SUPPLEMENT TO McHENRY * H l l i t i f c i , Y 4 f l 8 ? r r pVuTAUB,ĵ ? him the proud owner of a Rose recommends family With Family Firewood Trips Healthful outdoor activ­ ity with the family is the best way to unwind after work. This particularly ap­ plies in the case of those engaged in so-called seden­ tary occupations such as accounting, statistical anal­ ysis, most business manage­ ment jobs and playing third base in the major leagues. Third baseman Pete Rose of the Cincinnati Reds explains: "People think of ball players as being constantly active, but that's because most people see us only on the field. But think of all those plane rides and all the time we spend in hotel rooms. For every hour I'm on the field, I spend three or four just sitting around. "And 111 tell you, during August and September of a tough pennant race, we live through just as much ten­ sion as any businessman." Pete's prescription for after-work relief is to take his family into the Ohio woods near his suburban Cincinnati home. When he takes a lightweight chain saw along, the excursions serve a dual purpose of also providing fuel for the fam­ ily fireplace. "After a long season of swinging that wood, it does me good just to be able to cut some of it up," says Rose, whose family made McCulloch Super Pro 40 chain saw. Rose is used to having the best in life as he con­ tinues to become one of baseball's most effective and popular performers. His chain saw shares ga- 1 rage space with the Rolls Royce he bought for his wife, Karolyn. Of course, with a "day off" that extends from Oc­ tober to March, Rose has more time than most peo­ ple to spend with his fam­ ily, which includes his daughter, Fawn, 11, and Pete II, 6. "There's never enough time, thou«gh," he says. "And most guys don't have to spend their summer weekends at work or traveling." woodcutting as an ideal outing -- particularly in the fall and winter when dead wood is easily accessible. But he is quick to point out that woodcutting -- like baseball -- has its rules. "The first thing you have to know is that you should never, ever, cut a living tree unless it's on your own property. Anyway, dead wood that has been on the ground for some time makes the best firewood. And always be careful about whose ballpark you're in," Rose said. "If it's a national forest, check with the ranger for a fire­ wood permit. Most state and local forests will give you permission, too.

'flSHllG MACHINE" SILVKS PUZZLE IF GIFT-GIVING An angler in the family often casts a bewildering question when gift-buying lime rolls around. The ar­ dent fisherman is already well-stocked with miscel­ laneous rods, reels, lures, hooks, lines and sinkers. The beginner, however, poses no less of a problem. The selection of a rod and reel for the novice is as difficult as choosing tackle for the -well-equipped enthusiast. An imaginative new an­ gling device from St. Croix, one of the nation's oldest and most respected manu­ facturers of quality fishing equipment, promises to solve both gift-giving di­ lemmas this Christmas. The "Fishing Machine", a tough, compact rod-and-reel roll- ^ ed into one, makes an ideal I gift for veteran fishermen and would-be Izaak Wal- tons alike. The exciting new pro­ duct features a high-per­ formance 5'6" fiberglas rod which retracts into the reel and handle when not in use. The reel is outfitted with St. Croix's patented "Rangefinder" which sets the desired depth for cast­ ing at the flip of a switch. Rod and reel both offer quality in a one-piece as­ sembly, never before mar­ keted in the United States. Long-time fishermen are expected to welcome the angling device and keep one in the car, office or briefcase so they may take advantage of unexpected fishing opportunities. As a gift for beginning anglers, the new rod-with-reel of­ fers convenience and easy operation without sacrific­ ing quality. It encourages the beginner to try his luck with a rod that's tough enough to make sure the big ones don't get away. A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance. -- Proverbs 12:13 338-35^5 Decorative Idea: Clear plastic dr'uking straws ai \ arn left over from a needlepoint project can be combined to make pretty Christmas tree dec­ orations.
