The Memorial Park The principal business before the ; Women's Institute at Flesherton, last j week, was the passing of a resolut- ion to have the iron work of the fence around the Memorial Park painted. It was conceded by all that this work was much needed, as already the iron had begun to corode and would like- ly soon rust away. There should be no delay in having the work com- pleted. At the same time it would be well to have a town "bee" and have all grass and unsightly weeds removed. Perhaps it would be too much to expect visitors to refrain ' from littering the grounds with pap- I ers, etc., and- sui-ely no citizen of I Flesherton will throw away rubbisTi 'within the grounds, which all ought to unite to keep in good shape.
