His son, Gordon Brinkworth, has been appointed greenskeeper there this summer. Gordon spent the last two years at Elk Island course, Alberta, and previous to that had many years tutelage un- der his father at Jasper. He re- ports _ considerable work - to done at Minaki, but states the course will be in good shape for. the opening near the end of June. Mr. Brinkworth points out that; the course at Jasper wintered in first class shape-despitq the lack of snow during the. phi hoy "The country around Jasper was bare of snow most of the winter. How- ever, our elk ferice kept the ani- mals off the course and the grass was given every chance to come through. It has never been in such uniformly good condition at this time of year in its history," concluded the golf expert, Britain Cutting 3 Butter Ration Because of the cessation of Danish supplies, Britons were told last week by Lord Woolton, food minister, to prepare for the re. duction at an early date of the butter ration from eight to four ounces each week.
