 Should a gift of nature be valued or destroyed? It may or may not be ours to cultivate; but is it not ours to preserve? Later others may carry on the good work. Many things may be destroyed and built again as good, or better than before, but of natural feature this is not true. We have so few to save. Should we take that which we can not give? Is it not for all who admire a beauty of nature to help preserve Diamond Ledge? Staf- ford has so few natural formations that Diamond brook alone stands out in beauty not easily surpassed. The cool and singing brook as it winds it's way through shady hooks and widens out into dainty little lake is ready to throw it's sparkling water over d dam not made by human hands. It is spot of rare beauty. May it long be so.
