What a chain of memories links the past with the present! What a heritage is ours from the effort and struggle of those who lived and labored and died to ad vance the United States of A merica ! The America of 1932 is a product of the past. Our forefathers fought in the wars. They won independence from Great Britain. They spread out over a continent. They fought to preserve thevnion, and to end the curse of slavery. They fought tobring freedom to Cuba; and fought again to save the world from kaiserism. In all these wars men have laid down their lives, a sacrifice for the America of their dreams. Fitting it is for a nation to stop the wheels of, industry and of trade to pay tribute to those whose sacrice made possible the blessings of today. Memorial Day. It comes once each year. Each year slays a fresh toll. Each year sees more men who have worn the nation's uniform going forth to the Grand Re veille. So there are flowers, fresh each year, to lay on the graves of all these heroes. And hearth are touched as the thoughts of the living turn to the sacrifices of the dead. Day of Memories Day of Consecration. IN FLANDERS FIELDS by JOHN McCRAE In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and In the sky The larks, still bravely sin ring, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. ' We are the Dead, Short days ago We lired, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, LoTed and were loved, and sow we lie In Flanders fields. Take up oar Quarrel with the foe I To yon from falling hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold It high If ye break faith with as who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flahders fields. YE ARE NOT DEAD by FRANK E. HERING 'la Flanders still the poppies grow Among the- crosses, bending low. On fragile stems, their cups of red Like censors swinging o'er the dead That fell short days ago. 1 Te are not dead! If It were se We that abide could never go As blithely marching by your bed la Flanders fields. Because your bodies lie below, Above, with an lntenser glow. The Torch moves on; in your brave stead Men dare to bleed as yon have bled That larks may sing, and popples blow In Flanders fields. pi This Page Made Possible by Ithe Following Morris Optical Company Portland General Electric Company Oregon-Washington .Water Service Company Portland Gas & Coke Company Ladd & Busht Bankers State Motors, Inc.
