Crown lands by' the'Ministry of
Natural Resources to accommo-
datr snowmobilers who prefer
this kind of prepared and marked
trail, development:
These trails, located -in areas of
relatively heavy snow cover, are
established to supplement the
trails developed in provincial
parks and the many other trails
marked by snowmobile clubs,
• winter resorts gar d. priirate' land-
owners.
There is no charge for their
use. They include parking areas
and rest stops at convenient in-

Groove your swing
for more strikes
Regardless of your bowling ef-
ficiency, and whether or not you
are bowling for fun or in serious
competition, you are interested in
increasing the number of strikes
you get. The strike is the home
run of bowling—the big thrill and
the way you can increase your
average.
TheSports and,'itness Instruc-
tor, in a December issue story,
says many bowlers cannot under-
stand why they rgil so hot and
cold, bowling well a game or in
one session and then losing their
touch in the next.
The basic structure on which
consistent bowling depends is a
smooth, well -grooved delivery.
Film studies indicate that where-
as the top bowlers consistently
use a delivery which is precisely
the same each time they bowl,
the average bowler varies„ cer-
tain elements for his delivery.
and, accordingly, is inconsistent.
Develop Delivery
The first objective, if you wish
to improve your bowling and sub-
sequently increase • the strikes
you make or your ability, to get
that extra pin, is t4 develop a
well -grooved delivery technique.
Bring your arm back •to the
same height on the backswing
EVERYTIME. For most bowlers
the ball should be brought back to
a position where the arm is paral-
lel with the floor.
When the arm comes down it
should be directly under your
shoulder in a straight line. If
there is any deviation from this
straight line delivery position—
even a couple of inches—it will
affect the consistency of your re-
lease point.
Steady Head
The shoulders should be square
to the pins and the head should
not be allowed to move from side
to side. In other words, your deli-
very position should be complete-
ly standardized. Many bowlers
let, their shoulders dip to one side
or the other.
It is often difficult to evaluate
your delivery by yourself and in
this case the answer is to get a
friend to check it out until you get
the habit of standardizing your
delivery. Perhaps you can even
get someone to take some film so
you can study yourself in action,
If you wish to get more fun and
efficiency out of your bowling
sessions, start now to standardize
your delivery.
QUITE COLD
Canada's lowest official tem-
perature was 81 degrees below
zero, recorded at Shag in the
Yukon Territory in February,
1947.
WINTER TRAILS—Snowshoeing enthusiasts cross an ice bridge at Apps' Mill Conserva-
fion Area near Paris. Snowshoeing, hiking and cross-country skiing are rapidly taking a
prominent role in winter use of Grand River Conservation Authority areas.
Cross-country skiing booming in Ontorio
A boon for fitness, fun and fi-
nances, cross-country skiing is
enjoying a major revival in On-
tario.
Once the only form of skiing
there, was, , its enthusiasts in .in-
creasing numbers are striking
out across country on inexpen-
sive wooden skis, wearing flexi-
ble, soccer -type boots, to trek or
race for as many as 30 to 50 miles
a day:
For the novice, the enticements
are many. The first is the price
tag. A cross-country skier can
coml5letely outfit himself for
about $60 and there are now
stores which sell cross-country
gear exclusively:
Because the cross-country en -w
thtisiast can travel at his own
pace, the sport is one that can be
enjoyed at .any age. One particu-
lar. Canadian marathon actually
drew entrants from six to 96.

can walk can' ski cross-country,"
says a coach who organizes pro-
grams of ski -touring. The begin-
ner need only master the easy,
relaxed glide of the crosscountry
movement before heading out
into the bush.
Snowmobiling in
provincial parks
As in the summer season, win-
ter park visitors are expected to
abide by rules laid down in the in-
terests of safety and preservation
of the park environment.
The operation of snowmobiles
is prohibited in some parks but is
permitted in 'specified areas in
many others. These restrictions
are necessary to protect wildlife
and waterfowl habitats, develop-
ed nature trails, extensive tree
and shrub plantings and desig-
nated primitive, natural and his-
toric zones within parks.
Snowmobiling is temporarily
restricted in any park when the
snow depth is less than six inches.
Here is a summary of where you
may snowmobile in parks in 1972-
73 but only on' designated areas
on marked trails: Pinery, Ron-
deau, Earl Rowe, Sibbald, Bal-
sam Lake, Presqu'ile, Outlet
Beach, Bon Echo, Arrowhead,
Mark S. Burnham, Kakabeka,
Cyprus Lake and Killarney.

