time had not served to soften. Ihen
Memorial Day was a sad as WeIl as d
so1enon occasion and served but to
revive and renew the grief OF those
who had been called upon to offer UP
their loved ones on the altar OF their
country. and as they gathered around
tbe graves and covered them VITA
garlands of flowers, tears were as
,lantifu1 as the roses that were woven
into the gariands. Time has heaieo
+baSa wounds, however, and Memorial

died on the field of battle and 10
those veterans who are still with US
after having fought a good fight for
forty odd years in the rehaDihtaelon
