they make the beach look covered with

Coming cautiously to the mouth of
the hole the crab will reconnoitre. Sat-

signed to be the meeting place for

would be placed the Flagstaff for the

! be by a wide flight of steps from
Bloomfield avenue, and similar en-
trance from Church street practically
on the level. ..
THE building suggested, while Sec
ondary and not essential TO the me-
mortal, would form a fitting part OF
| the whole, although u different type
of building might be built without
in any way affecting the general
schemeI The dominant ideas in this
suggestion are: First-A fitting
memorial consecrated to those who

this Is obvious to all who see It.
Second-To include such features, for
instance, forum which would serve
every person in the community and
stimulate greater patriotism and 50
contribute to better citizenship"
The consensus of both the profess
sions concerned and of the lalty points
to a departure from set and hard
forms in the planning of memorials

he went to reconnoitre new positions

His good work was praised by the
