Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: It's Kelso Lake; believe it or not. Bleached tree stumps and mud dried into great cracks occupy the 40 acres that used to be Kelso Lake; which is part of the Halton Region Conservation Authority's Kelso Park; near Milton. The lake has been drained so workmen can lay pipes on what was the bottom to feed a pumping station being built on the shoreline. Paul Watts; 11; and Mike Verhallen; also 11; play and climb stumps in an area where the water is normally 20 feet deep. The competition for the Canadian water ski championships was held on sparkling Kelso Lake; this past summer.
