BURIAL ETHICS AGAIN
To The Free Lance :

To The Free Lance:
The undersigned have read with much
interest the recent articles published in
The Daily Star by Rev. DR.. T. S. Dun
away and Rev. DIR. X. J. McBryde on
Burial Ethics and we desire 10 take
this means of expressing our very
hearty endorsement of the same.
We believe that when the benedction
IS pronounced at the grave it is better
for the minister, the family and the
friends TO quietly leave and permit the
undertaken and his helpers TO see TO the
filling Of the grave and we respectfully
suggest 10 the people that one and all
fall in line and adopt this suggestion.
The reasons given by Drs. Dunaway
and McBryde seem TO us to be amply
sufficient and we content ourselves with
cordial approval of same.

Revolution. a few months ago. through
the activity of certain residents of Tot

ensued a lively row between the different
parties.
The party wanting 10 preserve the
name of Tottenville was aided by the
little railroad that runs along the coast
OF the island which on its time tables
and other literature designates the sta
ton at Tottenville.
The parties who desired the change, it

They succeeded in having the name
