SLACKERS
We condemn, ae selfish slackers,
Those not willing to enlist
.Co oppose the Prussian Kultur
And the Kaiser's iron flet,
But they're not the only slackers
Those who will not go and fight,
For every man's a slacker
Who does lees now than he might.
There are slackers in the pulpit
In the elder's cuehioned pew
And a111 through the congregation
There are elackere not a few,
There are sleeker$ in the workshop
There are slackers on the farm
And slackers down in Parliament .
Whose defeat would do no harm.
Some munition men eels elackere.
And some who store our food
While they dream of higher profits
And of interest accrued.
We condemn the youthful shirker
And we say hie heart's not right,
But there's many an arrant slacker
Not eligible to fight.
So let each and all get busy,
If we would the Kaiser thrash,
From the man who owns his millions
To the girl who slings the hash.
All the women busy knitting,
All the men out hoeing beano,
For the war may be decided
By the work behind the eceeies.
ONLOOKER
Proposed improvements at O.T.R.
Councillor Tipling informs us that
on Thursday last, Supt. Fish of the
G.T.R, consulted him regarding im-
proveiuents to the station yard. He
offered to raise the board walk run-
ning in the centre of the lawn and
make a couple of flower beds, also to
replace the board walk along the
tracks by a brick one a couple of feet
wider. The G.T.R. will also gravel the
drive way about station if the town
will unload and spread it. The grav-
el will no doubt be put down at once,_
bur they will not be able to get the
brick for the walk until next spring.
