One Minute for Memory
Believing that the five-minute period
in the middle of the day in accord
ance with the custom started few
years ago of observing five minutes
for memory" and carried out in this
city the past few Memorial days is so
long as to inconvenience traffic and
that there would be a more general
observance of the custom if the time
were reduced, the veterans this year
in an informal discussion of the mat
ter decided to ask for the observance
of period of one minute, beginning
at noon, for memory" at which time
the usual tolling of bells and suspen-
sion of traffic where practicable will
be carried out as heretofore.
Marking the Graves
committee from the G.. A.. r. posts
in the city will Friday morning visit
the graves in Harrisburg. East harris
burg, Shoop's Church, Prospect and
Mount Calvary Cemeteries and place
bright fresh t1ags over the graves OF
comrades. These committees Will also
carry markers to replace those gone
from graves or to marx any grave not
now indicated with the u. A. X.
marker. In this connection the COM
mlttee wishes to request the families
of those who want the graves OF dead
veterans marked TO be on nand Fri
day morning at the cemeteries to indl-
cate the grave to. be marked to the
committee. The committee Will leave
the city at 8 o'clock, groups arriving
at the various cemeteries at ABOUT .
o. clock.
In this connection Francis H. Hoy,
chairman of the Memorial Day COM
mlrtee, said:
I'VE do not wish to miss one grave,
but cannot tell wnere ali the comrades
rest unless their graves are located Tor
us. We will be very glad to mark
them all. 1t remains for the relatives
to assist US.
Considerable mystery attaches to the
disappearance OF some OF the markers.
Every year the committee carries a
supply OF extra markers to replace
those mysterlously missing; the num-
Der is not so many, but each year the
solution OF what becomes OF those
that are missing is as tar Off as ever,
