That noble structure is an essay in Stone upon the beauty rather than left to keep eternal vigil on the field of their last, supreme sacrifice, and where, at worst, stones which carry the poignant reminder that wunder- neath lies one "Known to God" tell of those who gave even their iden- tity in the battle for freedom, thoughtful men and - women have turned with a sense of relief to the steadfast security and permanence of mausoleum interment for their loved ones.

Trano of Camada Mauso- leums, Ltd, recently: "The Hamilton mausoleum is above praise. I have seen a number of splendid buildings in the past two years in journeys across the coatin- ent, but nothing to surpass and few to approach the beauty of the Ham- ilton - structure." The point of interest here is that this Canadian company is steadily carrying out a province-wide cam- paign for more general adoption of mausoleum burial, and to provide for the ever increasing demand. It is al- together probable that the next few years will see a second mausoleum erected for this city. Incidentally, a second mausoleum is being erected at Kitchener, Ont, an this is the first to be erected in Canada under the auspices of the Roman Catholic Church, The new Kitchener mausoleum fea- A STATELY YET BEAUTIFUL APPEARANCE -y ne of death, © Sheltering "its Stately corridors the re- wi} Oshawa citizens whose lives shape its destinies, it firm defiance against the time and mortal mutabhil- he building of stately' mausoleum Ontario' has been gne of 'the' sig- cant phases of life following 'the ie great war, Many hearts torn by Fokedies of battlefields, ere, | » the 4 with head offices in the Metropolitan Building, Adelaide and Victoria Street, Toronto, has rendered a splendid service to Canadians by fostering the erection of such heau- tiful structures as that which adorns the Union Cemetery, Amongst the many structures erect- ed by them, that at Hamilton which contains 1,406 crypts, is acknowledged to be one of finest works of mem- arial rchitecture on the continent, EW ebb, a member of the ex- tures exterior carving, showing scenes from the Passion of our Lord and other sacred scenes, Oshawa's mausoleum is built in an adaption of Egypto-Roman architect ure. Its chief beauty is that of line and mass, enhanced by the facades central arch which is as impressive as it is beautiful, and typifies the Christian belief that death itself is but a gateway to immortal happiness, The exterior is of cut Indiana limes stone, Massive bronze doors open on the vestibule and central chapel at one end of which a window of beau- tiful stained glass, carrying its pic- tured message of comfort and hope, throws a jewelled arabesque of light upon the varied marbles of the wall, and upon the Wallace sandstone, bordered by black and greem Miss- isquoi marble, which forms the floor of chapel and crypt aisles. Two aisles, north and south with the building's greater dimension, lined with the 310 permanent crypts, all but a small percentage of which are owned by local and district fam- ilies. At either end of the crypt corri- dors are private chapels, separated from the corridors by bronze gates, which are owned by prominent Osh- awa families. An important feature of the Osh- awa mausoleum is that the basement floor contains forty-two crypts 8rm- ing the Union Cemetery's receiving vault for winter use, The Oshawa Mausoleum is a civic property held in trust by the Ceme- tery Board of governors, Part of the funds realized from the sale of each crypt from a permanent endowment for the mausoleum's maintenance, and for the upkeep and beautification of grounds immediately adjacent to it. Begun the previous year, the Osh- awa Mausoleum was dedicated with impressive ceremonies on Sunday, June 20, 1925. Rev. R, A. Whattam, pastor of the Albert Street United Church, officiated, Following the in- vocation and solos by Mrs, Grant Berry--"There Is No Death" and Elgar's "Land of Hope and Glory" --Mayor Preston made the formal ci- vic address. The band of the Ontario Regiment rendered appropriate music during the dedicatory exercises, Mayor Preston's address struck a responsive note when he pointed out that the care given by a people to the sacred graves of their ancestors was one of the tests of civilization. In the dedication of the noble build- ing just completed, Oshawa attested its culture as well as its loving re- gard for those who, at death's sum- mons, pass from mortality's service, friendships and affections to that si- lence from which faith alone can evoke the music of angelic hosts or picture the joys of life made perfect in the presence of Him who both gives life and takes it back, subject alone to wisdom as Divine as it is inscrutable, Union Cemetery's many solemn beauties are enhanced by the Mau- soleum, near which is the group of graves which closely resemble the war cemeteries of Canadian heroes who died in France. These graves are all headed with the Imperial War Graves' headstones, and a central monument commemorates the sacri- fices of those who, though living to return home, yet succumbed to the actual wounds or djsabilities incident to service overseas. The hest way for a young man who is without friends or influence to begin is: first, to get a position; second, to keep his mouth shut; third, observe; fourth, be faithful; fifth, make his employer think he would be lost in a fog without him; sixth, be polite--Russell Sage.

E. Smith, a citizen of this city for the past 25 years is of Parker's Dye Works, so well- known in the cty and district. M: Smith is thoroughly acquainted ing and pressing as well as re- pairing drygoods. His knowledge of machinery with which it is necessary for him to come in con- tact day after day, gave him the opportunty of selecting the cor- rect type and most modern models for the mew plant the selection of which, otherwise, might have proved difficult. Robert Fuller, for 25 years with the King Edward Valet Service at Toronto is now associated in the firm with Mr, Smith and his experience will no doubt prove a decided asset to the smooth work- ing of the business. Sound Principles of Growing Trade With earliness. and prompt ser- vice as an effective background, the trade of Barwell & Ferguson's meat shop, 27 Celina street, is seeing ad- vances that bid fair to soon place this firm in a premier position among butchers of the city, Although both Harold Barwell and Garfield Ferguson, the partners in this business, have had considerable experience in their trade, it is only a year ago that they joined forces and formed a new firm. This part- nership succeeded that of Armour & Barwell, in which Mr. Barwell had been associated for six years with William Armour. It was Mr. Ar. mour who, about six years ago, built the store in which the butcher shop is located. Both Mr. Barwell and Mr. Fergu- son received their training in the meat selling business in this city, Mr, Barwell having worked under Mr, Armour when he owned a store on Simcoe street, and Mr. Ferguson having been employed by both E. F Cawker and by the old hy: of Brooks. & Armour, Barwell and Fer- guson handle an entirely retail busi- ness, doing no actual butchering themselves, but their trade keeps two delivery trucks constantly busy tak- ing parcels of meat and provisions to Oshawa housewives, The Public Health is the founda- tion upon which rests the happiness of the people and the welfare of the nation.
