VAST MEMORIAL AT TERRE HAUTE peautiful Park and Boulevard to Honor Dresser, By WILLIAM FORTUNE On the west, bank o£- the Wabash River, near the bridge that carries the National Road across this historic stream, the people of Indiana will build a memorial to Paul Dresser, the man who 1 wrote Indiana’s famous State.song, "On the Banks of the Wabps*' ” The memorial, which will liVfc he form of an artistic acknowledgment of Paul Dresser's service to the people of Indiana; "yill stand "* the western gateway of the State, j greet the thousands of tourists*Agtio will pass that way entering or leaving Terre Haute. A large part of the plans were devised by George E. Kessler, tinfamous landscape engineer, before his death. These embrace a park system for a mile along the Wabash River and a boulevard of thirty-five miles completely encircling Tore Haute, to be knot,as the Paul Dresser Boulevard.

There have been many generous contributions to the fund already, and there is substantial encouragement for the expectation that the people of Indiana will give a. tribute to the author of their State song that will compare favorably with what has been done in ojher States.

body of Paul Dresser will be brought back to his old home and his last resting place on the banks of the Wabash will be made by the people of Indiana a shrine suitably expressive of some of the sentiment of the song—that song which, as Max Ehrmann has said: “Is both a part of Indiana's -very soil and of the universal human heart wherever an American has made a fireside, and love abides.” State Park Conference Fourth jjational conference on State parks is being held this week at Gettysburg, Pa.
