PHONE 563 $7.00 $6.50 $5.75 CITY TO ASSIST IN THREE SKATING RINK PROJECTS MANY CALLS ARE RECEIVED ASKING FOR FREE WATER Continued Cold Weather Is Needed for Plan, Says City Manager Croioot. City officials plan to give aid in the making of skating rinks at both East and West" parks and at the municipal rock quarry, which are probably the outstanding- skating rink locations of any place in the city, as soon as freezing; weather conditions are steady enough to permit work on rinks, according to City Manager E.

H. Crofoot Thursday. The city manager has been besieged with calls trom various sections of the city for the city to furnish water for public and private rinks. "We couldn't pump water enough or take care of all the rinks we have been asked to build." sain City Manager Crofoot. "And it is impossible to build a rink on bare ground unless we have a longer period of freezing weather than we have had at any time since the building of the Kiwanis club rink about 10 years ago." lauds Knvanis Rink.

The rink Mr. Crofoot referred to was constructed in the Central school yard by labor furnished by the Kiwanis club. An exceptionally long spell of freezing weather made possible a good coating of ice. Mr. Crofoot stated that he believed this had been the most satisfactory rink established here.

"Although some of the river towns are advocating the'building of rinks, they have the natural conditions for good rinks," said Mr. Crofoot. "City officials here are willing to respond to such demands when the building of rinks is at all practical. The city, however has no funds for this, since the Beatty-Bennett bill reduced our revenue to the point where even the fund for the removal of snow from the streets has been cut out. "Prom years of experience, we have found that it is not only impractical but almost impossible to maintain a satisfactory rink on the ground, at least until after the January thraw.

Kink Short Lived. 'The most satisfactory rink ever sponsored in the city. I believe, was the Kiwanis club rink constructed several years ago. Although mem- 'bers JQf" the club "were enthusiastic to sponsor the movement, they were soon convinced that it was a much more laborious and expensive undertaking than they had expected it to be. Although weather conditions were more favorable at that time than at any time since, the rink was short-lived." For the past few days City Manager Crofoot has been besieged with calls, including some from committees of local organizations and the local schools, seeking the help of the city and federal relief aid.

Mr. Crofoot explained that so far neither labor nor capital of any kind has been made available for such a project as the building of a. skating rink. "Christmas Baby" New Idea of Play, Staged by Dr. DeSart Of all Christmas programs held in the city probably the most original was that including a.

one act play written by Dr. Roy F. DeSart, which was presented at the First M. E. church Christmas eve.

The program, which was sponsored to raise funds for the White Cross, Methodist organization for the aiding of sick in hospitals, used the play, "Christmas Baby," as the center of interest on the program. Dr. DeSart, who has played the part of Seth Parker many times locally, wrote the play around the character of an old bachelor, more or less soured on himself and the world, and a niece, the daughter of his run-away sister, who married a "picture fella." The sister is being cared for at a hospital on the coast. The niece is the "Christmas Baby." whom the sister sent to the grumpy bachelor to care for. The character was played by Jean Barclay while Dr.

DeSart played the part of the bachelor. Flashes of humor and pathos came quickly near the close of the play when the old man realized that years have passed since the sister ran away. In stead of an infant which he expected to welcome to his home a grown young woman greeted him as the "Christmas 3aby." Characterizations in the play were were given well, the heighth of interest being reached when the bachelor read from a letter from his sister relating the World war experiences of the father of the child.
