Tc date of 'writing, February lst, 1972, there have been 12 fatal snowrnobile acc idents in Ontario to the best of our knowledge. This compares favourably, indeed, with 30 fatalities, as of this date last year. From the steady flow of reports on non-fatal snowmi- bile accidents that pour in wcek- ly to the Ontario Safcty 'League's office, it is a wonder that more snowimobilers 'halre not 'been fat- ally inj ured. Most of these non- fatal accidents involve the use of public thoroughfares where snow- mobiles go out of control and collide with motor vehicles, both moving and parked, or run into fixed objects such as trees, posts or rocks. There' are what might be eau- ed normal accident risks in al forms of outdoor rerreation. Wh g i snowmobile is used on' snow, where it was designed to travel, accident risks correspond broad- ].y to other popular outdoor pet- ivities. The Ontario Safety League elaims that when snowmobiles are us.ed on public thoroughfares, ini dangerous proximity to motor vehicle traffie, accident risks ini- crease to unreasonable propor- tions. A snowmobile is no match for an automobile and its oper- ator is completely unprotecfed. Medical reports on resulting humnan injury and suffering bully, vorify this opinion~. Dodicated To HeIp Nationiwide thousands of volun- teers of the Canadian Red Cross Society work to help people like those you knowý and love in comn- munities like your own. Volun- teers play a vital part in pro- prammes of water safety, -blood procuirement. hospital visiting, in-, ternational development and dis- aster assistance. Statisties represent a masssive amouint of work done by dedicat- cd people. Last'year volunteers of the Red Cross Women's Work Committee made clothing valued at $529,600. for use in emerg- ency and disaster relief in Can- ada and throughout the world. The Blood Transfusion Service provided every hospital in Can- ada with ail the blood and blood products they needeci and help- ed restore a quarter of a million persons to life and' health.-,Near- ly 800,000 persons partieipated in Red Cross courses in water safety triuining. With ail that the statistica do show, they cannot present a clear' p.icture of the individual cases of persons restored to life because blood was there %'hen they need- ci- it; of veterans who took new interest in, life because they found, through programnms of arts and cirafts, something worth- while to do: of disaster victims clothcd and fed because program- mes of relief existed to hclp. Ried Cross providess siecroom equipmient supplies free of charge to those who need them; helps youth dcvelop qualities of cffcct- ive leidership; teaches people to carc for the sick when illnes ocrsat home.
