letting the fact that it is winter
deter them from planning for this
year's fall fair. They, are at work
now in preparation for it.
Arrangements have already been
made for a dance in July when the

Safe snowmobiling depends
upon the operator's knowledge of
how and where to use his machine
with a minimum of accident risk.
For example, most of the fatal
snowmobile accidents in Ont ario
occur on public thoroughfares and
ice covered lakes and rivers.
There is the important matter
of a snowrnobiler's legal
responsibilities, a knowledge of
provincial and municipal laws and
requiring insurance coverage.
A snowmobile, just like an
automobile, must be in good
mechanical condition for safe
operation.
These are a few of the
important facts about
snowmobiling which are
presented and discussed at the
Ontario Snowmobile Distributors
Associationdriver Snowmobile
Clinics currently being conducted
in communities throughout
Ontario.
The snowmobile is a motorized
vehicle designee to travel on
snow. It is uniqq:, the only one of
its kind. In its natural habitat with
even a modicum of common sense
on the part of the operator, it has
proven to be a safe and efficient
means of travel.
Take the snowmobile away
from snow to the high hazards of
hard-packed, icy roads and the
proximity of motor vehicle traffic,
ice covered lakes and streams or a
railroad right of way and the
picture changes 'drastically.
Ontario Safety League statistics
prove this statement.
To the League's knowledge,
SIXTEEN fatal snowmobile
accidents occurred in Ontario
during November and December,
of the current season. TEN
snowmobilers met their death oh
public thoroughfares in collision
with motor vehicles or fixed
objects such as trees and rocks
when their machines went out of
control. FIVE snowmobilers
drowned when they broke
through the unsafe ice on lakes
and streams. The SIXTEENTH
snowmobiler was unable to stop
in time to avoid smashing into the
side of a moving train.
Thirteen of these fatal
accidents occurred during the
hours of darkness.
In the opinion of the Ontario
Safety League, not* one of the
sixteen accidents was legitimate,
not one of them occurred on
snow, the safe and natural
habitat of the snowmobile.
The Ontario Safety League
reviewed causes of 10 serious
tobogganing accidents in Toronto
over the last 2 years and has just
issued seven "never-never" rules
of safe tobogganing.
Earlier the League distributed
a poster on Winter Sports and
Traffic to elementary schools in
Ontario. Stressed were the
dangers of skating, skiing,
tobogganing and playing hockey
near or on streets and highways.
A teacher's guide gave a few
hints for safe tobogganing and
winter fun as well. In view of the
repent rash of tobogganing
accidents, parents and teachers
are now asked to read the
following rules carefully to
youngsters and to keep them in
mind for themselves:
Never Venture on. Dangerous,
Unknown Slopes
Avoid hills that lead on to the
roadway, Hard-packed icy snow is
impossible to . steer on. Always
plan each new toboggan run,
carefully checking for suspicious
bumps, snow-covered ditches,
logs, or trees, fences and other
obstacles.
Never Climb
Where Others Slide
Stay clear of the downhill path.
Two-way traffic is not for
tobogganing.
Never Lay Down On a Toboggan
Lying feet first on a toboggan
gets you looking at the Sky when
tyou should be looking straight
ahead. Lying head first increases
your chances of head injury. The
curved front end .also impedes
your vision to some extent.
Get a Firm Grip But Never Tie
Yourself Down
Never place your feet inside the
toboggan in such a way that could
trap you in an emergency. Grip
the provided ropes or straps but
never wind them around you.
Never Rush Downhill ,
Behind Another Sledder
Give yourself time and a good
distance so as to avoid colliding
with those less experienced who
may fall or overturn ahead of you.
Never Slide With Infants
Very ' young children should
toboggan under adult
supervision.
