doctor the first warnlnas oome when their voices begin to crack then they ore brought down from the belfry and sent by road to hospital sometimes the bell on examination by the bellfounder will be found to have become dented by the clapper with the result that its tone has been changed tn such cases the treatment is fairly sunpkr says a writer in pearson s week ly the bell is placed upside down and clamped firmly a machine tool is then inserted into its interior with a sharp edge that acts aa a plane when the machine is sat in motion and the bell revolves this process may lait only a stubble arid happy hearthfires will have double cheer oh do not think this is the end of summer though scarlet maples flaunt across the hills for after winters snow will come the springtime whose worm hands will unlock the ley rills and do not think llfcs winter lingers always though bitter frosts ma bloat our fairest flowers after the sleetstorm comes the sudden sunshine after the dark night look gpr
