lines during the past decade a con stantly increasing list of items has entered into the cost of living but there is one item of expenditure at least that has been cut down a generation ago families spent small for tunes on massive marble monu ments which towered high in local cemeteries in some modern cemeteries the monu ments are limited to a foot or 18 inches in other grounds the stone is limited to a flat plaque we understand there is no jim- it to the height of a stone that might be set up in stouffville cemetery although other sim ilar grounds in markham town ship have such regulation after all perhaps the latter is to be preferred many people feel that to erect stones running in to the thousands is a vertible waste although everybody re cognizes the desirability of a substantial marker of reason able proportion since the day of elaborate tomb stones is gone many monument works have passed on with the change the town of st marys for instance had two such works employing twelve men and today people in st marys buy their monuments through agents that call per haps it is better that present- day folk are forced to do some thing worthwhile in life in order to gain a lasting monu ment in the memory of people owing to the war situation ontario people who arrived back from england and the continent the last few days were more than delighted to be on canadian soil again indeed the congestion became so great that one could not get passage on any of the lines without waiting for two or three weeks miss phyliss klinck of stouff ville and miss innis william

bible days man has been commanded to take up thy bed and walk but not always with the same rejoicing as characterized that greatest of all stories for instance chief quibell one night last week issued this command to a knight of the road who had parked on a comfortable couch on the veranda of a church street home having been sum moned to remove the stranger the cop approached the scene with all necessary caution hav ing in mind how some of these chaps resent interference and quickly pull a gun however as the cop approached he heard the soothing and sonorous sounds as from one in deep slumber although in the dark ness he could scarcely see what he was approaching drawing alongside the cot he shot his flash light into what he be lieved to be the face of the stranger only to find his head was well covered under a blank et he had taken possession of he was as the noise from un der the blanket inferred soundly asleep awakened from his glorious state the tramp was bidden to arise and follow me this he did and was led to the upper chamber of the council rooms where he was introduced to a bare table min us the comfortable springs and blanket he enjoyed on the ver anda it is only fair to state the stranger before parking on the veranda obtained per mission from the owner to do so but he later recanted through nervousnessthe tramp was perfectly civil and as was bidden flew his kite at the break of dawn after all it would have been much more human to have offered this roamer a bed of some sort which could be readily arranged in the furnace room of the council chambers for the winter months we have frequentlv heard the suggestion that a cot could be placed beside the fur nace to be used by those not so fortunate in life as the least of us in this prosperous village j
