TW O - Heppner Gazette-Times. Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, May 2, 1990 Garden clubs have use for casket flags Have you wondered what to do with a casket flag? Garden clubs of the Oregon State Federation, of which the lone and Heppner clubs are members, are col lecting these flags for the “ Avenue of Flags" project for Willamette Na tional Cemetery, Portland. A considerable number have already been donated as well as con tributions for the poles. “ It is a beautiful sight to see them on display along the roadways within the cemetery on Memorial Day, Fourth of July, and Veteran’s Day,” said Helen M artin, chairm an for Willamette National Cemetery Blue Mtn. District No. 10. "The Boy Scouts place small flags on each grave for these special days.” Any donation may be made to a member of any garden club ( Hepp ner, lone, Boardman. Echo, etc.,) to Helen Martin, lone, or they may be sent directly to Willamette National Cemetery, but in that case the district chairman would have no record of the donation. The name of the deceased veteran, branch of service, name and address and relationship to the donor should all accompany the donated casket flag. The donor will receive a cer tificate of appreciation from an of ficial of the cemetery. The Oregon State Federation of Garden Clubs have been landscap ing the cemetery for over 30 years and will continue to do so. A carillon bell tower has been erected. A tape project for playing bells is underway as well as the “ Avenue of Flags” project. “ A visit to Willamette Na tional Cemetery would be well worth your time,” said Martin.
