Why Unnecessary
Expenditure in War Time?
ilk there au urgent need for ovary
lust dollar obtainairle to further the
war caut.e and ensure final victo.y
for the .Allies? We have been cold
repeatedly that there is and we
know 4t to be true. Why than•, are
tOhoutlands of dollars being needless.
1y stpent 011 roads that !would, with
needed. gravel, be quite sufficient
for the needb of the counry dor the
"duration"'! 44
While tha people of this corn'
mahlity are putting forth every
effort to raise money for the Red
Cross, and other war causes, for I
which there is a real need, they sea
before them huge turns of money
being sprint on the county road
north of Brussels, It is true- that
motorists rnaferto travel n i
tar-
ed roads but we Ventura to suggest
that the large majoritywould prefer I
to take a few blimps than to know
that so inucbmoney, is being ex-
pended on unaeeessany improv?-
ments in these grave and difficult
tines.
We know that ours isn't the only
community where this is being done
and it is high time that governing
bodies throughout the country woke
up to the fact that unless they
practice at least some measure of
ecommniy the people as a whole wit'
fail to gee why they should deny
themselves only to see their dollars
being spent in such a manner in
war time.
Various taxpayers have voiced
their criticism over this matter,

Window -Peeking
Caught In the Act
Having .heard out -of -the -ordinary
noises in the close proximity of
a local resilience the householder
upon investigation found a man in
RAY. uniform; and to the question
of what he was doing there said he
was looking for a place where he
had called on a previous visit.
This of course would have been
quite satisfactory as an answer
had he gone to the door but
the appearance of small flower beds.
in frontof the window would lead
* * one to believe he mistook the door
Bir, and Mks. Milton McArter were to be a glass one and decided to
take a long peek instead ,of putting
anyone to any botcher.
Another resident on the sane
street, entertantng 'some friends
and during that same evening
was told by one of them that there.
was a man walking on her back I
veranda, On going to investigate
she founds ne one but was told later
that there wns someone there again
but when the lady went to look the
intruder had again disappeared.
Whether or not he had, been lurking
there all along or haat returned was
of course a mystery, as was also his
identity or his reason for being
there at a11.
