STILL TALK SKATING

The chamber of commerce "skat-
ing committee is still busy, and
while it will now be impossible to
proceed with the construction of
rink on the tract between the n, P
and O.-W r. & n. railroad tracks
until next spring, other methods OF
providing skating facilities for this
winter have been proposed and will
be employed if found to be feasible
In Canada many Kinks are made by
sprinkling water on crusted snow
and permitting it to freeze. It has
been proposed to level off the snow
on the Community lots and make
rink of this kind and the plan is
being investigated by the commit
tee. Sentiment is unanimous in ia
vor of a permanent rink, however
and without doubt the dam to Hood
the tract will be constructed next
spring.
