Plans for the Port Perry Snowarama were unveiled at a press conference last week and Dave Ballingall said the course will cover 100 km. on Lake Scugog and over trails in the area. Mr. Ballingall, who is a co-ordinator for the event on behalf of the Central Ontario Regional Association said the date is Snowmobile' Sunday, February 1. As in past years, the start and finish of the 100 km run will be the Latcham Centre on the Port Perry waterfront. Supported by Molson's, Snowarama was organized several years ago, by former wrestler Whipper Billy Watson on behalf of the Ontario Society for Crippled Children. It has grown to the point where there are now 26 events held in all parts of Ontario each winter, and all net proceeds are divided evenly between the partici- pating Easter Seal organi- zations in the area and the provincial fund of the Society for Crippled Children. The first Port Perry Farm Safety group holds annual meeting The annual meeting of the Ontario County Farm Safety -Association-was-held in the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Board Room, Ux- bridge on the afternoon of Thursday, January 8. The guest speaker on this occasion was Mr. Keith White, Agricultural Specia- list, Ontario Hydro. Mr. White spoke and showed slides on unsafe wiring, proper loading, fusing and wire sizing. Also on the program, Miss Marilyn Sewell, Farm Safety Consultant, reported on the activities of the Provincial Safety Association during the past year, and noted that fatalities were marginally higher in 1980 than they were in 1979. A total of 42 farm related fatalities were repor- ted in the Province, with 52 per cent of these being tractor related. The final speaker on the program, Mr. Larry Swinn, Public Relations Director, Ontario Farm Safety Asso- ciation, gave an update on research in silo gas detec- tion. Mr. Swinn noted that nine people had been killed with'silo gas since 1962, with three of these in the same silo in 1977. Mr. Swinn repor- ted that Agriculture Canada is presently doing research on the silo gas problem. It has been found that testing equipment generally is not accurate for this purpose because of other gases that may be present. In evacua- ting air from a silo, it was mentioned that the blower doesn't work well if the silage is more than 30 feet below the blower pipe. Officers elected by the Ontario County Farm Safety Association for 1981 are as follows: Chairman - Ellis Britton, R.R. 3, Claremont; Vice Chairman - Neil McLeod - R.R. 5, Sunder- land; Secretary - Ivan Bell, Box 309, Uxbridge; Treasur- er - Gordon Ewen, R.R. 1, Uxbridge; Directors-at- large - Grant Hill, R.R.1, Zephyr; Art Catton, R.R. 2, Port Perry and Don St. John - R.R.3, Uxbridge. 416-985-2618 AFFORDABLE BUILDING SYSTEMS FOR FARM AND INDUSTRY MURDOCK R.
