-Snowniobiling 1$ no long or
a craze but a way of life In
Ontario where in just six years
9.‘ Its popularity has grown 30-fold
- - from about 5,000 vehicle
owners in March 1965 to 160,661
last winter,
Moreover, in a study just
completed by the Travel Research
branch of the Department of
Tourism and Information cover-
ving the 1969/70 season, it was
indicated that an average of 3,4
pmsons per family indulged in
We pastime, bringing to roughly
340,000 the number of devotees
during that period.
Snowmobiling is big business
now and the provincial economy
" 13 feeling its explosive impact,
with even greater gains predic-
ted for this upcoming season.
On the average, the Ontario
• snowmobller pays about $1,200
for his vehicle and other equip-
ment. Collectively they spend
II $12.7 millions on vehicle oper-
ation, Which includes licenses,
gas oil, repairs and storage.
They also spend $200,000 on
park and :club entrance fees,
$500,000 for commercial accom-
modation, $1,100,000 for meals
on snowmobile safaris, and
$800,000 on other sundry expen-
* ses, such as suitable outdoor
attire.
It all fits into the pattern
of the Department's current aim
to , make the province a four-
season tourist destination. Since
the, advent of snowmobiling many
Ontari o resort operators keep
their establishments open all
winter which, in turn, has created
more needed winter lobs in rural
areas.
Respondents in the survey,
78.5 per cent indicated snowmo-
biting for pleasure was their main
reason for buying a snow vehicle.
About 15.2 ,_per cent of res-
pondents want them for hunting,
ice fishing, transportation to ski
areas, snowmobile , racing, and
other recreational activities.
Low on the snowmobile totem
pole were those who buy vehicles
• for non-recreational purposes,
such as transportation into
formidable areas - - just 6.3 per
cent. , ,
Executive business types own
about 11-per cent of Ontario snow
vehicles, 9 per cent are owned by
professional' people. And, sur-
orisingly, only 4 per cent of
farmers in thi s province own
a snowmobile.
Reflected in' the study, too,
are the detriments of• snowmo-
biting. In the 1970/71 season
some-40 persons in Ontario werev
fatally injured in 39 snowmobile
mishaps.
Noise Is another problem. So
is destruction of property And,
what is worrying Lands and
Forests officials at. the moment,
is the snowmobile's widespread
disturbanceton wildlife — like
chasing down deer until they drop
dead from exhaustion.
FOR GOOD EGG HATCHABLT,,ITY
CHICKENS SHOULD BE LEAN
Humans aren't the only ones
with weight problems. Poultry
used for breeding purposes can
also be too fat, says D. G. Luck-
ham, poultry specialist, at the
Ridgetown College of Agricul-
tural Technology.
Improved fertility and hatch-
ability of eggs have been obseryed
in studies at the College when
cockerels and pullets have been
grown together in the same pen
and on a restricted feeding pro -
gram. Most eggs for hatching
are paid for on the basis of how
well they hatch. Therefore, says
Mr. Luckham, fertility and hatch-
ability are economic considerat-
ions for the breeder flock owner.
Geneticists have developed
chickens 'which grow very fast
and put on fat or "finish" at an
early age' to satisfy consumer
markets for broiler chickens.
Nutritionists- have been develop-
ing restricted feedings programs
for broiler breeder stock which
will slow growth, delay sexual
maturity, and produce lean pul-
lets. The result is -a chicken
which will lay eggs at a fairly,
high rate over a long production
period. Studies at the College
indicate the growing program for
the male is just as important iS
for the female, says Mr.
Luekham.
Restricted feeding programs
for gtowing pullets and cockerels
intended for egg production allow
sufficient nutrients for the growth
and development of the bird.How-
ever, the program does not allow
excess' feed which would be used
for the production of body fat.
Extra fat on any animal or bird
is not good -for breeding. In
chickens, it appears to inter-
fere with fertility.
In a recent test at Ridge-
town, a slight limitation of
feed intake in the laying pen
resulted in improved fertility
and hatchability of the eggs. Im-
proved fertility in the males
appears to be the reason. How-
ever, says Mr. Luckham,, a
slight feed limitation' also does
the pullets no harm, since they
are not as fat and lay more
eggs over a long period of time.

Everything goes in the mouth when a baby is cutting teeth,
and it's no exception with year-old Ronny.' This chubby, big
boy has brown eyes, black curly hair and brown skin inherited
from his Jamaican ancestors (all black except for one white
great grandparent).
Kenny is a bright, alert baby, at least average in ability.
He's a fast crawler and now is beginning ,to walk, though he
still feels he needs to hold on to something. He has a good
appetite and eats whatever is offered to him. . '
This little fellow has a happy disposition and is even
amiable about going to bed.' He is used to children of all ages
and obviously enjoys their company. Ronny is quite a chatty
•, youngster, though most of what he says is not in any known
language. He loves music which sets him rocking back and
forth.
Ronny will be a splendid addition to a family wanting a
•bright, happy son. To inquire about adopting Ronny please
write to Today's Child, Box 888, Station K., Toronto. For
general adoption information, ask your Children's Aid Society.
