Would it not be well for Durham council to follow a similar course and have Mayor Laidlaw, at next meeting proclaim a holiday for some day in the folâ€" lowing week. At that time the chances are the majority of the farmers will be. busy and very few will be coming to town, and a 11011- day would not be much of an inter- ference. with business. If all would take a day. or even half a day for a General cleanâ€"up, it would make a transformation in the appearance of the town, and little, or no detriâ€" ment to any one. It would be worth a trial. With the hearty approval of the Minister of Education a letter was sent to every school in Ontario re- questing a subscription to assist in erecting a monument to Miss Edith Cavell, who was so foully murdered by the Germans in Belgium. It was hoped that in some way the people in nearly all school sections would raise an amount, large or small. for so worthy a purpose, but a very. large proportion of the schools have not answered the .letter. It has, therefore, been demded to try and secure the coâ€"operation of all the papers in Ontario by requesting them in urge editorially that on them to urge editorially that on Emplre Day thl§ year each school give an entertamment and devote the proceeds to the fund.
