We forgot that the same visitors who wonder at the mountains look also at the ereok. Many of them come from far places *vhere a running straam is almot unknown. No doubt they of ton think we take this gift of the master to'j much for granted --bet us change things around. !n stead of a place to throw trash, let'e make the creek a place of beauty.
