Committee members, John Wistrand, Dick Gonyea, Pat
Lucas, Bob Alonzi, Peter Rappoccio, Mike Maffei, A1 Moore
and I, have met several times to discuss our individual
research on the needy within our area and to make recom- i
mendations.
Through this research, we located many large and small
local organizations to whom gifts of toys are just as welcome
as contributions of money or clothing. That is why we feel
that without digging into our pockets we can launch a “ Toys
for Tots” campaign.
Therefore, we are asking you to look through those clut­
tered corners in your basements and closets that have been
waiting to be cleaned out anyway and to select all the toys that
are in working order. Then, just phone the Committee Mem­
ber who lives nearest you and he will gladly stop by to make a
pick-up.
Please give a moment of your time to help others. It’s a
great feeling, so let us hear from you.
Sincerely,
Bob Bruce, Chairman

Something to Think About

...

A THANKSGIVING THOUGHT
The Johnsons had two turkeys so
They sent one down the street
To Widow Brown who worked so hard
Her fam ily’s bills to meet.
Now Widow Brown had one small hen
So, when the turkey came,
She had her children take the hen
To Miss Carr, old and lame.
Miss Carr, so glad to get the hen,
Was stirring up a cake;
“A half o f this, ” she said, “to John,
A blind man, near, I ’ll take. ”
“My, how I like a bit o f cake’’ . . .
Old John was filled with joy . . .
“I have two apples, one shall go
To that poor Connor boy. ’’
Now, if you want a happy time
Thanksgiving Day, this year,
Just do as all these people did . . .
Pass on some o f your cheer.
DON’T FORGET!!

Dear MGCSA Member:
At the Annual Meeting last November, it was suggested
that in view of our good fortune as Superintendents, the
MGCSA should consider doing something special during the
holidays for the not so fortunate within our community.
Since the membership present expressed interest and
support, a “ Reaching Out” Committee was formed. The

MGCSA meeting at Greenwich Country Club on October 15th.
Paul Caswell, Superintendent; William Loweth, Greens Chairman;
and Jerry Coats, Golf Professional.

SNAP JUDGMENTS
The ability to think on one’s feet, to make quick and accurate
judgments under stress, is a valuable asset in the type of
emergency situation which often descends on golf course
superintendents. When such an occasion arises, a correct
decision must be made quickly, with no time for pondering or
further research. They must make a snap judgment, often
with a considerable investment depending on their decision.
Experienced executives who have had a great deal of ex­
perience in making quick decisions under pressure say that
making the right choice in such situations requires two par­
ticular talents. First, one must have a good memory, and,
secondly, he must be able to use that memory in analyzing the
situation at hand.
The background for making such snap judgments depends
on the superintendent’s intimate knowledge of his course and
its operation. That’s where the memory part comes in. Each
bit of information may at one time or another be important,
and by remembering bits of data, you can call upon your
memory when you need to make a quick decision. A
thorough, well-organized filing system can be a big help, too.
Another important factor is your grasp of the big picture.
By keeping your goals in mind and relating the decision at
hand to your overall course operation, you can narrow your
options to a point where it is fairly simple to make the right
choice.
One good way to develop your ability to make snap
judgments is to go ahead and make them in non-critical situa­
tions without applying them. By making such decisions and
then observing what really happens later, you can sharpen
your decisive skill for the real thing.
Although there is no advantage to making snap decisions
when there is time to do a thorough and rational study of the
situation, you can develop your intuition and your ability to
make quick choices with a minimum of stress. Whether you
are ready or not, sooner or later you will be called upon to use
them.