P .n
Cross-country skiing is just
what the name implies. You sim-
ply take off over flat and sloped
terrain at your leisure, enjoying
nature as you go.
It can be a family picnic outing,
too, winter -style. Says a recent
rec> uit • to the cross-country
boom: "You can take a barbe-
cued chicken, a thermos jug, lay
out a tarpaulin and' you're in
business."
• And racing can be as strenuous
as any sport: Lloyd Percival of
Toronto's Fitness Institute esti-
mates that a cross-country racer
requires more oxygen intake
than any other kind of competi-
tor.
In Ontario, cross-country trails
have. been "developed- in ,some of
the most picturesque skiing
areas, including about 90 com-
mercial establishments and 1001'
winter parks ,throughout every'
region of the .,province. Most of;
these are easily accessible.
A special new facility for cross
country skiers has been develop-;
ed by Formosa Spring Brewery
in conjunction with.the Canadian .
Ski Association at the company's
90 -acre conservation and recrea-
tion area adjoining its plant on
Snowmeiles
getting safer
The Ontario Safety League
says there are encouraging indi-
cations that snowmobilers are
realizing the potential hazards of
these fun -machines. During 1968-
69 Ontario snowmobile season
when less than 100,000 machines
were in use, there were 30 fatal
accidents. Three years later, in
1971-72, when nearly 250,000
snowmobiles were in operation in
Ontario, the same total was re-
ported.

The crimson hunters stand,
A hundred thousand Bob's and

They have butt one ambition,
To see something move and kill

Hotidogging
new ski thing
In the world of skiing there are
many weird and wonderful things
happening. One of these is hot-
dogging says Lorne McPadgen,
ski school director at Talisman.
As opposed to what .we nor-
mally consider competition or ski
. racing, hot-dogging would be
termed free skiing, In a nutshell,
it cofsi<e'7of •,perform'
have now become a USW estab
lished tricks such as flips, gain-
ers, daffeys, outriggers, shoulder
rolls, side flips, side kick, tip
rolls, helicopter jumps and the
like. In other words, doing any-
thing humanly possible while on,
skis.
Hot Dog Camps
This type of skiing is becoming
sopopular, says McFadgen, es-
pecially with younger skiers, that
in addition to the regular run of
race camps, hot-dogging camps
started to spring up last summer.
In North America, particularly
in the United States, there is now
a series of national competitions
with large cash prizes. These
competitions are broken into
categories. The ballet or dance -
type skiing, where the skier per-
forms graceful manoeuvres. The
free -style or real hot-dog skiing,
usually done on an extremely
steep and mogulled hill, Where it
becomes a matter of going all out
on some stu1it. The third and final
category is the air -borne section
where all the jur°nping stunts
previously mentioned are per-
formed—in the air.
GETTING EDUCATION
Canada has about 385 universe
ties and colleges with a fulltime
enrolment of 268,000 students.
at
tnss
35 million Canadians
Sports Participation Canada, a
private agency devoted, to pro'
muting the idea of fitness, 'ion
to motivate 3,500,000 Canadians
to take; up regular' �;uiaar' exercising by
1976, ac(ordirig to the director
general, E;eith McKerracher of
Ottawa. Mr. McKerracher says
that only 400,000 Canadians now
have a regular program of exec.
rising.
He warns,, doctors, physical.
e4ucation instructora and others
c6ncerned with fitness to :prepare
now for the millions of Canadians
who get the message from Sports
Participation Canada that they
are in need of exercise,
Fitness Message
Within a year, Canadians won't
be able to light.. their cigarettes,
put sugar in their tea or coffee or
even have a glass of milk without
being reminded of the need for
exercise.
A major match con pang will
print almost 20 million match
boxes containing fitness mes-
sages. Restaurant sugar pack-
ages will carry millions of sug-
gestions for exercising and a
number of dairies will put the
message on their milk cartons.
To get Canadians away from
their TV sets or off the grand-
stand and onto the playing sur-
face, the motivation may be the
fear. of dying, t. a fun of playing
with others or te hope of a better
sex life, said Mr., McKeerac.
F Test
Ole of bis hopes is to film a 00.
second TV commercial which
will, permit viewer, to take a fit•
news teat in their laving room or
den. If he had his way, be added,
everyone who took the test would,
flunk it.,
,Dr. Gaston Choquette, director,
of the exercise physiology .la«
boratory at the MontrealHeart
institute, said a start hallo
made and the millions Mir,
Kerracher speaks about "will be
knocking on our doors.. Unlel
there are programs and facilities
for them, they will be lost, for-
ever."
Recolmuiendations
During the national conference
on health in December of last
year, Sports Participation
Canada passgd a number of re-
commendations, as well as urg-
ing all levels of goiernment to
continue to support a Marketing
campaign for physical fitness.
Fitness evaluation centres
should be established across the
country to provide information
and the resources needed for fit-
ness programs both for normal
people as well as coronary
patients.
Higher priority should be given
to physical education programs
in schools and both the quality
and quantity of physical activity
