mains a mystery.

Memorial Day this year should mean a great deal to all of us. It originally honored our war dead who fought to keep a nation together. Now we are fighting to keep Freedom and Justice alive over the entire world. Yes, let us honor our country’s heroes with the deepest reverence and continue to do so in the years to come.

103 Graduates . . . Next week, Greencastle high school will graduate 103 young men and women, the largest senior class in the history of 64 Commencement exercises.

We took a short jaunt on one of the city's two fire trucks yesterday afternoon -the Seagrave, which was purchased when Walter Cooper was mayor of Greencastle, 25 years ago. Fireman Bill Lawrence did the driving and we did the riding. It was an exercise run for the truck and we found that It could really travel.

OBITUARY The God who fills immensity, Himself will give, And make it joy to live, Tho he may take All else away for loves own sake. He will all loss replace; With added grace. Lay in the empty hand some gift, No soul is left to drift Unblessed upon time’s sea. Homer Maynard, eldest son of John and Della Smyth was born in Fillmore April 4. 1916 on May 12, 1942, he quietly and peacefully went to sleep, aged 26 years, 1 month and 8 days. He grew to manhood in Fillmore, where he graduated from Fillmore High School in April, 1934. After graduating from F. H. S. he had work on Indiana State Highway. On Sept. 3, 1939 he was united in marriage to Madonna Tincher. They started their happy home in Fillmore j but ere three weeks had passed, he ; was a victim of streptococcus throat from which he never fully recovered, although he did return to his work for a few weeks. In April. 1940 he had to give up and was never well again. This devoted wife truly did all that it was possible to do to help him regain his health, but to no avail. He was a devoted husband, trusted her fully, she coming into his life, was one of the rays of sunshine he enjoyed most There is a link death cannot sever, Love and remembrance last for-

ever.

In July, 1940 they came back to his mother’s home, where a mother’s \ love never tired of helping to make his life happy—did all she could to help call back his health. It was characteristic of Homer to be modest, unassuming, gave little j weight to conventionality but did set | value upon the substance rather than the form. In May, 1941 he went to a hospital in Evansville, when he came home in July, he told his mother he had made peace with his God, although life was precious to him, he was anxious to be well but whatever happened—“All was well.’’ We, his friends, will miss his smile and friendly greeting, he was always glad to have his friends call. His father preceded him in death, five years ago this May 20. He leaves this devoted wife and mother who each meant so much to him, two brothers. Herschell of Fillmore and Cadet Kenneth Smyth, who now is in Officers Candidate Training school in Camp Lee, Virginia; one sister-in-law, little Gene, his nephew, also Madonna’s sisters and her father and mother, many other | relatives and friends. He has solved it, life’s wonderful problem, The deepest, the strangest, the last, And into the school of the angels. With the answer forever has passed. How strange he should sleep so profoundly, So young, so unworn by the strife, While beside him brimful of hope’s nectar Untouched stood the goblet of life. God knew all about it, how noble, How gentle he was and how brave; How bright, his possible future, Yet, put him to sleep in his grave. God knew all about those who love

him,

How bitter the trial must be, And right through it all, God is loving, And knows so much better than we.

IN MEMORY In memory of Ruby M. Burdett, who passed away five years ago today, May 22, 1937. Gone is the face we loved so dear, Silent the voice we loved to hear Tis sad, but true, we wonder why The best are always the first to die. Even death has its wonderful mission Though it robs us of those we love It draws us from our surroundings To long for the meeting above. Hugh Burdett Mr. and Mrs. Eugene LeWallen and daughter.
