If anyone at telephone information 411 is re a ding this article - please be ad- vised that' there is such asectionaof Whitby known as "Almonds"!t We k n ow b e c ause we found out the hard.way. The Free Press sleuths it ail began with an anonymous tele- phone caîl to the Whitby Free Press. Ilr ead in the papers aI I about the pol1l1uted we lis in Whitbyls corridor ar eal', said the voice on the other end of the telephone 1 ne.

The telephone caller told us ta con- tact a Mr. Graham in Almonds, that-he w/ould be able ta teli us ail about it. But before vve could get ta Mr. Gra- ham , we wouId first have to discover which of the eight Mr. Grahams I isted in theWhitby section of the telephone dir- ector was Mr. Graham of Almonds, as wel1et the ananymous caller ring off before finding out, and that's where aur problem began. Weputout a few "Ifeelers"l on Friday afternoon by asking visitors ta the Free Press office, "Do you know which streets are in the Almands section cf tawn ?Il The more of ten we mentioned Al monds thel1ess conf ident We became that such a place really did exist. For examp le, l"Alrnonds?Il "No, neyer heard of it,"I was the most ready answer to our eager questions.

"IJu s t as I thought,"I was-Mr. New- man's curt reply. Remembering this excerpt of a part- icular council conversation did much to encourage us, because let's.face it - if t he Mas/or of t he Town of Whitby said there was an Almonds - then dash it al - there just simply had to be one!! !
