will take their place at @ special table
of honor for all owners of herds that
had an average of 350 pounds of butter-
fat or over at the beginning of 1929,

Sk&ting ‘stil continues as the major
outdoor attraction just now, and the
{ce is at its best. Every afternoon and
evening sees crowds of youngsters en-
joying the. fine stretch of ice at the
Abbotsford mill, and after the day's
work many fathers and mothers ‘join
in the frolic. Ivan Armstrong, the
Abbotsford hatdware man, seems to
be champion exponent of the fancy
gliders, his exposition of the Dutch
roll, cut, figure eight, and hockey
swoop arousing the admiration of the
rising generation, But the young tads
are improving fast, and Ivan will also
join the has-beens if the ice stays
good much. longer,
