Ar memo 111 he not Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 16 Hayfield Street Barrie Ontario William Telfer General Manager McPherson Managing Editor MONDAY JANUARY PAGE gnaw2 Amadeus Walls Publisher Snowmobiles Should Be Driven With Much Care There have been numerous cases of broken bones handled by hospitals In the Ileaford incident an apple grower was touring his orchards when the vehicle struck snow bank and he was tossed off Suffering dislocated hip he lay three hours in near zero wea ther before his cries for help were heard Snowmobiles are used for crosscoun try travel often on hills which are quite stee and irregular The white snow ten to level the land to the vision and travelling at good rate of speed operatorsmay easily be taken by sur prise when they come to sudden dip or steep snow bank The vehicles are often capable of high rate of speed particularly travelling downhill The fact that it is winter adds great ly torthe hazards in that an accident can leave one at the mercy of the bitter cold They should not be operated at high speeds unless on level areas well known to the operator Certalnly they should be used reasonably in hill coun try Unless every care is takenI it is unwise to operate such vehicles alone The death of young woman on Toronto golf course when rented snowmobile she was operating ran iiilo tree going at high rate of speed and what could have been death by freezing in the Meaford area when an orchardist was thrown from like veh icle point out the hazards of one of Canadas newest sports Actually there have been four deaths reported by the Ontario Safety League since the craze began several years ago While these motorized toboggans of fer great deal of pleasure to those who enjoy the Winter outofdoors they take considerable skill to operate and can be extremely hazardous The young Toronto woman quite apparently lost control of the vehicle whensha came over the top of steep incline at very fast rate of speed She and her husband and another couple had rented the snowmobile and probably none of them had had much experience in its operation The victim was prac tising alone at the time of the accident Flaws In Forecasting scientific advances for forecasting can not be exploited The world organization wants about 100 merchant ships on wellplaced routes to be equipped to take it perair observations As well as the ips it wants system of unmanned instru mentcarrying buoys to help fill the data gaps at sea and network of weather satellites Weather is an important factor in many areas of life in every part of the world and being able to predict it ac curater for relatively small geographic areas is becoming increasingly import ant to an increasing number of people The wcathermens target within the next decade is to be able to predict wea ther anywhere in the world as accurate ly for twoweek period as can be done now for 48 to thour period Once the observation gapshave been filled in even longer forecasts may be possible We are quick to fault our weather forecasters when they are wrong yet at the same time we should realize were fortunate to have them On world wide basis only 20 per cent has ade quaie weather coverage Until the ob servation network can be improved more reliable forecasts are not possible It is to correct world deficiencies that the United Nations World Meteorolog ical Organization directs its attention it has longaterm program aimed at setting up global weatherobserving system also plans to establish fast data links to speed observations to us ers And speed of course is essential According to Dr Joseph Smagorin sky head of the US Environmental ci Services Administration oceans are particularly had problem They represent about 70 per cent of the earth that is poorly covered

framework of the law and who are penalised by taxes for doing so While we work to unbook our teenagers from cigarettes and alcohol we are intimidated by civil liberties groups who would legolise mariiuana pot and LSD and remove all censor ship fram pornography and ob scene literature We tremble lest the rights of the nority be usurped while sacr the rights of the majority This being the age of realism then would suggest that we get back to the realism gt call ln spade spade be it sui ny Parnrcn menouou orrnwn From now on ex pansion of Canadas social secu rity system will have to be made within our economic re sources said Prime Minister Lester Pearson in New Years inlorvlew That statement will bring comfort to every taxpayer which means to every Canadian who cams or spend dollar But it has not caused single raised eyebrow on Parliament Hill where it has long been ob vious to everyone except Lester Imahlslorian Pearson that one did not need to been econo mist to recognize that his gov ernment has been spending af fluent Canada into bankruptcy Every reader of Charles Dicks ens is familiar with the classic epigram on economics put into the mouth of Mr Micawhcr which will paraphrase using our currency Annual income $5000 annual expenditure $4 eso result happiness Annual in come 55000 annual expenditure $5050 result misery OTTiiWilkEPoRT Government Spending Canada Into Misery missed if that Is what they think The provincial ptemlEll are virtually unanimous in opposing lhe introduction of medicare in the form planned and on the date proposed by Ottawahul if Ottawa roceeds with It lla wa will lackmatl them into participating otherwise their citizens will be faxed to pay for medicare in those provinces which do participate As nowu planned it would cost In esth maled 5161 extra taxes in the first yeararid more later for the average taxpayer ounnno TANDS FIRM Quebecs premeiflDon John son is the only premier to data who has taken the positive stand that his province cannot afford medicare now has more urgent uses for such huge sums and in any case he will not per mit his citizens to be faxed to subsldLse medicare ln gt other provinces Ontario is already loud in protest against medl care and its premier John harts shoidd make similar nnemxivocal statement Then Pearson medicare would be iH Canadian Explbrersl loaded the ship wlihfurs and ia uace Tbernystery was not The Pearson search for votes atfederal elections has led him to overspend his governments income in every year when he has been prime minister And this dupito the fact that every year his government has collect ed in taxes more than any pre vinus government and double the average which the previous Liberal government led by Uncle Louie St Laurent col lected during the past decade MISEEY Arno wean So Canada has had Micawberg isb misery despite the affluence of our longest boom So too Ca in will continue to suffer killed stone dead Then what In the opinion of the huge majority of MP5 and senators the whole principle of social welfare should be re visedr State handouts as Can servalive leader George Drew insisted in the House of Com mons two decades ago should never be on universal and compulsory basis theyshould be giyen only to those in need and nobody should be compelled to participate in any undian nating hureacratlc plan Today in Ontario reported 95 per cent of the people are oh ready adequately covered by medical plansi this effective system should not be scrapped to foreseveryoneto adopt plan to serve the needs of the small minority Medicare is
