'WHOOPS' BOY MEETS ICE
This is one of the hazards to be faced by the youngsters and 'oldsters who take ad
vantage of the ice skating on pond in Pioneer Park. Here is little Mike Sater, 10, son
of Mr. and Mrs. Oarcy Sater if 905 Fourth Street in La Grande. Mike is down but
he seems to be enjoying it. The city Fire Department is spraying' the pond at night
and the city may provide lights. (Observer Photo by De Boie)
