FINAL PLANS FOR LAUNCHING LOCAL
CURLING rink MADE THIS MORNING
Half Blolk at the Corner Of B Judge Avenue and Washing.
ton Street Chosen as Site + or Rink Committee Out
lined Plans at Meeting at the Commercial Club.

Final plans for launching the big
curling and skating rink were made
at a meeting Of the directors Of the
newly Incorporated organization at
the Commercial club rooms this morn
ing. The site chosen for the rink is
h half block at the corner Of Bulge
and Washington street. The rink will
front east or the street and will be
easily accessible from the car line and
also from the southern part Of the
city. The meeting this morning was
an enthusiastic one. and assurances
mean the success Of the proposition
from a financial standpoint. Natural
~ the rink will be a big thing for
Grand Forks in furnishing two ideal
forms of winter sport that are both
popular and healthful, one appealing
particularly to the younger people and
h other to the men Of the city.
feet by 225 feet. with several sheets
Of ice for curling and a big unbroken
sheet of ice for skating purposes.
There will be- waiting rooms for men
and women suitably arranged. as well
as lockers and other equipment that
goes with an up-to-date curling rink.
The object of the association is to give
in the way of winter sports. and to
make the rink popular in every sense
of the word. Chairman Cameron of
the committee LAY that there is nc
reason why the curling rink should
not become a social, center in Grand
Forks during the winter months just
as it has in many other cities. The
best equipment possible will be oh.
tanned and the rink will be run along
thoroughly up-to-date lines.
The Grand Forks Curling club Is i'm
%corporated for $4,000. the stock being
divided into 1000 shares Of SO each.
The evening times. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1906-1914, 1912-11-26

The plan Is to. dispose of these shares
to Grand Forks business men and
citizens generally. The directors are
confident that the rink will be Il sue
cess from a financial standpoint. for
this has been the result in every city
where 1t has been tried. Already
some of the stock has been spoken
for and during the next few days a
committee will canvass the city. Those
who desire to take stock will find q
list In the Office Of the secretary Of the
Commercial club. No difficulty is an
ticipated in financing the proposition
in view of the enthusiastic support 1,
has received.
The construction Of just such a rink
has been discussed in Grand Forks
now for several years in the city and
the present definite step marks the
elimination Of a steadily growing sen.
tiinent in favor of the plan.
The erection Of the rink will have
an important result in bringing the
business men of Grand Forks in closer
eastern North Dakota, where curling
Kinks have been maintained for sew.
eral years. Encouraging letters have
been received from Drayton. Bathgate
Bowesmont n mHny other cities as.
surfing the local enthusiasts that they
will visit Grand Forks in force, If d
curling rink is built here.
The need of an enclosed skating
rink has also been evident during tho
past few years. The park board has
endeavored to meet the situation by
maintaining open air Kinks which
have attracted many skaters. Natur-
ally. however. these Kinks have at.
tracted the smaller boys and girls and
have left the older skaters without ar
opportunity to enjoy the sport under
desirable conditions. The new rini
will furnish the best possible facili.
ties for skating In addition to curling

Washington. Nov. o6.-All United
States naval vessels may be with
drawn from the great lakes as a re-
suit of the refusal of the shipbuilding
companies on the lakes to enter into
repair contracts with the navy depart
ment on account of their hostility to
the eight hour law. The lake plants
are operated on a ten hour basis and,
although Attorney General Wicker

on a government contract could use its
men on other work after employing
them eight hours on the government
job. zone Of the companies wants q
contract from the department. The
test came when the department vain
~ endeavored to have repairs made
on the converted yacht Dorothea.
The situation Is not considered par
ticularly serious because the United
States keep vessels on the lakes for
use in training naval militia. Under
existing treaties. the government has
no police boats along the Canadian
border and II the training craft cam

agreed that the secretary take the

One of the most important things
that will be undertaken. however, will
be the doing away, sc far as possible,
with the weak churches that cannot
Possibly accomplish their purpose. AS
the plan was outlined, the congrega-
tons in a community, where there is
one strong and one weak church,
would be asked to unite. If the con-
gregation Of the weak, struggling
church refused to do so, a publicity
campaign would be carried on to
show the people where their money
was going to. and how it was not ac-
complishing its purpose. In this way
it is thought the weak churches will
be advertised as doing a denomina-
tional and not a christian work, and
will be, forced to close up.
