The foundation is very good and with 'the weather such as last night 2 below zero, it will not take long to have a good depth of ice to withstand any thaw that might happen • From now 'on unless very unusual weather is in the offing the arena should be going full blast for the bal- ance of the season. It was too bad for all the children who received new skates at 'Christmas that they were unable to use them over the 'holidays.
