The "flu!' bug has caught up
with quite a few in the area.
Earl Dunn was admitted to
Listowel Memorial Hospital on
Friday.
The Ministry of Transportation
and Communications has recently
amended the regulations
governing the operation of
motorized snow vehicles in
Ontario.
The amendments cover such
areas as registration, insurance,
speed limits, reporting of'
collisions, wearing of helmets and
obtaining written permission
from the land owner in order to
drive on his property.
The changes that will apply to
the owners and operators of
snowmobiles this season are:
--On the sale of a new vehicle
the dealer must register the
vehicle with the Ministry and pay
the annual licence fee. (In the
case of a machine used
exclusively on the private
property of the owner of the
machine application may be made
for a refund)
--As well as being prohibited
from driving on the roadway of a
King's Highway you are now also
prohibited from driving on the
shoulder.
--Carrying of proof of insurance
is now required when using
public trails as well as on a
highway.
--If a snowmobile is involved in
a collision on or off the highway
...including private property ...
which results in personal injury to
any person or in damage to
property including that of the
owner of the
snowmobile exceeding $100., the
operator shall report the collision
to the police as soon as possible.
--Speed limits have been set for
the operation of motorized snow
vehicles when being driven on a
highway, upon any public tra
or in any public park or exhibition
grounds.
--Under the new legislation, a
"public trail" is defined as any
motorized snow vehicle trail
established and maintained in
whole or in part by public funds.
--Where the speed limit on a
road is 30 miles per hour or less,
no snow vehicle may be driven at
a greater speed than 15 miles per
hour. This speed limit applies in
any public park or exhibition

Hospital following knee surgery.
grounds.
--If the highway speed limit is
greater than 30 miles per hour,
the maximum speed permitted for
snow vehicle operation is 30 miles
per hour. This ,iS also the
maximum speed permitted on any
public trail.
--Municipal by-laws may vary
speed limits ,provided signs are
erected. Municipalities have the
right to pass by-laws regulating,
governing or prohibiting the
operation of snowmobiles
anywhere within their
boundaries, on or off the
highway.
• --The operator of a snowmobile
driving on private property is
required, to stop and give his
correct name and address at the
request of the owner or occupier
of the property.
--The towing of a cutter,
toboggan or :sled is not permitted
on a roadway or shoulder except
to cross at an angle of
approximately 90 degrees.
Towing is not permitted
anywhere, except by means of a
rigid tow bar.
--Helmets must now be worn by
all snowmobile operators,
passengers and - persons being
towed by a snowmobile, when on
the roadway, shoulder or a public
trail. Helmets must comply with
standards established for
motorcycle helmets.
--All snowmobile operators
must obtain written permission
from the owner or occupier of
land in order to drive on the
property. Where an owner gives
permission to a club, the
permission extends to all
members of the club. Trespassing
on private land while operating
snowmobile is an offence carrying
a fine of up to $500.
The new legislation contains
authority for additional control
and regulation which will not
come into effect until next season.
These relate to identification of
the vehicle as well as driver
licensing and age limits. A
further announcement will be
made on these subjects at a later
date.
"Everlasting bouquets, made
from the dried flowers of annual
and perennial plants, can do
much to brighten the long, dark
winter days ahead," says Ontario
Ministry of Agriculture and Food
horticulturist R.A.Fleming.
"Daisies, calendu las,
marigolds and cosmos are best
dried in silica gel. This substance,
which resembles coarse white
sand and is extremely absorbent,
is reusable. It can be purchased at
many hobby and garden
centers."
Strawflowers and statice, the
so-called everlastings, are the
easiest flowers to preserve
because they can be air dried.
Pick them at the peak of bloom
and dry them slowly in a warm,
dry, shaded place. Tie the stems
together loosely and hand them
for a line to ensure good air
circulation, rapid, even drying,
and maximum color retention.
