Keller • It is' not often that a sport sweeps an area in such a short space of time as has snowmobiling. This is particul- arly so when the costs involved in par- ticipation are relatively high. the freedom of movement which a snowmobile permits provides perhaps the same challenge as does boating or flying: One is not limited to defined roads or` caught up in traffic. With a snowmobile .the wide snow covered fields stretching into the distance are invitations to travel on our own where we will. The degree of interest among people of all ages —, even some grandmothers - have been known to 'go snowmobiling Sunday afternoons — resultS of course A.-in-Problems, Nat the least of these is the combination of the noise which the machines generate and the late hours in which some owners choose to oper- ate. - The problems of course don't lie with the snowmobile. the people who drive them that create t ie diffi- culty. • • And as with boats and air craft, reg- • ulations have become necessary to preserve the' many froln the indes- - cretions of •the, thoughtleSS few.

It required the 'services of another team to pull them out. The ice harvest has commenced arid 1D.D.Wilson's teams are busily engaged hauling the'frozen water from the'Egmond- ville dam. Mr. Geo.

There has been a mutual recog- nition on the part•of both operators and towns people that, if driven with cour- tesy and common sense and with an ap- preciation of the 'rights of others, the snowmobile need not be offensive. They recognize this new machine has opened up an entirely new and exhilarating op- portunity for all of us to enjoy to a greater extent our Canadian winters. Much of the credit for this must go to the close liason existing between the Seaforth Snowmobile Club and area police and the high sense of responsi- bility exhibited. by club members. But it must be a continuing program. There remain many who are disturbed by the noise, ignoring the fact -that it 'is no greater than that of motorcycles or for that matter of many power lawn- mowers." Like the lawnmower on a quiet' sum- mer day the snowmobile in winterzcan be equally abmixious if permitted to op- erate 'at full ,speed When someone near- by is attempting to sleep: If the present concern for responsible operation is allowed to lapse and those who exhibit no regard for commun- ity zooming along sidewalks, across streets and through private property at' all hours of. the day or night be- come the majority, inevitably there will be further restrictions. As long, however, 'as snowmobiles are operated sensibly by sensible peo- ple snowmobiling can be continued both as a sport and e. valuable means of winter travel and with a- minimum of restrictions. It is up to' the operators themselves. Jack Brennan, who purchased' Jaffies Ryan's fruit farm has disposed of his 100 acre farm for $7,000 to Pat Jordan of Dublin.

It will murder you, physically and financially. We hadn't hada big bash for several years, and decided it was time. Wp want carefully over our list of friends, neigh- bours and people-we-owe, and came up with 63 'names. We cut it ruthlessly to 20. And we wound up with 31. The main point, When you're giving a party, is to be prepared. Leave nothing to the last minute. Check the little things. Have you enough wood for your fireplace? I discovered itad two chunks, but with old fruit baskets, cardboard boxes, 'and the bottom .step of the cellar stairs, managed quite nicely. • Be sure yOur wiring works. The switch for our bathroom lights hadn't worked for four days, and I couldn't get an electrician because they were all i Florida or somewhere. But we inst ed candles, and some of the ladies /ho sed the facilities came down glowing hey ha ifet looked so glamorous in years. Have a last-minute look at yottr sidewalks. They might seem all right to you, but not all people are mountain goats. I phecked mine about half an hour before the party. Back walk was fine, if one had enowshoes.., Shovelled it out. Front Walk • •was fine :too. 'Except for a four-foot bank of solid ice and snow between the street- and our sidewalk, a gift from the town snowplow.
