The Severyite - March 4, 1937......
O.D. Harvey, Bartlesville, Okla., has an announcement in this week's paper about his skating rink in Howard. According to Mr. Harvey, he also has the largest Kansas rink in Independence. At Howard he has all new equipment and promises an orderly crowd at all times. An additional feature is free instructions to lady skaters.

Anyone know where the skating rink was located in Howard?

I know that the building just north of Lannings Auto used to be a skating rink. I also believe that there was one on the east side of Wabash, but not sure where it was.

That would be something to see. Two middleaged women roller skating.

Make that THREE middle-aged women! Skating is great fun! I haven't been on rollerskates in years, but it's just like riding a bicycle, right? Oh wait...I used to fall off my bike a lot. So.....would admission to the skating rink include the pillow you strap to your butt?
