Memorial Day Meaning Told "Memorial Day is a day when, by common consent, we pause to become conscious of our national life and to rejoice in the wonderful country hi which we live," remarked Sam Davey, Joint Memorial Day general chairman for Ironwood. "We recall," said Davey, "what our country has done for each of us and to ask ourselves what we can do for our country. This we must do in the great crisis and tragic times in which we live. We all have a part to play in harmonizing the fundamental conflict that exists in the United States today." Davey continued: "That conflict is represented by demonstrations and propaganda directed in reality against the present conflict.

The efforts of a small but wilful minority who urges marches to destroy the will of the American people and the servicemen who carry out that will on the battlefield of today shall be counterbalanced by those of us who should indicate our support of that will and those servicemen. "We need not plan grand parades and demonstrations to show our support of our youth in Vietnam. We can quietly and in reverence take part in honoring our departed comrades at the cemetery observances and by our presence at the Memorial services conducted by the Joint Memorial Day Committee at the Ironwood Memorial Building. "It has been indeed heartwarming to see the great number of people who on the morning of Memorial Day give up a day of vacation in order to take part and observe the services at the Memorial Building and at PAGt 10 Trenwood Daffy Glebe, Wednesday, May 24,1967 the cemetery.

We hope you continue this support." DON'T LOSE TOUR Relax enjoy one of Ghef Herman's great charcoal grilled steaks any night.
