Good Skating

The thermometer took a decided
rise Wednesday, and as result there
appeared to be many more people
about the streets. The cold snap of
the past few days has made skating
excellent on some of the nearby
ponds and while schools are closed
there is a good crowd to take advan-
tage of every opportunity to coast.
Single sleds are also beginning to
rake their appearance on the vari-
Gus hills about the city. and once
more the dangerous practice of chill
dren hitching their sleds onto the
rear of sleighs should be prevented.
There is danger of serious injury to
the children il the sleigh should
swerve suddenly.
