Band Furnishes Music On Wednesday, May 30, Memorial 'Day was very appropriately observed \s|>y McHenry and its citizens and Quests. The weather proved to be fnost favorable, the day being bright flrith sunshine, which brought many tourists and filled our city with visi- [ •iora, friends and former residents- •,-ifrom far and near. Notwithstanding ". that this holiday came in the middle * of the week this year, making the vacation a short one. The city, as usual, was prepared with a spirit of welcome in observance of the day *hown by the many flags in the business sections and at nearly every home in the community. Exercises In Afternoon Hie Memorial Day services "Which were scheduled for 10 o'clock Wednesday morning were postponed until 2 o'clock in the afternoon when they 'were held at the Community high school, the exercises being in charge of the local post of the Legion. They were fortunate in securing Col. A. V. Smith of Waukegan, state's attorney of Lake county, as the speaker oif the day and he was welcomed at the auditorium with a large attendance of those who attended to pay respect to the soldiers of the nation, both living and dead. t? Several different organizations were ' also represented by a goodly number v of American Legion boys present, the Boy Scouts, the ladies of the James B. Perry Fortress of the Daughters of the G. A. R. and last, but not least, the members of the high school band who were seated on the stage and who added much to the program by playing a number of beautiful and patriotic selections. There are only two ^ veterans of the Civil war now living in this vicinity, namely Richard Thompson and Eli Chase. They were not able to be present at the meeting, but they were remembered by all present as every one appreciates the bravery of the heroes of the different wars of our nation from 1776 up to and including the Word war of 1918. The program was opened with two stirring selections by the band led toy their director, Elmer Koerner. This will probably be the last public appearance of the high school band linger the direction of their loved leader, Mr. Koemer, who leaves very soon for Naperville, where he will teach next year. It is with a feeling of sadness and regret that the members of the band and every citizen of McHenry find it necessary to give Mir. Koemer up to a more fortunate high school and it is hoped that his wonderful work with the band will be carried on next year. The next on the program was a number by the members of the Daughters of the G. A. R. which was a memorial to the comrades of the G. A. R. In this service flowers of red, white and blue were laid upon the altar with appropriate verses, after which the roll of the dead was called and as the names of the twenty-six veterans were read a red carnation was laid upon the altar in honor of their memory. Col. A. V. Smith Speaker Col Smith was then introduced by the chairman, Thomas Bolger. Col. Smith was a lieutenant-colonel in the 149th Field Artillery, otherwise known as Reilley's Bucks, and there is no one more fitted to speak on the subject of Memorial Day than this man who saw active fighting across the sea. His talk was full of many good things and he brought out so many interesting, impressive and instructive points that it would be futile to attempt to give it at any length. He followed the history of our nation from 1776 up to the present time as he gave due honor to the soldiers who fought far the things for which our country stands today. The courage, honor and integrity of the heroes of 1776 is the heritage handed down to the future generation after 125 years of men who have carried out these ideals. He also, said that if we remember and carry out the spirit of the words of Laurence, •"Don't Give Up the Ship," that this spirit will sustain the nation. Flags Presented Flags were presented to each of the grades at the public school as well as a large flag for the high school by the commander of the James B. Perry Fortress of the Daughters of the G. A. R., Mrs. Emma Fay. After a representative from each grade had received a flag, Miss Rosalind Nye thanked Mrs. Fay in behalf of the grade and high school. The parade was formed in front of the high school building and was led by the color bearers, followed by the high school band, the members of the American Legion, the Boy Scouts, the school children and many cars to St. Mary's, Woodland and St. Patrick's cemeteries where taps were sounded, selections played by the band and flowers were laid upon the graves of the departed soldiers. " Entertained at Sampson Kent Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Sampson entertained the superintendents and engineers and their wives, of Route 61 north, at their home on Main street Friday evening. Cards furnished the entertainment for a pleasant evening. POPPY DAY HELPS DISABLED VETERANS Young American Girl Originates Idea of Day WWch Is Obsena* Each Year ' Saturday, May 26, was Poppy Day, in McHenry and many of the little red flowers were disposed of on that day and the days folk)wing by the boy Scouts of this city. The poppies sold this year are made by disabled ex-service men in hospitals. The one cent they receive for making each poppy, together with an extra quarter cent paid these men for attaching the Auxiliary label, adds materially to the income of those soldiers who are unable to do any other work. It also occupies their minds and keeps their thoughts off their own troubles. In the sale of poppies money will be obtained that will make it possible to carry on relief work and in wearing the red flower one may recall the sacrifices made by the American soldiers on Flanders fields. Each of the poppies bears the American Legion and Auxiliary label this year. Members of the Auxiliary tell the following story as to the origin of Poppy Day: In the early part of November, 