.    Featured By Ripley
To be featured in Ripley's "Believe it or Not" could be described as an honor equal to shaking hands with the queen. It's not everybody that has a little cartoon drawn of him and splashed in newspapers across the country in Ripley's oddity corner.
Harold Pretty, new pro c*t the Prince George Golf & Country Club, was one of Ripley's subjects 33 years ago in Victoria. Sixteen at the time, Pretty had just scored a two on a par five hole during the mid-winter Empress tourney at the Royal Colwood Golf Club.
Today he believes he's still the only pro golfer, in B.C. to be featured by Ripley.
Turned Pro In 1953
Pretty started golfing at the Uplands Golf Club in Victoria when he was geven years old. He played amateur in and around Victoria until turning pro in 1953 when he went to Port Alberni. He has been there the last four years.*
When he was about 18 he scored his first holc-in-onc, a 288 yard drive. The big event occurred at Uplands'.
In the big tourneys throughout the province he has entered he "never clicked" as he put it. Kenny Black of Vancouver was always there. "Good golfers are a dime a dozen," Pretty claims.
In pro tournaments he has, played in the B.C. Open but didn't fair too well. Last Aveek-end he entered the West Coast Open at Port Alberni, scoring one under par 67 on Saturday and in the main tournament Sunday finished with a 27 hole total of 204.'
A card with the time schedule will be sent out to each individual j next   week.   Classes  get   underway June 2 at nine o'clock in the morning.

For   those   who   took   lessons last year or have learned to swim ! elsewhere, there will be improve-1 ment classes. These will be held' for the regular admission charge j to tho pool. Registration for these classes will be held at the Civic Centre   Saturday,  morning   from 9:30 to 12 noon. "
¦ft    ir    iV
Beginners and improvers among teenagers and adults can register at the Civic Centre before next Wednesday for classes.
LADIES' GOLF
Jane Kenedy won the straight nine event in ladies golf Tuesday with a 41 net. She also captured the low putt event for nine holes with nine putts.
Next Tuesday a straight nine event is again scheduled.
SMART   PUPILS
LADYSMITH, B.C. (CP)—Bright pupils in school here and in nearby Chemainus will be encouraged to cover the first three grades in primary school in two years.

Learning To Make Ice
Pretty first came, into the wonderful Prince George country Avhen most people were recovering from a month-long attack of 40 below weather. It was in February this year, that he answered a request from the local golf club to look the place over.
Despite the fact he couldn't see the actual course "because of snow, he decided he liked the place and came back. He went out on the course for the first time* Tuesday night.
Looking after a curling rink, making ice and other associated duties, will be something new for him, but he's confident he can keep the curlers just as happy as he does the golfers.
He's never made ice before, but will be travelling to Edmonton later on this year, to take a course in it.
It shouldn't be too hard a job to learn. After all, curlers are easier to please than golfers.
