KIPLING CENTENNIAL COMMITTEE OUR CENTENNIAL LOGO DESIGNED BY "FREDA ENGSTROM" I Our logo depicts a Scandinavian long ship which symbolizes the people from Sweden and Norway. Our ancestors came in 1893, settled around Deer lake, reminiscent of the home- land they left. Deer were plentiful and the early settlers relied heavily on these for survival. The pine tree represents the wondrous pine forests that stood -which was used for homes, furni- ture, cradles, and coffins. The hill on which our pine tree rests symbolizes "Saw Mill Hill" still there to-day. Kipling's first little industry started 1904. The fish were plentiful in Deer Lake and our restocking programs are working. The fish is also symbolic of the scandinavians love for herring - pickled or otherwise ! 3
