DESECRATION OF GRAVES Sir, —May I, through your columns, > express the contempt I feel for the person who stole the flowers from ■ the head of my only son’s grave, in • town, during the week-end. Last Saturday I took some beautiful fresh ’ freesias down and yesterday when I visited the grave again the vase at the i head was empty. That it was not the work of a child was only too evident, as some pretty and uncommon bamboo that was with the flowers and could easily be traced, was thrown down on the grave io perish. It is a dreadful ' thing to think that anyone would stoop to rob the dead, and if they wanted the freesias so much I would only he too pleased to give them a.bunch, if in future the grave of my dear son is left alone- Thanking you, I am—“A LONELY MOTH Eh’.” Sept. 4, 1934.
