two years in which to pay for these
improvements, which were petitioned for
by ma jority of the owners Upon the
recommendation of the newly appointed
engineer. J. Spence Howard. concrete
will be seven inches thick instead OF
six. This will cost between $40 and sis
more per lot, but will last IS per cent
longer than the six-inch base. II
: An effort will be made, according to
Mayor H. T. Willis, to allow property
owners longer time in which to pay

cannot be accomplished without an
amendment to the present road law,
which cannot be secured until the next

Front" It is the story Of what
the war did to 19-year-old boy.
Erich Remaruue himself, His
body lived through that war but
his spirit was "set apart" by
the horror he saw. He tells when
that dreadful knowledge first
came to him. He had gone home,
on leave, hoping to find his boy
hood peace once more in familiar
scenes, amongst old friends. But
his old friends had become strang-
ers.
II find that I do not belong here
any more, it Is foreign world.
Some of these people ask ques-
tlons, some ask no questions, but
one can see that they are quite
confident they know all about it;
they often say so with their air of
comprehension. so there Is no
point in discussing it. They make
up a picture of it for themselves
and vet they are always
absorbed in the things that go to
make up their own existence"
So the boy sat alone, set apart
in his terrible loneliness.
That is how people feel whose
lives have been cut in two. And
there would he neither sense nor
decency in talking about it If there
We're no hope to offer. But there
Is hope.
If anyone tells you broken ones
that life will ever be the same
again, do not believe them. They
do not know what they are talking
about. Nevertheless, though life
may never again be the same. life
has not ended. Nor has it been
wrecked.
Life can mean as much to you
now as it ever meant-it can, in.
deed, mean more. But it will mean
it in different way. And it will
be different life.
Life was never meant to be
lived on one level of joy and con.
tent. The spirit has its evolution
as the body has it's evolution.
We need not wait for death to
change us into other forms. We
die and are resurrected thousands
of times while we are in the one
body. We pass into new lives
