VICTORY MEMORIAL
AT EAST CANAAN
Enthusiastic Gathering Starts
Fine Community
Project.

What was probably the most i'm
portant melting ever held in East
Canaan, was the gathering of TIM
citizens of that community, Monday
night of this week at the Village
hall.
The people were called together
by posters announcing a "Victory
ing". At eight O'Clock the hall VIVA
filled with a representative audience
from the whole community; entering
heartily into the singing of patrse-
tic songs, led by r. c. Ware OF
Wayne, Pa. Remarkably fine vocal
solos were given by Miss Pearcy OF
New York and delightful instrument
al numbers were rendered by MlE
Meyers of Bridgeport.
In well chosen words the real OBJ
ject of the melting was announces
by the chairman of the evening, ME-
Ware, as to be some action Looking
to the identifying of the trianguAzr
plot of ground situated in the center
of the village.
The Importance of the undertakes
was stated in few bright talks ax&
the following resolutions were unanS-
mously adopted:
Be it resolved That the citizr~z

resenting the eastern part of the town

Chairman Ware invited those pres
ent to begin the subscription list then
and there, either to pledge in a lump
sum or to be paid in monthly pay
ments, running over six months. So
generous was the response in xunas
angling from fifty cents to hundred
dollars, and so many were anxious
have part in the project that
he list of names required FIVE yards
of paper to contain them all. Be-
tween $500 and 5000 was subscribed
in few minutes, but to give others
an opportunity, canvass of the en-
tire community will be nude, when
it is confidently expected that a big
increase will be made il shs total
