FEATURE SKATERS AT THE 'Magic of Christmas'
presentation by the Howick Figure Skating Club Sunday
afternoon were Carol Wheeler and Blaine Moore of the
Allingham Figure Skating Club. The two are Ontario Novice
Pairs champions for 1975- 76. They put on a dazzling display
of skating which had the large crowd applauding
continuously. They were brought back for an encore in
which they performed some of the intricacies of
free skating without music.
Thank you, friends.
A dry tree is a fire hazard. If
needles drop, you'll be wise to get
another tree. � R F F N "� M F eT M erg K FT 4%
