To George 1Butler for looking after the cabin and keeping on fires so it would be warm for skaters to put on and take off their skates. Newcastle Skating Rink was made possible through the efforts of a group of interested citizens. The Rink was started last year at the south end of the Park, bor- dering on the highway. This year it was enlarged to a size of 60 f t. by 120 ft., and enclosed by a 4-ft. fence, the boards of which were painted White through the kind- ness and generosity of J. A. Smith. The average citizen doesý not realize the enormous amount of work and planning that was neceSSary to make the rink what Il is today. Ail owe a debt of gratitude to the unselfish bard working members of the Associa- tion who have been responsible for bringing such a lot of pleasure and recreation to both children and adults by making the rink possible. This excellent committee con- sists of T. H. Manes, President; Miss Pauline DeLine, Sec'y-Treas; P. Hare, lst Vice Pres.; H. Ward, 2nd Vice Pres.; also John Rickard, George Walton, Earl Walton, Stanley Graham, Mrs. Douglas Wright, Donald Jose. The funds for the rink were raised by dances, bingo games ,etc., under auspices of the committee. Committee responsible for the success of the carnival were: T. H. Manes, George Walton, Chairman; Mrs. Douglas Wright, Miss Pau- line DeLine, H. Ward, Percy Hare, Earl Walton, F.
