SAnting Coed
/ Ice skaters are certainly enjoying
themselves these days. and evenings
oil the ponds arOand Milton. The
Wagamon pond is the mecca for the
younger set Of Milton, while a num-
ber are making nightly trips q
Waples Pond, two miles north o.
town. where the ice is unusually
smooth. Bonfres at night are buill
on the shores and a crowd Of non
skaters gather about and watch the
capers OF the skaters.
chimney Fires
There have been several chimney
fires during the past few days that
could have been avoided II the
chimneys had been cleaned in early
winter. Every run by the fire COM
pany costs them around $l0-aside
from time lost from their work by
the fremen. To save one dollar,
householders compel the fire com
Bany to spend SO. Think of IT,
Why not have an ordinance compel
ling the cleaning Of all chimneys by
November IS, and an inspection by
the hremen soon after that date?
