Hundreds Honor Dead.
Impressive Services Held Here
Last Saturday.

Judging from the crowd, Memoria
Day is becoming more and more observ
ed and honored year after year by thu
people of Thurmont and community.
This was demonstrated here last Sat
urday. when Memorial services were
held by Jason Damuth Post No. 80, G.

Flowers were scarce, but hundreds OF
lunches were left on graves Of loved
ones laid to rest in the cemeteries.
Aged veterans, % in number, again
paid respects to their departed comrades.
Children. several hundred of them,
carried flags. while members of the fra
ternal organizations. in numbers more
than usual, with flowers, flags and ban
ners, marched to the cemetery and honor
ed deceased brothers by placing bou-
quet on their graves. More than four
hundred persons were in the parade.
Music was furnished by the Union
Bridge Concert Band and the M. V. c.
Band of Creagerstown. The music was
better than usual and was enjoyed very
much by the hundreds who listened to it.
A new feature of the day was the
presence of Troop No. TIL irmont Boy
Scouts, recently organized by Mr.. Paul
Beard, and was under his command on
this occasion. These in measure help
ed along the little tots who were in the
parade.
The program rendered at the Hall was
