on the Winooski river and at Malletts
Bay. but the ice men are still hoping
to get in some more at the bay and
think they can IL the weather will stiffen
up sufficiently at night to cause a freeze
which will enable them to get on to the
ice. The Ice at the bay remains about

other years there nave been places
where ice could be bought, but there Is
no such chance this year, and almost
everywhere in the United States ice Is
scarcer than it is right here. Even Lake
Placid is not in a position to put out a
supply this year and that is an unheard-
of condition there.
