"If they had acted sooner and put these improvements per cent of the medical insurance costs, not 100 per cent as commissioners say they were originally told.

Start your clubs, golf courses open Saturday By ERCEL EATON', Journal-News Writer This morning's snow, coming just a few days before the official beginning of spring, evokes memories of times when snow meant sleds when the two went together I remember when the kids used to'gather on Ihe street where the Fairfield YMCA sits and sled-ride down the hill for an entire Saturday morning. And sleds could be seen on sidewalks and streets every time it snowed. That's not the case these days. Used to be, almost every kid hada sled.

If he didn't his friend did and he could share. Area shops don'tstocksleds much anymore. "There just doesn't seem to be (lie demand for them." Sled sales, they report have, been sliding for some time now. i "We still make sleds as'good as we ever did in the old days even better," said ari official with one of the large sled companies. "Mother Nature just isn't making snow as much as she used to." Around here lately she has been making snow.

And thereare still some sleds out. There are round, saucer- like coasting vehicles, loo. Slipping temperatures and winter snows are hardly an ideal reception. Nevertheless, Hamilton's two golf courses will mark their off icial opening Saturday. Unofficially, Potters Park and Twin Run golf courses have been and are now open daily weather permitting.

And until today's return to winter, the weather was very permitting. "The weather has been beautiful the last few weeks and, while the golf courses aren't officially open until March 20, many golfers have already been out to Twin Run or Potters for their first round of golf for the season," said Art Bowling, city parks and recreation director. Potters offers a par 68 layout, a golf shop, a remodeled locker room and a concession area. The course is located on New London Road. Twin Run, located at 2505 Eaton Road, has a par 72 course, a golf and an authenlically designed 19lh century clubhouse which can be used for seminars, meetings and receptions.

William Phelps', parks and recreation superintendent, will manage the two courses. The green- skeeper at Potters will be Henry Reiter. At Twin Hun the greens will be kept by Herman Lee. Ben Bastin, professional at the courses, and his assistant, Gary Reist, will operate Ihe golf shops. The playing rates at both layouts will be the same as laslseason.

At Twin Run the fees will be S3 during the week and $3.75 on weekends. The greens fees at Potters will be $2.75 and $3.50, spectively. Season permits, good from March 20 through Oct. 31, are now available at both courses. Passes at Twin Hun arc $125 for adults and $60 for juniors, while at Potters the rates are SI10 and $50.

Bowling said there are 16 city tournaments and special events scheduled throughout the season at both courses. "A banner golfing season is anticipated, with many leagues organized and tournaments. now in the planning stage," he added. Additional information concerning tournaments, season permits, daily fees, golf outings and so on can be obtained by calling Phelps (895-7401), Potters Park (893-3285) or Twin Run (893-1601). Some of.

And the snow doesn't stick around as long as it did in less industrialized times. Sledding, both for sport and as transportation probably came lo America with the first Dutch to settle, in New York, the National Geographic Society says. The first children's sleds were simple, homemade affairs with wooden runners. Later, hand-built sleds were taken to blacksmith shops to be shod with iron runners that greatly increased their downhill speed.

I remember when we got a lot of speed out of our homemade sled with wooden had a lot of hill lo ride on and we designed a'summertime vehicle with wheels to lake those wild rides down the hill. Good Ihing we weren't in Albany, N.Y., in the early days. Therei'constables were empowered to seize and smash the sleds of coasting youngsters who knocked down pedestrians. Gravity and push, they say, give the sleds their speed. They forgot the "pull" you have to get them back UP the hill, loo.

Henry F. Morton founded America's first firm devoted solely to producing sleds. He made his first one in the kitchen of his home, and his wife decorated it with hand-painted designs. The first really maneuvefable sled was developed in Philadelphia in 1885 by Sam Leeds Allen, whose daughter had come home in tears after an accident with her non-steerable sled. Allen atlached a pivoting brace from the sled to the exiended front of the steel runners and'added a crossbar for a steering handle.

His modification was instantly in demand, and in 1889 he formed a cbmpany to market his "Flexible Flyer." Oh, a half a century later where I was we didn't have "Flexible or any other "boughten" sled, we roared down the hillsides on our own "Homemade Hannah" sled. "We don't have Ihe kind of snows we used to have," a teenager said last week. Even the teens remember when there was more snow and everyone remembers where there were more sleds.
