    • Haarlem (Dutch pronunciation: [??a?rl?m] (listen); predecessor of Harlem in English) is a city and municipality in the Netherlands. It is the capital of the province of North Holland. Haarlem is situated at the northern edge of the Randstad, one of the most populated metropolitan areas in Europe; it is also part of the Amsterdam metropolitan area, being located about 15 km to the west of the core city of Amsterdam. Haarlem had a population of 161,265 in 2019.

      Haarlem was granted city status or stadsrechten in 1245, although the first city walls were not built until 1270. The modern city encompasses the former municipality of Schoten as well as parts that previously belonged to Bloemendaal and Heemstede. Apart from the city, the municipality of Haarlem also includes the western part of the village of Spaarndam. Newer sections of Spaarndam lie within the neighbouring municipality of Haarlemmermeer.

    DENDEKKER PASSENDER IN ; Fatal Accident on Lincoln Highway Blackwood residents were shocked to hear of the death of Eddy den Dekker last Tuesday morning, 12th October, as a result of an accident. The car in which he was a passenger overturned on the Lincoln Highway, 25 miles south of Whyalla. Eddy came from Holland fourteen years ago and had lived most of that time in Belair and Blackwood, working for Mr. Dean Light, until recently. Those who knew Eddy know that he was a tremendous worker,w whatever job came his way was tackled with insight and energy. His latest venture was building an extensive pigeon loft from which he has been racing his pigeons. He was a member of the South Suburban Pigeon Club and his widow, Lorraine, is most grateful to those fellow members who have rallied around to help with the pigeons. We would like to express our deepest sympathy to Lorraine, their two children, Sharon and Dion; father, Mr. A. den Dekker of Belair and all the rest of his family and friends.
