More Ie Skatinr Ponds Mrs. Avard Fairbanks, wife off ii - - & . i i ! uie iimgui sculpture, nvaiu mu- banks formerly ox Ann Arbor, Michigan, and presently Dean of the University of Utah's school of fine arts says she misses ice skating in Utah. Having a family fam-ily of eight boys, she says she has a trunk full of ice skates brought from Michigan and wonders where they can be used. "You need some ice skating ponds out here," she declares. In answer, it is pointed out that in the valleys, Utah's winters are ; so mild that the ice skating season sea-son is very brief. However, Utah's, ski-nic mountains ' furnish the. best skiing in the world, and Utah youngsters are so taken up with; skiing that they have little time for ice skating. j More Electrical Power Iron and Washington county citizens are calling a special meet ing to work out a means of solv ing the electrical power shortage in those areas.
