Start Work On
Skating Rink
Splendid Cooperation Given Solici
tors-Vets VIII Have Fine
Fund For Work

Work on the new skating rink
on Sank Lake was commenced last
week and those in charge will en-
deavor to bring 1t to completion as
soon as possible. Men are now
busy cleaning off the snow, and 1t
is possible that the rink will be
flooded later. 1t is also planned to
provide a warming house.
Solicitors, acting for the Veter-
ans of Foreign Wars, met with
splendid success and the sale of
tickets at the dance Tuesday night
was very good. The fund realized
from the sale of dance tickets will
probably reach 500. This will
leave a snug sum for the care of
the rink. The expense of the dance
amounted to approximately $500,
SO 1t can be seen that the Veterans
plan to use most Of the money In
the maintenance Of the rink.
The Veterans are to be commend
ed in this work and If they can pro-
perly maintain a skiting rink large
enough to care for the needs Of
Sank Centre they will need have
no fear of lack of public coopera-
ton. It is the beginning Of an era
of winter sports for Sank Centre
and the movement will receive the
greatest encouragement possible.

Gym Tonight, Thurs
day, Jan. 2

Taking their fifth straight win

ran up their count to 16 to stand
only two points behind the locals at
the intermission mark.

their total up to 20 pointers. In the
last quarter the locals went a little
wild and scored up to SO points to
put them definitely in the lead.
