There've he on some changes
made in wintertime life in the
northland—and the racy snow
mobile has brought ahout a
Rood many of them Whether
you live in the snow country,
or have plans to visit, there
this year, you'll he surprised at
its new look.
Gone are the days, when a
vacation home necessarily had
to be shut down after Labor
Day because it would become
inaccessible once the snow be
gan to fly.
No longer need the skier,
ice fisherman or ice boating
enthusiast cancel a weekend
outing when a sudden blizzard
closes roads to the mountains
or lakes.
And winter camping—once
limited to a few stalwart con
servationists—has come into its
own as an outdoor activity the
entire family can enjoy.
In short, the snowmobile has
made it possible for people to
go where they want to go—
and the more snow the better.
Full size and miniature
snowmobiles are available this
year at price ranges from SSOO
for the small sled to $1,400 for
the larger models.
Most junior-size snowmobiles

from clear or tinted Uvex plas

The windshields are designed
to protect the driver's chest
and hands from icy winds en
countered most often on cross

toughness and lightweight char

event of a turnover, they are
resistant to shattering.
The new breed of snowmo
bilers either trail their sleds
to cottages or leave them there
for a kaleidoscope of activi
ties. Besides just pleasure rid
ing—including racing on frozen
lakes—they ice fish in remote
lakes and rely on the track
driven sleds for swift, sure
transport into secluded deer
camps.
Many states and national
forests as well as county parks
offer snowmobile trails. If
you're looking for a trail in a
particular area, write to the
state conservation or tourism
bureau for "where to snow

to take off into the now world

Red Cross Costs for Aid to
Military Exceed S4B Million
I
WASHINGTON, D. C. -
Over 107,000 U. S. service
men and women turned to
the American Red Cross for
help with personal and family
emergencies each month last
year with the resutl that ex
penditures for services to the
armed forces and their fami
lies were the highest since
World War 11.
The total cost came to
$48,440,500- -40 per cent of
all American Red Cross ex
penditures for the 1967-68
fiscal year, President James
F. Collins, Red Cross presi
dent, said today.
The record outlay was at
tributed to requirements for
service generated by the Viet
namese conflict and increases
in the U. S. Armed Forces.
Over 400 American Red Cross
workers provided needed help
for an average of 27,500 ser
vicemen each month in Viet
nam. Tens of thousands others
were reached through Ameri
can Red Cross recreation pro
grams.
Noting that the organiza
tion is charged by Congress to
"act as a medium of voluntary
relief and communications
between the American people
and the members of their
armed forces," General Col
lins forecast that the cost of
these services may yump to
over $53 million in the fiscal
year beginning next July 1,
during which total ARC ex
penditures are expected to
top $l2B million.
Red Cross volunteers and
staff last year were on duty in
30 countries around the
world where U. S. forces are
stationed, providing such help
as financial assistance, emer
gency communication with
their families at home, and
counseling. Their Red Cross
service efforts covered 2,140
military posts and 111 mili
tary medical facilities, Gene
ral Collins said.
To provide this Red Cross
help took a force of 38,200
volunteers in the 3,300 ARC
chapters, 72,400 volunteers
serving regularly at military
stations and medical facilities
at home and abroad, and
6,400 members of the Red
Cross staff.
During the year, $12,917,
100 was expended in financial
assistance to members of the
military services and their
families. A major portion of
this was repaid.
Young women, serving as
recreational workers in South
Vietnam and Korea, traveled
a monthly average of 41,300
miles to offer special pro
grams to troops. Each month
approximately 315,700 U. S.
servicemen participated in
these activities.
General Collins also report
ed that Red Cross workers in
chapters served one in every
five families of servicemen
during the year - -an increase
of 15 per cent over the pre
vious fiscal year.
liy Madge the Manicurist
Rings and Things
NEW YORK (ED)-Four
rings, Miss Clark? Is that the
latest thing? Well, I'm a little
old fashioned that way. I think
one ring pel- hand is enough.
Well, yes, I run the over-thirty
generation, hut I just 'don't see
how all those rings do anything
for anybody—except maybe the
ring manufacturers.
You know, Henry the 'Eighth
would have been at home today.
I read somewhere he always wore
many rings on a hand and had
over 234 rings in all! That scarab
ring you're wearing is like the
kind they used to wear in the
old days to ward off evil. Oh, i/oit
wear it to ward off evil, too? I'll
bet there's even some poison in
that huge Italian domed ring
you've got on your middle finger.
Really? Why Miss Clark, how
clever of you to put a headache
tablet there. That's ingenious!
If you don't mind my saying
so, I think your hands would look
prettier with fewer rings and
more attention to hand care.
Now, don't get me wrong. The
short, square nails are 0.k.-if
you like that newest nail fashion
from Paris and London. But the
skin 011 your hands is very rough
and chapped. I'll go on a program
•of a little hand therapy, if I were
you.
I think you might start off by
avoiding scrubbing anil too fre
quent hot-water washing. That
just takes all the natural oils out
of the skin. When you're doing
the dishes, try putting a mild
dishwashing liquid in the water,
like Palmolive. It'll soften your
hands and make them not only
look better but feel smoother.
Then I'd get a good hand cream
and start using that pretty regu
larly. That'll do it, I think.
My mother always used to say
that a person's hands were their
calling card. And you know, I
think she was right.
Miss Clark, will you answer
our question. Wouldn't you like
to really exchange those four chic
rings for just one small solitaire
on the left hand?
Another Storm
Hits in Midwest
Another major storm marched .
out of the Rockies into the snow -
choked Upper M ; dwest Thurs
day. More light snow fell in
storm-paralyzed New
England.
Southern Californians warily
returned to flood and mud bat
tered homes with skies clear but
threatened with still another
ocean gale.
Travelers' warning:: were up
in parts of Nebraska and lowa.
Gale warning flags were flying
along the Maine coast from
Portland to Eastport, and along
the California coast from Point
Arena to Point St. George.
The death toll from one of the
nation's worst four-day weather
onslaughts reached 46, 34 in New
England and 12 in California.
8 Feet High
The storm which stacked as
much as eight feet of snow onto
New England was moving out to
sea but New Hampshire's Mount
Washington collected another 3
inches of snow to bring its total
since Sunday to 97 inches.
States of emergency were in
effect in Peabody, Scituate,
Hanson, Wayland, Gloucester
and Marblehead, Mass., where
residents shivered in heatless,
lightless homes following storm
caused power failures.
Snowmobiles, dog sleds and
toboggans were pressed into
service to haul food and
medicine to 500 families
marooned behind 20-foot snow
drifts at Ipswich, Mass.
Several hundred persons were
isolated on Plum Isbnd at
Newburyport, Mass., with the
only causeway to the mainland
blocked by snow drifts and all
but one of Newburyport's snow
plows broken down.
Boston had 25 inches of snow,
the greatest total from a single
storm in the city's history.
February already is the
snowiest in Boston history with
40 inches so far this month.
Most Maine cities had five
feet of snow on the ground.
Boston's Logan International
Airport was in full operation
Thursday for the first time since
Monday.
A Massachusetts congressman
appealed for federal manpower
and equipment to aid the
stricken area.
A mother and five cfiildren
died in a fire which destroyed
their isolated home in the snowy
countryside near Stephentown,
N.Y.
Blowing and drifting snow was
reported in the Colorado moun
tains, where 3 inches of new
snow fell during the night.

