STRAIT FORD

With skating growing every Suita- ble day more popular at Judson's hundred skaters enjoying this great outdoor sport at one time, not to l mention many automobiles with spec 1 tators bordering the pond, the sug- | surrounding land be made the first l of a park system for Stratford, has | been heard not a few times.
 The beautiful new residential sec disc Green section within the last few years, in which nearly every piece of property is owned by the oc- cupant, could be much more readily ton if it could be possible for the town to acquire by purchase, lease, or agreement enough of the lana | bordering on the pond for a promen- ads, or driveway. A beautiful, easily accessible summer and winter park could be developed at a compara- | tive small cost. Small shelters where skaters might receive warmth and refreshments would help wonderfully | to make the spot attractive, and in | summer this sheet of water, dotted | by canoes, would make a. spot for the town to be proud of. The idea cer- tainly seems worthy of serious | thought
