IS thinking about having a pool and billiard tournament with the Milford Wheel club next month.
 Now that skating has begun. a num- Der of the young folks are complain ing because they are not allowed to skate, on Judson's pond. This is by all means the largest and best pond around, but last year skating was prohibited there because certain ffel- lows forgot that the ice which is cut from the pond has to be pure for the purposes to which It Is put. They seemed to think that sticks, stones, tobacco juice etc, all go toward mak- ing pure ice. Perhaps if the fellows would have a, little patience and give the owner time enough to fill his ice houses with good ice, which would not take a great while, he would then permit them to envoy themselves on the pond.
