Montague Rink Nears Readiness

MONTAGUE —- The Montague hockey and skating rink ev- pects to be in full swing by Christmas with the first skate on Christmas Eve or possibly in the afternoon.

Kenneth MacPhee and Lloyd Fraser. the managers of the rin . which is now owned by Irving Oil Ltd.. are two well- own sportsmen and business men of the town and have been flooding and preparing the rink for the past two to three weeks. If the temperature stays near where it is now skating for Christmas eve is assured.

For sometime it was feared the community might be with- out facilities for hockey and skating for this winter. how- ever MacPhee and Fraser in- dicated earlier in the year they would perhaps operate the old hockey rink. Permission was granted to them to do so by the owners for the 1964-65 winter season.

It is the hope of the Com- munity Welfare League Limit- ed members. former owners of the rink. to be able to begin erecting a new $65,000 ‘ k fore next season. Negotiations are going on at the present

time with the Montague Town d

Council to see just when and how the necessary money can be raised.

The league currently has ap- proximately 825.000 from the sale of the old rink which is

winter works program which would save the community a considerable sum. The league is expected to make an an- nouncement on the matter shortly.
