winter sports and much closer
to good places than many towns

many years on the ski hill just
on the south edge Of town, it is
hoped that project to build road
to Treasure mountain, where there
always is snow during the winter
can. be successfully promoted a
committee composed Of Lee Har-
mon, Norris Adams. and R. w
Smithberger was appointed to en-
list the support Of other local clubs
for this project A skating ponc
near the Club house was also dis.
cussed for some time in the future
