committing and stop this practice.

that time, potted plants such as
lilies, tulips and hyacinths, have dis
appeared from the graves.

state, "It is almost unbelievable
that there are certain persons liv-
ing in this community who could
have no more respect for the de-
ceased citizens of this locality than
to steal the floral tributes placed on
the graves in our community's cem-
etery"

the plea are Harold W. t. Purnell,
president; J. Ralph Carey, secre-
tary; Harold Hatfield, treasurer;
Harry Hudson and Heman Roach.