TROUBLESHOOTING YOUR CHAIN SAW
For many people, winter’s onset means that it’s time to lay
in a supply of firewood. Others will take advantage of the
slow season to clear away unwanted brush and dead trees.
Whatever the reason, it’s time to get your chain saw running
right.
If yours doesn’t sound quite right, or if it isn’t cutting
properly, the problem might be a simple one that you could
correct easily. Check in your owner’s manual for a trouble­
shooting guide which correlates symptoms with possible
mechanical problems and corrections. If your manual is lost,
refer to this guide prepared by the John Deere Company,
Moline, IL.
1. Poor Cutting. First, check the chain. It may be dull
or have been improperly sharpened. Also, while wearing
gloves, check the chain tension by lifting the chain at the
center of the guidebar until the bar itself lifts up. The bottom
of the drive lug should be flush with the top of the guide bar.
Is the guide bar damaged? Is the chain installed backward?
Always put the chain on the guide bar so that the top cutting
edges face the nose of the bar.
If the chain and guide bar check out, then the problem may
be in the power supply. Check for dirt in the exhaust ports
and muffler, and look for a dirty fuel filter. Finally, adjust
the carburetor.
2. Oiler not working. Maybe it’s simply out of oil, or the
oil supply hole is plugged. See if the oil strainer is dirty.
Perhaps the vent in the oil tank cap is plugged. BE sure the
oiler is adjusted correctly.
3. Engine won't start. Read the operator’s manual or call a

We’ll P lant
LARGER

dealer to check the proper starting procedure. It could be out
of gas or simply flooded. If the sparkplug is fouled, replace it.
Check the carburetor adjustment.
4.
Engine dies or accelerates poorly. This problem can be
caused by a fouled spark plug, a dirty air cleaner, or plugged
vent on the fuel tank cap. Maybe the saw simply ran out of
gas. The carburetor could be adjusted incorrectly.
If after you check the problems listed, the symptoms per­
sist, take the chain saw to a dealer who offers repair service.
EVALUATING YOUR OPERATION
With the passing of summer, golf course superintendents in
many parts of the country have an opportunity to sit back,
take a deep breath and evaluate their operations. On many
courses, heavy player traffic has slowed, seasonal employees
have gone and budget time is approaching. It’s time to take
inventory.
Besides the problems of getting the course and equipment
ready for winter and infentorying leftover supplies, it’s also
time to look back over the summer and take a mental inven­
tory of your operation’s strengths and weaknesses.
For example, what went wrong during the season? Was
your course damaged by insects or disease? If so, what can be
done to prevent a recurrence? Now is the time to figure out
what should be done and when.
Were your crew members aerifying the course on the day of
a club tournament? The slow seasons are the time to work out
lines of communication to prevent such misunderstandings
from happening next year.
What can be done to improve the course? Take an objective

‘MEETING GOLFS CHALLENGES EFFICIENTLY”

look at your irrigation system, your equipment and the design
and condition of your course. Maybe this is the time to plan
improvements.
While you are evaluating your performance over the last
season, don’t overlook the things that went especially well,
either. Did you pick up any additional responsibilities this
year, responsibilities you might like to continue? Did you try
a new scheduling program that was effective? How can it be
changed to work even better?
Which of your employees really came through for you? Did
an assistant take over some of your responsibilities and run
with them? Which employees are willing to put out a little
extra effort? Which ones seem to have good ideas? Did one of
your seasonal employees prove to be especially hardworking
and reliable? If so, you will want to make arrangements to
have him back next year.
Now take a look at those projects that were put off all
summer. Now is the time to dust them off and get to work on
them.
Here is where a good filing system comes in handy. By
taking clear notes on problems and opportunties as they
occur, and by adding to those notes when you evaluate your
operation at the end of the season, you can develop a handy
reference tool for use in the future.
Whatever your evaluation of the summer proves, it’s im­
portant to reap whatever benefits you can. If everything went
relatively well, it’s just as vital to know why as it is to uncover
the causes if there were problems. By building on the past
year’s achievements and avoiding its mistakes, we can face
anything the future has to offer.

