MEMORIAL DAY
OBSERVED HERE
Parade Through Streets
And Service at Battlefield
Constitute Program

Memorial Day was observed
here by many with a parade
originating at the grade school
buildings under the direction of
Jack Stovall. Decoration of
graves and the American Le-
gion ceremony was held at the
Custer Battlefield cemetery at
1000 am.

mony at the graves at the Bat
tlefield in which a prayer was
given by Rev. C. A. Bentley, a
salute by the American Legion
firing squad and taps by Bar
new Sibley.
The address was given by
Rev. R. N. England, the key
thought of which was that the
challenge of the dav is that we
must strive to be wise to pre-
serve and worthy to possess our
American heritage and freedom.
Rev. England said in part,
american democracy is not en-
dangered nearly so much by
SOFc1 1llllC1lUdl 'lldl1SSS III ol1ASA
lands as it is by the degenera-
ton in character of it's own cit
liens. The essence of democratic
government is that people shall
be in the main. rulers Of them
selves. Self control. liberty I'M
der self restraint for the sake
of the COMMON good-this is
the ha sic IF orr American gov
eminent"
Musical selections were Of
fered bv a Girls chorus and
"America" was Mayed by the
high school band.
Post Commander Dan Maddox
spoke a word Of welcome to the
assembled crowd.
Approximately 500 attended
