FOR AI-L GOOD SPORTS BY Ross Haugh Fun for whole family Showmobiling is becoming one of North Amer, ica's fastest growing family winter sports and this holds true in this area as about 40 of the snow ma- chines can, be seen in the district. The invention of the snowmobile was the brainchild of the late Armand Bombardier of Val- court, Quebec, This French Canadian pioneeret1 many track vehicles during the war years for the govern- ment and designed and produced many snow travel- ling vehicles for industry. Described as the Henry Ford of snowmobiling, Bombardier in launching 2,500 of his Sk-Doos in 1959, created an industry that this winter season numbers 41 manufacturers who will sell in excess of 150,000 vehicles, with about one-third of that amount being merchandised in Canada, Outboard motor manufacturers saw the po- tential of this new sport and an opportunity to diver- sify for year-round production. Especially in the northern summer resort areas, marine dealers who are natural outlets for snowmobile sales, service and rentals now have a 12-month business season. Many dealers who closed shop after Thanks- giving now enjoy a remunerative winter. Department stores and mail order houses have also gone all out in retailing these vehicles. The boom that started in the winter of 1964- 65 has been .on the upswing ever since and it seems everybody wants to snowmobile. Boating and snow- mobiling have much in common. Both are family sports and offer the challenge to get away from it all and explore the wide open spaces. The opportunity now exists to make new friendships through the many snowmobile clubs that are springing up and cottage owners can now enjoy the experience of visiting their properties during the winter. This is a sport that has caught the fancy of fun-loving Canadians and one that a family can get into for less than $1,000. Like all sports, snowmobiling needs rules to govern the action of the players to keep it a safe and enjoyable pastime. Two rules that can be self-imposed are care and common sense, Without these two requisites this sport cannot be indulged in with any degree of safety. There is no special legislation governing snow- mobiles but this is expected to change. In the past, the Ontario Department of Transport has controlled snowmobiles under the same legislation that covers motorcycles. These regulations apply only when a snowmobile is being operated on the highway. With snowmobile registration in Ontario ex- ceeding 50,000 vehicles capable of travelling up to 40 miles per hour, this department is currently re- viewing legislation. It would not be surprising if other interested provincial departments enact regu- lations to control off-highway operation. Nobody likes regulations to control recrea Lion but imfortunately there are many who cause problems by" disregarding the rights of owners of private property. An interesting folder entitled Snowmobiling Fun For The While Family, along with the Ten Com- mandments of the sport can be obtained free of charge from the Ontario Safety League at 208 King St. West, Toronto 1, Ontario. Also, if any one is interested in forming a club, information on the procedures can be obtained from the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs at Box 265, Midland, Ontario. Although there aren't any official clubs in the immediate area, we understand Don Mousseau has built some runs on his farm in Hay Township. EXAMINING HUNTERS Under new provincial regulations that took effect on the first of January of this year, all novice hunters wishing to obtain their first hunting licence will be required to pass a hunting licence examina- tion conducted by the Department of Lands and For- ests. This move places the carrying of a gun on a comparable level to driving a car. The examination comprising both written and practical tests covers a variety of subjects including game laws, game iden- tification, firearms, firearm handling and safe hunt- ing practices. Due to the serious nature of this examination, the Department of Lands and Forests strongly urges all prospective hunters to complete a course in Hunt- er Safety Training from a qualified instructor before making application to write the hunter examination. Applications should be made on a regular form which is available at all Department offices and from all local issuers of gun licences, The completed applications must be mailed to arrive at the Depart- ment of Lands and Forests hi Hespeler, one week in advance of the date the candidate wishes to take a scheduled examination. If any aspiring young hunters in this area are interested, provincial examiners will be at the Rod and Gun Club in Clinton on February 1 from 10 a,m. to 4 p.m. to give the required tests. CARNIVAL COMING While the big event is still more than a month away officials of the Exeter Figure Skating Club are Making preparations for their annual carnival, This year's show entitled wroyland" Will be held at the local arena on Saturday, February 24. In addition, the club is staging a dance at the Exeter Legion Hall on March g 'in an attempt to bolster their finanees. The exRellses of operating the club are higher this year as the older members are being given a little extra instruction. ALWAYS WORKING We recently heard of a busy young fellow at Ohio University who has no spare time at all when the schools hockey team is in action. Allan Albert is the back-up goalie for the Ohio, puck squad and also handles the play-by-play descriptions of all the games 'on radio. He broadcasts the games directly from the bench and in full uniform. Whenever Allan's services are required on the ice, he simply turns the micro- phone over to an assistant and the game continues, both on the ice and on the Alt. Allan is a brother Of Mary Atheft, who handles the broadcast duties for all New Vork games it the NHL, The Exeter Hawks maintained their season .500 percentage rec- ord in Bluewater junior play as they broke even in a pair of contests over the past week. The Hawks outskated t h e Wallaceburg Selkirks on Exeter ice Friday to come up with a 5-2 Crediton Tigers remain unbeaten The unbeaten record of the Crediton Tigers in WOAA inter- mediate "D" play has stretched to ten games as the result of two more wins over the past week. The Tigers edged the Monkton Wildcats 6-3 in the Perth County village Friday and came back to their home grounds at the Exeter arena, Sunday, to thump the Blyth Merchants 12-2. The C rediton six now has nine wins and a tie and hold a comfortable lead in first place in the five team league. In their next WOAA action, the Tigers travel to Zurich, Friday to meet the Flyers and face the Monkton Wildcats in Exeter, Sun- day at 8:30. START SLOWLY On Exeter ice Sunday, the C red- iton boys had a lot of trouble getting untracked and although they held a 1-0 lead at the end of the first period, only the fine goal tending of Tom Glavin kept them in contention early in the game. They came out flying in the sec- ond period and before five min- utes had elapsed were out in front 5-0. Fred Lamb, who shares season scoring honors with Dennis Mor- rissey, scored the only goal of the first period. All told in the middle frame the Tigers scored seven times as opposed to a single counter by the Opposition to take a commanding 8-1 lead as the clubs headed for the second rest period. Morrissey, a top gOal producer on last year's Exeter Hawks club, scored twice in the second stanza while singles were added by Glenn OverhOlt, Gerald and Doug McBride, Gord Vincent and Lamb. Grant Elliott fired the first successful Blyth shot spoiling Glavin's bid fora shut-out. In the final period, Morrissey and Lamb each scored their third marker of the night, while Doug McBride and Overholt each chip-, ped in with their second score of the fast moving, cleanly played contest. Ken Lee replied With the final Blyth score. In addition to his scoring proW- est i Lamb picked up three ea- Slats.

The trip to Petrolia was originally scheduled for Sunday but was postponed because of the stormy weather conditions. The local juniors now possess a season record of seven wins, the same number of losses and two ties good for 16 points and fifth place in the league stand- ings. Dresden Kings have won 13 times and gained two ties in 18 starts and hold a commanding first place lead with 28 points. Alvinston and Petrolia are next in line, each with 20 points, while Blenheim holds down fourth spot, two points ahead of the Exeter club.

LOSE IN THIRD The Hawks 4-3 loss in Petrolia Tuesday was the result of Ted Landon's second goal of the night with less than two minutes left in the game. The Hawks were first to hit the score sheet and Were holding a 3-2 lead well into the second period.
