They eagerly appreciate any new addition to their sporting gear, and the variety of gifts from which you can choose is endless Statistics show that golf has become one of the most popular of non-professional sports with Dads of all ages. A set of matched golf clubs may be just the thing he needs to improve his game. A sturdy golf bag also makes a fine gift — and don’t forget that Dad never has too many golt balls. For Fishing Fathers Fishing Fathers are also numerous. and for them a new roa or reel is a good catch. Creels, nets, lures, bait boxes, lines and waders are other items that are great for gift-giving. Is Dad a bowling enthusiast? Then there are plenty of ideas here. A new customized ball, holed to fit his grip, is sure to raise his score and win his thanks. Ball carrying bags and bowling shoes are other gifts he’ll put to good use. If Dad’s favorite sport takes him to the water, see that he takes along an appropriate gift. SCUBA gear, including flippers, air tanks, masks, spear guns and wet suits offer underwater excitement.

the necessary equipment. Outboard motors, life preservers, navigational aids, running lights, fog horns, fenders, log books and galley gear are all designed to keep Dad and his crew happily and safely afloat. On the Court If Dad does his thing on the tennis court, make certain he’s well stocked with cans of tennis balls, lots of snappy tennis wear, or maybe a brand new racquet. When Dad is on the hunt, don’t forget he can always use an extra rifle or shotgun as well as a full supply of shells and cartridges.

Hunting jackets, boots, camping gear and gun racks will also hit the bullseye with the hunter. Remember the “backyard sportsman,” too, with putting games, croquet and badminton sets, dart games, quoits and horseshoe layouts. Finally, for Dads who dig their sports strictly as a non-partici-pant, how about a set of tickets to his favorite game? To dress up Dad are gifts of kerchiefs — not handkerchiefs, but oversize squares of silk or cotton in bright colors and bold prints.

They Help Entertain Is he an Active Dad or a Dad ready to Relax? Most Dads are both, at one time or another, and one gifts category can please both. Whether Dad is relaxing in his easy chair (the one he got for Father’s Day) or taking to the outdoors to use that new sports equipment, gifts of electronic entertainment increase his pleasure. Compact, transistorized port-

ables go where Dad does, be they radios, TV sets, tape players or recorders. And how about a tape player for his car? To serve Dad’s special interests are such gifts as a ship-to-shore radio for the boating buff. Traveling Dads are likely to find a cassette tape recorder particularly practical, while the music-minded Dad could be gifted with anything from a radio-phono to a complete stereo system. If the gift of entertainment is going to be Dad’s major present this year, the family might consider surprising him with a color TV set. Scoring high in the Father’s Day game are gift certificates, to let him buy what he wants.
