COLD SPELL HELPS COUNCIL ACHIEVE
One GOAL, ICE SKATING RINK AT PARK

The cold wave which struck
Marysville more than a week ago
may have its good points after
all, it was pointed out today by
William Huffman, chairman of
the Fire, Property and Police
committee of the village council.
Mr.. Huffman and his commit
tee have been working with the
idea of forming an ice skating
rink on the baseball diamond of
Big Four Park, but have had
trouble getting Mother Nature"
to cooperate, until this cold wave
struck.
A first try at forming the ar
tlflcal lake more than a month
ago proved unsuccessful as warm
weather melted the ice and soak
ed the flooded area after a short
freeze.
IF this cold weather stays with
us a little longer, however, a nice
pond will be waiting for the skat-
ers," Mr.. Huffman said. The fire
hydrant on the Playground cor
ner was turned on to flood the
diamond at the east end of the

is being done by the city en-
ployees in charge of Bert Lash,

More coats of water are to be
added if possible until a rink

ed that he was going to check in
to the possibility of having the
field lights turned on for some
evening skating.
One of the biggest thoughts
behind the artificial lake is to
provide a safe place for ice skat-
ing. THE deepest place at the
park will be 10 inches" Mr.. Huff

All who have a mind to go out
and attempt their skill at balanc-

softness of the ice, however, so
