OFF FOR NATIONALS—Nineteen skaters from Roll-Land Skating Club, Norwood, are leaving for Lincoln, Nebraska, this week to compete in 26 skating events in the National Roller Skating Championships.
Some are defending their national titles and some are seeking new titles.
The Roll-Land Club always has made a good showing in the National skating events, and the local skaters have been eager to go this year to share the spotlight in the “Wide World of Sports” on T.V.
