To the Editor, New Britain Dear Sir: Will you please permit the writer space in your valuable publication for the purpose of extending thanks, on behalf of the committee of the memorial service which was held at Walnut Hill park Sunday afternoon, September 21st. It was through the very kind ef- forts and co-operation on the part of the clergymen, of all denominations, of the city of New Britain, that this service was an inspiration and com- Heraid, the warm cli- | i 94.25 Quality U.S. Rubber and Beacon Falls— These Hip Rubber Boots were made to order for the U.

H. W. Maier, Rev. J. T. Sulli- van and Dr. G. W. C. Hill, advice and active part in the service. The commiteee also wishes to thank most heartily John dsay for hi work on the chorus which added very materially to the success of the serv- ice. The committee realizes that Mr. Lindsay had to but in considerable work in order to get the young men and women out to rehearsal. We also wish fo thank most heartily Frederick Latham for his very beau- tiful rendering of Kipling's recession- al “Lest We Forgel.” We also wish to thank the press for their very gen- erous support which was evident all through the celebration. We wish to thank the Y. M. T. A. & B. for the use of their platform occasion and if at any time any mem- ber of the memorial service comunit- tee can be of service to the T. A. B. society we shall be glad to co-oper- ate with them. We also wish to thank the general public for their co-operation in bringing about the success of this welcome home cele- Dbration, particularly the memorial service. Your committee feels that these services have accomplished wonderful results. It has brought the clergy- men of the city closer. They under- stand each other better and they rea- lize that we are all travelling on thaf broad highway where unity and peace dwells foreve The sorrowing brought together on and they have come to understand better the one and other's sorrows and afflictions where we ave sure that there has been established things these sorrowing parents better under- tand one with the other. They are all on a common platform and willing to work and do for one another. These services were no doubt instrumental in healing up quite a number of mis- understandings and breaches which were more or less of an imaginary nature than of real facts. It would be a splendid tribute to the memory of our dear boys who made the su- preme sacrifice if a similar service could be held under similar condi- tions at least once a year. Tt would { do more in the estimation of your committee to bring the people to- gether, it would do more to estab- lish the real principles of Christianity and Americanization than any other one thing. What we need in New Britain is real co-operation by all | races, creeds and classes and a serv- ice of this kind would bring about such co-operation and results which we are aiming to establish MEMORTAL SERVICE COMMITTEE, G.
