WAR MEMORIAES:
ME HOME SCHEMES.
The articles on war memorials which have been appearing in the Daily Nece have brought from Crewkerne, in Somerset, and Loughborough, in Leicestershire, particulars of two schemes that are both valuable and out of the comman.
Crawkerne is a small manufact- uring and market town with a population of less than 4,000, What it hopes to do is to purchase sixty acres of land by voluntary subscription. vest the land in a committee, and lay it out modern" town-planning lines. "In the first place, part of the site, will be set apart for use as playing fields, and a moon- ment to the fallen is to be erected here. Of the remaining ground some will be offered to the Urbai District Council for its housing scheme, and the rest developed opportunity occurs, with special eye to social amenities. One of the duties of the Trust Committee will be to arrange an annual "Day of Com- memoration."
