COUNCIL VOTES TO PREPARE TEMPORARY ICE SKATING RINK

The PT-A proposal that the city take over the groups ice skating rink project by providing and maintaining a site for this pur- pose was adopted in part by the Council last Wednesday on read ing the pertinent recommenda- tin of the City Planning Commis- sion.
 The recommendation of the Planning Commission suggested leasing of the lot on Matanuska Street between the library and the Church of God for tempor- ary skating rink this year and inquiry into the acquisition of a permanent site later. Suggested permanent sites included the school property directly east of the present school playground and a low area one block east, behind the property lines facing on Snodgrass Avenue. There are no fire hydrants that could be used to flood rinks on these sug gested permanent sites at the present time, but there is one on the suggested temporary site.
 The Council voted to see about getting permission from ARRC to use the lot on Matanuska Street this year and if permission is granted to have the site prepared for flooding by the city road maintainer. The Council did not vote to maintain the rink; it was stated in the discussion that some service group could take care of this function.

VOTERS MAY REGISTER FOR BLOOD TIPPING ON ELECTION DAY

As a part of the continuing program on blood typing in the Valley the Health Council will man a booth in Recreation Hall on election day to register people who would like to have their blood typed in a future clinic.
 For those who have already been typed, metal dog tags have been prepared by volunteer work CTS. The only expense to these tags is the cost of the chain, which is 15 cents. Some people have already picked up the dog tags from the Health Center. For those who have not, the tags will be available as they stop to vote.
 Tags have been prepared so far only for the adults who have talk en part in the blood typing pro- gram. As soon as a new supply of tags is received, they will be made up for the children typed at school last year.
