HOUSE LEAGUE SUCCESS
The playing season of the
House League hockey is over and
a successful season it was.
100 boys participated in the-
House League this season with
95e7o completing. 4ge of the
competition was from 8 t0 15
year.
The House League was truly a
• community undertaking with'
players covering an area from
Kinloss Village in the north to
Sheppardton in the south.
There were no playoffs in the
league, each boy and team com-
peting until the very last day.
The winter program was success-
' ful because it had the full co-
operation of all coaches' who
played line against line, accord-
ing to the boys' ability.
The House League stressed par-
ticipation, rather than' winning;
and isn't that what it's •all about?
ABOUT BOYCOTTS
With farm prices running well
up in redemweeks,, farm people
were enjoying a more favourable
period in their unpredictable busi-
ness lives. When farm prices are
good, So business life in our Coln -:
munity is good and •the area'econ-
omy is generally more buoyant:
However, with meat• and, food
prices running on an upward spir-
al, 'the Consumers of our country
are on another boycott ja'g and
despite the fact that most of the
participants state they don't have
a quarrel with the farmer, they
nevertheless are working directly •
against him and his efforts to get
a fair return for dollars invested.
Strang thing about boycotters
and demonstrators is that they •
are a breedof their own, often •
uninformed 'but' willing to protest
for any cause. Many of the boy-
cotterS will have received increas-,
es in wages in their own job or
husband's job in the past year,
which they expect and which is
probably justified.
But these ,same people "can't
see the forest for the trees" when
it comes to cost increases in the
food industry.
We don't approve the boycotts,
be' they by farmers, or consumers,
because in most cases the demon-
stiators are not fully awareof the
many reasons behind the
situations they .are boycotting.
Each particular industry in this'
country has prOblems which,take
more than a picket line and a pro ,
test sign to solve.

UNENVIABLE POSITION..
Snowmobile accident fatalities
in Ontario up to the end of Jan-
uary numbered 31.
.28 of these accidents occurred
On ice covered lakes or.rivers
and public thoroughfares:
While these figures ate of pub-
lic concern, they alSo point out,
a very interesting and important
fact.
Only 3 snowmobilers lost their
lives while operating under.
reasonable risk conditions.
' The Ontario SafetyLeague
says "Snowmobiling has the unen-
viable position of having the
highest,fatality rate of 'any out-
door recreation activity in Ont-
ario. There..is no magie.4bout
a snowmobile. It is not amPhib7
ions nor can ircoinpete with
motor vehicles designed, for pub-
lit thorOughfare travel; A snow-
mobile is a. Motorized vehicle
designed for travel on snow.
Let's keep it there."
