Mr. ° told the snowmobilers tIlit a committee composed of Wil#, LeRoy Jackson and, Strelch had been set up earlier to investigate snowmobile legislation in the province and what effect, if any, proposed changes may mean to snowmob- iling in the coming years. The chairman gave a brief run down of the need and purpose of having a snowmobile association in the area. Those needs run the gamut from self -policing to establishing proper trails.

The Natural Resources repre- sentative pre-sentative said that the idea having a snowmobile associati was indeed a good one. Mr. J added that the Ministry would more than happy to provide a information and help it could f the new ent out was co-operation with land- Pinn owners in the region which is n- compulsory. Mr. Cowden said that tres- passing and safety are two more of major problems facing the on average snowmobile club and ones again stressed the need for or - be ganized clubs to act for snow- ily mobilers. He noted that there are or 300,000 snowmobilers in Ontario but only 15 per cent of them W belong to a club. d The speaker finished by saying re- that a well prepared and respon- sible association or club would es create a much improved public image for snowmobiling in the n future, and that's to its benefit. At this point it was officially PeT-., suggested by Mr. Ritchie that a arlo. motion be made to form a snow - r mobile association for Wingham s and Area. Borden Jenkins made t the motion and Wayne Pletch - seconded it. The motion was un- animously carried. t Election for the executive were • then conducted. After the voting e ' was finished Don Carter was de - o Glared president of the associ- - ation, Murray McLennan will be e vice president, Phyllis Johnston - was voted secretary and Tom Robinson will take the office of - treasurer. Three committee chairmen were also elected. They are Neil Edgar, Reg O'Hagan, and Murray Vincent. Mr. Ritchie then closed the meeting by thanking all those association. Mr. McKittrick told the ne group that his detachment ha received no official notice garding changes in snowmobile regulations, but, if chang should come to his attention he said he would be willing to retur to a later meeting and explain any new laws governing the ope of snow vehicles in Ont ' The Snow Plan Co-ordinato briefly explained what his job i and told the snowmobilers tha although he worked for Bom battier, that in no way affected his other job. He commented tha he is just an avid snowmobiles Mr. Cowden suggested to th audience that most people wh criticize snowmobilers are una ware of the facts surrounding th sport and he compared the ad vent of the first automobiles and the critcism they drew with pre sent day snowmobiling. The speaker said that in the snowbelts of the northern U.S. and Canada there approximately 5 million machines and an esti- mated $40 billion a year is spent on winter recreation. He added that the last figure is at least two years old but the amount certain- ly hasn't gone down. The co-ordinator emphasized that snowmobiling is a good winter sport if conducted pro- perly and before anything else takes place there must be some kind of organization. He outlined some problem areas the new association would have to deal with: environmental protection, wildlife protection and the pro- tection of fields bearing winter crops. In order to solve these pro- blems he stressed that the association should have well groomed and well laid out trails and people must be kept on those trails.
