The lakes at Moneague even appeared in a Gleaner cartoon
in
1934, about some now long-forgotten municipal issue; six
members of
the K.S.A.C.* (three Black, one Brown, two White?)
are shown urging the
unfortunate Mayor, Sir George Seymour
Seymour, to jump into the
'Colleague Lakes' where the 'Water
Board' is bobbing on the surface. The
Mayor is secured by a
rope around his neck (he is wearing a very
fashionable swim
suit!) and his colleagues are shouting 'Jump Off
Georgie! If yo
born fe heng, yo can't drown; if yo born fe drown, yo
can't
heng!!'
