PROSPECTS BRIGHTER
Committee Making Plans That viii
Garry Through Without Large
Amount OF Snow


The carnival construction committee
Is making good progress. The skating
rink is laid out on Benton's Pond and
banked with snow banks frozen at the
bottum into the ice 80 that il will
hold the flooding OF water which is to
be put on in two or three coats to
make surface that Will permit OF the
best of skating. This morning car
penters have started work on the con
struction OF the toboggan chute. The
ski-iump location has been selected
and Henry p Jones, has o. KID the
opinion Of the committee that the To-
cation IS suitaC.5 for a small jump.
Near the location of the toboggan
slide and ski-iump there are enough
old snow banks so that by moving
the snow short distances these two
features may be operated whether
more snow arrives or not Most of the
real weather experts In Bennington as
sure the committee that snow is due
to arrive this week. The failure of
snow to arrive in large quantities can
not keep Bennington from having a
good carnival, however. The skating
events. the trap shooting contest, the
wood chopplng and cutting contest and
the carnival ball do not depend upon
snow and other snowless features may
be arranged IL there Is no snow. The
school contests depending on snow
win be held later if lack of snow pre-
vents their being carried out as are
scheduled
