& Mobile By Inga With no snow in our area more and more people will be trailering their snowmobiles. A few safety rules and suggestions at this time might be of help, specially for the persons trailering for the first time. x>* You might say to yourself "1 trailer my boat during the summer and it's no different from a snowmobile". Basically you're right When backing up, turning the car wheel to the left will make a trailer turn right or taking your turns and curves wide to prevent the trailer wheels from going off the pavement. I've heard my husband say many times i t ' s eabier to back up and park our 23 ft. cruiser on its double axle trailer than it is that l i t t le snowmobile trailer The main reason for this, is a snowmobile trailer will respond much quicker and turn more sharply when backing up than is an­ ticipated by the owner when he is turning the car ' s s teer ing wheel. If you are new at t ra i ler ing, and the trickiest part is backing up and parking, t ry taking your trailer, without the snowmobile on it and pract ice parking, backing up, pul l ing in and out of t ight spots before making that first long trip up north. Get t ing the feel of your t ra i ler and i ts responses are important . I t could avoid a bad accident I 've l is ted a few safety points that would be good for everyone to check before taking off 1. Trailer Hitch: Is the t ra i ler hitch properly placed on the ball of the car9 Latch securely locked in place 9 Safety chains securely hooked to the car 9 Snow and road sal t wil l cause rust on the bal l and bal l socket , give i t a l i t t le sanding and oi l f rom t ime to t ime to keep them moving smoothly 2. Trai ler Lights When working the direct ional l ights , brake, back up lights in the car , do they correspond correct ly on the trailer9 Wrong wir ing could cause the direct ional l ights of the trailer to be opposi te of the car Check your running l ights . At t imes snow and ice can wedge in between the trailer springs or axle and the wiring causing it to become pinched or broken . We check our running l ights every t ime we get gas when we are t ra i ler ing Our running l ights went out because of the ice ment ioned above, luckily we caught i t and didn ' t receive a t icket . I t d id delay us an hour to have i t f ixed 3. Tire: Keep them well in flated and check every now and then for foreign objects wedged into the threads picked up by packed snow. Remember too that when you are driving at high speeds your small tiret? are making many more revolutions than your car tires. Can they stand it? Are they a heavy enough ply? 4. Secure Snowmobiles: The rear of the snowmobile should be secured to the trailer. Rope or a chain can be used but there are the regular snowmobile "tie downs". A hard length of rubber with hooks at each end attached to trailer and snowmobile. Are the pins or fasteners in good condition that secure the rods going through your skis? It might not be a bad idea to put an extra safety chain through your skis and secure to trailer. Fast or emergency stopping does cause the snowmobile to slide back and forth. 5. Covers: Covers tear to shreds from the high wind during trailering when not tied down good. Besides »the rope that is pulled through the bottom of the covers we find a few lengths of "shock cord" with hooks at the end come in handy. Hook into the eyes of one side of the cover, through the track and hook to the eye at the other rWe. The Polar Pairs Snowmobile club informs me that the races at Rudolph's farm was can­ celled for Jan. 9 because of no snow. It is rescheduled for Jan. 30. In last week's column I gave you some of the highlights of our trip up north. Due to the policy of the paper I was unable to give you the names of the motels we stayed at or the restaurants that can be reached when snowmobiling on the various trails I mentioned. If any reader would like the names and numbers of the various places, which are good gathering spots for snowmobilers give me a call at 385-2227. It would be helpful if you are going to the Boulder .Junction, Wisconsin Rapids areas. There were also several businesses where every Friday night the local snowmobilers would start out from on beautiful trail rides. Anyone would be welcome to join. Thhs is good if you are not familiar with the trails. REGISTRATION Section 5-6 other prohibition 1. No person, except persons permitted by law, shall operate or ride any snowmobile with any firearm in his possession unless it is unloaded and en­ closed in a carrying case, or any bow unless it is unstrung in a carrying case. 2. No person shall deposit from a snowmobile on the snow, ice or ground, trash, glass, garbage, insoluble material, or other offensive matter.

Kin^erk Last week the hockey league finally got under way. The ice was in very poor condition last Wednesday night when the senior team from Crystal Lake came to town to have a light scrimmage with our seniors. The outcome was in favor of our McHenry team by the score of 15-2. Even though it was played on very poor ice this outcome is only a slight in­ dication of the great season our seniors are going to have. Saturday the juniors (15 thru 17) and our youngest teams (9 thru 12)-, had practice sessions getting prepared for the coming week. Sunday morning, even though the ice was starting to melt right under our feet, we took a combination of our juniors and had a scheduled game with a Park Ridge team called the Hinckley Park Hawks, and again we met the challenge with great success by whipping them handily 3-0. This Saturday morning the junior teams No. 7 and 8 will play a game and the winner will go to Rockford Sunday morning to play a? 11 a.m. game with a Rockford team. Also this Saturday at 12:15 p.m. Team No. 1 will play a game with a team from Harvard here on our rink, and Sunday team No. 2 will play a team from Park Ridge. This age group for teams No. 1, 2, & 3 are from 9 thru 12 years old. I would like to see some more boys sign up in the league. We would like to have a couple of more teams in each age bracket. Just stop down at the rink and we will sign you up. At this time I would like to thank the young boys who were down at the rink Tuesday night and shoveled off the snow. You all did a great job. As this weekend approaches we are going to have these games on Saturday and Sun­ day. It sure would be nice if some people came out and cheered them on. ,\JANUARY 14, 1972 The small freshwater catfish of North America called "Mad Tom" can inflict a painful wound with its poison tipped plctoral fins.
