SMYRNA ROTARY CLUB NEWS
Elmer p. Corrie Gives Talk on
Monuments and Memorials

At the regular meeting of the
Smyrna Rotary Club held Thurs
day evening at the Wayside Inn,
the members were entertained by
Miss Mary E. Denney, daughter of
DR.. and Mrs. Reuben E. Denney, of
Elkins Park, Pa, who sang sever
al selections, which were very
much enjoyed by the Rotarians.
The program was in charge of Ro-
tartan Elmer P. Corrie, who gave
talk on his vocation, is classifi-
cation in the Rotary Club being
dealer in monuments and Cemetery
Memorials. He compared the pres
ent day Cemetery Memorials with
those of ancient times. Going back
to the days of the Egyptian Pha-
rohs, some of whose tombs are be-
ing opened today by explorers, and
priceless works of art being remov-
ed and placed in museums. While
the ancient memorials were very
elaborate and extensive in size,
those used today are very modest
by comparison. The sarcophagus
is still used today by those persons
whose wealth will permit, but the
majority of persons use a plain
monument or headstone. He went
on to describe the different kinds
of marble, granite, and other ma
terials used in these memorials,
and told where these materials are
found. Also described the methods
used in making and erecting the
various kinds of memorials in the
Cemetery, and the training of men
to do this work. Visiting Rotar-
ian present, L. L. Layton of the
