The Cemetery Beautiful

For a long time there has been
little heard of the Hazelton Ceme-
tery. Board, if, indeed, such an
organization exists, and a walk

Hazelton cemetery would give
one: the impression that no such
organization was in existence.
It seems opportune that the ceme-
tery board be organized and an
effort made to make the cemetery

good people who have done their
bit in anew country and gone on
to seek new riches.:

A great many of those buried
in the local.. cemetery had no
relatives here, and, as a result,
the gravea are neglected and
without a plan.. Many: could not
be found. Only a few graves
are cared for and those make a
contrast’ which is not guod to
contemplate.

The cemetery grounds have al
very neglected appearance. Most
of the graves are exposed to the
depredations of cattle, horses, or
mischievous people. While the];
location is a beautiful one, there

“7.00 |. ‘
. 1 the law is new. and unknown.

are not many who do not shudder
when contemplating being placed
there in due course, oniy to be
forgotten.

It seems that with very little

effort sufficient interest could be
aroused to clean up the cemetery,
place a substantial fence around
it, and to appoint. a caretaker
who would see.that weeds, brush,
and animals (wild and domestic)
were kept out, and ‘that flowers,
for which the district has some
fame, were made to bloom where
none bloom now. A_ beautiful
\cemetery would be a good ad-
lvertisement. It would at least
show that the departed were not |
all forgotten. .

These asters, together with the

admiration and praise from the
hundreds of tourists who have

requests for seed are-an added
commendation.

The Beer Problem |

The ingenuity of Premier Oli-
ver and his henchmen will be
severely taxed to find a solution
to the beer problem. A mere
bagatelle; so to speak, of '78 votes |
in Vancouver has decided that, |
while the province as a whole
gave a small negative majority
in the recent referendum, yet
a majority of the members of
legislature have a “mandate to
work in favor of the sale of beer
