catered to in telling the forests and de-
veloping the virgin resources Of this
new country, but even in those days,
when people wanted to celebrate any
marked epoch in their community life,
or when ''the sound Of the church
going bell'' echoed through the valleys
/ and primal weods,' they donned
their best attire.
Time was when the people Of the
leverage American city, forced, as they
believed they were, to practise rigid
ECONOMY, allowed the streets of their
Etowns to remain dirty rather than pay
for their cleaning.

Hbecause it was ascertained that the dis
leases attendant upon dirty streets cost
Emore to cure than it cost to clean the
Hstreets.
