Recreation Tips The first snow of the season has fallen on most of the vacationlarids in Ontario. Not much snow, but enough for snowmobiling, and therein lies one of the big, early-season hazards, The Ontario Safety League states that a rash of minor accidents and injuries occur every fall when snowmobilers take advantage of the first skiffs of snow to try out their machines. Comparatively small obstacles are not yet covered by a heavy blanket of snow resulting in upsets and operators being thrown from their machines with no soft blanket of PnOw, to•JaiLP,P.. $9,,,t.kke it 1M until you have the protection of deep snow. This is a good time for snowmobilers to get out and check their trails while they can still see obstacles and hazards. Cut out deadfalls and excessive brush and get those trail markers up while the weather is mild, enough to use a hammer and nails with some degree of comfort, And speaking of trail markers, the Ontario Safety League has just replenished their stock of snowmobile trail and danger markers for the coming season, Snowmobile resorts and clubs interested in purchasing these approved trail markers at nominal prices should enquire at the Ontario Safety League office, 208 King St. W., Toronto 1, Ontario.

The Minister said the $17 million plan, designed to ensure a -maximum of $100 to any one household, "is an important Immediate step taken while the Government-continues to work toward its broad objective of g Meaningful reform of the system Pr local taxation." Tax reform is not realistic until the market value assessment program is completed in 1975, Mr. IVIcKeough said.

Olson moves to reduce the use of mercury from the proper use of treated seed, "However, we believe it prudent to limit the use of such pesticides to situations where there are no alternative control measures and where they are essential for disease control," Mr. Olson said. Alternative seed treatments and other control measures are being introduced and during the next several years these will replace the mercurials that have been the mainstay of seed disease control measures for decades. "However, the use of mercural pesticides can, in some circumstances, result in localized increased levels," Mr. Olson said.

The second is the Farm Tax Reduction Program, Farmers: will receive benefits later this month. . Agriculture Minister H. A. (Bud) Olson announced December 1, moves to reduce the use of mercury as a pesticide. All companies registering seed treatment pesticides containing mercury have been notified that registrations under the • Pest Control Products Act for those to be used to treat wheat, oats, barley and rye will be cancelled as of December 1, 1970. This action does not affect stocks at retail outlets. At the same time, Mr. Olson announced that the Department will continue to re-register for 1971, mercurial seed dressings which are for the treatment of seed of sugar beets, turnips, safflowers, sorghums, flax and other oil seed crops and . 'Vegeta-64; '"provided'` labelling dearly recommendS against use on cereals." Re-registrations will also be granted to permit the sale in 1971 of the seed treatment stocks at retail outlets. The changes will, in effect, prevent the introduction of new supplies of mercurial seed dressings for use on cereal crops and allow the normal use of residual retail stocks during 1971, Mercury is naturally and universally present in the environment. hmer•••••••••••••••n avimmrariorm THE McKILLOP MUTUAL FIRE• INSURANCE COMPANY ••••.,----%-"--"0. The Designers are proclaiming the midi as the look' for fall. But it seems, in these days of women's lib, free thought, women am determined to wear what they want or what they know suits' them best. This free-wheeling attitude also extends to the furnishing of your home. Modern is the 'midi-look' in fall decorating. Everywhere modern is replacing pseudo-spanish or colonial. The young beginners have no problems selecting furnishings for a bare apartment. What about those of us who have already bought traditional furnishings, yet still want to grove with some modern? How to incorporate modern in the already furnished room is our subject — the ties that bind. Eclecticism or 'do-your-own-thing' has become the adopted ethic in decorating today. It is the mixing of styles and periods of furnishings to make a highly individual room. So to incorporate some of the new modern into a basically traditional room is very fashionable. You might introduce a steel and glass coffee table to the room in front of a traditional sofa. Or, you might replace the traditional occasional tables with straight-legged modern ones keeping your original ornate lamps. A modern T-square or parsons table could -replace an old dining table with your ancestral chairs drawn up to it. Lacquered tables solve the problem of having to match existing woods, add spots of bright colour. New lamps made from plastic are so sculptured in form they can be used in the same way as a work of art on a chest or commode. New shag and plush carpets that are on the market are a suitable catalyst for the mixed room. They're neither tie that binds traditional or too modern, but elegance. r cehr a wonderful informal Designers find patterns in walicoverings are perfect to give a room a new modern look and still provide suitable co-ordination for mixing modern with your existing background. The newest collection of wallcoverings from Sunworthy, called 'Allure' is a highly sophisticated selection of traditional-like patterns, styled with contemporary flair. The colours are subtly chosen for eclectic decorating. They are halfway between the sharpness of flat modern and the conservative colourings of period designs. Don't be afraid to think modern when looking for replacements to your present furnishings — more often than not they will be the 'chic' tie that binds.