1918, a young American girl was serving her country with the Y. M. C. A. A soldier brought heir a Copy of a magazine containing several patriotic illustrations of how our boys fought and died in Flanders Field. After looking at the magazine she wrote the following verses: "O, you who sleep in Flanders Field, Sleep sweet to rise anew. We caught the torch you threw And holding high, we keep the faith of all who died. We cherish, too, the poppy, red. That grows in fields where valor led, It seems to signal to the skies, That blood of heroes never dies, But lends a luster to the red of the flowers that bloom above the dead, In Flanders Fields. And now the torch and poppy red, We wear in honor of our dead. Fear not that ye have died for naught, IWe'veV learned the lesson ye have taught In Flanders Fields." As she was finishing the last line • committee from a Y. M. C. A. conference presented her a check for ten dollars in appreciation of her services as hostess for the hut. After thanking them she said she would buy bright fed Flanders Field poppies with it all. She showed them her poem which she had just written and they thought it a wonderful idea. Soon a large number around the hut were wearing poppies in honor of those who died. After awhile the National Conference of the Y. M. C. A. accept ed the poppy as a Memo-'al Day flower and the day was started. In this manner the soldiers who died in Flanders Field are honored. WORK ON ROUTE 61 MOVING RAPIDLY CEMENT POURING STARTS NEAR RICHMOND WILLIAM D. GATES RECEIVES HIGH HONOR President of Terra Cotta Ceramic Company Is Awarded Craftsmanship MeHal One of the most coveted honors, that of receiving the Craftsmanship medal, was conferred on William D. Gates of Terra Cotta recently when he received this medal for "distinguished achievement in ceramie arts. The medal was awarded at a meeting of the American Institute of Architects in St. Louis. It is a large gold medal and is very seldom awarded, Mr. Gates being about the only person in this country ever to have received one. "The medal has been won by the whole band of employees of the local factory and shows what co-operation can do," said Mr. Gates, who does not wish to take any credit for winning it himself. Rather, he says, it is the property of the employees who are continually working for a better factory product. Mr. Gates is the president of the Terra Cotta Ceramic factory where many from this city are employed, and he is a pioneer in the development of craftsmanship in terra cotta, having been engaged in this business more than forty years. The medal means that the work of the plant is placed on a somewhat higher level, possibly, than certain of the other terra cotta plants. Awarding the medal to Mr. Gates is an honor, indeed, and is a source of satisfaction to him, a man who is devoting his entire life to the work. Mr. Gates has just completed a beautiful new home south of the Ter ra Cotta factory and when the grounds are completed, this place will surpass anything in this part of the country. State Will Pave About One MHe Leading From Route 61 Toward & Crystal Lake / Work of pouring cement on Route 61, which runs south from the Wisconsin line through Richmond, Ringwood, McHenry and Terra Cotta to Steerville Crossing, is now in full swing. The strip north of McHenry is practically completed and good progress ia. being made in the laying of the slab sooth from McHenry to Terre Cotta. Efforts are being made by the city council of Crystal Lake to have the state pave a strip of 700 feet between the North estern tracks and the city limits on Terra Cotta avenue to complete the connection from Crystal Lake with Route 61. The State Highway department will build about a mile of road to connect Route 61 with the above mentioned city, but the 700 foot strip, which is bounded by farm land, will not be paved. This strip will be detached from the city if the state is willing to pave it. Pouring Cement Near Richmond Cement pouring is now in progress near Richmond, the S. & H. Construction company starting the big mixer at the Wisconsin line the first of last week. They are making rapid progress and expected to finish to the north village Jimits of Richmond in about a week's time. Several more trucks for hauling ingredients to the mixer were put on the job and their usual schedule of 700 to 800 feet of completed pavement a day is being accomplished. Until the arrival of the additional trucks on Wednesday of last week the big mixer had to be halted at intervals to await the coming of the trucks, as the newly graded ground 6nly permitted the hauling of two batches at one time instead of the usual load of three batches. Force of Sixty Men The company has a force of about sixty men on the job and the headquarters for loading and unloading of materials have been established near the North Western depot at Richmond. The big hopper is set up there and a traveling crane is busy most of the time unloading gravel and sand cars and keeping the loading hoppers filled with materials. A shallow pit is made beneath the hopper and into this the trucks back down and the exact amount of materials for each mixing are dropped into the trucks. A large gasoline pump is installed at the loading headquarters, where motor fuel is dispensed to the trucks, the traveling crane and the big mixer. Between 300 and 400 gallons of gas are used each day when the machines are active. If the present rapid progress continues it is likely that the entire strip will be open for use by Labor Day. MRS WILLIAM J. WELCH PASSED AWAY SUNDAY Mrs. William J. Welch, 62 years old, passed away at her home on Main street about 10 o'clock Sunday even ing. May 27. Funeral services were held Wednesday morning, May 30, at 10:30 o'clock at §t. Patrick's church with burial in St. Patrick's cemetery. Obituary will appear in these columns next week.
