advocated the officers on the night
force to take them as targets at
which TO fire and thus practice and
make good shots.
The recent cold weather has
been instrumental in making heavy
ice. Con scquently the skaters have
been out in force. Yesterday af-
tcrnoon half dozen oil BOYS went
TOO close to the edge on the dyke
and down they went. John Steele
was the farthest away from the
bank and he went down until the
cold water was UP to his arm pits.
A few strides brought him 10 the
bank and then the party raced to
their homes.
