We are ignoring the resting places of the pioneers who con- verted virgin forest into the green fields - and settled communities of today. A number of area municipalities have become concerned at the neglected bury- ing places 'and have acted to convert them into pleasant -and neatly maintain- ed areas -- fitting memorials to "those early citizens buried in them. Latest to move in this manner is Tuckersmith Council. Members of the Tuckersmith body at recent meetings, have been con- cerned with the proper maintenance for an early cemetery south of. Brucefield. ' Present plans call for the smaller mem- orial/ stones to be set in a wall where they will continue to serve as tribute to the pioneer dead. The larger stones that are in good condition to remainin their present locations and the entire area will be levelled for 'easier maintenance. • Tasks such as this are proper munici- pal responsibilities. While present prov- incial regulations provide.. that newly es- tablished cemeteries are financed in such a fashion as to ensure perpetual up- keep, this was not the ease when pioneer cemeteries came into being. In these cases, too often there are no surviving members of the families represented in the cemeteries and perhaps not even names recognized by today's citizens. Yet the cemeteries should demand the same care and attention as do those that are still .in use. This is where municipalities enter the picture. If there. is no acknowledged' authority in charge of a cemetery, the 'municipality should -not hesitate to act. As the body representative of today's citizens, it •can move to provide, through maintenance of abandoned cemeteries, the respect which every community should show to yesterday's citizens. - Problems- of Procrastination Each of us, or certainlym many of us is a ready" victim of procrastination, We dilly, -we daily, we put off. An unknown author sets out the pro- blem in these words : He was going to be all that a mortal could -be. Tomorrow. Noone should be kinder or braver than he: Tomorrow. A friend ,who was troubled and weary, he knew, who'd be glad of a lift = and who needed it, too; on him he would call and see what he could do. Tomorrow. Each morning he' stacked up the let- ters he'd write. Tomorrow. And thought of the folk he would fill with delight. Tomorrow. It was too bad, indeed, he was busy, today, and hadn't a minute to stop on his way; "More time I will. have to giveothers," he'd say. "Tomor- row." „The greatest of workers, this marc} would have been. Tomorrow. The world would have 'known, had he ever seen Tomorrow. But the fact is he died, and he faded from view ; and all that he- left 'here when his . Iifetime was through, was a mountain of things he;d 'intended ,to do. Tomorrow. On Holidays "Every now and then, go' away, have a •little relaxation, for when you come back to your work, your judgeme�t-Vyll be sure, since- to remain constantly at work will cause you to lose your power. of judgement -...Go some distance away because then the work appears smaller, and more of -it can be taken in at a. glance, and a lack of :harmony or pro- portion is more readily seen " Leonardo da Vinci In the Years .A From The Huron Expositor July 12, 1940„ Employees of the Robert Bell' Engine and.

According to press reports he said that there was now a general feeling in the" Tory party that Mr. Diefenbak- 'er has "been more sinned against than sinning". He add- ed that a recent survey con- ducted by the Tory party re- vealed a • strong anti-govern- ment feeling in Canada- "An election fought along an anti- government platform would be just the kind Mr. Diefenbaker would be good at". The Party's national president is .certainly on sound ground in that observation. Mr. Diefen- baker would relish a general election in which he • could pound the Liberal Government on corruption in administration and for, moving the country down the road to republican- ism. • The Tory leader gave a pre -view of. that kind of elec- tion campaign when he went, out, West last' in June; He stopped off briefly, in Winnipeg and had a talk with Premier Duff Roblin, Conserva- tive leader in Manitoba. He moved on into. Saskatchewan and visited briefly in Regina before going into Southern Sas-, katchewan for a political meet- ing. Then he flew out to Vic- toria and Vancouver for meet- ings. Newsmen who covered the meetibgs said tlfey were 'en- thusiastic, well attended ' and that Mr. Diefenbaker was in great form—"reminiscent of an, election campaign," said ` one, Speaking in Vancouver, Mr. Diefenbaker made it plain' there was no vacancy as yet- in- sofar as he was concerned in the leadership and that he plan- ned to continue indefinitely at the head of the national party. Mr. Diefenbakbr dropped hints of^'a new party election manifesto. He 'suggested it would take in aid to education and to .municipalities, a nation- al highways policy, national 'wa- ter conservation program as well, as his old northern de- velopment policies.

N9, it wasn't thunder. Not real.' thunder, anyway, though it sounded mighty like it. It was made up of two things: great men . turning 'in their graves; and a vast groan of disgust and despair from several million ghosts. If you listen carefully, you can even distinguish some of the individual • voices in this continuing thunder of protest from the nether world.• - SureIy that rasping growl be- longs to Sir Winston Churchill. Poor old chap. Barely laid to rest „when something like this comes along to destroy his hard earned peace. Doesn't that angry bellow be- long to Sir Francis Drake? Could that bull's roar of rage be •anyone abut Henry the Eighth? Surely that booming of blank verse is John • Milton? And wouldn't that howl of anguish be Rudyard Kipling? There's a duet: the angry snarl of the Duke of Welling- ton and the outraged holler of one -eyed Horatio Nelson: And there's a trio. It sounds much like the pontifical tones of Archbishops Cranmer, Rid- ley and Latimer, martyrs three. Gruff Gladstone and dapper Disraeli, roaring protest, are in tune as they never were alive. • I'd bet money that female squeal+, rising above the others, belongs to Good .Queen Bess, hurtling down the halls of five centuries, as she rages, "Name- sake!
