Meadow Lane are recovering from the after effects ( of the explosion that ripped out their front door and large picture window early Saturday morning, Jan. 24. Kay was visiting her mother in Cadillac, Mirfi. when it happened and lucWly Wally escaped injury. The interior of their home was badly damaged and a new furnace had to installed. We all extend our sympathy to Kay and Wally and hope that they won't be inconvenienced too long with repair work. It is too bad that something so terrible had to happen to such nidi? people as Kay and Wally. The heavy snow forced a cancellation of the figure skating events and the hockey game between the 'teen agers and adults. All in all everyone who joined in or just stood by and j watched had a good time. Our ' thanks to Don Dobeoki, Ed i Pfingst'en and Ed Dowd for I their efforts.
