The Hamilton Manuscripts record that a game known as "Goff" was played in Newtownards about the year 1600; King Charles I, it is said, was playing golf at Leith when he first re- ceived news of the Irish Rebellion of 1641. In Ireland interest in the game did not however develop to any great extent until the late eighteen hundreds, although re- cords show that the game was played on the plains of Kiidare at the beginning of the nineteenth century.

For a year or more both districts had been led to ex- pect that very soon they would be admit- ted as States. So they would have been but for considerations which have nothing to do with the cligibility of their claims. President Eisenhower's idea was to admit Hawaii first; this pleased Republican Con- gressmen becausc Hawaii might reasonably be expected to send Republican representa- tives to Congress. But it did not please the Democrats, who argucd that Alaska, which traditionally is inclined to that polit- ical Party, should be admitted at the same it time; this packagc deal would not upsct the political status quo, at least in the foreseeable future. To make matters more irritating still, from the viewpoint of Iiawaiians and Alaskans, the Southern Democratic bloc was not anxious to admit either at this time for fear that the new Congressmen might bolster civil rights strength in Washington. ducive to sound political thinking in either Hawaii or Alaska; but, political partisan- ship being what it is, it seems that State- hood for either district will have to await the time when one Party or the other can claim and exercise absolute control of Con- gress. Then both districts can shape their political patterns accordingly, both becom- inz Republican or Democrat as the situa- -' tion may demand. Once they are in, each can choose again its own political course. A change of Attitude About a year ago the people of East Germany were faced with a severe food shortage, amounting in some sections to famine. When news of their plight reach- ed the United Statcs, President Eisenhower offered relicf supplies; but the offer was rejected. Foreign Minister Molotov of Rus- sia called the President's action an "in- sult". That, however, did not prevent mil- lions of the hungry citizens of East Ger- many from getting American relief; they streamed across the border into the West- ern zone and picked up their packages of food, in defiance of police and immigration officials. It was reported at the time that many of them went to prison for their boldness in the face of hunger. This summer, following the most serious flood conditions in many centuries, famine struck anew at East Germany and other areas in the Soviet bloc, and again United States supplies were offered the suffering victims; this time the offer was accepted. This changc of attitude on the part of Communist officials may indicate a more sensible and more humanitarian approach to problems of the moment; that would give somc cause for hope that relations between Russia and the West are improv- ing a bit. On the other hand, of course, the new attitude may mean nothing more 1 than that Communist lcarlcrs were anxious to avoid a repetition of last year's hostilc demonstrations with their embarrassing diplomatic effects. In any event, the im- portant thing is that hungry and homeless people have hccn given a i'Tl0aEV'.llift of re- It is all very unfortunate and not con? Royal Belfast, established in 1881, and the Royal Dublin or Dollymount Golf Club, founded also in 1885. Since the establish- ,'ment of these clubs hardly a year has pas- sed without the foundation of a golf course in some part of Ireland until at present there are more than two hundred in the country. In Dublin City alone there are seven clubs: in Dublin County, twenty. Most famous of all is perhaps Portmarnock, hard on the shores of Dublin Bay, and ,which has been with some truth described as the St. Andrews of Ireland. L Advice on Chips . Maritime potato chip manufacturers are making chips or "crisps" of excellent qual- ity, reports the Experimental Station at ,Kentviile, N. S., and those who have en- ,joyed the various brands of chips produced in Prince Edward Island will thoroughly agree. The trick, it seems, is to use the right kind of potato. Chips must be crisp, light, golden brown and not too greasy. The greatest factor in achieving this result is starting with a po- , tato in which starch, sugar and water are .1" D1'0pel' proportion. The plants convert sunlight and plant foods into simple sugars, which are then stored in the tubers in the form of starch. Storage of starch is great- est in the late growth period. A potato high in starch is usually low , in water content and gives a chip which is crisp and not greasy. A potato which is Still Producing sugars when harvested will give a chip of deep mahogany brown colour. It follows that well-matured tubers are re- ,quired for the chip industry. Digging the crop before the vines die down is a dis- advantage from the chip manufacturers , point of view. i Si0l'aRe below 55 degrees Fahrenheit lnlso results in the formation of sugar which, however, can be eliminated by the potatoes being "cured" in a warm room ,after their period of storage at compara. ,tively low temperatures. , The varieties which lend themselves to suitable storage for chip making are Irish Cobbler, Katahdin, Kennebec, Sebago and for late season manufacture, Netted Gem EDITORIAL NOTES 1 I , these days, but nobody has quite Payoff Old Charlottetown I and P. 3.1.
