On numerous occasions bottles have been strewn about and many broken on the tombstones, by pranksters who seem to have no respect for the dead t Those who are responsible for actions of this nature must surely overlook the fact that a place of burial is considered, by right thinking citizens, one place which should be held in reverence and respect. It is unlawful to be in the cemetery after sunset and the Cemetery Board will take rigid action against the midnight marauders. It is unofficially understood that the re- ports of health authorities to the Cemetery Board have been excellent and the Board is determined to maintain this standing. There should be- no need of an editorial of this nature to appear in any locality in a civilized country. Unfortunately, it appears, from recent happenings in Clinton Cemetery, that there are still some whope sense of decency is sadly acking. Those in that category must be exposed and corrected. Officials Study Ontario's Pollution Problem THE PROBLEM of pollution of Ontario's waters is occupying the attention of officials of-the Department of Lands and Forests who have, for years, been studying just what can be done to stop the pollution. Difficulty is, according to the official that while less than one-tenth' of one per cent, of the estimated two million lakes in the Province are polluted, the pollution exists tewhere population is greatest. Almost every day, department officials are called upon to travel to various areas in the Province where complaints of pollution have been made. Too, in co-operation with the Department of Health, they closely scrutinize plans of ner industries, effluents from which might further pollute .waters, particularly in Southern. Ontario — where most of Ontario's population is. Industry is more cognizant of the need for controlling industrial wastes than ever before, according to the officials. There are two major reasons for this: First, public opinion is definitely against the industry which knowingly pollutes neighbour- ing waters, and the industries depend on the general .public for their existence. Secondly, modern methods of manufacture and research have brought about a great change in the sal- vage of valuable material' from industrial waste. In the case of one large Northern On- tario concern, waste formerly pumped into a river was further processed bringing the in- dustry an estimated additional $100,000 a year. In another case, fumes released from a refinery were processed- and extremely valuable chemi- cals retrieved. "There is a broad field of approach through research which is being carried on by pro- vincial governments, the federal government and industries, more particularly the pulp and paper industries, in order to determine ways and means of economically recovering and util- izing waste substance, as well as to neutralize or otherwise treat such substances so that they are not detrimental to aquatic life," the gov- ernment officials declare.

My goodness, last night was enough to strike terror to the heart of the largest mouse, Supermouse included. Dogs. Dogs, by the score. They yelped and pranced around so, I do believe they were worse than a veritable army of cats. However, they were fairly well controlled by the strong arms of their owners, and I finally got close enough to see what was going on. Of course, you were there. Everybody and his brother to say nothing of everybody's dog, was at the Mutt Show. Gather- ed on the Public School grbunds with youngsters, bicycles and tricycles, was every sort of dog imaginable. There were dogs-in- arms, not yet old enough to get down and run about; there were furry puppies; there were tiny, practically hairless toy dogs; there were collies and mongrels; there were boxers and spaniels. All combed and shining for the parade to Main Street. The RCAF Station Clinton Band was there too, with drums beating, horns blowing, and brass a-shining. There were three very pert little drum majorettes to lead the band, and though we're sure they were much too young to belong to the Air Force, they did add dash and sparkle, D. H.

Did I not mention the parents? Well, goodness sakes a me, they were there for sure. After all, did not the proud mommas stitch those costumes for their young- ones, and did not the prideful poppas help the dogs get into their gay regalia? Did you see the black spaniel dressed like a Scotchman—kilt and all? Look out, you pipers, there may be a competitor for your glory at the next parade. Now these canines, some- times yelping, often prancing, very few of them really par- ading in an. approved martial style, can be forgiven their overly buoyant spirits. Some of them had been promised a good sized helping , of Dr. Ballard's, but more than that. these dogs, all of them, had been kept under lock and key practically all summer, with the exception of the occasion- al walk. But during the gar- den season, a dog on the loose is apt to be impounded, and what dog wants that to hap- pen? These dogs were sud- denly all taken for a walk at the same time, and all to the same place. They had a chance to see all the neigh- bour dogs, and parts of town they had not seen since the GENERAL INSURANCE Representative: Sun Life Assurance Co. of Canada Office: Royal Batik Building Office 50 - PHONES - Res. 9W H.

We went down in the even- ing, though, and it wasn't too bad at all. We didn't make it early enough to get tickets for the grand stand, and "Sold Out" really means just that to the ticket sellers. Not even room for one small mouse on the stands, not even in the rush4eats half- way down the tracks. But we saw the fireworks. They get better and noisier each year. Down behind the stands, somewhere between the CGIT booth and Wally's Wonder Popcorn, with hund- reds of people, we got a fine view of the skies, as they mushroomed into technicol- our splendour. We had to be pretty careful though, be cause, when people are look- ing up, they're none too care- ful of where they put their great big feet. We saw the peanut men and the rubber monkeys on sticks. We looked at new cars, ever so modern beside a 1907 jalopy. We watched demonstrations of power derived from candle light; the ever popular vegetable slicers; new fangled bottle-tops ("Put it on, leave it on, never take the darn thing off", chanted the OPTOMETRY A.
