One party of deer hunters, Minister warns of excess danger in use of all snow vehicles Unless more people accept greater personal responsibility for obeying Ontario's motoriz- ed snow vehicle laws that have been passed for their protection, the accident statistics of last winter could be a foreboding spectre for the season ahead, Minister of Transportation and Communications Charles Mac - Naughton, said this week. Last winter, 38 people were killed in Ontario snowmobile accidents, compared with 26 the previous year and 27 in 1968-69. Injuries last year totalled 598. Motorized snow vehicle reg- istrations rose to 157, 000 last year --40 percent more than the previous year and, for the first time last winter new leg- islation required the full rep- orting of all snowmobile col- lisions, both on and off the highway. Mr. MacNaughton said the statistics "are cold comfort indeed. " I le said the majority of mis- haps could have been avoided. "The principal cause of death and injury was, to put it blunt- ly, the irresponsibility of people who violated the motor- ized snow vehicle laws set our by the Government of Ontario for their protection." Mr. AlacNaughton said mis- haps occurred from snowntob- ilers riding on the wrong side of the road, colliding with parked motor vehicles, failing to obey stop signs and other road warnings, driving too fast for surface conditions, and lack of familiarity with the capabilities and limitations of the machines to manoeuvre and stop. The Minister urged snowntob- Earl Yungblut, Ferd Ilaberer, lake Ilaberer and Leroy O'- Brien have returned home from their expedition to the 11alihurton district.

In addit- ion, he urged novices to take a training course from local snowmobile clubs.

Steer This Way BY LARRY SNIDER a Since 1900, 260 million automobiles have been built, of which almost 39% are on the road today (most of them on the one you want to travel!). It was also around the turn of the century that the term "horse less carriage" was abandoned in favor of "automobile". it Britain's tough new anti -driver -drinking law has caused many women to apply for driver's licenses. Did you know that during 10,000 miles of driving, a set of spark plugs transmits enough electricity to power all the appliances in your home for 15 months? If your brakes squeak when. you apply them, the reason could be an accumulation of dust on the drums; or worse, the linings may be worn down to the bare metal.
