'J he several schools in the valley are
invited to participate with us if they
have no other arrangements, meet
with us in the village or at tho ceme
tery. . .
It is hoped some of our patriotic
owners of automobiles will recollect
those of our old comrades who are una
ble, to march, as well as the ladies of
the W. It. C. Kxcutive Committee.
The order of tho Department of Ore
gon for tho observation of Memorial
Day is as follows :
Memorial Day, the "Day of Days."
of the Grand Army of the Kepuhilc, iti
allied organizations and all patriotic
American citizens is near at hand, und
the Department Commander directs
every I'ost in this Dej Brtment to make
all necessary arrangements for the
proper and reverent observance of Fri
day, May 30, in loving remembrance of
our dead comrades.
Let no soldier's grave be forgotten,
but as in the cemeteries of our larie
cites and towns, ho in'.the quiet 'country
aide graveyards let tho fragrant Mow
ers of the surinirtime be strewn by
tender hands n memory of thu "loved
and lost.
Let the (lag beloved by our comrades
be planted above their honored dust
and left there to wave, through storm
and sunshine as tokens of "undying
love from comrades of tho war."
Many who were with us on last
Memorial Day have "passed beyond
the veil" and to us is left the blessed
memory of their noble lives, anil the
duty of covering their "low green
tents" with fairest (lowers.
Let every comrade lay aside the care
and labor of every day life and give
the entire day to the sad and solemn
duties belonging to it.
"Let us come very close together on
this dBy.to us tho dearest and swtetest
of the year, and as we march to the
cemeteries and feel the old time elbow
touch, perhaps a little more tremulous
than of yore, but always that of a
comrade, may our hearts he so filled
by a sense of fraternity that only lov
ing thought can find a place therein.
So shall we receive a baptism of bless
edness and a hem-diction of peace; and
thu world as well a lesson in loyally to
our country and our ling, beneath
whose folds every soldier's grave is an
altar of atriotimn."
The l'osts are urged to seek the co
operation of all civic and military or
ganizations, of the public generally
and especially the active help of the
children of the public schools in the
work of Memorial season.
Lincoln's Gettysburg address will he
read or recited as part of the exercises
on Memorial Day.
It is the earnest desire of the De
partment Commander that this Memor
ial Day, May 30, l'.tlll, may bo more
generally observed in the Department
of Oregon than ever before.
The Department Commander is sure
that the l'osts will not neglect the
very important duty of visiting the
public schools on some convenient day
previous to the 30th inst., and repre
sentative men should be detailed to ad
dress the children briefly on topics
suitable to the ocasion.
Let every Tost in the Department
arrange for Memorial services on Sun
day, May "."), which has been designated
as Memorial Sunday. Invite all allied
organizations, the Spanish War Veter
ans, the Oregon National Guard and
any other associations to accompany the
comrades to some church, there to join
in reverent worship of the Great ruth
er of us all.
Tho . beautiful custom of strewing
flowers upon the waters in memory of
those comrades who sleep in old
OceanV'gray and melancholy waste,"
should he observed wherever it is pos
sible to do so.
It is expected that the comrades: of
the Grand Army of the Republic and
all loyal citizens will join in the i tl'ort
to discourse the desecration of Memor
ial Day by those tvho forget its solemn
signilicauce and who would make it a
time of sports and amusement.
Rusiness men are especially request
ed to close their doors while the Mem
orial services are being held and to
join with the Grand Army in the cere
monies of the day.
