We would like to defend l our spbrt. Many pictures could i have been chosen other than snow - mobiles, such as the hundreds of vacationers travelling to warmer r--â€"-â€"siéaates for the winter. They are not only consuming energy (gas) but are also spending their money in another country. We would like to stress that we don't mean to single out these persons, but feel we have to defend our sport. We realize, of course, our sport does consume more energy than cross country skis and snow shoes, but would like to also point out the difference in mon- ies being spent on this sport as compared to the less consuming energy sports. Snowmobilers spend millions of dollars every year in Ontario alone, paying taxes on every single item they buy. Regâ€" istration fees alone amounted to $2,278,000. in 1977. Snowmobil- ing creates vast employment and is enticing more and more tour- ists to spend their winter holi- days here. Organized clubs are helping to make this sport more respectable. Snowmobi ers are constantly striving to better public relations, and that is why we felt we had to answer the pic- ture we saw in the last issue of the Lantern. THE LAKELAND PLAYERS:(l. to r.) Ted Landon, Lorraine Colford,Ross Patterson, Marlene Thake,Bev Patterson,June Boston,Mavis Rogers, Thomas Scovil, and Graham Baldwin. Linda Pyné, R.R.R. Secretary The Lantern's Reply Clubs such as the Ridge Riders are to be commended for their role in promoting safe and responsible use of snowmobiles. However the rec- reational use of snowmobiles is one example of North America's carefree consumption of dwindling natural reâ€" sources. Certainly there are, and always will be, worse offenders. It is up to each of us as individuals to do our part by choosing a conservation- ist lifestyle and we should do it while we still have a choice.
