includes immersion for three hours a day, for four days, in a tank-like room, where all you have for company are your team mates and four exercise bikes. Oh yes, and one putting hole! Meanwhile, in the safety
of the outside world, a sports specialist is playing merry with a set of con trols which raise heat and humidity within the room to an almost unbearable level. She said: “ It was hor
rible. The sweat was run ning off the end of my nose. We were allowed to drink a litre of water a day and that was it. At the end of each session, my clothes were wringing wet.” The intense training >repared the girls for the

Mhairi McKay lost seven and five against Carol
Semple-Thompson and Emily Klein.
She said: “There were
about 4,000 spectators and film crews everywhere. Mhairi was shaking so badly at one point that she could hardly mark a ball. To be honest, it was all a bit intrusive at times." She added that one of
her fondest memories of the competition, which resulted in Great Britain retaining the Curtis Cup after a draw, was the course itself, totally unlike
anything she had come across in England. She said: "It had a tele
phone box, a fridge and even toilets in the middle. Absolutely everything was catered for. It was incredi ble. I’ll never forget it.” Kirsty was joined dur
ing the competition by her parents, Ted and jean- anne, of Kenilworth Drive. Together, they attended a
special championship din ner. from where it was straight to Hot Springs, Virginia, and the US Amateur Open.

FIFTY years after he stared death in the face aboard a Royal Navy destroyer, dodg ing enemy aircraft and U-boats to take vital supplies to tlie belea guered pe opl e of Malta, pensioner .Jim Ha t e s has b e e n reward ed for his heroism.
The Maltese govern
ment marked the 50th anniversary of the end of the siege of their island during the second world wa r by a w a rd i ng a National Commemorative Medal to those brave Brit ish sailors who came to their aid. The 72-year-old from Sabden, who earlier this year paid his first emo tional return to Malta, has been awarded one of the medals. He was unable to attend
a presentation ceremony in London, so the medal arrived through the post at his Watt Street home with a commendation from the Maltese government. The medal bears the
inscription “To Bear Wit ness to Heroism and Devotion" in 1942. Mr Bates, who said it is
an honour to receive the medal, can vividly recall the horrors of the war when his ship, the first class destroyer “HMS Wil ton," was on convoy escort duty, helping the mer chant fleet deliver food, fuel and ammunition ami guarding troop ships going into harbour. Their main routes were
to Russia, North Italy and Malta, which meant facing the frozen wastes of the Arctic and the blazing heat of the Mediterranean. The medal marks the
THOUGHTfor the week
WHEN I was asked if I could quote tile words of Jesus, outlining His advice and teaching on Chris
tianity, these words from Matthew 7:12 came to mind: “So then, all the tilings which you wish that men .should do to you, so do you to them, for this is the law and the prophets." Prior to the ministry of Jesus, there were parallel
quotations of a negative kind, such as: “What is hate ful to yourself, do to no other." However, this is the golden rule in a negative sense. Jesus was definitely positive and His words in Matthew 7:12 can be regarded as the topmost peak of social ethics. They have been described as “the capstone of the whole ethics discourse.” When Confucius was asked, “ Is there one word
which may serve as a rule of practice for all one’s life?” he replied: “ Is not RECIPROCITA' such a word?” — “What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others."
This is notably negative. The positive words of our
Lord are far better. The writer of Psalm 15, in verse 3, also had the negative form when lie said: “Only
the man who does no evil to his neighbour can approach God.” The positiveness of our Lord’s words are far better.
Tlie writer of Psalm 15 was simply following the
unhelpful negative trend, as used by Epictetus’s prin ciple against slavery: “Do not inflict on others suf fering you wish to avoid yourself.”
Many had said, prior to Jesus: “Do not do to others
what you would not have them do to you.” Jesus changed this positively: “Do unto others what you would have them do unto you.”
The existence of our social system depends on our
due consideration of the needs of others. We realise that it is common sense not to treat people badly, lest they reciprocate and we are made to suffer as we sliould deserve to do. Tlie negative form of the golden rule involves noth
ing more than refraining from doing certain tilings and so is unsatisfactory. A person could refrain from harming anyone, yet never do any good to anyone and he a completely useless citizen. A goodness that consists of doing nothing would he a contradiction of everything that Christian goodness means. The law can enforce us into behaviour that does nothing to harm anyone, but it is quite another thing to decide to
go out of our way to be helpful to people as wo should like them to be helpful to us. Jesus recommended doing the extra mile when the
law compelled them to carry the enemy soldier’s bur den, instead of grudgingly fulfilling their lawful obli
gation. Tlie new positive outlook could transform our relationships with others, being the hallmark of the
citizen of the Kingdom of God (The Kingdom of Right Relationships). Positive living begins when we treat others as we
should like to he treated under similar conditions Think about it!
JOE STANSFIEM) Heroism rewarded
British involvement in the North Africa landings of 1942, when they took the pressure off Malta by tak ing North -Africa from the Germans, who had been pushing south. It pays tribute to the
courage of the men who had to face not only the hostile extremes of the weather, but the constant bombardment from enemy guns. Seaman Bates was responsible for loading the depth charges and supply ing ammunition to the gunners. Sailors who went over
board did not last minutes in the freezing waters and he lost many friends and stared death in the face himself many times. One of his most frightening experiences was when the ship was hit and the bomb went right through the upper deck, through the ammunition room and out the other side just above the water line, without exploding.
"You never knew you
were going to survive to see the next day — and all for nine shillings a week,” he said. W hen th e y w e r e
allowed ashore in Malta, he was shocked by the conditions in which the locals lived. So few ships actually made it into port that the people were almost starving. “They boiled up the slops from our ships to eat, they were

Mr Bates was just IS
when he joined up. After the war he was in the building trade and was a security man until he retired. He has two sons, Paul
and Peter, and a daughter, Mrs Daphne Murphy ami said: “They like to hear about my war stories, but it wasn’t all glory and I never wanted to go back to Malta to be reminded of it until this vear.”
