SKATERS
OUT IN WEEK,
SAY OFFICIALS
Rest Room Facilities Crowded
Both Saturday and.
Sunday

1t is estimated that 5000 skaters
have used Paxtang, Twelfth and
Wildwood during the past week. 1t
is a pity that many more have not
availed themselves of this opportun-
ity to fight off influenza and have
good lime in the bargain, park au-
thorities say. At Wildwood Saturday
and Sunday the rest room facilities
were crowded. At PaXtang the cozy
building there was filled.
There is no winter house at Twelfth
street, but the guard in charge there
keeps good fire burning and plenty
of benches around it to toast the
shins of those who get cold feet.
