The honor roll which was recently pur-
chased by the selectmen and the trus-
tees of the village was erected Thurs
day on the Main street side of the WI
nooski block. The time for the dedca-
ton exercises has not been set, but it
is expected that as soon as the weather
permits the exercises will take place.
The roll stands from 10 to IL feet from
the sidewalk and the top of the posts
are decorated with an eagle. The words
Colchester and Winooski Honor Roll"
Our Boys in the Service of Our Coun-
try" Lest We Forget are written in
gold letters at the top. The body of the
roll will contain about 400 names in all,
written in black letters on the steel and
baked in enamel, which will stand all
kinds of wear and is supposed to be
indestructible. The passengers going to
and from Burlington were impressed
with the roll and thought that the boys
deserved some such reminder to the pub
lie that they had taken part in the
world war.