14 inches. Burwell, Neb., and
Jamestown, N.D., reported 2 in
ches of new snow during the late
morning. Winds up to 30 mile*
an hour accompanied the snow
in the Great Plains.
In California, where an ocean
gale flooded lowlands with
heavy rain and closed mountain
passes with heavy snow, most of
the 5,000 persons driven from
homes at Ventura by floodwat
ers returned Thursday. A total
of 12,500 persons were forced
from homes by the flooding and
mud slides. Authorities said that
if new rains raise the level of
the Santa Clara River, another
20,000 persons may have to flee
homes at Oxnard.
The search continued for four
Boy Scouts and their leader,
missing in the snowy San
Bernardino mountains since last
weekend.
Rescue crews dug through the
rubble of a collapsed fire station
in California's Silverado Canyon,
where five persons were known
to have perished in a mud
slide.
Don't Let Your Emotions
Make You A Statistic
Distressed? Depressed? An
noyed or even overjoyed? Be
careful! Don't become one of
the 4,000,000 yearly traffic
crash statistics.
An estimated 80 per cent of
all traffic crashes involve drivers
emotions. Thus, emotional con
ditions indirectly cause most
of the 1,000 traffic deaths per
week.
Strong emotions can act as
drugs that affect the brain and
inhibit the decision making
processes, explains Don Costa,
Safety Director of the Allstate
Insurance Companies. Conse
quently, an excessively elated
driver takes more chances than
he ordinarily would. A de
pressed driv- ~ i|H~ w
er "loses him- j _
self" in his \
problems and
fails to no
ti c e the
changed traf
fic signal. 7 r^H
The prob- / /
lem is for the / Jfl
driver to //fHV \ V
drive careful
ly despite the "
temporary handicap of anger
or other emotion.
