Rev. A Ball led in prayer, and the played “Nearer My God to Thee. Rev. Charles 8. Wyckoff, chaplain of Brock-Barnes post, made the speech of presentation and gave the howitzer to the town. While it was a grim and forbidding rgminder of war, he said, it was not intended as a memorial to the conflict but w meant to commemorate the deeds of valor and spirit of sacrifice which the American people showed in those troublous times. | In accepting the gift, First Select- man John J. Kimmel regretted \lm the present location of the weapon | could not be permanent. At some fu | ture time, ho said, the lot would have | to be used for other purpos but | | until, then the cannon might remain where it is now located and later the | town would endeavor to find a per-| | manent location for it.

Most of | | these promises were made during the campaign. Commander Cramer told of the activities of the American | Legion and also gave a brief history of its organization. He spoke of the \difficultics encountered, what the or- ganization had accomplished and mentioned specifically the fact that the Legion was now growing and prosperous, becoming more of a | | power each year. Factional differ- | ences which had existed at one time have been gradually ironed out. The | Legionnaires in the country today | numbered approximately 800,000 and within a short time it was expected that the r.embership throughout the United States would in a short time cqual one per cen of the population. !He spoke briefly of the Connecticut department and informed his audi- ence that at the present time there were over 8,00 | members in the Nut- | meg state. It was expected that this numbr would be increased consider- ably within the next year.
