acton ontario dear sir it would be highly appreci ated if you may publish this letter which may be consider ed an exemption of the rule because generally letters to ed itors ask for taking action in some direction and this al ways costs money whereas this one is written for the pur pose of discontinuing an ex pensive operation carried out at fairvlew cemetery this cemetery has a few small swamps providing a flora and fauna which make it quite different from other places of burial it is alive with natures colors sounds shapes and movements it has life and it has beauty if those swamps are eliminated by fill ing it will be as dull and life less as the others are and gaining a few more plots does not seem to justify such delib erate destruction of natural beauty these filling opera tions require expensive mach inery and labor and their ef fect is devastating conse quently it appears highly de sirable to discontinue them im mediately this suggestion may be com pleted by two others of minor importance 1 1 would be use ful to have some receptacles for refuse on the grounds be cause rifiht now visitors can not help littering the swamps with cmpt flower pots flow er wrapping paper etc since thev cannot do anything else with them it also would be desirable to erect a few signs prohibiting children from en tering the grounds unless ac companied bv adults acton is well provided with play- grounds for children and there is absolutely no need for them to play ball games in the cemetery or to do jumping exercises on the monuments these tvto suggestions may be connected with some small ex penditures but these would amount to a tiny fraction of the present filling expenses only trusting that you may grant me an opportunity jo gain your readers attention by pub lishing this
