      Mortimer Doyle, president of the International Snowmobile Industry Association, poses with large snowmobile outside the Inn of the Park yesterday. Despite temperatures around 26 Celsius, the association is holding its annual congress and discussing such unseasonal topics as Snow Country - Winter Fun for Everyone. Snowmobile sales are expected to reach 250,000 in 1978, figures that should keep manufacturers warm in the long winter nights.

      Image shows police divers plunging into the water.
      Harbor police scuba divers plunge into the ice-covered water of the harbor; led by 2nd Officer Ernie Norrey (top). Following him are Brian Kennedy; David Bryan and Ulrich Ertle. In the water; only the tops of their heads show (bottom) as they practise holding their breath to conserve air and keep in shape in case a car plunges into the lake. They practise all year; even in 30-degree weather like today.
