I three local men who died in. the ser vice, inviting them to take part in the parade and to partake of the clam bake to be held at Recreation park: .In connection with the 18th of Au- gust demonstration. it has occurred to us that it -would be an appropriate
 and fitting recognition of ths sacri- fees which they have made. to invite 1 the families of those who have lost their dear ones either in battle or by disease during this war. to designate
 one female representative Of the fam | fly, either mother or sister. to march ] in the parade with us. A place Of | honor will be reserved for them. and
 we shall be pleased to have them with us at the dinner to be given. Auto mobiles will be furnished for partfci- l patton in the parade. In this manner | we may come to know each other and l to cement in friendship the bonds of i our common interests. If this idea is agreeable to you we ask you to kind ] ly designate who will represent your i family and to have her. wear gold star and be prepared to report at the assembly place with us on the morn ing of August 16.
 "Kindly advise Charles W. Hill of the name and address of this repre- sentative and extend this invitation to all those whom we may have over looked, owing to the incompieteneSs of our records.
