We as citizens have a duty to ensure that decisions made by the town council are those designed to preserve rather than destroy, At least we are en- titled to a better explanation than that given in this in- stance.

Members Agree Parents Should Refuse War Toys BELMORE—The March meet- ing of the Women's Institute was held in the community hall on Wednesday of last week, with Mrs. Eldon Renwick as convener. Mrs. Donald Biggs spoke on the motto, "Worry is like a rocking chair, it gives you something to do, but gets you nowhere." She stated that in- decision is the most prevalent cause of worry. People must learn to make daily decisions as they are faced with them, not brood about the past or fret about the future. Roll call was "what I do when I do as I please". • President Mrs. Harry Mulvey conducted the business. Mrs. David Eadie and Mrs. Mabeile Goldrich were named a nomin- ating committee, to set up a slate of officers to be announc- ed at the next meeting. Mrs. William Merkley, Mrs. Fred Doubledee, and Mrs. Donald Wallace were named lunch committee for a dance to be sponsored by Lakelet W.I. and held in Belmore in April.

Dear Sir: The decision of the Wing- ham Town Council to destroy the two trees at present gracing the approach to the Town Hall is a tragic one. There are many questions that should be asked by the citizens of Wingham. After cutting these trees -- what oth- ers? Are they diseased? Are they unsightly? A tree does not mature over- night. It is sad that progress seems to dictate the destruction of so many wonderful trees in our clamor to supply us with super highways. Is this the fate of our trees in Wingham, that they should be victims in our ST. HELENS Mr. J. D. Durnin spent a few days at the Purina Research Farms at St. Louis this past week. Mrs. W. I.
