Six skates, generously fo kaling party on more pairs of donated by an Alexis Creek friend promised more lessons for our beginners. Low temperatures held up right until Sunday, when a blithe south wind and sunny skies melted our ‘rink’ in short order. Valley folk proved their ‘switchability’, gathering at Circle X equipped with skates. to- boggans, and bats and balls. A diamond was charted on the bare hayfield with pellet-sack bases.

A few spare folk entertained the tiny tots on swings and toboggans. Plenty of refreshments and pots of coffee around tiie camp fire terminated the ball game. (And a reported aftermath of stiff muscles was gen- eral among participants). And that about ends our social endeavors for awhile. HOMER ARCHERS’ CAR became stuck on his return home that night, a forerunner of the many vehicles to have been stuck in our ruts since then. Strong winds and mounting temperatures have claimed our good winter road, trading in its place a hopeless bog, that only a_ tractor dare venture through. Five families south of the new store are virtually marooned by it. Children from the South end missed school Thursday when the gallant vehicle which es- corts them daily, slid off and high- centred at the beginning of the six- mile run. The bi-weekly mailstage was stuck four times in the valley before disgorging its mail at the P.O. today.
