This year's slimness is achieved by a reduction of in- sulation. Polyester fill has been replaced by thinner needlepunch fill combined with an alum- minized coating. The coating, taken in principle from American space-suit design, reflects body heat back to the body. How warm does it keep you? Warmer than a simple bulky fill, makers maintain. Nylon is still the predominant shell material. Synthetic leather is now offered for those who want something different. These materials are water- proof and airtight, which makes them great for keeping out moisture and cold breezes, but leads to the buildup of per- spiration. To reduce this, eyelets are installed in strategic spots, under armpits for instance, to allow moisture escape. In keeping with the slim look, there is a trend away from quilted suits. One piece suits are still the biggest seller, but two- piece outfits are quickly catching up. Some people prefer separate jacket and pants. This way they can use the separate pieces in other ways. In general, here are some tips concerning satisfactory togs for snowmobiling: CUFFS: Make sure that you get close wrist and ankle fit without, of course, prohibiting circulation. Knit cuffs are popular in that they expand to fit most wrist and ankle sizes and are easy to get in and out of. But they have a tendency to soak up moisture. Even with long gloves and boots, there's a chance of getting snow around the cuff areas, so we recommend self- closures on the cuffs. NECKLINES: Collars should provide warmth but should not be too tight or of a material harsh enough to chafe the neck. Most collars have a knit or pile lining and extend beyond the neckline, to be folded over turtle-neck style or worn up across the chin. HOODS: Most people prefer the kind of hood which tucks away or is detachable because they don't want to wear it when it's not really necessary, although the exotic fur-lined models can be extremely at tractive. Remember to wear a hat if your hood is not lined, and be certain that there's room for a hat (or for a helmet if you use one). ZIPPERS: Two-way zippers are the best, and essential on a one-piece snow suit. Look closely at the zipper for it alone could determine your satisfaction with the garment. The best zippers have large, strong teeth and all better suits are designed so that the puller cannot get caught in the material. POCKETS: We are pack animals, Ladies, especially, tend to have a lot to carry with them and snowmobiling doesn't exactly lend itself to toting large pocketbooks. Buying a snowsuit without adequate pockets will cause more aggravation than it's worth. Breast and waist pockets are a must for combs, lipsticks, Snowmobiles are skimming into the popularity picture across Canada, revolutionizing winter travel and establishing a new social life for winter-bound families. They're also of proven value for works of mercy, rescue missions and for tracking down criminals. It is estimated that more than a million of. the snub-nosed machines have hit the trails across North America in the last few years. They travel 50 miles an hour and more on a rubber belt turned by a motor, and on ski runners on the front. In many parts of Southwestern, Ontario snowmobiling for winter fun has become a way of life during the snowbound months, And in the northern parts of Ontario, the machine has become more than a fadt of fun life. In such sections of the province the By MRS. FRED BOWDEN CENTRALIA There were nine tables at play for the first euchre party of the season in the Community Centre, Monday night of last week with Mr. and Mrs, Earl Dixon and Mr, and Mrs. Larry Cronyn as con- veners. Mrs. Alvin Lobb captured the prize for the lucky card. Other prizes were men's high, Otto Darling; men's lone hands, Ralph Lightfoot; men's low score, Alvin Lobb. Ladies' high score, Mrs. Harry Carroll ; ladies' lone hands, Mary Shoebottom; ladies' low, Gayle Cronyn. Mr. and Mrs. Murray Neil, Mr. and Mrs. Ray Shoebottom will be the committee in charge of the next party. Persona Is Mrs. G. F. Penwarden of Sarnia was a visitor for a few (lays last week with Mrs. George Flicks. Mrs. Lorne Hicks was a Wednesday dinner guest with cigarettes, or anything that will break or cause discomfort in the derriere or at a thigh joint when riding. There's nothing more disconcerting than sitting down and hearing your sunglasses crack in your pants or hip pocket. Some manufacturers have satisfied the packer-people with long pockets on the side of the foreleg. They seldom get in your way when riding or moving. EXTRAS: Good-quality gar- mets are color-fast; colors match perfectly throughout and pat- terns match at the seams. Snaps are hidden or enameled to match the color of the material. The material gives where it is sup- posed to and it stays put where it is supposed to. Good garments are tailored to be loose-fitting but not sloppy. By MRS.

Me. & Mrs. Douglas Eyre and Richard of Shedden visited at the home of her parents Mr. & Mrs. Gordon Scott. Mr. & Mrs. Hugh Scott were serenaded Saturday night by a shivaree crowd: snowmobile is a necessity for much of the winter, without which some folks might never get out of the house. This is the year the snowmobile makers have gone all out to place a snowmobile with every family. They have come out with a whole line of smaller lightweight machines, stressing the fact that they are not only less costly than their larger forebears, but that they can be handled by Mom and Junior as well as Dad. Manufacturers, too, are aiming to get two snowmobiles in the family garage — and if they can't get the second machine in, they are hoping at least to have Dad augment his outfit with a sled for the kids to he towed behind the snowmobile, Ontario is truly becoming snowmobile country. More and them. On Thursday Mrs. Hicks and Mrs. Penwarden were dinner guests with Mr. & Mrs. W. H. Essery in Exeter and Friday they were entertained at the home of Mr. & Mrs. Wilfred Huxtable. Mrs, S.

Molnar visited more trails keep opening up for the use of snowmobilers, There are cross-country routes through miles of winter wonderland available. Snowmobiling has challenged skiing as a winter sport in which - the entire family may par- ticipate, Even some ski lodges which in previous years spurned the snowmobile are now making a pitch to attract devotees of the sport, Snowmobiling has even af- fected the fashion world, as outdoor winter clothing has become the concern of women as well as their men. Manufacturers became aware of a whole new market in winter outerwear, and began bringing out apparel which would not only protect the snowmobiler from the cold, but would be good to look at, too. over the weekend at the home of their son and daughter-in-law,, Mr. & Mrs. Stephen Molnar and family in Agincourt.
