South Pack Square STREET RINKS MAY BE PROVIDED SOON Children who are denied the privilege of roller skating as a result of the strict enforcement of the nance forbidding this form of loco-; motion on the streets of the city need not be wholly cast down. Commissioner Ramsey, of the department of public safety, is considering the roping off of certain paved streets during portions of the day for use of the boys and girls whose residence in other parts of the city precludes the possibility of their using the concrete ring at the Montford school.

For some time policemen winked at violations of the anti-skating law but traffic has become so heavy that it has been found necessary to enforce it, for the protection of the young folks. Since instructions were isseud to permit no street skating, the Montford rink has been more than usually popular. However, it is the only place of the kind in the city, no other school being provided with such amusement places. Mr. Ramsey has familiarized himself with the success of the movement which has resulted in the closing of certain streets New York.

GREENSBORO, March who have returned from overseas do not look with favor on the demands various cities for parades, and several of them have expressed indignation that the American people should desire to slow a up the home-coming of soldiers in order to witness the spectacle.

Soldiers never like parades, they especially when they have been through the trials of war in France and are counting the minutes until they may reach home. And if there is any entertaining to be done, they add, it would seem that the civilians who remained at home should do it, not the soldiers who have done the fighting. However, they explain, they see no reason for ostentation on either side, and they are perfectly satisfied to reach home quietly without pomp or ceremony. "It is genuine selfishness for some of these cities to send delegates to Washington in direct opposition to the wishes of the men, themselves." one of the returned soldiers remarked. "While our division was in New York there was a request that we should parade and the commanding officer tested the sentiment of the men.

It found that no one wanted to be placed on exhibit, except, perhaps, A few who had been safe behind the lines during their stay in France. No the war is over now; let's drop all of this foolishness," he added, CARD OF THANKS.
