The Crown will assume responsibility . for investigation and prosecution, after a' complaint of trespass is made. Allan Grossman, provincial secretary for Resources Development, said the new legislation will ensure' that the' property owner or tenant is not liable for injury to a snowmobiler who is a trespasser or doesnt have written permission to be on the property.

For well over 90 Christmases now the Salvation Army has been bringing little gifts . and the warmth of friendship into hospi- tals, prisons, old people's homes, into all the "dark corners" of life. The Army of the helping hand tries to fill that December 25 date with the true meaning and spirit of Christmas ... for everyone. Giving is part of the Christmas spirit. That's why the Salvation Army gladly gives its time to make this holy season more meaningful to those in need.

Mr, Grossman told the Legislature that "the government will also establish a trails council to assist in. the complete development. of a trails system. This council will consist of representatives from various recreational organizations, outdoor sport groups, conservationists,. farmers and interested bodies. The council will be asked to make proposals on how it believes our trails policy should be embodied in appropriate legislation," The Ministry of Natural Resources, through its 48 district offices,, is now drawing up a complete inventory of existing snowmobile trails throughout Ontario. The Ministry will map trail routes and, during the winter, will identify and help maintain such routes by packing the snow with grooming machines. Mr. Grossman hopes snomobile clubs will assist the ministry. "We actively seek their co- operation and I invite interested groups to contact the nearest district office of the Ministry. Once the trails council has been appointed and has had an opportunity to make further recommendations, appropriate omnibus legislation will be brought before this house to refine and expand the complete trails program", he said.

Car exhaust is also a culprit. Lead concentrations in the blood of more than 5,o00 children were measured by a research team. Comparisons were made for children living close to a major traffic street and those living farther away. The researchers found that children living near a major traffic street had much higher levels of lead in their blood than those living a block or more away. The findings were reported in a recent publication of the Aerican Medical Association. "Our findings not only indict present automobile emissions," the report concluded, "but argue for a realistic planning policy that can effectively reduce these types of emissions, or alternatively, shunt heavy traffic away from areas of high-population density."
