matter of curtailing the rights of. bieyéle Tiders in any
way — it's rather. a mnatien, of ensuring their slgot ¢ to life and ‘safety

The bicycle built for two, immortalized ina “song of a few de-
cades ago, is a thing of the Hast. Nearly kll bicycles today are

. built for the driver only — no passengers allowed.

Bicycle riders, like automobile drivers, must use the right” hand
side of the road, not the white centre line or the left side:. 7

Sidewalks are for pedestrians only, This does not include bicy-

cles. Z ‘ DB . es
Bicycles must have lights when used at night. This not only
shows the rider where he is going but rlso shows an oncoming mo-
torist that another vehicle is coming.

With the observance of these elementary rules, bicycle riders
will protect their rights to the use of the highway or street and
their safety upon its

At least that was the theory of
the thing and it always happened
when the pro followed the same
routine. However, the fairway —
golf jargonese for the long narrow
alley of grass covered tank-test-
ing grounds flanked by streams,
swamps, ‘broom thickets, black-
berry thorns and small rapacious
boys — was entirely innocent’ of
harboring my. ball.

In fact I discovered to my hor-
ror that to ensure himself of 2
comparably good score, my sup=

my club would have driven, it on
