YEAR I!IOOK 1 951-52 11 A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT AR up in the Gatineau Park I saw where beavers have built a dam F in a small creek and made another lake. Usually they work at night, but this fall these particular beavers have been working by day as well. They have been very busy dr.agging poR_la.r twigs and branches through the water and storing them beneath their home for winter feeding. Could this indicate an early and long winter? If that is what the beavers' instinct tells them, the Ottawa skiers will hope their instinct is accurate because the last two winters in this_ vicinity have left much to be desired from the skiers' point of "view. In particular, if we have to have any more winter fogs, may it not be when we are having a championship jumping competition! This fall the Night Riders are busy repairing bridges and cabips, and smoothing out some of the bad spots on the hills, particularly Paradise Valley. The Trail Riders are doing a splendid job in getting the trails cleared. Owing to the heavy summer rains, the brushing is unusually heavy. · At Camp FortuJ;Je you will find a new caretaker who is performing his duties with commendable energy. Mr. Brennan resigned because of ill health. We shall miss him and his genial wife, but we are fortunate in having Mr. and Mrs. Irwin to replace them. · Because of the rising cost of operation, it has been necessary .to raise the fees of Seniors and Intermediates by one dollar. There will be no increase for Juniors. I am sure the members will not be surprised at this decision. Rather, they must have wondered how the executive has been able to carry on so long at the old rate when all other pri_~es and costs have been increasing. Even with this· dollar increase, it must be admitted that the fee is exceptionally low. You still get more for your money than you can get in any other sports organization. This' is possible because o.f the great amount of voluntary help which is given by many members.
