Icels oe It’s Never Too Looking for a new activity the whole family can enjoy? Go to the nearest ice rink— and these days, that’s fairly close. A blizzard of indoor ice rinks (an estimated 18%- 20% nationally) is springing up in neighborhood shopping centers alone. Ice skating has something for everyone. Girls specialize in figure-skating. Boys can play on a neighborhood ice hockey team. Adults who pre-~ fer their skating smoother and easier may eventually want to glide into ice danc- ing. The entire family may simply choose to skate around for a few hours just for the fun of it. Any age can play. Three to five-year-olds comprise the youngest children’s class at many rinks, Adults in their forties and fifties are cer- tainly not too old to learn and enjoy this invigorating sport. With some instruction and regular practice, nearly everyone can learn to skate smoothly and gracefully. Don’t afraid of falling! Falling ‘own on ice is much less dangerous than falling down in your own home be- cause on ice you'll slide as you fall. One of the first things beginners learn is how to fall correctly and get up again. Practicing this a few times does wonders for your confidence. If you are interested in learning to skate well, be- ware of rental skates. These get such hard use that the” your ankles any support. Good and well-fitted equip- ment is so important in ice skating that it is recommend- ed for every member of the family to own his or her skates. Boots and blades should be fitted by a profes- sional at an ice shop rather than a department store or general sporting goods store. Don’t make the mistake of buying children’s boots too by Richard\Andrasko The Meyers Mohawks downed the Lake-Lehman Knights’ matmen Saturday by a score of 35-14 in a hard-fought match held at the Lake-Lehman gym.

These same stores may be able to sell you a second-hand pair of skates in good condition too. Tell the salesperson just what kind of skating you plan to do, and he will suggest the right equipment for you. : Want a new party idea? Rent the ice rink after hours, and invite friends over for a game of Broom Ball. The rink will supply the ball, which looks like a miniature volleyball. Each guest should bring his or her own broom after first wrapping the broom straws in tape all the way down (so straws won’t litter the ice and cause un- necessary spills). After skating invite friends back to your house for re- freshments: sandwiches, cookies and a mug of some- thing good and nourishing to drink. One of the nicest drinks to serve hot or cold is Carnation Instant Break- fast. Mixed with fresh whole milk, it gives a delicious en- ergy pickup after your morn- ing practice session of simple stroking and snowplow stops or a late-night game of Broom Ball. It’s never too late for Instant Breakfast, just as it’s never too late to learn to ice ckate. come out of the first half leading 29 - 24. the third period but Dallas again out-scored in the final period 25 - 18 to take the game 76 - 64. : S.
