VERNPNIA, OREGON, FRIDAY JUNE 4, 1926
DUCKS WIN
TWO GAMES
MEMORIAL DAY WAS
PERFECT DAY HERE
In every detail, exactly as pub­
lished in last week’s Eagle, the
day’s program for Memorial day
was carried to a finish last Monday.
The day waa a perfect one for the
beautiful and solemn ceremonies for
such occassions and those expected
to participate were not tardy in ap­
pearing for action.
The W. R. C. and the American
Legion were in charge of the day
and program and they were ably
assisted by the Boy Scouts, Spanish
and Civil War Vets, school children
and citizens, some of all classes tak­
ing part in the parade at 10 o’clock.
The Memorial day services were
held at the church in the afternoon
and a large crowd attended.
The
days services at the church were as
advertised previously and the hon­
ored guests—Justin Weed and J. B.
Stevens, both had parts on the well
arranged and splendid program of
talking and singing.
Many people were out of the city
both Sunday and Monday, but those
who remained and attended the var­
ious events of the day were glad that
they did so.
The buildings were
beautifully decorated Monday, al­
though on Sunday very few flags
were noticed.
