anyone can make any knowledge able suggestions wkata ih a name we can appreciate the sentiment be hind last weeks council resolution re naming the stream commonly known as the school creek to hendersons creek we doubt very much if there is much historical accuracy in the new name it is also difficult to determine how the stream can be hendersons creek from its source to fairy lake and then become black creek where it leaves the lake surely it is the same stream the earliest record we scanned gave the creek which was once a bubbly fresh stream the name acton creek the pond which once lay behind the present dills printing property was call ed the corporation pond not hendsr- sons pond according to actons early days the source of the stream is the spring on the third line a little over

love and a pair of rubber waders or some thing romantic like that which ivo boon hinting about for a month and which goes on my bill at the sports shop thon comes fathers day not longaftor and tho whole process is repoatod cards love a whltf of rospoct and somo golf balls or other sentimental token which see previous paragraphx i admit that its a lot of nuisance for the family but darn it thoro

of mucking about with cards paper and ribbon and trying to be decent to mo until at least noon and save money on the deal well i thought id go along with it ovon though i know i was being had i not only had a bath but went to church this tied in perfectly with the whole theme that it was not only birthday but also fathers day spurred by all the money she was saving my wife even romombored to got hor own father off a card and gift a uttle late as usual but sincerely felt nonetheless everything went according to schedule kim had stayed out later than i had sug gested on saturday night and i
