PLYMOUTH RD. RINK TERMED INADEQUATE: Residents of the north side, as represented by the Northside Civic Association, want better ice skating facilities for their children. In a petition to the city council, the association said the present Plymouth Rd. pond (shown above in use by scores of youngsters) is too small, has no shelter or supervision and is dangerous because of the proximity of the trunkline US-12 highway. The north siders want an artificial rink put into use at the new North Side school. (Story on page 3.)
