Laat SeYaa Da,a ia J.-r, Wat· ., aesa Larpat Att.Mkace at TwoLarpPoada During the seven days intervening from Tuesday, Januar:y 23, to Tuesday, January 31, some 12,600 people skated on Wilmette's two ice rinks, official records at the Wilmette Playground and Recreation board show. This record is unexcelled in any previous seven day period of either this season or last season, and all these skaters were on the rinks sometime between 3 o'clock in the afternoon and 9 o'clock in the evening on the days mentioned. These hours are the only hours when the rinks are open to the public and an · official is on duty. The intervening hours are devoted to flooding and scraping the ice for the afternoon and evening. The ice now is in the best condition that recreation officials can recall and Daniel M. Davis, director of recreation, expressed himself as highly pleased with the record the caretakers and workers have attained in caring for the two ponds this season. Beat oa North Shore "There has been skating · at one or the other of the ponds on every day that the thermometer has been at the freezing point and often there has been skating at Wilmette Public rinks when there was no ice skating available on the north shore," Mr. Davis said. "An exceptional record was achieved on the day before the Ice Carnival, January 21," he continued. "Up until noon of the day before, it was too warm to even think of flooding the rink. Then the sudden cold wave came and men were immediately set to work at the Village Green, where the carnival was to be staged, and by the feat of flooding all night and in the early morning, · we managed to have the ice sufficiently smooth to hold the meet, a task that Elmer Williams, once national distance skating champion and referee of the carnival, pronounced as impossible to accomplish." Two shifts of men are kept busy at both rinks, Mr. Davis said, and as long as the weather permits the ponds will be kept in first class condition. Keep Perfect Order Another noteworthy point concerning the Wilmette ice rinks, the recreation officials point out, is the one hundred percent orderliness on the rinks and in the warming shelters. Not ,a single violation of the rules governing the skating rinks has been reported to the board to date this year. And another item of interest is the number of adults to be found on the rinks in the afternoon. A great number of women form neighborhood parties and skate on the ponds during the afternoon and are joined there by the children after school hours. CHURCH ltl'I'ENDANCE Christian fellowship is, indeed, a high calling This lofty privilege stirs a divinity within us in a manner that ultimately leads to holiness. Our Savior's cause is worthy· of earnest seekers after righteousness. We cannot demonstrate our tarnestness in this regard better than by a regular attendance at church and by partaking in its activities. Salvation is free to all who will truly answer the Savior'.s call. When once we have answered his call let us never neglect or shirk the duties it lays upon us to assist in augmenting his kingdom.
