great experience
If you're 1'1 and love the great outdoors —
or just want a chance to experience it — it's
time to apply to become a Junior Ranger

summer, junior rangers will learn about
everything from canoeing to first aid. The
JRs earn a basic wage of $15 a day, six .days
a week, plus free room and board and a sub-
sidy for travel costs.
To be eligible for one of the 900 positions
available, students born between August 1,
1971 and December 31, 1972 must apply to
the Ministry of Natural Resources by March

lect (416) 965-1258, or from your local MNR

Weather playing havoc
with snowmobiling conditions
Twenty snowtnobilers have been killed in
Ontario so far this winter — the same
number killed during the entire 1987/88
season.
.By this time last year, 15 persons had lost
their lives in snowmobile .accidents.
• . Unpredictable weather patterns have
created havoc with anowmobiling condi-
tions. Frequent thawing and refreezing of
lakes have resulted in unstable surfaces.
Riders are advised to check with local
:residents :about the thickness of the ice
:before venturing out -on lakes, or better yet,
to avoid riding on. lakes . altogether.
Some•ridersare even attempting to jump
,open ;water an their snow machines.
"Those Who ,do this ,are playing with their
lives,":said Prov. Const. Dennis Tappenden
of.4Sudbury OPP. "If someonenwere to fall in
the .water, considering the present
,the ',water,
would probably
,haveaaboutfour -minutes to live."
-De . majority ;of ,accidents are .due to
ialeohol consumption :and excess speed. The
,tapeed;,limit ;on, most. trails :Is .50 rkm/h, ,and
