Several at- tempts have been made to present the matter formally to the local gov- erning body, but each has been un- successful. Opponents of the change to an- other name point to other towns bearing similar names. The town of Beer in the west country did not de- rive its name from the beverage, but is an old form of “bear” meaning wood, the contend. Hence Conybeer means “the man whose wood is full of rabbits.” TRANSPORT IS READY Henderson Al Stocked and Fueled to Take on 800 Bluejackets.
