MAINE
"Comrade" Corinna: ]. Knowles Post, No. 81,
attended the memorial ceremony at Union Church
here the Sunday preceding Decoration Day
The ladies of the Relief Corps had decorated the
church with the national colors, as is customary
such occasions, and each side of the altar arms
| were stacked. II seems, however that some MEM
bers of the church objected to these carna weapons
being there and the Commander Of the Post, out of
respect 10 their opinions permitted them 10 be
| moved. The removal of the arms occasioned great
dissatisfaction among the members, and several of
the ladies on finding part OF the decorations taken
| away left the church
