REJECTS
"HORR0RS OF WAR"
BRIDGE MEMORIAL

The governor and council at It's ses-
sion yesterday approved the report of
the Kittery memorial commission re-
jecting the memorial for the Kittery
bridge as submitted to it recently pre-
liminary to it's being cast in bronze.
The title of the memorial was "Hor-
rors of War"
The committee found that the memo
rial as submitted to the governor and
council was not the design which 1t
originally selected.
The theme which the commission de-
sired to present was preparedness to
Prevent the Sacrifices of War" The
changes in the memorial as completed
had eliminated all suggestion of pre-
paredness and left simply those figures
portraying the horrors of war. This
entirely altered the message and made
it absolutely unacceptable and inappro-
pirate in the opinion of the members
of the American Legion constituting
the commission to select the memorial
for this site in accordance with the
legislative act
The members of the commission are
Gen. Albert Greenlaw of Augusta. Col
Perley Z. Ford of Sanford. Col. Sher-
man III. Shumway of Skowhegan, Capt
Edward j. Callahan of Lewiston and
Lieut.. Jasper II. Hone of Pressure Isle.
