An unprecedented five-month
season gave central Ontario ski
areas during 1969-70 their
biggest business figures on
record, according to a survey by
the Department of Tourism and
Information,
Highly, favorable snow
conditions provided an
exceptional 22 weekends of
skiing in most areas, beginning
Nov. 22 arid ending Apr. 19.
Even southern areas of the
province enjoyed a remarkable
number of 17 good skiing
weekends.
Along with the past season's
abundance of snow, new and
improved facilities installed at
many Ontario resorts also
contributed to the upsurge.
An outstanding increase was
recorded by Blue Mountain
resort, near Collingwood, with a
gross over $1 million, a rise of
more than 100 per cent over the
previous year.
Virtually all resorts report a
definite upswing in revenue for
the season just completed, with
several showing particularly
significant increases, including
Snow Valley and Horsehoe
Valley, Barrie; Valley Schuss and
Twin Hearths, Orangeville;
Georgian Peaks, Thornbury;
Bethany Ski club and Devil's
Elbow, and Mansfield,
With the co-operation of ski
areas and all media, the
Department again provided
detailed reports on snow and
weather conditions throughout
the entire period. Reports were
also available by telephone 24
hours a day, seven days a week,
at the Barrie Travel
Centre.
The survey also indicated
notable increases in

observations of the available
outdoors can build a solid
foundation of nature lore.
Learning to decipher animal
signs such as tracks, buck rubs,
scats, dens, and their feeding
activities 'is a fascinating study
and can add immeasurably to
the success and enjoyment of
your hunting trip. Animal signs
tell an absorbing story once you
have learned to read them.
' Hunting, and es ecially
stalking, , is a,. Aernarid,ing
effective outdoor' leg-ding
process. Wild game is sharply
attuned to any differences in the
immediate environment, and 'the
young hunter quickly gains a
vast new respect for the ability
of a rabbit, squirrel or crow to
cope with its enemies and use its
own knowledge of nature to the
fullest.
Treasure every scrap of your
outdoor lore. Somewhere,
sometime, it will be invaluable.
The outdoors is a living
environment, every changing,
never sleeping. If you are to
enjoy and understand it,
capitalize on your ability to
think and reason.

Although recent rains have
reduced the fire hazard in the
District, Department staff have
been carrying out programs to
"prepare" men and equipment
for fire situations.
Part of this program was
initiated at the beginning of the
fire season (April 1st to October
31st) when training sessions
were held at the Division
Headquarters at Owen Sound,
Stratford and Hespeler for our
forest "Caretakers". These
people are usually located close
to Agreement Forest Tracts, and
are responsible for detection and
reporting of fires on or adjacent
to the forest properties.

Dan Sherry, former Olympic,
Pan American and British
Empire Games competitor, has
been appointed co-ordinator of
the competitive swimming
program offered by the Ontario
Department of Education's
youth and recreation branch.
Mr. Sherry, who set a world
record in the 100-metre
butterfly in the 1965 British
Empire championships, will
work in co-operation with the
Canadian Amateur Swimming
Association on the two-year-old
program. Mr. Sherry competed
in the 1964 Olympics in Toyko,
Their responsibility also
includes some fire suppression.
They are issued with basic hand
tools, such as shovel, pack-can
and fire rake, in order to take
initial action on small fires.
These training days or
contracts with local caretakers
increases their interest and
incentive to protect "their"
forest areas. This increased
awareness of the danger of grass
and forest fires also serves the
cause of fire prevention.
Preparedness can be
accomplished to a great extent
by training. However, good fire
prevention means that the
preparedness will never have to
be utilized. Prevent forest fires!
the British Empire Games in
1962 and in the Pan American
Games the following year.
In the past two 'years more
than 15,000 young swimmers
from 50 Ontario communities
competed under the program. It
features local, regional and
provincial swim meets. This year
it has been expanded to include
any community that desires to
participate.
The program is designed to
assist Ontario communities in
providing opportunities for
young people with the interest
and ability to learn competitive
swimming skills.

The most important task for
the young hunter after he has
learned as much as can be taught
in the classroom and the
handling of firearms, is to
increase his knowledge of nature
through personal observation
and study.
Every race of hunters has
schooled its youth to observe,
learn, think, and to apply
• knowledge as they acquired it. season biggest The Indians trained each, hunter
ever' Le - - • 'from babytiOod sO that his Skill
' -was 5oliclly based on his Own
knowledge of practical outdoor
lore.
The best of such knowledge is
self taught. Knowledge gained
through books is no substitute
for personal field experience and
keen observation of the pages of
nature.
The seasoned hunters and
woodsmen have three things in
common: alert minds, sharp
powers of observation, and years
of outdoor experience. Young
hunters of today seldom can
begin in the deep forest where
such men trained, but even in
the suburbs there are still
insects, birds, animals, trees, and
weather to study. Keen
Swimmer named to ODE
