 ready to jump on the police.
 Walking is pretty good to-day, but
 just the same people want to be on the lookout for slippery spots here and there on the sidewalks and crossing. I Some of the sidewalks about town are ] positively dangerous in this kind of

In fact, the cleaner they are l the greater the danger of falling on them, and pedestrians who have hac 1 little experience on them manage tn | give them a wide berth Folks may find fault with the tar walk, but in q general way it is the best material a municipality could use. 1t wears we'll and is safer ill all kinds of weather 1 than any other in the market This is great fishing weather and | large numbers of people are taking ad. vantage of it.

 of sport that some people do not care much about, but others look at it diff
 ferently and think nothing of stand ling around on the ice when the the4-
