Don\u2019t order just ANY fuel oil, phone 2116 and OUR truck will call.Order from Adam .you\u2019ll notice the difference, both in quality and service.W.H.ADAM Reg\u2019d FUEL OIL 10 Windsor Street Phone 2116 and centrifugal force into play whieh will extensively replace the muscular effort of the bodyswing.The latter is only required to initiate the swing.The most common faults which occur in practicing the Christiania are falls to the inside.This is due : to faulty weight distribution.The ¦ awkward crossing of the ski ends, ! called \u201ctail spins\u201d indicates that the turn-inner ski was not ad- j vanced during the turn.Overswinging is another bad habit that causes fails.It can be avoided by increasing edging at the moment of approaching the horizontal line.When progress in practicing has reached the degree of satisfaction it is recommended to start the turn from a steeper angle until 1 finally a swing from the straight ] line of decent can be attempted.In linking these parallel Christ-j ianias.that is to say connecting I two Traverses, one must first get ¦ both skis pointing straight down-! hill into the fall lino.One approaches the turn in a slight crouch, followed by a forward and upward movement of the body.This will unweight both ski ends and point the weighted shovels straight downhill.It will also enable the skier to transfer his weight to the outer ski at the proper time.Brisk and overdone movements must be avoided since the skier does not wish to come to a stop, instead the movements must be fluid, rhythmical and elegant.Long and arduous practicing is in store for those who wish to reach that highest degree of perfection in Christiania technique.There is no short cut to success.» Quebec City, »he Ancient Capi-'tnl of New France, has always ibeen a tourist mecca second to |none in Nohth America, and these (days more and more winter sports enthusiasts are hearing of the un-lexcel-led conditions available oversight.Help preserve the shape of your I ski hoots and use shoe trees.Allow j your boots to dry at normal room I temperature\u2014not near a fire.Im-i proper care will ruin the best of ski boots.SKIING The Sport Of Sports The thrill of a downhill slalom; cross country jogs in a winter wonderland.Truly, this is the sport for you!

Canadian Ski School in 1938 those skiers who have been doing the organization and operational work have looked forward to the day when the school would spread from the Laurentian zone to the rest of Canada.That day has arrived.This year the first Canadian Travelling Ski School will move out and operate at North Bay and Port William in Ontario.This is being made possible by the Department of Travel and Publicity of the Ontario Government.Colonel the Honorable Arthur Welsh, Minister, stated that the Department will pay the salaries of the professionals who are to do the teaching.This has been done because he and his deputy, Tom McCall, realize that furthering the spread of safe controlled skiing will be a great help to the Winter tourist business in the province.I Ontario has many potential skiing! areas that are only partly develop-! ed or at present untouched.Better} skiers mean more skiers, more skiers mean that more facilities j can be profitably provided and j more facilities mean more tourists, i The success of the schools is as- j sured by the full co-operation of j the Canadian Amateur Ski Asso-} ciation and the Canadian Ski In- j structors Alliance.This co-operation is available in every respect.Sidney Dawes and Louis Cochand,1 the respective presidents, have done much of the preparatory organization work.Walter Klus, the perennial secretary of the Alliance, has been doing a lot of spade work even though this is the time of year when he is up to his neck arranging the professional school.You don\u2019t have to guess, this year the Travelling school is for amateurs.The North Bay school starts January 12 and runs for six days.All the clubs in the Gatineau, and Southern and Northern Ontario Zones have been invited to send representatives.The Fort William school, January 19bh to 24th, will cater to the Lake Superior and Manitoba Ski Zones.Both schools will include a few skiing cousins from the United States.The potential ski instructors will return to their clubs after the course and organize ski schools with themselves as directors.In this way free instruction in the Canadian Ski Technique will be available to all.It is not expected that these amateur instructors who will only be working weekends will be able to do the job that the professionals can but they will definitely improve the skiing ability of anyone who comes to them and any such person will be able to.look forward to a winter vacation assured of a great deal of pleasure.Much of the instruction will be aimed in days to come at the Juniors and school boys and

