The Blyth Snow Travellers would like to strongly urge these drivers, as well as the parentsof unqualified drivers, that th is practice be stopped immediately to preventthe possible passing of a by-law to prohibit the operation of snowmobiles within the village limits. The snowmobile club tries to set up and maintain several miles of trails in rural areas around the village and it is our request that this is the only place that snowmobiles be operated. Please comply with our wishes. parents of both Peter and Kevin said Monday that they were unsure whether any of the competition will be shown on local television, but suggested that fans watch their local listings.
