Dominion Day Is More Than a Holiday
As in the ease with must of the other statutory holi-

come respite from the daily grind, Without any intention

Immunity the founding of their national constitutions—
but there are few peoples who can look back .with such deep
gratification to the opening chapter of their history. Soy.

in a bath of blood, as did France. Italy struggled for a gen-
ation to free herself from the domination of a foreign
master. Germany was born of he iron will and crack forces
of the Prussian militarists. 1,:ven the United States had to

-.there seems to be a thought that this latter class have no
right to a vote on municipal issues.
There is not one whit of sound basis for this reason-
ing. Many of those who rent property have a greater stake
in the future of the town than the actual property owners.
They include many of the younger business men who have
their investment in other types of assets but are vi ta lly
interested in what goes on here. The law permits oally pro-
perty owners 10 vote on money by-laws, on the assumption ,
that a man who merely rents property is likely to h e a fly-
by-night„ someone who won't be here to help pay for the
measures he might vote for.
We contend that with property changing hands as
easily as it does today that reasoning. is false. And since
when. does a man who pays $40 to $.50 a month for a home
not Colliribute his full share to the payment of taxes? Is
there any landlord in this town who charges so little for,
Ids property that he has to pay the taxes out of his own
pocket?
By means let us decide the recreation issue at the
polls, but since the expenditure need never be ,,for more

Mouth cleanliness, too, plays a

after eating anything will help to

Vote To Decide Recreation Question
So far this column has refrained from commenting on
,,,fhe hot .question of organized recreation in Winghanl, not
..nut of any fear of taking a definite stand in the matter,
'but rather because we have not been tong-in the community
and .felt that our comments would not be based on personal
knowledge. However it now seems apparent that the logi-
cal solution to the problem is ill sight, The members of the
town council have stated that they are not opposed to or-
ganized recreation, but feel that a majority of people in
-town do not favor its continuance. The recreation council

The soli reeds a chance to dry, and
this doesn't normally occur until late
June or early August, Then water-
ing should be clone about every 10
days, depending on rainfall and soil
conditions, When a lawn is finally
watered, it should be soaked suffic-
iently for moisture penetration of
about four inches. Frequent light
watering a practice only too wide-
spread, as it salves the conscience of
the indolent—only encourages surface
rooting, resulting in weak plants sub-
ject to winter kill and to weed and
clover infestation. A dry lawn, on
the other hand, need occasion no
alarm. It means deeper roots and
stronger plants.
O Canada, in all thy glorious youth,
Stretch out thy hand forever to the
truth.
Great are the gifts God hath on thee
bestowed,
Great is thy leritage of ' British

Happy thy heart is, strong to

Joy be thy portion, now and ever-
