Ron Simcoe, acting manager of the arena,| said that at times as many as) five schools are on the ice. This) includes children who are not! masters of the art of skating) lyet, as well as more advanced! skaters. Bill Kurelo, chairman lof the committee felt that: some jdegree of hazard was created iby this situation. "We should do something about it" he said, "'if it is only; {to prevent one accident." | | A motion was passed to the jeffect that the board of educa- tion would be approached for |suggestions. Tentative plans for an exten- jsion to the arena are now under |study by the commission.
