TOURING by Murray Anderson A few changes are being tried in order that the scheduled tours will be more interesting to more people.

The announcement will be BRIEF so be pre pared to write down pertinent information. Counselling on cross-country touring: Last year, thanks to Mrs. Doreen Ramplee-Smith and John Hanna, expert advice on this subject was available at Fortune Lodge. This will be continued on those Saturdays on which the Midget Ski School is operating. There will be someone at the Waxing Room from 1:30 to 2:30p.m. well qualified to discuss all aspects of touring. Tours are planned for all weekends beginning at the New Year, either on Saturdays or Sundays at the option of the volunteer leader. Each leader handles the details of his own trip so please telephone him as early in the week as you can, and preferably between 7:00 and 9:00 p.m. for information on starting time and place. He may be able to arrange transportation if necessary. Trips are classed according to length . Snow conditions may change the difficulty a bit.

- 12- LADIES' COMMITTEE NEWS by Doreen Ramplee-Smith The members of the Ladies' Committee are preparing a program for the 1969-70 season which they hope will prove to be varied and interesting. You will note that our program has been broadened to include the Nancy Greene League. Also this year we are attempting an experiment in Slalom namely, under the guidance of a committee, headed by Adele Korte, there will be group participation in learning how to run races as well as instruction in slalom. It is felt that this will not only be fun, but provide a team to race against the Twinski Club at Ste. Marguerite's, and produce an experienced group to help run the Ladies' Race. This Race and the Ladies ' Day Luncheon will be held as usual in March. By request, cross-country tours will be run on alternate Thurs days unless demand indicates otherwise. Please check the bulletin boards in the main lodges for further information. Your Committee for 1969-70 is as follows: Chairman Doreen Ramplee-Smith 827-2855 Co-ordinator & Public Relations Claire McEIIigot 224-7831 Secretary Doris McEIIigot 828-9443 Tresurer Gloria Mitchell 692-3511 Babysitting Margot Downs 684-5668 Mini-Midgets Gerry Munro 749-1176 Nancy Greene League Dorothy Babbitt 749-4590 Slalom Adele Korte 729-6331 Cross-Country Doreen Ramplee-Smith 827-2855 Bus Trips Sheila Follis 722-2884 Ladies' Luncheon Claire Riopelle 722-1404 Ladies' Race Mary Smialowski 749-3691 Anyone wishing to lend a hand in any of the above activities, especially in the Mini-Midget program, please get in touch with Claire McEIIigot.
