TEA ARTHUR VIL'L‘A'GE’H‘A‘S UNIQUE WAR MEMORIAL The Village of Arthur has under i'HlHil'lll'linll. says Toronto Star Weekly. :1 Will' memorial which for originality of design and beauty of rniireption rammt he equalled as yet in the [Il'n\lllt.'t‘. Many towns haw derided on -\\'litit they term a “prac- tical" war memorial. such as a pub- lir building. a school or skating rink which the community banlly needed. but which they were unable to Secure- ixcept with the sentiment- al aid of the dead boys of the village. The Village of Arthur would have none of that. Neither would it have a gravestone or a bronze statue. It evolved something of its own to mark its respect and’ love for the boys it knew who never came home. This beautiful ,cenotaph is made of field stone selected from the coun- tryside about Arthur. It is to stand in a little park 430 by 100 feet, right in the centre of the town, at the crossing of two highways. From ithe inner corner of the park it will face the crossroads, the central mo- tif being a wall 21 feet long and. 8 feet high, in which will be set a stone cross and on the cross an in- verted sword of bronze and the vic-i tor’s laurel wreath. Two tablets will bear the names of the fallen. Two! flanking walls at an angle are 12 feet long and Yfeet high. Before the cenotaph. beneath the symbolic sword. is a tomb. And concealed by shrubbery will be low stone benches. The whole scheme will be'backed by dark evergreen trees and lombardy poplars. Rixon Rafter, editor of the Arthur Enterprise-News (who, though blind since his boyhood, went through Queen’s and is now a leader in his community); is one of the most active promoters of-this uni- que memorial, as are Mr. and Mrs. Brooklebank and Hrs.

Dear Mrs. Chittick,-â€"We as mem- bers of the Mulock Ladies’ Aid regret very deeply your removal from our midst, as you have been one of our most valued members and were. alâ€" ways willing and ready to do all in your power to make our Aid a suc- cess. "For two years you very ably filled the otTice of 'l.‘reasurer and we feel we cannot let you leave us without showing some appreciation of your good work and efforts you have. put forth for the welfare of our Aid since it was organized in March, l920. We ask you to kindly accept this coffee and teapot as a small token of remembrance, and as you use it from day to day it will bring fresh to your memory the members and work of Mulock Ladies’ Aid. May (hid richly bless you in health and strength. and that you may be spar- ed to continue your good work and enjoy your lnew. home for many years to come and tlnd it convenient to frequently renew the warm t'riemlship which you have made during your residence here.

Chittiek on Thurdday, the 13th. In spite of the threatening weather there was a good attendance of members and also some visitors. The business part of the meeting was conducted as usual. Mrs. Wilâ€" liam Fulton then read the followâ€" ing address and Mrs. Aird present- ed M'rs. Chittick with coffee and tea- pot combined : president of the women’s social or- ganization. The actual construction of the memorial has been entrusted to Eddie DOheI‘t.y., a man well past three score and ten, and a master mason. who is now scouring the country round about Arthur for ‘ranitc stone. much of which will be actually carried in by the people of the town. so that the memorial may be peculiarly their own. It is Ar- thur, not a contractor, that is raisâ€" ing its memorial. The architectural design is by Walker and Gibson. Ma- jor Gibson having commanded many of the Arthur boys overseas.

(Municipal Journal.) Some years ago when conversing with a wealthy public man who had ‘had a large. experience in civic govâ€" ernment, we asked him why more men of leisure did not take up pub- lic work. The answer he gave was significant: "1 have many friends who have the time and the means to go in for public life but all are afraid of becoming the butt for all kinds of slander. Why, I never knew what. an awful liar I was until I became an alderman.“ As the man in ques- tion was the. soul of honor and truth, his remarks could not, help but make one appreciate the trials of those who conduct public afl'airs, especial- ly municipal atfairs. The conversa- tion was recalled to our mind in reading the experience of ex-Mayor l’. W. Johnson of Marian, South Car- olina. who, after six years of office, lost. his election. Mr. Johnson is editor of the local newspaper in which he summarizes his term of office as follows : “WIRELESS" IYSTBRY RAFFLBS HBAPORD THEATRE OWNER (Meaford M irrnr.)
