active, productive, and visible. Public
notices of denominational worship and
instruction are posted in the Rock Fluff.
All denominations welcome you.

they will respond to special requests.
They conduct driver tests for licenses.

TELEPHONE AND TELEX—The
Community is served by telephone and
telex.

And that is not all. The hunting is
good in the area, and so is the
fishing—as dictated by the seasons.
There is a picnic ground and barbecue
area on the banks of the Forty Mile
River, but still within the townsite boun-
dary. The snowmobilers get together in
the winter as do the motorbike riders
and the four-wheel drivers when the
summer sun arrives.

You might regard the activities and
facilities listed above as the “social
framework” of our community. They
increase or reduce depending on popu-
lar interest at any point in time. What-
ever is going on there is one thing to
remember—and that is that everything
is run by “people power.” Whatever is
available to the community someone or
some group has made it happen.

So, this is your invitation to enjoy our
community of Clinton Creek.
