Oak Hill, Complete With Ski Tow and Plenty of Snow, Helps V-12 Trainees Forget the Rigors of "Flu" and "the Watch"

WINTER IS HERE AS USUAL, and spring looks very far behind. At this moment, even a couple of feet of good sticky Hanover quagmire, with or without duckboards, would be welcome.

The latest snowfall has brought two ski tows back into operation after a season's vacation last year. The rope tow on the golf-course is something of a personality kid. It is a fitful machine, hauling us up and down those gentle slopes at fifty cents an afternoon with moderate regularity. After several weeks of temperament, it has, by latest reports, begun to function like the well known bat from below. The combined efforts of the Navy and the DOC have started the Oak Hill tow going, and so the sport is altogether in the ascendant once more.
