It's like the will and the lawsuit. While we are of the opinion that the public should have the widest possible chance to express its opinions on such subjects, the line must of necessity, be drawn some- where. Just where is the $6-1- question, and the Municipal Board has attempted to answer it by laying down rules regarding the expenditures of municipal bodies. Any expenditures coming within these regulations are legally, if not morally correct. If ratepayers are un- happy about the situation, it is something that should be taken up with the Municipal Board, for the councils can hardly be blamed for acting within their legal rights. C zttghattt BOX 473 225-18th St., Hollyburn, B.C., Sept, 3rd., 1953 Dear Sir: I enclose a copy of a letter mailed today to the Clerk of the Township, George T. Thomson, Bluevale, Ont. I would greatly appreciate the fav- or if you could see your way clear to publish it. The letter Itself is self explanatory and you will realize why i I feel keenly in the matter. Yours truly, G. M. Gemini11 Mr, George T. Thomson, Clerk of Turnberry Township Bluevale, Ontario, Dear Sir: This writer was born on the 6th Concession of Turnberry, 65 years ago, leaving Ontario for the West at the age of 10. On August 1st. of this year I was able to visit that vicinity for the first • time since then-55 years. Having planned this trip for sonic. months I looked forward with pleasurable anti- cipation to the scene of my birthplace after so many years. One feature that ruined my visit was the' desecration of the Morris treat the pioneers—the men and wo- men who suffered such 'privations and worked so hard to make Huron Coun- ty into the lovely spot it is today. Now Sir, I am not suggesting that the present council is wholly respon- sibe. Such desecration would not have occurred during the term of one coun- cil. It'has been a cumulative neglect through the years, I therefore suggest that your body cause to be erected there a cement slab with as many of —those brokan monuments in that disgraceful heap as can be mounted on it, thus arrest- ing further deterioration in a situa- tion, that never should have been al- lowed to happen. While there I took photographs and in any restoration that is done I must insist that my grandfather and moth- er's monument be not interfered v, ith in any way. I am willing to make a modest con- tribution to a suitable restoration and to induce others interested to do the same, but the main responsibility would rest with your body. I am aware that no contract of per- petual upkeep was implied when a burial plot was secured by ..ny fore- fathers in this cemetery. I am also aware that nature and the elements would take their toll of any unattend- ed burial place but neither Nature nor the elements moved those greve- stones to the disgraceful pile in •,vhich I found them. In whose name does the title to the plots in this, cemetery rest? I expect to hear soon of yoar CO- operation in this matter. Yours truly, G. M. Gemmill SECOND APPLE BLOSSOMS OUT Something he had not seen before was discovered by Phil Musselman of Kincardine in his orchard, second growth of apple blossoms. He brought a sprig of bloom to The News office to show that this phen- onenon of nature was real, and not, as so many are, merely imaginary.— Kincardine News. REMINISCING POILTY YEARS AGO George Baker, drug clerk at .1, J. Davis' store, was badly burned on Tuesday morning with carbolic acid. The bottle containing the acid fell from the shelf, striking an ammonia bottle, both being smashed. The acid splashed over the young man's face, chest and arms, barely missing his eyes, The burns were immediately dressed and he is feeling pretty well already. On Tuesday Mr, W. J. Deyell receiv- ed word from Ottawa that he had been awarded the contract for raising the tower at the post office. Mr. Deyell will start on the work at once and it is expected that the clock will be plac- ed in position in the course of a few weeks. At the Public School on Tuesday afternoon, little Nellie Boardman met with what might have been a fatal accident. She tripped at the top of the back stairs and fell to the bottom. The child's right wrist was broken and she was cut about the head. In view of the many motor vehicles now on the roads in town and country, the following extract from the Ontario Statutes regarding the rules of the road should be borne in mind, In meet- ing vehicles you turn to the right of the centre of the road. In over-taking them, give audible warning and pass to the left of the vehicle overtaken, which is required to turn out to the right and leave one-half of the travel- led road free as you, pass. Prober warning should be given before turn- ing corners. If you are driving after dark, you are required to carry one white light forward and one red light on the rear. These must be lighted so as to illuminate the markers, and the markers must always be kept free front dirt and plainly visible. Good progress has been made with the work on the street paving during the past few days.

Besides the umpteen laws of the land which prohibit us from doing this and that, there is a race of creatures who take it upon themselves to decide What is morally right for us. These are the censors and reformers—gov- ernment and self-appointed. These gentlemen are forever telling us we can't see specified parts of movies, can't read certain books, can't do various things on Sundays, can't buy or drink certain types of liquids—all because they have the inside track with some higher authority which enables them to know, better than we do ourselves, what is for the good of our souls. The peculiar thing about these self-confessed author- ities is the fact that while they know everything there is to know about the remedy, they usually know very little about the Like the„congressman, they haven't read it, know nothing about it, but want to ban it anyway. Censors and reformers, like the poor, will probably always be with us. Sometimes one can't help wishing, however, that they'd keep their reformations to them- selves. Editor's Woes Sometimes the newspaperman's lot is not a happy one. if his news stories are packed with detail, they say he's wordy; if he writes a brief summary, he's not giving full coverage. If he expresses strong opinions, he's throw- ing his Nveight around ; if he.. expresses no opinions, he's wish-washy. It he tries too hard to make his paper in- teresting, he's a sensation-monger ; if his news is run-of- the-mill, he's dull. If he makes one slight typographical error, he's careless; if a whole issue is letter perfect, no one is any wiser. He must be tactful 'with the women's organizations, sympathetic to the advertiser's woes, appreciative to cor- respondents, understanding to officials, and generous to charity, lie must be a lot of things to a lot of people. But he has one recompense, If he is more than usualh irked by the foolishness of his fellowmen. he can always unburden his soul in an editorial. V.yeri if his fellowmen don't read it. c. Wise Decision I TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO A sad and tragic ending to the play I' Of a couple of young lads occurred on Saturday afternoon, when Gordon Bertram, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Elliott, Pleasant Valley, fell off the C.P.R. bridge and was drowned. He and a playmate, Joseph Wilson, were on the bridge throwing stones at some birds in the water, when Gordon lost his balance and fell into the water. U Young Wilson immediately gave the alarm and in about twenty minutes' Eddie Blue recovered the body, but RI all attempts at resuscitation were in • vain, The tragic affair cast a gloom over the community, where the young chap was well liked by all. He is sur- vived by his parents and two sisters U and two brothers, Noal, Edna, Edwin • and Elizabeth. 111 George Moir combines pleasure with • the arduous work of reducing the :+1 high cost of living, On Monday he ! went fishing and brought back 3 • black bass that tipped the scales at 11 pounds.
