RECREATION TIPS Snowmobile accidents and fatalities continue to pile up in Ontario. Eight more deaths have occured in the past two weeks since the last report on this subject was made public by the Ontario Safety League. Six of these fatalities occurred while snowmobiles were being operated on public thoroughfares, one happening af night during off-highway operation, and the remaining fatality being a drowning. To the League's knowledge the total number of snowmobile deaths in Ontario dur- ing the current season is now up to twenty-nine. An estimate of non-fatal accidents while operating snow- mobiles would be close to 300 for the current season. The above figures represent known fatal accidents and the non-fatal accident figure is estimated. The latter may be low as the accepted ratio of fatal to non-fatal accidents is 1 to 29. If this theory held true for snow- mobiling, the number of non-fatal accidents would be in the area of eight or nine hundred. This may well be true as the vast majority of snowmobjle accidents are not reported. Pulp and paper mills in Canada use a quarter of the consumption of electricity in Canada and one-third of the power*used by. all industry.
