Mr. Carson said if we feel like grasshoppers we'll act like grasshoppers and be treated like insects, but if we stand up with courage and advance we'll probably gain a victory. He said we need to have purpose, faith in God, and a distinct spirit. The steps in such a growth to realize that life has purpose and meaning and that faith is real and available.

USEFUL AS MACHINE Snowmobiles have become part of the recreational scene during the long Canadian winters, but many farmers are considering using them for practical purposes around the farm. Professor Ross Irwin, Extension Co-ordinator, School of Agricultural Engineering, University of Guelph, believes that snowmobiles could be used for pulling sleds loaded with bales of hay to the feedlot, getting out in deep snow to inspect the stock, or collecting the mail from otherwise inaccessible mail boxes. There are probably many other uses for these winter transports. In conjunction with the Ontario Department of Agriculture and Food, Professor Irwin suggests that the large 25 horse-power snowmobiles are the most practical for farmers. Snowmobiles are sized by their track width; the usual size track is from 15 to tti inches, but the larger tracks over 18 inches have, better traction on deep, soft snow. Because. considerable power is needed to pull a sled, the bigger-engieed snowmobiles are a better buy, Many snowmobiles have 2- or 4-cycle engines with upwards of 71/2 ' horsepower. The standard 15 horsepower engine has been largely replaced by . the 20 horsepower engine, The snowmobile takes pounding because of the terrain Over which it travels, so a farmer. should examine carefully the warranties offered with the machines available. Some warranties only extend for a three-month period, but some do offer a season's guarantee. Warranties are important, as snowmobile repairs can be costly. It is particularly important, says Professor Irwin, that the engine be properly cared for, with the right oil and fuel mixtures being used, and other engine needs looked after. 4 Est b Times-Advocate, November 1St MO Paso SA 4-H leaders at Royal W.I. collect for CAS Snowmobiling big business
