**TOWN PLANS BIKE ROUTE, LANE TO BE MARKED**
A very exciting notice has arrived from the Town Hall! They plan to paint a bike route down Huckleberry Lane next Wednsday to connect with Elm Street. The paint will be green, or possibly blue. The DPW asks that cars be moved off the street by seven in the morning. This is a wonderful improvement for our young cyclists like Sam.
**DOBROWSKI TWINS TO HOST ANNIVERSARY TEA**
Frank and Franny Dobrowksi are celebrating the 50th anniversary of their move to #5! They have kindly invited everyone to a tea this Sunday at three o'clock. There will be cake and a display of family photographs from 1965. Or was it 1964? A lovely time is promised.

NOTICE 429. It has come to the attention of the Association that the Herald has misprinted the offer of historical review. The correct grade of the 1993 Arbor Day demonstration was, per the program, the fourth grade. An errata sheet will be circulated. Appointments for review are available Monday through Thursday, by prior arrangement only. Walk-ins will not be permitted.

To the editor of the Herald. Regarding the erratum: the 1993 Arbor Day picnic was held on May 2, not May 1. I have the barometric log for that week, and a reading of 29.92 inches. The demonstration was indeed by the fourth grade, but it was scheduled for 2:00 p.m. and began at 2:17. The discrepancy is noted in my records for that year. Whether this constitutes a walk-in appointment, I cannot say.
As logged. R. Halvorsen, #11Sharp

NOTICE 430. It has come to the attention of the Association that certain meteorological records are being used to challenge the official historical timeline without an appointment. The barometric pressure on May 1, 1993, was duly recorded elsewhere. The program, stamped and filed, specifies May 1. The seventeen-minute delay in the demonstration is a matter of record, but it does not alter the date. The Association will not entertain a debate conducted via atmospheric data.

FRANNY: Oh Bev and her stamped programs, she has a whole closet of them, none of them right. FRANK: The demonstration was late because the cake was frosted wrong, the squirrel got into it, I have the photo. FRANNY: That was 1963, not 1993, you're mixing picnics again. FRANK: I am not mixing, the squirrel was a recurring theme. FRANNY: It was one squirrel, Frank, and his name was Nibbles. FRANK: There was no name. FRANNY: Give me the keyboard, I'm getting the album to show her the frosting and the date on the back. FRANK: The back says 1964. FRANNY: That's your handwriting and you can't read your own numbers.
FRANNY: That's all. FRANK: It isn't.Furious
