Kindness means to make people happy, cheer

them up, help them. Give people flowers. Give

them compliments and share with them. Be friend-

them. Like I'm making friends all of the time be-

cause I'm kind. My brother and I are both kind

to other people and each other and now we both

have lots of friends.

50 years ago...

The number of snowmobilers arrested by conservation officers and other law enforcement has climbed sharply in the last three years. In 1969 a total of 169 arrests were recorded; in 1970 it rose to 757; and in 1971, 1,128 arrests were made for violations of snowmobile regulations.

Most common is operating an unregistered machine, failure to have registration numbers affixed and operating the machines on the inside bank of the highway right-of-way.

Kindness means to be nice and help other peo-

means to help people with disabilities. Some

examples are cleaning up trash and donating

money to charities and zoos. Help bringing in
