14 comes too late to cause standing ovations at the annual meetings of Robert Burns societies, because Robbie Burns day was more than a week ago. But a traveller from ScotJand has brought me news of the haggis that should send shivâ€" ers of delight through Caledonian associations from sea to sea. It mignt even mean that we‘ Scots are about to improve our reâ€" lations sensationally with the many North Americans of other racial backgrounds who never seem to be able to get past even the IDEA of haggis. Until now, they will eat such horrors as banana cream pie and the national Canadian dish, greasy barley soup (which is what the oil pipeline from Alberta carries on weekends). But they balk at chopping up the inner organs of a sheep; mixing them with oatâ€" meal, a leek or two and other seasoning; and boiling the whole gorgeous mess in a sheep‘s stomach. Their objections simply don‘t make sense. How could anyone not like hagâ€" gis? I am fond of it myself that I have eaten not only the homeâ€" cooked, but the restaurantâ€"cooked varieties. Every time I am in Glasgow I hunt up a railway staâ€" tion buffet that serves haggis and mashed potatoes. This is the stamp of a true haggisâ€"lover. My friends tell me that anybody who will eat railway buffet haggis will eat anything. All I will admit is that it does not rank with the great haggis of the world, but it is cheap and it is haggis; that is enough. Anyway, this traveler from Scotland assures me that haggis may be about to make it as a gourâ€" met food, sweeping away these barriers of ignorance and prejuâ€" dice. He says that during the Edinâ€" burgh Festival last summer two young butchers made yards in that direction. What started them thinking was that during the earâ€" ly part of the Festival, the boomâ€" ing tourist trade somehow was passing haggis by. Tweeds, whiskies, pipe tobacâ€" cos, oak cakes, kilts, sporrans, ceremonial sashes, clan insignia and other Scottish items were being carried off by the carload. But the haggis trade was lanâ€" guishing. ‘"‘What we lack is a gimmick," said one butcher. ‘‘Och, aye,‘~said the other. Whereupon they put a mound of beautiful plump haggises in their window with a small sign which stated: Freshâ€"shot hag&. Soon visitors began stopping in. They would put down their camâ€" eras and ask through their interâ€" preters: Were haggises birds or animals? Was this the haggis seaâ€" son? ~Were they fierce or tame? Did you boil them or roast them? Should they be skinned before cooking, or after? The butchers replied with only the truth: The haggis is a feathâ€" eriess bird found on the moors of Argylishire. The haggis is a menâ€" ace to farmers because it eats oats, so recent legislation allowed farmers to shoot haggis out of season, and also to purchase hagâ€" what like hail insurance or (in Sasâ€" katchewan) duck insurance. This year, the prevalence of haggis proportions. But fortunately, they were easily shot â€" mainly because they flew backwards to protect their eyes from the harsh winds of the moor. Therefore, they never saw hunters until it was too late. In cooking, they were best By Don Dreisinger Ron Braun continues to provide firstâ€"rate goalâ€"tending for the midgets, yielding only one goal in two games on the weekend. Waterloo played Kitchener in Kitchener Auditorium Jan. 28 night and the game ended in a scoreless tie. . It was a wellâ€"played game with some spectacular goaltending by both Marcel Potvin in the Kitchâ€" ener nets and Braun for Waterloo. Both players came up with key saves, especially in the third perâ€" iod when both clubs were pressing for the winning goal. Dean Woelfle received the bestâ€" manâ€"forâ€"Waterioo award, for the second time, following the game. He was presented with a hockey stick. Dean has been coming on strong in the last few games to lead the Waterloo attack and has constantly been keeping his teamâ€" mates fired up to win. Coach John Ford said he is quite satisfied with the overâ€"all team spirit and play. He looks forward to the club‘s eagemess and drive to win continuing into the playoffs, which begin Feb. 3 in Stratford. On Jan. 29, Waterloo lost 1â€"0 in the Georgetown _ tournament against Burlington. It was a hardâ€" fought game with the clubs evenly matched. The lone goal came with about 10 minutes left in the game. Braun was once again the star of the game. Alithough Burâ€" lington outshot Waterloo considâ€" erably Ron continually robbed the attackers, who had good shots and At 40 mph, you are traveling 60 feet per second. It will take you about nine car lengths to stop at that speed, if the road was dry and you had average reacâ€" tion time. Multiply your _speedometer speed by 1% and you will find out approximately how many feet you are traveling a second. Braun stars in nets Simple formula steamied for about two hours and then browned in the oven. They then could be sliced like break beâ€" cause the bones disintegrated during the cooking process. Hundreds were sold. Since then, enquiries have been pouring in to Scottish agricultural authorities. One asked if the haggis would breed in captivity ; if so, how did one go about establishing a flock? Another asked if it were possible that the baggis once existed in North America under the name of schmoos. And a third enquiry was: Had such a thing as a haggis pizza ever been tried in Scotland? I will keep you abreast if you think you can stand the suspense. were close in on numerous attacks. .Waterioo players just didn‘t seem to capitalize on their plays as they were checked closely. When they did shoot, they conâ€" tinually shot the puck over the net or missed it. Wayne Guylee and Mario Mayâ€" er filled in on left wing spots for two regulars who were absent, and came up with fine checking* Both are firstâ€"year midgets who could possibly be quite éeffective for Waterloo next year if their play continues to improve. Waterloo opened a round robâ€" in playoff series with Stratford and Woodstock, Feb. 3. The vicâ€" tory goes to the team with the most points.
