Sled Tow
Proves Big
Rec Item
The sled tow, considered just an
experiment at first, has developed
into a sound operation according
to Bob Bonney, part, and recrea
tion director, and the recreation
department has plans for improv
ing the facility.
The tow operates on the hill at
Conger Field, which provides a
run of about 800 feet from the top.
Bonney said that as temperatures
get colder and the snow slicker,
it is hazardous to slide from tne
top, so at 4 p.m. Sunday, the tow
operated, only from halfway up
the hill.
t The recreation department's ex
perience so far Indicates the
need for three different funs: one
for beginners and very young
children, one for the more cour
ageous and one for tobagganers.
Bonney said plans were being
made to smooth out the three runs
next summer.
The department also contem
plates building railings at the top
of the hill to help people move
from the end of the tow to the sled
run, and to help control sleddcrs.
The sled tow was made possible
by local business men who donated
materials, labor and "know-how"
to fabricate it. The tow is one of
the most recent recreation depart
ment projects to come into exis
tence. - It was constructed last
year but improper conditions pre
vented its use.
Bonney quoted out of town ski
ers are describing the ski run at
Moore park as "the finest ski run
in the stats with proper snow con
ditions." The fact that it is near home, in
the city limit, makes it particu
larly attractive, according to the
recreation director.
. Mr. and Mrs, Ed Chubb operate
the ski tow, - . ,

meal was suicide, the writer.
played by Arthur Edwards, willed
his estate to the young doctor, but

of other clinging wraiths who threw
the household into an uproar.