MENTAL STRAINS REPORTED FROM AILING ECONOMY

A middle-aged, unemployed Detroit chemical worker
reached a point where he couldn’t look his wife in the eye.
Every time he did, he said, he burst into tears.
In nearby Lincoln Park, a young married couple lost their
jobs, their house, their car, their television and their tele­
phone. Both began extramarital affairs. Both began abusing
their two small children.
These are just two of the cases cited by beleaguered mental
health workers around the country who report a growing
mini-epidemic of depression, alcoholism and family violence.
As they did in a similar Associated Press survey three
months ago, mental health officials lay much of the blame on
the continuing strain of dealing with inflation, recession and
unemployment.
“ Historically, when financial conditions from a national
perspective are tighter, we will witness an increased incidence
of breakdown,” said David Turkot, an Atlanta psychologist.
Wholesale price figures released recently marked the first
drop in that economic barometer in 4l/ i years, although the
Labor Department said the 0.2 percent drop would have been
a 0.4 increase had the index not included a new factor never
used before.
August’s Consumer Price Index had prices 12.8 percent
higher than a year ago, and bank prime interest rates skipped
higher recently, which eventually will make loans prohibitive­
ly expensive to many customers.
In addition, the national unemployment rate is now 7.5
percent. That’s 8 million Americans out of work.

“ Three out of five people who come to us for help are un­
employed. Our volume is up 25 to 35 percent,” said Judson
Stone, director of the Six Area Coalition Mental Health
Center in Lincoln Park, Michigan.
Unemployment in Wayne County—where Lincoln Park is
located, just outside Detroit—was 15.6 percent in June, the
latest statistic available, said Rick Rosen of the Bureau of
Labor Statistics.
“ We use unemployment insurance figures for our statistics
and they’ve been so overloaded there with new applicants that
they can’t get the numbers to us,” he explained.
In Baltimore, unemployment was 8.6 percent in August. A
month later, 26,200 people there applied for 75 Social
Security jobs.
“ It is a desperate picture,” said Phyllis Diggs, director of
the North Baltimore Mental Health Center. She said 15 to 20
percent more people are seeking the center’s help this year
than last.
“ It’s been increasing steadily for the last five or six
months,” she said. “ The way it comes out is in more depres­
sion, heavy drinking and some family violence.”
None of this surprises Thomas Cottle, a sociologist and
psychologist at Harvard Medical School who has studied un­
employment’s emotional impact for 15 years. Cottle calls un­
employment “ a killer disease.”
“ In our culture, working is close to the center of life. Our
culture teaches that if you don’t work in an acceptable way,
then you’re supposed to be depressed,” Cottle said.

“ And when job loss lasts . . . a million symptoms show—
tooth decay, kidney failure, alcoholism, sexual infertility.”
To make matters worse, Cottle said, the mentally ailing un­
employed often don’t seek help: “ A lot of people want to go
for help, but they don’t want to bear the extra burden of
feeling that along with being out of work, they’re also crazy.”
Local conditions swell the tide of troubled Americans, as
well—like drought. Southeastern Arkansas, for example, had
only one inch of rain from May 16 to late September.
“ We usually get 12 to 14 inches. The farmers are really
hurting,” said Clarence Perkins of the Southeast Arkansas
Mental Health Center in Pine Bluff, where client volume has
increased 15 to 20 percent.
In Stone’s service area near Detroit, unemployment from
the ailing auto industry and related businesses is nearing 30
percent.
“ The hardest hit in terms of numbers are the young people,
young married couples who have no resources to fall back
on,” he said. “ They feel impotent and angry and take it out
on each other and the children.
“ The next largest group is older—a guy about 50 years old
who’s permanently laid off. He can’t pass the physical for a
comparable job, so he’s facing a future doing things like over­
night work as a security guard for less money than he used to
make.”
Inflation batters some Americans more than others, agreed
psychologist Richard Kiley of the Appalachian Mental Health
Center in Elkins, W.VA.
“ The elderly . . . already lived through the Depression in
the ’30s. They’re worried about losing their homes a second
time. There’s a great deal of anxiety and depression,” he said.
“ We’re also seeing many of their children, who feel depres­
sed and guilty because they want to help their geriatric
parents, but they can’t afford to.”
“ People came to us a year ago depressed and crying, but
now we’re seeing people who are suicidal,” said Jack Viar,
director of the Tri-County Community Mental Health Center
in North Kansas City, Mo.

But Viar isn’t so sure the economy deserves full blame for a
15 percent rise in volume at his center.
“ I’ve been wondering why our inpatient unit is running full
all the time . . . We’ve had other recessionary times and I
don’t recall the volume going up the way it has the last five or
six months.
