The 'meeting of citizens of Durham and surrounding townships called by Mayor Laidiaw to give consideration to the ques tion of a permane " memorial to the sokk iers who have fallen in the war was held on Tuesday in the Town Hall. We are loath to think that the attendance -about 20,-is the measure of the inter- est of this community in the quest on o. honoring those who went out fr, m us. FOR us, and who will not return.

Reeve Schenk said it was impossible to have one at every corner and he liked the idea ofa hospital in Durham if details could be worked out.' 1 There is usually sorne reluctance on the t part or the busy business men to enter the ( municipal arena, partly because the de. I mands of their own business constitute a 1 first claim on their energies, but partly too 1 often because of the thankless nature of the task, when sometimes their motives i are questioned, and the unreasoning part : of the public meet their efforts for the 1 public good with indifference. or ridicule, 1 or open opposition. The South Grey Memorial The voluntary retirement of Mayor Laidlaw on Monday evening alter along and honorable career in Municipal life, should constitute a call to other and younger men to prepare for public service. The period of reconstruction after war is upon us and the problems that arise from that as well as those that spring up nor- mally require the best effort of our best men. The world's best workers have had to meet these conditions. It meant a cer-‘ tain amount of Sacrifice, but in vi wot sacrifices. made in the past four years that should not deter.
