At a sunny window at the 61d home- stead at Maple Hill farm, there has for over a week been a bright bit of cheer in contrast to the prevailing wintry hues—three fragrant pink blossoms of a tea rose in full bloém, also the deep red blossoms of sal- via.

The fund which is about $1700, is now in the custody of the town - treasury, having been accepted by the town, and is available for the purpose, whenever the town by appropriation, or the people by subscription, the amount is’ sufficient for a suitable memorial, The. Honor " Roll in front «of the town hall has served its purpose. It is of a temporary nature and the fund is to substitute an endurable memotial. It has been suggested that a memorial tablet of bronze, bearing the names of all who were in service dnring ,the war, be placed in the towh hall building, as a _substitute for the temporary Roll of Honor. This mattér, in the opinion of pub- lic spirited citizens, sheuld not be pérmitted to lag and steps ought to be taken at once to make provision for the memorial. An active com- miftee ought to be appointed by the town council, to devise ways and means to make the memorial a real- ity. This is a proposition that those who were permitted —to remain at home while the war was on should Solve, fndependent of those who wore he khaki or the blue, as thé memor- ial is to them and ought not to be of their own making. The people of Westerly of teday, it is claimed, should' zee to it that this memorial is erected during their fifie/ and not Jeave the duty to coming generations. Working plans should be formulated, the nature of the 'mémorial deter- mined, and the campaign to raise the required funds commenced before the ground is cleared of snow and ice. “Tt is a good work,” “and the time to begin is here.” Recént real estate transfers record- ed in the office of Town Clerk E: erett W.
