"LEST WE FORGET."
(To the Editor.) Bir, —Peace celebrations ought to awaken within all of us the most grateful remembrances of the heroic services which the “Fallen” have rendered to us and to the Empire. The danger is now, as always in the past, “lest we forget.” Their names should be held in everlasting remembrance. I notice' that a proposal has been made to have arches erected in various parts of the Square, with their names inscribed thereon. The proposal is a very good one. May I suggest that this proposal should be submitted to two or three experts by the Borough Council (architects and engineers) to draw up plana and estimates, and thereafter to ask the citizens to give the scheme their sanction. If this proposal were adopted, not onlv would the town receive a sinking and beautiful addition to its architecture, -which, -would ai'pcal to the aesthetic, and the names of those who have died that we might would be held in perpetual mciuo/y.-- > arr b etc., ■\VIT.T.I AM THOMSON.
