al day satontayt chatting 0 dont know when ive en- joyed anything more than i did skating on the pond at the golf course a week ago sunday the youn gsters were anxious to go so in view of the fact that i was going to have to sit around till they were through any way 1 thought i might as well dust off the old blades and wobble around for a while myself but believe me my resolve was a little shaken for a moment or two when i lifted the skates and boots from their resting place in an ob scure comer of the basement they looked like antiques alright with their black boots and tube blades in my skating heyday we wouldnt have been caught dead with socalled ho ckey skates of which figure skates are merely a fancied up version how ever after i toted them upstairs and removed a few layers of the dust and rust they looked as if theyd operate all right so the skating was in for revival 0 1 must tell you in putting them away after their last ses sion lo these many years ago 1 carelessly left a pair of woollen socks in them as i gingerly extrac ted them expecting to see the moths in full possession or maybe even a mouses nest all that emerged from the dank samples was of our little or ange striped elder bugs that i men honed in chatting last fall there wasnt even a moth hole now how do you explain that when in spite of our best precautions the pesky things do sometimes get into our clothes closets 0 well we finally did get out to the pond and it was ideal as a matter of fact the three ponds were frozen over and they were being put to good use by the skaters the day was bright and comparatively warm the ice smooth er than i frankly expected it to be with no snow to complicate matters gliding around was practically eff ortless it was really fun i wouldn t have traded that day even for the sun kissed beaches of florida wonderful and actually necessary as arenas are when conditions permit there is no exhilaration more keen than that afforded by outdoor skat ing that fact is realized by lots of people who having a convenient out let for the hose make outdoor rinks in their jards much to the pleasure of their own and in most instances the neighbourhood children we have some good sports in our neighbour hood in the persons of the jack ham utons who are living in their recently completed brick bungalow on albert street jack is frequently on shift work and floods the rink at the back of his house when he comes home around sam then it is all nicely fro zen over for the children of the neigh bourhood by morning they had a wonderful time on it especially dur ing the christmas holidays the last time i remember skating outdoors was once when the credit which flows over the oam at the low er paper mill was solidly frozen right up to the glen road it was great sport to skate up and down its full length with nary a detour speaking op the credit river and i think i talked about it last week too 1 had a call from town engineer doug wilson asking if 1 knew the official name of the creek running through town down by the creamery someone had told him he thought it was beaver creek and still someone else had the idea it was silvercreek looking up the old halton atlas i found the creek was charted through town on the map bui there was no name affixed lo it and m the writeup on the town it was merely mentioned as a branch of the credit as far as i can ascertain the creek docsn t have an official title although it actually is the northern tributary of the west branch of the credit river when i mentioned this to engineer wilson he said he was afraid tbe map they were making was not big enough to permit tbe use of the official title it was suggested in view of the changing colours of the stream it might suitably be named rainbow creek 9 had another call too that might bear mentioning here it was from an indignant lady much in terested in georgetowns community swimimng pool who noticed that some thoughtless to put it mildly persons had dumped a can of garbage on the landscaped property behind the swimming pool its hard to believe that anonc would do such a thing but there it was let s hope it won t happen again noticed by the durham chronicle that they revived an ancient custom in durham on twelfth night this ear the burn ing of the christmas trees to the accompaniment of the town band the singing of christmas carols and a brief devotional service 300 discarded christmas trees made a blazing con flagration ln the wintry night sounds like a fitting ending to the glory of the christmas trees they always look so forlorn denuded of their baubles rolling around on the lawn or bump ing off to the garbage disposal in the back of the garbage truck editor george cadogan credits durhams ma jror for the inauguration of this old- country custom in durham the mail bag tely photographer praised for action of drowning january 16th 1956 i would like to pay tribute to the effort put forth recently on a sunday by russell cooper telegram reporter of brampton to locate the body of james lockhart whose life was lost at huttonville he worked unremittingly with the members of the provincial police de tachment brampton firemen and members of the armed forces in their difficult task i realize that mr cooper would not be desirous of any eulogy in respect to what he has done but in the words of one of the deceased relatives he worked for the recovery of the boys body as though it were one of his own nothing finer could be said of any mans effort appreciative bystander takes instruction at central tech tracy barrager
