i—
N»J
NO WISE QUACKS, PLEASE—A duck (insert) which came in
for a landing on "The Bal," a creek in West Conshohocken, was res-cued
by fireman after his breast feathers froze and locked him in the
ice. Howard Carter Daywait (r.), a George Clay Co. fireman, holds the
duck moments after the rescue. Windy Helenski, a Swedeland Co.
fireman, is sculler of the rescue craft. A woman called firemen to tell
them that a duck was trapped in the ice-covered creek Tuesday morn-ing.
Clay and Swedeland firemen teamed up for the rescue. The duck
was taken home to thaw out by Vicki Lynn Mclntyre, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. William Mclntyre, 230 Balligo Rd., West Conshohocken.

Sewer Authority. Both vacancies
had previously been held by Re-publicans.
The appointments were made dur-ing

Borough Council.
The new Councilman is John

No Parking Tickets
During Yule Season
A custom that started in Con-shohocken
four years ago will
continue this year. And it means
a real break for many Christ-mas
shoppers.
Conshohocken Police will not
ticket cars that violate parking
meter regulations on Fayette St.
between now and Christmas.
Instead, police officers place a
"Holiday Greeting" on the car
that tells the driver the missing
fine is a Christmas gift from
the borough.
