Police ' Chief . Fred Minshall issued a
trvart`iing to owners of sn.owmabills-with

the recent snow falls in the" area, the ,
snowmobiles have been hitting the local
streets en masse and it would perhaps not
be amiss tot issue a word of caution again
at this time.
In the past two' weeks there ,Lys -been
Dile fatal accident in the area and one
accident; in which a local' youth was
seriously,•injured, both cases involving
' snowmobiles. So far there •has,been no
serious accident reported. in 'the town of
Qoderich itself but the,danger• is there and
it is very real.
The snowmobile Is a machine ' that
brings pleasure 'to many throughout 'the
winter months and it is one of the' best
Ways, apart from skiing, to help pass the
long winter months. Nobody would. be
spoilsport enough to ban the use of them
completely, but al users should be made
aware of the dangers involved with the use
ofemthese machines and act accordingly.
Now that' -school is back in there is an
:►ladded danger to daytime ' users,
,r

h•
•
- especially thosewho.get in a rideor two
around the block. before supper. Children
are -notorious for climbing anything new.
This includes the piles of show that are at
present'edging the streets of the town.
They use these piles .for slides' and
snowhouses and all manner of things and
they have a frightening habit of dodging
but of driveways ,without bothering to
look first. This is dangerous enough with
cars on 'the street's, but the snowmobile is
much , d.ower and the line •of, sight that
much• more obscurred by the heaps. Some
users argue the snowmobile is much-Safer
becauseof its tracks' and believe'they will
nqt skid. This is a fallacy. A young"girt
was killed -recently when the snowmobile
on which she was riding skidded. and she
was thrown under the wheels of a car.
These motorized sleds are controlled
by the same rules of the road as cars etc.,
..and the drivers should abide by these
rules: They are made • for safety's sake:
,-r Nevertheless, there are still users``who
persist in driving along sidewalks rather
than orrthe roads.

THE Hd'NOURED NAME, OF LI•ZARS
(By W.14. Johnston of the London Free Press) .

SWhen Mary Tof Guise, in the 16th century, went from
France .to Scotland to become the bride of King James V,
there.. was, among her attendants, des. Laseures, who
4erwards was enriched by "the bestowal -of atlestate.,near
Joslyn. The name, inn time''b'ecame de .Lizars:" I"n the fields of.
art, literature, military achievement and law, members - of ,
;the 'family have -won Amhonottrablean name for themselves:
On the maternal side of the house we find such names as
Colquhoun, ::Campbell; 'McIntyre and Home. The' last
named, "Bonnie Peggy Home", was the mother of Daniel
Lizars and Mrs.` Armstrong' who about 1833 came to
Goderich in search of fame, fortune .and adventure -.--
in Scotland their ,imagination was fired in favour of
the new land by stories told by ah dncle and an' aunt who .
made a visit -to --Canada, including the Great -Lakes region.
Henry. Was the first to decide upon trying for an 'estate" on
the shore of Lake Huron, on. which might be found deer;
wild cattle, wild. horses and later, a mansion. Such were his
dreams. • , • ' '1 :.
Mrs -Armstrong, her husband and -children followed.
-- Then" Daniel Lizars, having collected all his capital, set sail
I' -
for this land, accompanied by his -mother, wife and seven'
children. After six weeks on the ocean they landed it New
York: whence -by. way of canal and lake route they found
themselves stranded One -Sunday morning on the sand bar
at the entrance to Goderich Harbor. Cold and wet after 'a
stormy voyage from Detroit it took all 'their Scotch grit to
be happy and hopeful.'
