ing communication:
Again it is necessary for use to

OF their departed comrades. They
have turned the work Of securing
flowers over to us, the Daughters Of

sary for use to ask the public for
help. We feel this is one way to
show the Civil War veterans how
much We appreciate what they have
done and also to show them patriot
ism. Flowers are scarce this year.
but IL everybody should bring few,
that would make a lot. Counting
two flowers to a grave, see what a
lot is needed when II takes over five
hundred bouquets for Wilmington
and BrandyNwine cemetery alone.
Then count what would be necessary
for all the other cemeteries and you
can understand our need.
