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.)

Allmendinger Airview: From the air, skaters at the Allmendinger Park ice rink look about as big as ants, but it's pretty certain they are having a life-size good time. This view is looking east toward Edgewood Ave. Note pattern of tracks in snow around rink -- automobile, footprints and sleds, indicating lots of traffic to and from the rink. The current cold wave has kept the ice in the city's five outdoor rinks in good condition. Other rinks are at Burns, West, Northside School and Summit St.
