Dear Sir. -
I have just picked up a Wingbain A4-

n which you have contributed an article

to me until this day. It is over 30 years
since I saw Joe last, and as I try to look
back to the past, and our school boy days

associate those days with Joe Stalker,
In those 30 years I have completely lost

PLEASE KEEP OFF THE GRASS
Recently a yell known resident of
i Wingbana drew our attention to one of the
�evils that exist here as in almost every
,other place, Owners of corner lots are
!the chief victims. These owners for the
most part, have well kept lawns, and
many of them do not put up unsightly
fences, allowing a free view of the beauty
of their place. But there are some people
who thoughtlessly take advantsge of the
thert cut'across thellawn rather then zo
around by the side walk. That iq not Ro
serious in the winter as at th2 present
time, when the lawn i5.soft and soggy and
the impreseof each foot mark is left deep
in the Ipwn leaving a serious sear there.
It should be the aim of every citizen no
matter how old or young, to do every.
thing possible to encourage beautifying
the town. Beauty attracts beauty and
well kept lawns of private individuals are
an asset to the whole community. Pe6ple
should help a propertv owner who takes
on itl1krest in beautifying the surround -

THE WOODSEY SMELL
(The Khan in Toronto Telegram)
The perfumes of far Araby
gre sweet, so -learned travellers tell,
But there's a perfume dear to me -
The homey, h6mey wooctsey smell.
The wealth of w;ods where creepers cling,
Where buds of Balm of Gilead 4well
The wandroug-robe of early spring,
Is perfumed with the woodsey smell.
There's Perfume in each hazel switch.
There's perfume in the gr6wink leeks,
And I can smell the pig -nuts rich,
That swell the cheery chipmunk's
cheeks.
Upon this log the lichens bunk,
Before the breeze each leaflet nods,
On Yonder stump a bit of punk
kilb"rning incense to the gods.
The dark. dank leaves are damp and deep.
The buds lift up their modest heads
The flowersawaken from their sleep.
Do kick the blankets -from their beds.
Their little tombs were dark and stilto
Their little tombs were lone and torn,
Hark! Prom a tafgh.-a heavenly hill
The laughing Gabriel blows his horn!
0
Ah! You can Purchase when you will I
A bottled rose, but I know well,
NO cunning band shall eer distill
The wide and wondrous woodsey smell.
If YOU would breathe that perfume sweet
That soents the trailing skirts of spring,
Forsake the 6fliceand the street,
And hie there where the bluebirds sing.
The, precious flower that died last fall
CID1110 from her tomb, benign and
brave,
And with her tender fingers; small
She thakes a cradle of her grave.
Her little blanket and tier sheet
Are trimmed with lace that's all
abloom,

And thp
