the summer time believe it or not its true tennis as a sport here in town is enjoyed fay comparatively few for reasons i will never know hence these courts are not used to a zreat extent in the summer this winter however a few enterprising men hit upon the idea of flooding the tlat surface and transform ing it into an outdoor hnk available to both boys and sirls through the generosity of harold murphy a tractor and snow plow was obtained and with ken vagg at the wheel the surface was cleared of all ioose snow fire chief bui malloy assisted by messrs fred castle and daws vvagg put the foundation hood on the courts messrs ted cadieux tat aida and walt smith have since taken over the caretaking duties of the rink and every evening they spend between three and four hours shovelling
