Oni Sunday. a small gathering of itizens and not v'erv many veterarîs gathered at Bowmnanviile's Cemnetery for the annual Decoration Day service. The cemeterv 'vas in excellent condi- tion, a tremendous improvement over previous years. In fact. the change 'vas sa, marked that a great many visitors throughout the day made favourabie comment on the weil-kepî grounds. Ear'v- Sunday morning and up until noon, the cemetery was quite crowded wiîb folks placing flowers on graves. In fact, when we visited there about mid-morning, there were more people and cars there than during the afternoon service. This fact stirred a thought in aur mind that possibly the service was î'eally flot necessarx'. Cer- tainly, it was impressive for those pres- ent, but thev were few and far between wçhen onc considers the population of the town and even the enrolirnent at thle Bowmanville Branch of the Cana- dian Legion. It was so noticeable that the Legion Zone Commander Jim Woodward re- marked upon the small turnout, and suggested that somebady should do something to beef Up tbe attendance before next year rails around. But, wve vander if the service is really necessary. We sincerely believe that the most important point of a From The Port Hope Guide No harm can camne f rom a meeting of assessors on the subject of secandary education casts, but we are sceptîcal as ta any positive gaad which can resuit f rom it. Fram the point af view of Port Hope, which might stand to gain two thirds of a mill annually by the pro- posed change in calculating the town's share, lb is doubtful whetber ib is woî'th ail the effort.
