Memorial Rink Planned at Kiddies' Pay Park Site
The Memorial Rink site will be at the present Kiddies' Pay Park facing Main Street with a regulation ice sheet and ample spectator seating. Front of the building will include waiting rooms and Legion rooms plus a public hall and modern facilities. Cement bricks for the rink are ready and other materials are delivered. The committee does not seek an extravagantly costly building over $100,000, but aims for a lasting memorial to honor the Banner district.

The first organised drive for funds for the Memorial Rink will start this week. Citizens are asked to consider what amount they should give. The committee plans to erect a building with future utility and a credit to the community. Russell must have a link, but front design depends on funds received. The Memorial of World War II is planned to last at least 100 years and be largely self supporting.
