The Ontario Safety League quotes an eminent. authority 'on
physical fitness and the skier, Dr. .Donald McKay:
"A skier who lacks fitness is accident prone. Rarely does a
fit skier get hurt. The tissues of the 'physically fit skier are
tough and will stretch rather than tear. Bones and joints must be
protected by strong muscles and resilient ligaments." •
These are 'the words' of a medical doctor who has had ye'aars
of experience attending accident•Qvictims from the ski hills. The
Canadian Ski Patrol has proven the validity 4! Dr. McKav's`
reaeareh On .the cause of actual skiing accidents.. If you
douFf about'yuur pnyslcal fitness, the Ontario Safety
League advises a physical check-up with your doctor.
You should also take his advice on a cot>lrse of eox ircises before
taking to the slopes. It could mean the. difference between a
winter of healthy recreation or a lengthy period of immobility.
As in any other sport, a few lessonsfrom a, qualified instructor,
will de wonders for the skiing novice. The pntario Safety League
claims this- is the best way to learn 'the proper use of your equip.
went.
The novice skier also learns how to ski under control at all
times and the courteous approach: to others on. the slopes.
And follow the advice that comes from the Canadian Ski Patrol
people: when you get sloppy or feel awkard and are falling too often,
tale either a coffee break or another lesson. -
Good equipment is vital to skiing fun and safety..It isnot nec-
essary to buy the most expensive clothing to enjoy this healthy
recreation but money spent on good quality boots, bindings,
skis and poles will bring big rewards in improved performance
and safety.
If you are a beginner, the Ontario Safety League suggests°
asking the advice of ,,experienced skiers or your ski instructor
about °equipment. It is also important to patronize reputable
stores where the «sales people are skiers and buy only well-
known, brand names.
While we are on outdoor theme, it might be a good idea to
reprint the "Ten Commandments of SnowmobileSafety" published
by the Ontario Safety League:
Driving instruction is required for the safe operation of a
snowmobile.
Treat a .snowmobile with the respect and `care due any power.
driven vehicle, and recognize the limitations of your ability to
operate it.
Study carefully the operating manual supplied by the mann-
facturer of the snowmobile .you are using.
Knew your legal status regarding licencing, traffic regulations
and responsibilities pertaining to public liability and property
damage when operating or trailering a snowmobile.
Avoid public thoroughfares and when necessary cross at right
angles using extreme caution.
Do not operate a snowmobile on frozen lakes or rivers without
first checking ice thickness and having an intimate knowledge
of water currents.
Wear appropriate, warm, windproof clothing; insulated footwear
and mitts, tdque with attached face mask; shatterproof,. tinted
goggles and safety helmet.
For casual snowmobiling within reach of assistance, carry
spare drive -belt and spark plugs with tools for installation.
For distant safari 'operation carry the following equipment: -
snowshoes, emergency fuel, map and compass, axe,. knife,
waterproofed. -matches, mess kit, ,emergency rations, first aid
kit, waterproof shelter and survival blanket.
Do not attempt distant safaris without an experiencedperson
in charge; and use the "buddy system", two snowmobiles or
more.

The highly touted St. Thomas
OHA western -division Junior B
club was easily contained by the
local, central division Junior B
team as the Siftos suppressed
the Berens 7-4 in an OHA
terlocking game Friday night
at Goderich Memorial Arena.
Mayo Paquette again earned
"Signal -Star" honours for
boosting the, Siftos to victory
with a personal, five -goal con
tribution, Siftos' defenceman
Murray Henderson, was -chosen
as • the second star of the game
for his excellent work behind
the blue -lines.
Jim McMaster, of the St.
,Thomas Barons, was picked
as the third star. •
Paquette put the Siltos on the
scoreboard only 11 seconds after
the opening faceoff. The speedy
little centre from Ansonville
eluded the Barons' defencemen
and got off a snappy wrist shot
from about 20 -feet out which
had theSt. Thomas goalie beaten
all the way.
The Colquhotun-Scott Free-
man line combined to produce
a second goal at the 2:18 mark.
Cblquhoun was the marksman
while Scott and Freeman drew
assists.
MacAuley kept the Barons in
the game when he scored, as.
sisted by Sm'bert and Schwindt
at 3:18.
Excitement mounted as St.
Thomas tied the score 2-2 less
than a minute later. Root was
credited with the tying goal.
Goderich was again given the
lead, which they never relin-
quished throughout the rest of
the game, when Paquette scored
his second goal, assisted by
Williams.
The "K -Line", of Bell, Cup.
ler and O'Brien produced God.
erich's fourth goal mid -way
through the first period.'
Bell, the burly pivot man on
this line, got set for hid shot
just within the St. ThomaE blue.
line. Despite a solid check from
a Barons' defenceman, Bell
launched an accurate slap shot
wh.icli found a corner of the
St. Thomas net.
Paquette entered the lime-
light again late in the first
period. He extended his scor.
ing spree by shooting two con-
secutive goals. His third goal
at the 14:33 mark, proved to be
the winning marker for God-
erich. Paquette's fourth goal,
which camer,at 17:45, gave the
Siftos additional breathing
room.
The pace of the game slowed
considerably in the second
frame as both teams.Iost their
opening period drives.
Paquette, however, always an
opportunist, found an opening in
the St. Thomas defences early
