This well: known and impressive mon- ument was erected in 1853 in commemoration of the civil and Mmitiary services of Major-Gen- eral Sir Isaac Brock, who was killed in action during this his- toric engagement. Inscriptions relate that General Brock and kis staff-officer, Licutenant-Colonel Macdonell are buried in the vault: beneath.

This list was pre- pared from records in the War Office in London and the Public Archives in Ottawa, and the tab- let was unveiled on October 12 last, 128 years after the battle, in an impkgssive ceremony ar- ranged. by the Niagara Historical Society. Professor Fred Landon, of the University of Western On- tario, represented the Historic Sites and Monuments Board, and an outstanding feature of the ceremony was an address deliver- ed by Mr. W. F. Powless, an In- dian of the Six Nations Reserve, Brantford, who.

There are several effective ways of reducing winter heating costs, the Plumbing and Heating Industries Buréaun- advises. Increasing the efficiency of the heating plant, eliminating the possibilities of heat losses from the house, lowering the comfort zone temperature range, and better control of combustion are among the most important methods of effecting the desired economy, KEEP PLANT CLEAN For efficient operation, boilers free from accumulations of oil, sludge, scale and sediment. Every heating plant, new or old, re- quires at least one thorough cleaning a year, after which i: may readily be kept in good con- dition with little effort or ex- pense, INCREASED EFFICIENCY While some plants may only need a thorough cleaning and checking of the controls, burn. ers, oil supply line, grates and smoke pipe, others may be in need of a new boiler or additional radiation, There are cases in which home owners cannot afford not to have a new boiler installed.
