The change of place name that I object to most strongly is the change from Lake Jolly to Lake Jolie. My mother was born at Lake Jolly back in the days when it was a busy mill site with a clothespin factory and a sawmill. She told me that the place was named after a man named Jolly who was the first settler there. Some wise person decided otherwise and fifty years later changed the name to Lake Jolie.
