Short Shots
...One encouraging note for the
-Sifto cause is the fact that all
eight of their goals in the two
games were scored by players
wlio will be returning next year.
With many of ,this year's young •
team having a year's ekperience
behind them now, prospects for
next year are already brighter. •
...This, Friday's contest here will
be a battle,of the "also rans" of
the Central Junior "B",,League.
:The try's Lincoln, tike -the
Siftos, were forced to rebuild
after losing the bulk of last
year's team. The two teams who
met in the League finals fast year
will be on the sidelines this year
when playoff time arrives. In
four rr eetings between the Siftos
and Lincs this season, the Siftos
hold two victories and a tie.
...Refeiree-in-chief of the O.H.A.;
Frank Slota, handled the game
here last Friday in his usual
masterful manner. It was the
first appearance on Goderich ice
for 'Frank since he changed his
nickname from "chrome -dome"
to "furry Frank".
Snowmobiles
Healthy
Recre4tion,
The advent of motorized
snow vehicles, commonly
known asp, snowmobiles,
ski-doos, snow cruisers, etc.,
is responsible for thousands of
people getting out into the
healthy atmosphere of Ontario
resort country during the
winter months. Snowmobiling
is becoming 'more and more .a
family recreation. It is a
comnron sight to see an
automobile obviously loaded
with a family headed • for
resort country and hauling a
pair of snowmobiles. This is a
good aspect of this growing
sport. Another great benefit is
the economic impact on the
resort areas. •
The Ontario Safety. League
is keenly concerned that
snowmobiling . 'continues to
develop in a good, healthy
way: The devotees of this
sport have the answer in •their
own hands. The "Ontario.
Government' has enacted
legislation covering the
operation- of ----snowmobiles,
which is" sensible and not
inhibiting to the gro\vth of
this ' winter recreation in .the
opinion of League personnel.
-'hese , new laws are being
widely , ' publicized and
interpreted 'for the benefit of
snowmobile operators. It • is
the responsibility of owners
and operators to 'know their
legal - rights and lilnitations',
and operate their machines
sensibly and within the law.
A • few stupid snowmobile
drivers can give the sport a
black eye and spoil it for
thousands. _

Canadians, unlike Scandina-
vians, don't commit suicide
during the long, cold,• dark
winter months. At least not
more than the usual number.
Instead, they just half -kill
themselves- by attending a win-
ter carnival. This makes them
feel so rotten for the following
week that they're so glad to be
alive again that they wouldn't
even contemplate suicide. •

In another country, she'd be
married, with at least one kid.
In Canada, she's just a baby,
-with years of education ahead
of her before she could even
think of marriage, let -alone
babies.
It- will all sort out, but 1
think the winter carnival is a
great institution. When it's all
over, there are husbands look-
ing. for wives and vice versa.
There are people who have
gone through the ice in a Ski=
doo and saved their lives only
by a hastyapplication of toddy
to the tummy.
,The winter carnival has -
something for everybody. For
the kids, there is the extite-
• ment and the colour and the
chance of -being run over by a
snowmobile. For the swinging
set, there are wild rides
through the' woods, and the
parties, and ' the breaking: of
bones -on the ski hill. For the
middle-aged, there is' curling
and companionship 'anti re-
membering tie good ,old days
before those noisy . damned
snowmobiles were invented.
Long live the winter carni-
val. But let's' spread it out a
little. 'Forty-eight hours of kiss-
ing -and dancing and drinking
brings even a sturdy Canadian .4
-to his knees.- See you at the
carnival. °
