down forever from the Western hemis-
phere, and these who gave their lives to
maintain the cause represented by Ola
Glory In the far-on islands of Maylaysia.
Many of these men marched as boys with
the procession to the cemetery, never
dreaming that some time their graves, too,
would be decorated with howers, gently
laid by loving hands, many wet with tears,
an indication that their deeds and spirit
still remain a cherished heritage and an
inspiration for the youth of the land. Half

feet above the base. Eventually the top
of the column may be surmOunted with a
heroic figure of a pathfinder, or a symbol
Of liberty or enlightenment. The latter
