 It is sometimes surprising how most of us ''get used to things" and do not pause to think how much just Ia few cents, or little effort, would add 9pleasuEe and comfort to many people. Much comfort has been given to- those who frequent the town hall, by the installation of the ventilators. How many have thought of the un- necessary effort that has been made for years to mount from the doorstep to. the, threshhold of the town hall. This is especially hard for little chill dren. How much would it cost to raise the door stone a few inches and flll in around it? Possibly the younger people here may not know that this fine large door stone was for many years used as "horse block" up on meeting house hill, when the: old church stood on the hill where the monument now is. In those early days there were no wagons used on the roads, for passengers. and the good people of Union made their way to church on horseback or on foot. This stone then stood near the church and was used each Sunday when alighting from and mounting the horses. -.- st.s.
