Of special interest to Juniors 16 to 18 years of age is that the Emblem Rules have been revised to include them. Classes and maximum test times: JUNIORS- 5 Km. (3.125 mi.)Bronze Silver 16 yrs., Boys 40 min. 16 yrs., Girls 50 " 17 yrs., Boys 40 " 35 min. 17 yrs., Girls 50 " 40 " Juniors 18 yrs. are now classed as A Class Men and Women MEN- 10 Km.

The individual skier competes only against the maximum time set for the course. The series of Emblem Tests is a CASA effort to help promote a long term physical fitness programme and every skier is eligible to take the test. If you have been undecided or wonder how tough this test is, we might mention that last season ten of the ladies won their Emblems. In Class C (that's the over 50 groups), seven of the Emblems were awarded. To try for these Emblem Awards just be at Fortune Lodge around race time, usually 2:00 p.m. on Saturday and 11:00 a.m. on Sundays and we will be quite pleased to help you get started on your Emblem Test.

THE CANADIAN SKI BADGE by Frank Morrall Special notice for boys and girls 10 to 15 years of age. This year the Canadian Amateur Ski Association has established a National Cross Country Test for the 10 to 15 year old skiers. The test is for 2.5 kilometers and the award is the Canadian Ski Badge. Bronze Badge- Ages 10 & 11 yrs. Boys: 25 min. Girls: 30 min. Silver Badge- Ages 12 & 13 yrs. Boys: 20 min. Girls: 25 min. Gold Badge- Ages 14 & 15 yrs. Boys: 17 min. Girls~ 20 min. Your age the day you take the test is the age group you must compete in. You may win only one Badge in each age group. Three attempts to win a Badge will be allowed in one year. The first Canadian Ski Badge Test will be held with the Midget Preliminary Cross Country Race. Other tests will be held later wtih Midget and Juvenile C.C. events. So come on all of you racers, trail skiers and downhill types and enter this event. You may not be able to win a race; but the badge test is not a race: it is just to prove you can do 2.5 Km. in Badge time, and everyone can win their Ski Badge. Skiers in the 13 to 15 year ages who are anxious to get their Ski Badge, may fore-run or sweep at the Midget event and their time will be used to qualify for their Ski Badge. The Ski Badges will be available at the finish line or you may obtain them later from Mrs. Morrall. The cost of the Ski Badge is 50 cents. The Badges and rules will be on display in the entrance to Fortune Lodge. 12 LINE JUMPERS! ! . are entitled to an offic~al membership card by· Bud Keenan in the Association. The benefits are varied.
