pie will not allow anything to mar the
cleanliness Of their village.
The request made by the cleanup COM
mittee for citizens to sweep their pave
ments after sunset or very early in the
morning reminds one of bygone days
when a sign over the entrance of the
hamlet of Brock informed those who en-
tered that before and after sunrise 1t
covered pipe. SO that the ashes might not
be scattered. In crossing the village
with horse no one was allowed to stay
in the saddle. but the beast had to be
led. Cripples and those who were in
firm must have been compelled to remain
at home, for no vehicles were permitted
within the limits of the little town, nor
could sheep, cattle or any other animals
pass through the village to soil the
streets. Now this old law is dead, but
animals are led around the town accord
ing to the old custom.
Stories that the inhabitants of Brock
went 500 PAGES beyond the boundary of
the village to dust their shoes and that
the cracks of the pavements. that guests
were carried into the houses in the stout
arms of the shoeless residents to insure
clean floors. all sound like exaggerations.
but the extreme cleanliness of the homes
in the village today might warrant a be-
lief that such extreme methods were once
in vogue

With all the seriousness that is in the
lives of these hard workers there IS still
room for little humor, as the people of
the town tell many amusing anecdotes
concerning their ancestors. The story
may not be entirely true, but it fits the
disposition of the people SO we'll that it
does not sound like q fable. The old
Dutchmen say that years ago when the
fury Of cleaning was SO great all thought
of everything else was crowded out The
good vrouws neglected their religious
duties. The patient. plodding pastor
sought in every way to revive the inter-
ests OF the people to the services Of the
church. but failure marked his many ef-
forts until finally he hit upon a happy
scheme. Then he preached that every
Dutch woman who was faithful to her
religious obligations here below would
some day enter into an eternity where
she would find q houseful Of furniture
and costly ornaments which she might
sweep. scour or polish to her hearts con-

What parks are meant for and their

parks are. or at least should be.

park is a piece of the country within

We want builders to see us
about roofing.
We want to demonstrate why it
is to your advantage to roof
your building with Malthoid
Roofng-and we will do this to
your complete satisfaction.
We will show you beyond any
question that Malthoid is the
very highest type of
roofing perfection and made so
well that it will last as long
as the building it covers.
We will show you that Malthoid
is better roofing than
shingles-is more satisfactory
than iron-is cheaper than tin
in fact, we can prove that
there is no other roofing known
to the building trade that
is as good
as durable
as long lasting
as water proof
as fire resisting and as cheap as
Malthoid Roofing.
1t has got every other brand of
ready roofing marking time
while it is progressing
there is more of it sold
on the Pacific Coast than all
other brands combined and it
speaks we'll for the
intelligence of builders that
this is so.
The makers of
Malthoid Roofing
The Parafine Paint Co.
of San Francisco
and Chicago Heights,
know their business for they
have been at it
for twenty Height years and
they not only make this roofing
to sell but they make it to last
and to please the people who
buy it.
They would rather have the
good will of the builder than
his money-and they get both
by the way they make
Malthoid Roofing.
If you have roof troubles of any
kind or of any description-no
matter what kind of roof
you have on your building, see
us at once and we will help
you out of your difficulty.
