CASTLEGAR NEWS, October 24, 1979 One of the most impor- tant things to keep in mind when hunting doves or pig- eons is to be sure they're in range. The pattern of your shot spreads out a lot between 30 and 50 yards and a dove or pigeon is a small bird. A pattern which is dense enough to bring down a duck or pheasant at the longer range can be thin enough to let some of the smaller birds slip through, Look at it this way. A dove or pigeon, minus its feathers, is not much bigger than a baseball. Think of that as flying through your pat- tern and you see the wisdom of waiting for a closer shot, when your pattern is more dense. Another important thing is how much you lead them. If your're missing passing shots, try shooting’ well ahead of where you think you should. These small birds are hard to judge. 8 Question: For years I've used borax and sugar to cure salmon or steelhead eggs in * their skeins. Is there a way to cure them for use as single TIME FOR A TUNE-UP? Answer: Yes, there is a simple way to convert skein eggs into single eggs. With the price of a jar of single eggs these days, it's worth trying. Put a couple of table- spoons of sugar (brown or white) and a couple of table- spoons of borax (not boraxo fr one of the household cleaners) in a small pan of water and bring it to a boil. Turn down to simmer and put your skeins of eggs in the pan, Keep turning them with a wooden spoon or a dull fork, which won't puncture them. They will separate from the skein, the skin that holds the eggs together. Work them around gently so the hot liquid gets to them as evenly as possible. Pull the fibrous connecting tissue from the water as it separates. The eggs will begin to harden. You can make them. hard enough to bounce like a golf ball, or just hard enough to stay together on a hook, Check one now and then, pricking it with a pin or squeezing it. You want them to stay ona hook, but you also want some of the juice to milk out to attract fish, When they're done to your preference, drain the water and store them in jars. Leave enough liquid in the jars to keep them moist. They will keep in a refrigerator for months. Or you can freeze them, the same as you freeze skein eggs which have been rolled in borax, The ripest eggs are best for this single egg process. Use paint, delightful for decorating Walk into virtually any soom, and you will tind paint, The reasons, says Sue Burna, national decorating consul- tant for Sherwin-Williams, are threcfold: cost, versatil- ity, and simplicity. “Today's paints ure the options available,’ B: says. “You cun decorate an entire room with paint for tess than $20."" Decorating with paint doesn’t have to mean a white ceiling and four white walls. Paint comes in hundreds of colors, for dozens of uses. Walls and ceilings are obvi- S. Other options cited by Barna include painting and stenciling unfinished furni- ture or even wood floors; creating dramatic effects with trim (leave it white, or paintit in bold accent colors); applying textured paint in swirls; and creating striking . supergraphics, Once you have decided on how and where to use paint, New elected Eagles president makes official visit to area ANGCANAME Leo Lentsch, Engle- wood, Col,, newly elected president of the Fraternal Order of Eagles, willmake an official visit to Trail Aerie No, 2838 on Oct. 27, accord: ing to Gerry Fullerton, sec- retary of the local Aerie.

Laid up with a dose of ‘flu, I was able to escape from my personal miseries into this warm and entertaining account of small-town Canadian news- papers and the people who ran them in the post-war era. As well as the newspaper world, the author has pro- duced a social document of some importance, re-creating small-town Canada (the real Canada, in my opinion) in all its quirkiness, wealth of col- : orful sharacters, and basic ri stability, qualities that seem Hi to be eroding rapidly, {tis very .much a first- person marrative. We meet tHe young Jim Lamb, just out of the Navy, after years on the corvettes, and deter- mined to become a news- posted in the field with reconnalssance equipment to c German manoeuvers in Exercise Stifetto Thrust !l. Lamb recaptures the. ex- citement and urgency of that first autumn of 1945 and the L Showbiz 4y soor Be / CStreet Talk 7 years immediately following. Canada had come of age in World War H, and Cana- dians knew it. Europe was shattered, Britain exhausted. This was the best country in the world to live in, and all, we recently discharged young veterans knew it. There was an almost palpable exhilara- tion in the air. Right across the country, including Quebec, there was a sense of pride, a feeling of unity, that had never existed in this country before, and has sadly deteriorated since. Our fighting men had proved themselves the equal of any, our industry was booming, there was lots of room and opportunity for everyone, and the future was rosy. Well do I remember the feeling. This was before the social revolution, the inflation, the mostrously swollen govern- ment, the huge deficits, and the shadow of separatism: the things that have turned us into a nation of security- minded, materialistic cry- babies. But Ict me not draw a gloomy picture of “‘Press Gang’. It's a i , the editor has been replaced by the wiles of the advevtis- Bill Smiley reviews ‘Press Gang’ + ing manager, in the pursuit of the buck. The result is an almost national blandness on the editorial pages of small- city papers across the coun try. Don’t step on too many toes, James Lamb was one of the good ones, and during the years he was editor in Orillia, Packet and Times editorials were quoted across the country. In the last few chapters of Press Gang,’ Jim Lamb's tone changes from a nostal- gic chuckle to a tone of la- ment and even anger for a Canada that has been lost. He sounds off loud and clear | for the millions of Canadians who must grit their teeth and suffer in silence the ‘‘in- anities and incomprehen- sions of a new breed of jour- nalist’’, or be labelled ‘rednecks’ or ‘“‘reac- tionaries’? by the trendy types who ‘today write the news, He comes out swinging at government that governs ina D3 CASTLEGAR NEWS, October 24, 1979 Give us your views onanew : B.C.

Lonely as only a young reporter in a strange town can be, Lamb gradually became absorbed in the at- mosphere and social life of the places he worked: Woodstock, Moose Jaw, Orillia. And he recreates this feeling of a younger, happier Canada, when life was simpler and society less sophisticated on those tree- shaded streets of our towns and'smalicities: ~ From the author we also get a.good look into the workings and machinations of those small newspapers with their ramshackle old buildings and rickety machinery, where reporters worked for thirty dollars a week, .and loved it.

Others, of course, go on years and years. An outstanding example of the latter is ‘The Danny Thomas Show’ which began its video life in 1953 as ‘Make Room For Daddy’ and ran for 11 years. Danny Thomas’ show is still being shown today. Asked why the series is still hot in so many countries, Danny shrugs and smiles. “We were a family on the screen doing a family show.” he explains. ‘‘As-long as there are families coming along who want to see clean television, our series will always be popular.” ...

However, a loss of that quality can oc- cur with improper or ex- tremely prolonged storage. Unpack frozen foods first out of your grocery bag and store thern in your freezer at 0 F. or lower. No longer than 9 to 12 monthsis the re- commended storage time limitation.
