the rest of you, because I never had the nerve to get on one of those flying bobâ€"sleds. They weren‘t built close enough to the ground to suit me. Give me a toboggan every time...fall off a speeding toboggan and you take a roll â€" you don‘t have that extra bump. (A bump that mightwhave you eating off the mantel for a week!) _ ‘There‘s so much more pc;{én?ill, though, as far as speed is conâ€" cerned,*in a bobâ€"sled ride and it must be thrilling to go half a mile on one â€"â€" at 60 miles per hour! : f Family Outings s High park was always the ultimate in those days for family outâ€" ings of all kinds...In summgertime it was picnics, saving a bag of breadcrumbs for the lovely swans and ducks on the "duck pond". Then up the hill we‘d go, the one that goes past the animals (some of. which were there the year ‘round) ... We still laught at that great big, silly old camel who wouldn‘t eat the bread â€"he‘d grab the paper bag and eat that instead! $ & _ Winter was the best time, though. The bobâ€"sled run went down past the animais on that hill and it had a thrilling curve near the bottomi. Remember? Some of the lads would have big goggles on, tasselled caps, fancy mitts, and lots of padding in case of spills. Oh, the speed of those sleds! I often wished I had the nerve to join the row of merry faces whizzing past. â€" a We hated to leave, but eventually we‘d wave "goodâ€"bye" to the old camel (who was so blasé about the whole thing) and meander over to find excitement still running high, in the setting sun, on the toboggan run nearby. Almost on a par with the bobâ€"sled run was the long, fast ride you could have on a toboggan down the hill that took you right across Grenadier Pond and to a sudden stop, pointing up the other side. Extra quivers of excitement would shoot up your s'pins on that run because part of it was over that "bottomless" pond. If ever that ice should crack ...! (Remember the story about the Grenâ€" adier Guards Regiment crossing on the ice and going throughâ€"never to be found ? + Bodies for Ballast In those days, though, there were plenty of zero days and nights that left no one any worry on that score. Our only care was how we‘d look if our nose froze and snapped off. Community spirit ran high and the nice thing about the bobâ€"sled and toboggan runs was that even if you just went to the park to watch, there was an excellent chance of getting all the rides you wanted. "The more the merrier" was the slogan, and extra "bodies" were always needed for ballast! I declare, some of the toboggans on those five parallel slides were ten feet long,. and would carry loads of eight or ten people. What fun it was! ; f â€" We‘d scream with laughter at the last guy to get on (the pusher) who often got left behind and had a solo flight on his stomach, In his running leap for his place at the back he sometimes missed the target! . t ED : im Mc 1 en Ritcooes Celienenieens e W Y Then down we‘d go, feeling every hump and bump, swaying and awerving to the piercing shrieks and squeals of us girls. At the same time hoping against hope that our iron toe capped steeringâ€"anchor man would keep us straight and not send us sailing over the side into the crowd laboriously climbing up the hill for another "go". It never occurred to us in those days, that for an exciting halfâ€"aâ€"minute ride down the hill we had a laborious halfâ€"hour climb back up again! Our stomachs, as well as the setting sun, would tell us it was dinner time but even though we knew we‘d."get it" when we arrived home late for supper we couldn‘t leave. "Not just yet, just one more ride!" we kept saying. Looking back I can still hear the squeak of the snow under ou?r boots. And it was a happy tiredness we felt in our legs as we repeatedly trudged back up the long hill â€" doing our share, too, of pulling the craft. It‘s not hard to recall, either, the sight of the screaming passengers of other craft speeding past in the pinky twilight. . Sophisticated Night Revellers Floodlights for the more sophisticated night revellers took over from the sun, and sent us packing, regretfully, homeward at last. The end of another day. Dinner? What‘s dinner? We‘d fall asleep before eating it, somtetimes. Of course when we were old enough, we were allowed to come back after dinner and ride by the fight of the artificial "moons". { Yes, in those days the City Fathers thought enough of the young people to set up runs such as these, serving not only the young, but whole families during leisure hours. The "safety" factor would have to be considered nowadays, of course, if a run of any kind were conâ€" templated across Grenadier Pond, Even though we often have oldâ€" fashioned frosty winters; there seem to be too many intermittent spells of mildness. This must be theâ€"reason the City Fathers seem to have lost interest in bobâ€"sled runs for the young people. Strangely enough, though, it hasn‘t deterred them from laying out rinks for the more active youngsters to frisk about on. No, of course not, they didn‘t let a few mild days in winter stop them from giving the kids what they wanted â€" ice to skate on, Artificial ice! _A Why not artificial bobâ€"sled runs then ? Seems as though the trucks have a hard time fincfing a place to dump the snow scraped from the streets. Why not dump it where it can be used to make a bobâ€"sled run ? I can hear the yelps of pained surprise from parents! Our parâ€" ents were the same way. Accidents could,â€"and did happen on the iey wlopes. We know that. But what about all the skiing accidents? Does that stop the youngsters from skiing? Think of the mémories. Aren‘t they worth the risks we took ? C . A, W orthwhile Project A How could dur City Fathers forget their own youth? The thrill of an icy. blast pressing against your face as you went sailing town the runs and hills? To remember...and want to pass on that thrill to the next generation by making possible these "runs", artificial or not, would be a worthwhile project. NS 1 18 LV L on o enc c ud a 2 ‘Service Clubs in this great Metropolitan area should contemplate outdoor family winter sports facilities by planning sleighing runs in their own districts. There must be MANY lovely long hills on both sides of the Humber (without crossing it) or out Woodbridge way, where both bobâ€"sled and toboggan runs could be built with a miniâ€" mum of effort. Think of the young hearts that would be gladdened! Anything that encourages more outdoor treks as a family unit, to my mind, is a wonderful thing. Driving in the country these winâ€" ter days many families are seen taking advantage of the wonderful winter weather, but there could be far more enjoyment if there were somewhere nearby to go. In Europe, community spirit is precious, and many such activities are planned to add interest to spare time. I‘ve heard Europeans here deplore the fact that after they‘ve seen the Musum, Art Gallery, the boats in the bay, the 200, and Centre Island â€" what is there left to do? There aren‘t enough community swimâ€" ming holes, either! But I musn‘t digress .. . this is WINTER. City Fathers, Service Clubs and publicâ€"spirited citizens could get a great deal of satisfaction and give a lot of pleasure to countless young people if they would organize a community project such as this ... anywhere in Metro. My guess is that it would outdraw any sporting event anywhere in the city, at any time of year! x Back Bobâ€"Sledding . What has happened to bobâ€"sledding?
