No·w is the season when the winter's ashes should be removed from the basement, if hy sotne remote chance you should happen to belong to that class of procrastinators who Spring carry out no ashes until Cleaning warm weather cotnes. It's a good tin1e also to take all other rubbish out of the basen1ent and sweep the floor. .:\ coat of paint on the floor adds to the hou sewife's joy. \Nhatever has been accumulating in the garage ought now to he sorted and the worthless material carted away. May we also suggest that the medicine cabinet contains empty bottles and various concoctions that have long since lost their vigor. Dump them into the waste -basket and thence onto the ash-pile. That empty lot next door needs cleaning up. It's littered with paper and ·cans. Pick 'em up and help make your neighborhood beautiful. Like .other human beings, business men are sociable creatures. To make the trip to the city and to work seem less irksome, they sit together in groups of two, three, Be Considerate and four, and talk . over the light and heavy news of the day and the evening before. This is very nice and quite as it sh,ould be. We make no ,objection. But it often happens that on a crowded train a group of three will occupy one seat facing forward and half of one facing backward. The other half seat is left for some stranger to occupy. It rna y very well be that the stranger doe sn't like to ride backwards, but not wishing to make any fu ss . he submits to the inconvenience. Has not the stranger a right to expect that when he approaches the vacant place, the man occupying the other half seat will at least offer to turn the seat? He has a clear right to expect it and, tnore than that , to demand it. And the other man should he considerate enough to make the offer. Help to make the world a happier place to live in. Our congratulations to President Orner and hi s colleagues! By an ovend1elming majority the pe.ople of \Nilmette ha Ye giYcn evidence that they approve of " ·hat he Congratulations! ha s done and that the,· want. him to keep right on doing along the sa me line s. 3.092 votes for Orner out of more than 4,650 votes actuallv cast i:-~ an assurance of' confidence that is ~tnusually significant.
