Today, the day set apart by the town of Windhameto do honor to the boys whe left her shops and mills and homes to offer their lives that the world might be a better and cleaner place to: live in. and that this quiet: town might continue its business among the New Bngland hills without .fear of that beast which laid waste Belgium and morthern France, will be the gfeatest day -in the history of the town. For today those boys are back —most of them. for there are between thirty and forty whose sacrifice was accepted and who had their great Wel- come Home in France amidst the bat- tle roar, or on the turbulent high seas, or in the antiseptic cleanliness of the hospital.. Six thousand dollars has been spent to give the returned boys a royal home-coming. The committees have done their work well. Nothing has been overiooked. The service men have been provided with distinctive ges. They will review from a fa- varable vantage point the parade of their escort of homor. They will be regaled at a clambake. They will be jentertained with vaudeville, balloon ascensions and ball games. But prob- ably the most significant part of the celebration is the fact that the exer- cises open with a service in memoriam of those who will never see Windham again and will close .with a service in memoriam of the local national guard, the first organization from this town 1o offer their lives on the altar of lib- erty. The memorial monument to the men from this town who died in _service was erected on the town lawn on Friday. The monument {s of wood sanded and painted to imitate cement. It is in the form of a 25-foot obelisk surmounting a base four feet high and six feet square. The lawn around the base of the monument has been care- fully graded up to the base, so that there is no bfeak between the bottom of the monument and the sround. The monument displays four mottoes, one on each side of the upper part of th base, as follows: O Honor Was Their Shroud. catory service this morning will be conducted by Rev. C. Harley Smith and Rev. Jehn E. Clar) The new hook and ladder autotruck which was to-have been part of the fire department’s contribution to the pa- rade will not be ready in time for the affair. It was promised for the Wel- come Home celebration when it was understood that the date was to be Aug. 21. There ~was an unexpected delay when -the truck was sent to Hartford to have fenders made. The truck is now ready for the varnish and will have to be painted -before it is de- livered. The local fire department is greatly disappointed. as they counted on showing the truck to Norwich vis- itors and telling them of this piece of apparatus, which has no counterpart |in the Rose of New England fire de- partment. Marshal Frank P. Fenton of the pa- rade announced his orders for the day as_follows: L veryihidy e n readiness for the parade.