Brault\u2019s farm on Brompton Road.The farm is the scene annually of the Hilicrest Ski School which attracts hundreds of pupils each year interested in learning the art of skiing.Today Fabi\u2019s Farm is a most highly developed and succe-vfully operated ski project.Two strong rope tows make skiing more enjoyable for thousands of enthusiastic skiers.A 12,5(H) watt lighting system has been installed on the hiiis enabling those wh-o are busy during the -day to enjoy their favorite sport at night.Seven downhill trails and been cleared and there are two well-marked crosscountry trails from the edge of city directly to a shelter at the foot of the slope.The project started five years agi) by the Hilicrest Ski Club, includes a ski school that now has a competent staff of fifteen instructor.All who are interested are invited to take instruction wiiich is provided free to club members.The Fabi\u2019s Farm development has done more to further interest in skiing in this district than any other undertaking in local skiing history.Credit for its success goes to the hard-working members of Hilicrest Ski club who devoted their time and energy in making Fabi\u2019s a skiers paradise.At the outvfei; the club\u2019s treasury bore all the expense of installing tows, lighting and shelter.The enterprise soon found supporters among the city fathers and eventually even provincial officials became interested in the development of a winter playground in at Sherbrooke.In 1945 the Provincial government granted, outright, the sum of one thousand dollars to Hill crest.During the Christmas holidays of that year it was estimated that the facilities at Riault\u2019s were used by no less than 2,500 Sherbrooke children.The large shelter is a haven for chilled skiers, who come in to warm themselves when the weather is particularly cold.It is pos- isible to buy warm drinks and sandwiches at the Shelter and the cabin has become almost as popular a meeting place as the slope.! There is a large parking place near the cabin.Since Fabi\u2019s is only a ten minute drive from the heart of Sherbrooke many skiers drive out for a ! few hours of skiing whenever they have a free afternoon during the' week.When skiing is good the Shelter is kept open every after-: noon and the tows are in operation providing there are enough ! customers.A battery of 25 flood-lights i turns night into day, allowing skiers io enjoy favorable weather conditions twice as long as would ! ordinarily be possible.The lighting system, installed in co-operation with the city of Sherbrooke, has pro.i > successful that other Canadian ski centres have emulated the Fabi\u2019s Farm night-skiing undertaking.With so many people taking advantage of the many facilities offered at Fabi\u2019s it was necessary j to plan a first-aid system.All in-!.-tractors and assistant instructors j of the Ski School have either j qualified for their St.John Ambulance First Aid certificates or have received basic training in the administration of first aid.There is first aid equipment in the Shelter, but Ski School officials report that it has come in for hardly any use.Acc\u2019dente on the hill have been kept to an absoulte minimum.The reason for this is that the school does not merely foster 1 iing :\u2022\t: advocates the learning of safe skiing.The instructors are all experts at skiing control and the hundreds of youngsters who swarm the slopes during the winter are all taught that control is essential to safety in skiing.A popular event at Fabi\u2019s annually is the Sherbrooke schoolboy\u2019s and girls\u2019 ski meet.Also staged is a St.Charles Seminary meet.Thousands participate.The name of the farm may have been changed but the -old spirit is still there and Fabi\u2019s Farm will still be the place for young and old.Cutting into the powdery snow at St.Sauveur, in the Laurentians.the group above are not ing the sun and snow, but are also learning to ski\tc oiny c.N.li.enjoy- Photo Alpine Inn Bought By Vernon Cardy Prepares For Many Sporting Events Special to the Record Ste.Marguerite\u2019s Station, Que., Jan.10.\u2014On this winter day, with the vari-colored lights sending out their brilliance from the gently swaying evergreens before the door of the Alpine Inn of Ste.Marguerite\u2019s Country Club, a spirit of good living and fun, seldom prevailing away from hotel, exists in this famed resort.Within the 1-og walls of the Inn there is music and laughter, dancing, singing and heart happy people who are enjoying the life in the Laurentian winter wonderland to the fullest.And the staff THE INEXPERTS THERE ARE SO MANY OF US! !
