Poem ForMom You are the sunlight in my day, You are the moon I see far away. You are the tree I lean upon, You are the one that makes troubles be gone. You are the one who taught me life, How not to fight, and what is right. You are the words inside my song, You are my love, my life, my mom. You are the one who cares for me, You are the eyes that help me see.

You are the one who knows me best, When it's time to have fun and time to rest. You are the one who has helped me to dream, You hear my heart and you hear my screams. Afraid of life but looking for love, I'm blessed for God sent you from above. You are my friend, my heart, and my soul You are the greatest friend I know. You are the words inside my song, You are my love, my life, my Mom

A CASE FOR SELF HELP.

Our council is trying to be helpful. So at the recent meeting held at the Alton Downs Hall they were interested in our request for ideas for future development in the Alton Downs area.

With a united front presented to the council we are more likely to achieve greater progress. On the 4'h May at the next Rate Payers meeting, we will TRY to work out some sort of logical progress. Basically we are concerned about Roads, Rubbish and Rates. One at a time may be good fishing.

So come to the meeting if possible, or contact me (Peter Lawton) on 4934 1131 and I will try to put your case forward.

Just one step at a time and who knows!
