rade in the early afternoon, with services at Grove street cemetery
 This year it is planned to have but one parade. either. in the morning or afternoon, and only one service-at, the soldiers monument on Grove street, at High School field. or in some hall or oth- CT suitable place.
 The object of this Is to concentrate the interests of all in one observance of Me morial day, so sacred to the American people, rather than to have two parades | and two services with indifferent interest | on the part of many, in each.
 | Under the proposed plan delAgations would visi St. Mary's and the Grove street cemeteries and perform the usual services of honor to the memory of the soldier dead. decorating the graves and placing flags upon them. This is in line with the practice followed for years at other and outlying cemeteries in the town and in nearby towns.
 It is believed that If this plan is fol- lowed. much larger parade can be de-
 veloped than has been possible under the 1 old arrangement and the observance of
 Memorial day made more impressive l than ever. Nothing win be sacrificed, 1t is intended under the new plan, in the way of respect to the soldier dead The
 object is just the opposNe-to concen.
 trate on one parade and one service and l ask all to participate.
