--- WITH IRENE

Here we are, surrounded by jeeround, disaster struck and somelow

and snow, and I nave to admit that I can neither skate nor ski. ‘Not that I haven't tried skating, much to my regret, and hope to try again, much to my inner disgust.

I supopse we all hope to be as efficient and capable as those won- derful people whom we on the side- lines admire. We see ourselves glid- ing over the ice, or salooming (or whatever it is they do) down a snowy slope, with graceful ease — put somehow it never turns out that vay when we try it. ;

Propably a lot is due to an inferi- ority complex. When the New West- minster ice arena opened, I’ along with several thousand others rushed madly down to try out this new (10 us) sport. Neither my brother nor I, being born and brought up at the coast, had had the opportuaity of Jearning to skate.

My first visit was just what you might expect. Ignominously I stag gered around, grimly holding on to anyone who would consent to be my prop, or failing that, the good-old railing.

My brother, on the other hand, strapped on his skates glided on to the ice — and-away, just as he had boasted he would do. Most annoying!

Of course anyone who learned to skate in that arena did it the hard way for many times the ice was cov ered with an inch of water, and to fall down represented a refreshing soaking of -— well a soaking. At other times, the huge crowd of skating enthusiasts wore the ice down in

~jarge ruts and laid bare the freezing

T found myself stretched lengthwise gazing with complete surprise at the overhead lights,

Sitting up I waited with confideaca for someone to assist me to my feet. (1 had seen this happen many times before and always some gallant und handsome young fellow would assist the stricken damsel). Minutes. went by and hundreds of busy feet whizzea by me. Turning and facing the sks ers as they approached, I smiled my most helpless and beguiling smile. As titters from the sidelines siarve.l

to swell to hearty laughs, it w: ap- Parent that I was being avoided as just another rut by the passing s: = ers, and any assistance would have to come from myself.

How I got to my feet successfully and successfully hobbled with erina- son face over to the comfort of the railing, I'll never know — but some- how I made it.

I never visited the Arena many times after that, but confined my skating to the rare times when Bur- naby Lake froze over. Skating ca the smooth, gleaming surface of a lake is altogether different from ar- tificial ice and I was expounding this theory to a group of friends one day as we stood on the ice, when sudden- ly I found myself in sitting position. The ice was smooth indeed that di — and I wasn’t even skating.

The subject of skating never fails to remind Clive, an ex-prairie-ite, of the joys of skating to the strains of the ‘Skaters Waltz’ and then waiking

pipes. For an amateur to hit one of these hazards, it spelled their down- fall indeed.

That's what happened to me one night. A girl friend and I had been making the circle tour, clutching at each other, but finally decided we would make the supreme test —. and go around by ourselves.

And so I started out. Once I went around the big arena by myseli. Twice I made the great trek and my confidence grew by leaps and bounds. Shuecks there was nothing to this — I would go round again!

That's where I made my dig mis- take. I should have stopped waen I was two laps ahead. On my third

But we get even by recalling old boy friends and how we sloshed around in the cool misty rain with them!
