Delaware streets. by o'clock on
Memorial Day.
For the purpose Of perpetuating
the memory and honoring their dead
comrades. on each May so. the plac-
ing OF one nag and the firing Of one
salute at each cemetery is being ad-
vocated by many veterans through
out the state. The veterans, real
izing the time is very short, during
which it will be possible for surviv-
ors to honor their dead on this hon
ored day and for fear the day Will
become obsolete, this method IS De-
ing advocated. The plan will be
presented at the next annual session
of the State Council Of Jr. o. U. A.
M. and also at the annual encamp-
ment of the Sons of Veterans and OF
other patriotic organizations.
1t has been suggested also that a
tablet be erected in each cemetery
on which will be constructed a place
70 put the flag and over which the
salute will be fired. The sugges-
ton is made because the exact
location of many of the graves Of
veterans are not known, and the
possibility that in future years the
locations will be entirely forgotten.
II the plan is adopted there will be
honors bestowed on all alike
