Mayor George A. Quigley was toastmaster. Besides Captain Lockhart others who spoke were Congressman Augustine Loner- gan and Mayor Richard Kinsella, of Hartford. The former congratu- lated the state for having such a community as New Britaln and praised it for the gratitude to the men who were in the service which it showed by turning cut in large | numbers during the parade. Mayor Kinselli proposed a silent to:st to the 116 men who died in the service Captain Lockhart in being intro- duced by Mayor Quigley said in part “One subject that is dear to my heart is t of the American sol- dier.

One of the rarest of virtues in pub- hie life today is gratitude, and when a city shows by sueh an outpouring of its people that it is indeed grate- ful to the men who sacrificed their time and energy for the preserva- tion of our free institutions, it is doing honor alike to its service men and to itself. “There struck me, the procession today, ought that was forged when I witnessed the review sallant 26th division under General lidwards in Boston in April; and the equally compelling sentiment created by the review of the First division under General McGlachlin in Wash- ington this week; that the men who icft their vocations to carry the flag of the United States to victory have something which no man can take from them, the great consciousness Gf u duty well done. here is epitomized hration today the stor. raticn in the war.

Their wounds must t be a handicap to them but must instead be their badges of valor and must entitle them to first considera~ fion in the lives of-our peaple. “And w are we to say to those wha efforts alleviated the suffer- ings of the men in arms, our surgeons and nurses who followed the troops under the banner of the Red Cross and brought cheer and hope when cheer and hope were needed. We can not say too much of the success of their work and their record will be cherithed in our memories. Our hearts go out today to the members of the welfare organizations, many of whom were barred from actual par- ticipation in the conflict on account of physical reasons who. neverthe- less, volunteered to carry creature comforts wherever the battle raged as T watched the same uvon me of the in this cele- of the whole and and ! thickes here was recall army “And it is well {he army behind the ways recruited to full strength.

The Victrola and Victor Records are scientifically coordinaced and synchronized in the processes of manufacture, making it necessary to use them together to achieve a perfect result, The greatest singers and instrumentalists are exclusive Victor artists not only because their interpretations are so faithfully recorded on Victrola Records, but because the Victrola is the one instru- ment that plays them with the degree of perfection and beauty of tone that meets the approval of the artists themaselves. When you play Victrola Records on the Vietrola—and only on the Victrola—you really hear these great artists axactly as they themselves heard and approved their own work.
