Whether a day should be set apart for this by proâ€" clamation of the Mayor and Council, or whether each citizen should act independâ€" ently is a matter of debate, but the real question of cleaning up is not debatable. Destroy the garbage and the breeding place of flies and many varieties of germs is removed. â€" While attending to the back vards, some of our river banks should reâ€" ceive attention, and civic action might well be ti@ken to make things of beauty out of som> unsavory spots.

Elderslie, sold by auction on Friday last, brought the aggregate of $7,500, which is the largest Sum ever realized at a similar sale in Elâ€" derslie.

Mr Calder | estimates that a site for a small park and 3equipping it would cost about $2000 and | he had a cut of a mcniment of respectâ€" | dimensions that could be got for $1500 \ more. _ In discussion several thought | there should be an effort to reach $5000 | at least. i Drs, Smith and Hutton favored a hos pital and the latter wanted something practical done and an end put to talking, He suggested a canvass of the town and adjacent territory with a paper containâ€" ing the three proposals, asking each to fsta!e their preference He was willing with the other two doctors to take the ‘township areas. but no volunteers were forthcoming to cover the town Just \then Mr Richardson reminded the meetâ€" | ing that there was a committee entrusted with this business, Mayor McKechnie, convener, which had never met. and | chairman Irwin and Secy. Stedman were | asked to see that this committee got to | work. Mrs Morlock thought the best | way to secure the opinion of the town , was by a vote on a set day and a specially | prepared bailot. |_ The third Memorial meeting in Town | Hall on Monday night was an improveâ€" | ment on its predecessors, there being over forty citizens out including ten or a dozen |ladies. Still that number is a miserable ‘representation for a town of this size and i forces one to the conclusion that real sympathetic sentiment is lacking in many quarters. The idea of a memorial hall for theatriâ€" ‘al displays, dances, &c, even with a soidiers‘ room as an annex, is distasteful to many, and abhorsent to a few. â€" Dugâ€" ald McKechnie in a few pregnant remarks closed by saying that such a use of a memorial Hall would to him look like dancing on his boy‘s grave, To decide upon a Hall would at once destroy the community idea. The townâ€" ships adiacent would stand aloof. To a hospital there would be more consideraâ€" tion. but for a monument there would be hearty concurrence However when the meeting got thawed out, expresslons of opinion came thick and fast, and revealed the fact that diverâ€" gence of views still existed on Hall or Hospital or monument. though happily there is no castâ€"iron choice and harmony and good feeling may yet find all parties working tor one object. The meeting waited for the Mayor to take the chair, but about 9 p m. Mr Irâ€" win was appointed to the position, a diffiâ€" cult one for there was neither plan nor program, nor report from the committee appointed at former meeting, the Mayor Convener, which had never met. We trust the committee which consists of one delegate each from the G. w V. A from the Red Cross Society, from the I. O D. E. and one from each church in town, 8 in all, Mayor McKechnis, conâ€" vener, will be able forthwith to formulate some scheme that will lead to something practical being done. The letter following from J. W. Crawâ€"| ford, Eyebrow, Sask., is a timely and welâ€" | come contribution to the memortal moveâ€" | ment in town. . It is heartening to find a weliâ€"known Durhamite taking an interest in this creditabfe movement, He and many others at a distance are watching | us at home, and expecting us to measure up to the occasion by planning for and‘ erecting a worthy memorial. â€" Shall we meet their expectations? Here is the | letter under date of May 14th : Dear Mr. Calder,â€" 1 am pleased to notice that the people in and around Durham are taking action to erect a Memorial or Monument to the memory of our brave boys who fought and died that we might live. 1 am strongâ€" ly in favor of a monument that neither fire nor tempest could destroy. 1 would \like to see the name of every boy who lwas born or enlisted in South Grey andr‘ who saw actual fighting on land. sea or in l the air, inscribed on monument My choice of a place would be in front of Mr Kelly‘s ; there are a numbee of trees there and more could be planted. 1 can.

There wili be an official welcome by the Mayor and Warden of the County at Heroés‘ Square at 11.30 a. m , and +ddresses of welcome at Victoria park at 2 p. m. by Sir William Hearst, and Mayor Tolmie. M. A. Halliday, Mayor of Chesley, D. J McLauchlin, Hon. Sec Headquarters Military District No. 1 has given permission to all soldiers who wish to do so to appear in uniform on June 3rd. The military authorities have assured the Committee that no complete list of returned men with correct addressâ€" es is available and the Committee is inâ€" debted to the county press for making known this invitation to the soldiers of the County. All soldiers will be admitted free to all events of the day.

The speaker was Mrs Ross Jamieson, a Newfound.and lady, who in war bospital work overseas, met and married Dr. Ross Jamieson, son of Alex Jamieson, Mt. Forest, and conseâ€" quently is rélated to the Jamiesons of Durham. Sheis alady of fine addrcss, enthusiastic we should say in whatever she undertakes, as may be inferred from the fact that she spent two years as nurse nthe isolation of Labrador under Dr. Grenfell without pecuniary recompense. Let us bave cheaper postage is the cry of the Toronto Star and other papers, and we join heartily in the demand _ We beâ€" lieve a return to the old rates would give results something like 1897, when the reâ€" duced rate knocked all gloomy forebodâ€" ings into a cocked hat, and substituted surpluses for deficits. Ifwhe one cent post card were restored, we feel certain the postal card revenue would not suffer, We don t mind giving the government a hint that such a reduction would be as popular as its imposition was unpopular.

The sensation of the past week apart from the revolution in Winripeg was the attempt of Hawker and Grieve, Australâ€" ian airmen to fly the broad Atlantic, direct from Newlpundland to Ireland.
