Enroll Children In
Founders Roll

County chairmen, organization lead
ers and individuals who are assisting
in the enrolment of the children for
the Book of Memory of the Children's
Founders Roll of the Stone Mountain
Confederate Memorial are urged to
begin sending in names Immediately
in order that the names may be tab
ulated and listed as they come in.
While the association expects to
make the announcement of enroll
ments on Memorial Day it will facil-
itate the work of grouping them by
cities, counties and organization group
if the names are sent in periodically
between now and memorial day.
Everybody is urged to- enroll the
children, The association hopes to
have and expects to have by Memorial
Day the greatest list of names that
was ever recorded. The children are
keenly enthusiastic about the Memoir
ial and the older people realize also
what wonderful historical record the
book of Memory will be in later years.
Membership in the Chlidren's Foun-
der's Roll for generation after gener-
alton will be the written proof of a
heritage of race greater than the line
age of kings, and each child will re-
ceive a small bronze medal showing
that he is member of the Children's
Founders Roll. Later each will re-
ceive a certificate showing page and
line of enrolment.
The Book of Memory not only af-
fords the children the privilege of
thus entering their names in the list
of those who helped to create the
worlds greatest memorial but it gives
every family the opportunity to me-
morialize its heroes of the sixties.
One dollar was named as the child
ren's contribution because the Asso-
citation feels that it is small enough to
enable every child in the South to
have a part in the memorial. 1t also
makes it possible for all families to en-
roll the names of their beloved Con-
federate kinsmen whether or not they
feel that they can take one of the adj
ult Founders Roll memberships of one
! thousand dollars.
For each one dollar contributed a
child can enroll any Confederate sol
der that he wishes to remember =
his grandfather, great grandfather
cousin, uncle or friend
One child may enroll as many nam
es as he likes. provided he sends in
one dollar for each name enrolled. For
each one dollar sent in the child will
receive one line for himself and the
person he wishes to memoria1ize. If
he desires to memorialize six persons
his contribution will be six dollars
and he will be given six lines.
| When there are two or more child
rem in family, each child can memoir
ialize the same Confederate soldier or
as many of the children are doing
the Confederate kin in both branches
of the family may be memorialized
by dividing the names between the
children, thus preserving the record of
both paternal and maternal ancestors
and kin
Contributions will be received in the
names of children who are dead-the
same rules governing these applica-
tons as those of living children.
Hundreds of children from all parts
of the country have already enrolled
their names and cards bearing their
serial numbers have already been is
sued to them pending the completion
of the medal and the great book
Each child's name will be enrolled
in the order in which it is received at
the office of the association.
Application blanks will be furnished
to all persons who desire to enroll
their children; and organizations. also
may secure as many of the blanks as
they need to enroll the children.
Names may be sent in through the
mails without the application blank.
