MEN URGED
To BE THERE

Whether or not the young men of
Hammond who were soldiers and sail
ors in the late war are willing that the
memorial which Hammond proposed TO
erect, shall take the form OF an athletic
and recreation park will be learned at a
meeting which has been called for next
Thursday evening. All ex-servtce men
of Hammond are urged to be at the
Chamber of Commerce rooms at eight
o'clock and express their sentiments for
or against the proposition.
Since the city council last Tuesday,
killed the first petition which had been
flied for the Memorial park. Aldermen
Haman. Dresser. Heckieman and Luth-
man had made q fight against express
ing the city's appreciation Of the work
Of the young men, agitation has increas-
ed daily for the re-filing of the petition.
1t is now practically certain that the
aldermen viii be asked to pass Judgment
once more on the proposition but this
time the petition will have such an ar
ray of names attached that there can be
no doubt as to the will of the public on
the matter. In less than one DAYS time
nearly 700 names had been written on
the first petition but IN this case every
section OF Ine city Will DC CanVdSSed.
Fraternal societies and other organiza-
tions of Hammond are bestirring them
Selves in the interest OF the memorial.
1t had been intended that the ex-ser-
vice men should not be drawn into the
affair as It is not customary to expect
men to ask people to do something in
their honor. Thursday evenings mass
meeting will not be for this purpose
either. The boys are not TO be placed
IN the position Of begging for anything
The meeting is merely 10 find If the rec
reation and athletic park plan meets
their approx al.
This action was deemed necessary be-
cause OF statements which have been ut
tered by some who profess to be inter-
ested in the matter. Alderman Heckle-
man. for example, insisted that he would
not be satisfied until he saw a statement
from the ex- service men expressing
their satisfaction with the park plan
There may be other people who win not
favor the proposition unless they know
that the men who were in the service
think It 8. good thing.
Hence, in order to settle these doubts
it is essential that every former soldier
or sailor make it q point to be at the
meeting next Thursday evening and ex-
press himself.
