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. _ THE WAYI.,, e. Timothy Narrow, who loved to hunt, ,- Was angered by restriction.
