First Londesboro Scout Group Committee met at the manse on Thursday evening. David Overboe Sharpen your skates by Audrey Middleton It's time to hunt out the 'skates and check if they still fit. The 1978-79 figure skating season is about to begin. The importance of the good fitting skating boot can't be emphasized enough. There must be just enough room in the toe area to wiggle your toes, but in the heel area you shouldn't be able to move your heel up and down. Tie your laces tightly to the ankle, then com- fortably up the leg. Remember to tuck the ends in the top of the boot for a tidy appearance. New skates need sharpening so check last year's blades. If you walked without guards on cement or on other. surfaces your edges will not be keen anymore. Have them sharpened by your local skate shar- pener or if you're in an intermediate ask assistance from your teacher or someone on the executive. Last Saturday was registration day at the town hall. So far, secretary Carol Fox registered nine seniors, seven intermediates, 14 juniors and 12 beginners. Last year there were more than 100 skaters that registered so this year there is still room for more members. There will be another registration day on Saturday, October 14' at the Clinton town hall from 10 a.m. until noon.
