 Herbert c. kaech of the Quinebaug Lake Ice company, which supplies Danielson, said Friday morning that there is ice inches thick covering Quinebaug lake, Two or three days more of cold weather will make the ice from 8 to g inches thick, and har- vesting will begin.

No ice was obtained there last year, but a few more days of cold weather right at this time will insure Danielson of an ample supply of ice for next summer.
