This is the Year Book's eighteenth issue and as usual there was a period when it appeared as though it would not make it. There are, in the club, people with writing ability and interesting stories to tell but very few of them can even be persuaded to share their experiences or ideas let alone offer them. Some years ago I sent the late Jim Patrick, the founder of our Year Book, an unsolicited article. His gratitude was so touching that I wondered if I had inadvertently enclosed an endorsed cheque with it. Unlike commercial publications the Year Book has no staff of reporters to ferret out stories and must depend on club members. It is thus about what you make it. A dull issue would not necessarily reflect an uneventful year but rather the fact that the great mass of members, some I 0,000 strong, had even less to say than usual. In its usual place at the front of the book comes your president's message. In it he hints at the fact that both the club and associated services have been spending more for the club members than they have taken in for the last few years. Some tightening of the belt will be necessary. In the centre of the book we find Bob McGriffin's financial report on the "state of the club". Next is the "Weatherman" telling us what went wrong with the Winter from our point of view and why he found it the best yet. Perhaps, now that he knows John Clifford will look after us if the natural snow fall fails, Mr. Baker will give up his lonely fight against snow and cold and call for an old-fashioned traffic stopper this year. Ferdie Chapman gives a brief account of the work he and his committee did on the trails with the aid of the Trail Riders, that energetic group of young men who work all fall and then rise with the dawn in winter to assure us good trail skiing. Gary Perkins was able to report a slightly lower incidence of accidents this year but points out that this probably resulted only from fewer skiing days due to poor snow conditions.

J -5- For the first time in some years we have a report on European skiing. Squadron Leader Sylvia Evans tells of touring in the Alps. Still en touring we hear from Dorothy Peck who quite appropriately us-es the pen name "Dorelia Peak" when describing her ski trips in the Rockies. These ladi•es have caught the spirit of the silent places and when I read their stories I had a moment when I was tempted to give up the lifts and tows. But the call of downhill flight, even though I move slower each year, is still too strong - maybe next year ! My Peport on the Midget Program tells of a good year which was almost unaffected by the thin snow cover. Harry Rosewarne who joined the directorate last year to co-ordinate the new Juvenile Program reports an excell•ent start. Frank Cooke, another new director, gives an account of the progress which has been made in bringing cross country running back. The other nordic event, ski jumping, is also on the way back after some slim years. Franz Baier gives us an account of the tremendous job he and the jumpers have done in rebuilding the jumping hill and developing our jumpers. Radio Station CFRA has joined us at Camp Fortune and its activities are described in a short note. Jessie Fear reports on square dancing. This is the only activity of the club which annually declares a small profit. An anonymous army spokesman has written an account of the military skiing at Camp Fortune. Russ Smart, retiring Second Vice President of the Club, gives a report on competitions which he co-ordinated this year.

As anticipated in "The President's Message" in last year's Yearbook, we have passed the 10,000 mark in membership. A membership as large as ours makes tremendous demands on the Ski Club and associated services. To satisfy these demands there has been a steady, continuous drain on our financial resources. There have been suggestions, if not demands, for new hills. It would, however, seem, prudent to concentrate on the improvement of the hills we have and avoid the heavy expenditure of Club funds which the development of a new hill requires. I feel that the season of 1961-1962 should be a period for improvement of the hills and other services at Camp Fortune and the Sky Line. We hope to increase the accomodation at the Sky Line Lodge by thi! addition of a second storey. Outside of this, it would seem prudent to use our funds for conservation and maintenance of what we already have developed. We were glad to see the senior jumping hill in operation and while its develop­ ment is not complete, it is obvious that Franz Baier has designed a top-notch jump. A great deal of excellent work has been done on trails by Ferdie Chapman and his trail riders. We hope that the indicated trend towards trail skiing will continue and increase in volume. Gary Perkins' Ski Patrol and the St. John Am­ bulance should be commended for the care and attention they gave injured skiers during the season. I wish to extend my thanks to the directors of Ottawa Ski Club as well as the Club executive, to our property manager and to all others who have devoted so much of th'.!ir time to the interest of Ottawa Ski Club and its members. Without their generous support, it would be impossible to operate a successful ski club. I have purposely omitted going into details about the various activities of the Club as these are more satisfactorily dealt with in the ensuing pages by the parties who have intimate knowledge of the same. A. GEORGE McHUGH, P resident, O.S.C.

-8- THE WEATHERMAN REPORTS By F. W. BAKER, Agrometeorology, Dept. of Agriculture It's time to write about winter again and in my seasonal anguish I sound this plaintive call - "How can a soul write about winter when there is only summer in his heart ?" If I could only be one of the great scientists at Cape Canaveral I would be unselfish and untiring in my devo­ tion to do one thing really well, and that would be to put winter into a capsule and make sure that the unit that triggers it into orbit would be missing. Every mile would bring a smile - A lot of lovely smiles, eh, skiers?"
