     For a number of winters crowds gathered here to skate and 
     
     the boys from the Red Point Hockey Team practiced here until 
     
     money was collected and an outdoor rink was built near the main 
     
     highway on land owned by Neil MacLellan. This, too, was given 
     
    
   
   
    
     ip and in recent years the Eastern Kings Arena, Souris, is the 
     
     centre for skating and hockey. 
     
    
   
   
    
     A small Roman Catholic church structure was built many 
     
     'ears ago near the Red Point School and a service was held every

     The East Baltic—Red Point Hall was built in 1911. This

     young people's meetings, concerts, and public meetins have all 
     
     been held here.

     Service Station 
     
    

    
     A service station is owned and operated by Ross (Johnny) 
     
     Young who did this type of work earlier in Montague and in 
     
     Ontario. He started working for himself in 1952 and in 1954 
     
     built a new station. Work on cars, trucks and all types of 
     
     machinery is carried on here, as well as welding and pipe thread—

     Black Pond 
     
    
   
   
    
     Black Pond was also known by the Gaelic name of Loch Dhu 
     
     from the blackness of the shadows in it. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Names of early settlers were MacInnis, MacDonald, MacLellan, 
     
     Campbell and Sutherland. 
     
    
   
   
    
     John MacLellan at one time owned the land now occupied by 
     
     the Ching Families, and Black Pond hill had been named 
     
     MacLellan's hill at first. He was Neil and Lauretta's grand— 
     
     father. The Chapman property was also owned by Mr. MacLellan. 
     
    
   
   
    
     The original machinery from the Anderson mill at North Lake 
     
     was sold and set up at Acorn's mill, Black Pond, owned later by 
     
     Frank Warren.
