tinguished Speakers Features of the Programme

Sunday was a red letter day in the
history of Plainfield for the flag rails
| gufshed visitors will long liIiger In the
| minds of the townspeople. From early
| morning until late at night the quiet
mill village some fifteen miles north
| of Norwich was af1ame with patriot
| ism. Flags, banners and streamers,
were here, there and everywhere.
| Plainf1eld took on a holiday aspect but
the day was not holiday in the true
| sense of the word. 1t was rather an
awakening Of the townspeopIe's minds
| to the true realization of the great cris-
| is that is facing the country.
The climax to the successful pro-
graTnme of the day was the visit of
Ex-President William Howard Taft,
who just before six o'clock honored the
gathering that thronged the lawn in
front Of ST. Johns rectory with a
brief, but comprehensive address on
the part Uncle Sam must play in the
war.
The programme opened with the
regular services at ST. Johns church at
1.45 o'clock There was a procession
Of the Children of Mary. Immaculate
Conception and ST. Anne's societies. At
the close of the devotions the flag was
blessed by Rev. William A. Keefe, the
rector, with Miss Isabelle Flynn and
Theodore Dayon as sponsors
The Flag UnfurIed.
At 2.45 o'clock the flag was unfurl-
ed to the breeze on t. staff erected
on the lawn in front of the rectory.
The Plainf1eld Military band played the
Star Spangied Banner during the UNI
furling of the flag and all stood at at
tention.
Immediately after the unfurling of
the flag there was an automobile pa
rade in which many very handsomely
decorated cars took part. The big
parade formed in the following order:

TO OUR FRIENDS

When the angel of death entered our
home and we took the final parting
with our devoted and beloved mother,
relatives, friends and neighbors dis
played the spirit of the Good Sanaritan
by many acts of lidnlineSs and sympa-
thetic words. They seemed to make our
burden of sorrow lighter. We feel
especially grateful to those who con-
tributed flowers. The memory of these
deeds of sympathy will always be
cherfshe by us.
