Channel Skating The squeals of glee that were heard on the south side of the lake were those of the delighted youngsters who were ice-skating for the first rime this season. The ice in the channel has been tested and has proved satisfactory for skating. Don't be misled, tho, the last report on the lake itself was that as yet, it is not ready. The channcl is more shallow, and therefore provides more safety. Patient In more ways than one, John Sovsky has been patient. Patient in his ever suffering of asthma.
