Steps Being Taken To Make Ski-ing Grounds In N.Z. Safer
(P.A.) Wellington, May 24. In order to ensure greater safety for skiers on mountains the Ski Council of the Federated Mountain Clubs of New Zealand has taken up a scheme Involving research into snow conditions. At a recent meeting of the council in Wellington it was reported that the Christchurch Club had instituted a system of ski petrols, members of which are also trained in first aid. Besides assisting anyone who may be injured on the mountains, it is one of the duties of the patrols to take preventive measures against accidents by enforcing the recognised rules for safe ski-ing. A deputation which recently waited on the Minister of Internal Affairs (Mr. Parry) regarding matters of interest to skiers, advised that as a result the Minister had called for reports on several subjects. These reports already had been drawn up for presentation to the Minister.
