GOD SAVE THE QUEEN STOKES URGES SUMMER GAMES SUPPORT All citizens of Northwestern Ontario should join forces in assisting the city of Thunder Bay in their bid to host the 1973 Canada Summer Games. A united effort will convince both the Federal and and Provincial Governments that this part of Canada can be a uniting force in this country rather than the - frontier or frozen tundra that many believe it to be. Hosting these games could be the impetus needed to bring our area into the mainstream of economic, cul- tural and social activity in this vast country.

TERRACE Bs y Servin The District July 30, 1970 Stricter Controls to Face Snowmobilers this Winter Ontario snowmobilers face stricter. laws controlling *the operation of their machines. New amendments to the Motor- ized Snow Vehicles Act, propos- ed by Transport minister Irwin Haskett in the House on June 19, are aimed at assuring the vehicles will be operated "with minimum hazard both to users and to the public." One of the amendments _is intended to broaden the scope of authority of municipalities, giving them the right to regu- late, govern or prohibit use of snowmobiles within their boun- daries; including parks and pri- vate property. Previously muni- cipalities were only empowered to pass by-laws prohibiting the driving of snowmobiles along or across any highway or part of a highway under their jurisdiction. Under one of the amend- ments, the owner of a snowmo- bile is to be held responsible for any infractions committed by persons using his machine, The owner responsibility is in addi- tion to that of the operator. The government's intention in pro- posing this amendment, said Mr. Haskett, is to "ensure that own- ers of these vehicles will prevent their use by persons who are likely to operate them in a man- ner contrary to the prowisions governing their use." Where operation of snowmo- biles is permitted on provincial highways, the driver must hold a regular operator's or chauf- feur's licence under the High- way Traffic Act to take his ma- chine on these roads, according to the provisions of another new amendment. . Any collisions on or off the highway involving personal in- jury or damage exceeding $200 to property other than that of the owner or driver have to be reported to police under another 'amendment. Outside the legislature, Mr. Haskett said other matters re- lated to the operation of snow- mobiles were also being dealt with . . . "For example, the Attorney General is considering ways in which the Petty Tres- pass Act can be strengthened to resolve the problems of trespass and damage to private property by snow vehicle operators." ® YOU DON'T HAVE TO SCREAM Commenting that "too many advertising messages grab people by the eyeballs without regard to what we have to tell them once we have their attention,' Bill Forbes , editor of Canadian Printer & Publisher, reports this item.
