The weather man played a mean 
trick on the Manchester ice dealers 
this week. He sent the thermometer 
down within a few degrees of zero 
iast Saturday and the ice began to 
thicken up promisingly. The Man- 
chester Ice Co. scraped their pond in 
back of the high school. and then the 
weather warmed up suddenly and 
Wednesday’s storm put a crimp in 
the prospects of early cutting. Last 
year ice 101% inches thick was cut on’ 
January 20. The ice is now nine or 
to inches thick.
