MOTHER WANTED CHILDREN
IN MEMORIAL DAY PARADE
Editor Marietta Journal:
Dear Sir—For the first time since
I have been a resident of Marietta,
Ga., have we failed to have the chil
dren of the public schools march in
the procession on our I{emorial Day,
a prominent and most beautiful fea
ture of the occasion, and that was
last Friday, April 25.
The president of our Memorial
Association, Mrs. M. R. Lyon, changed
the day froer 26th to the 25th, be
ing Friday, so as to secure the chil
dren, “for,” as she expressed it, “that
is the best of it all, and we will not
have any flowers without the chil
dren.”
But Wednesday was “Victory Loan
Day” and the schools were given a
holiday. A rumor reached our faith
ful president that we would rot be
allowed to have them after all. She
immediately went to a member of the
Board of Education to claim the prom
ise that they had made the associa
tion, but was told that “two holidays
could not be granted in one week—
the Victory Loan was business, and
Memorial Day was only sentjment.”
Think of it! Business versus senti
ment!
So, with aching hearts the little
ones were kept in school; some of
the tiny ones, I was told, went to

school in tears, fér they love Memor
ial Day. Meanwhile we grown-ups
formed our procession as best we
could; gladdened by the spirit of our
young Boy Scouts, who manfully did
their best to redeem the situation,
There were many graves of our
brave Confederate soldiers that miss
ed the loving care of little hands that
day.
No beautiful wreaths adorned the
last resting place of our noble dead;
wreaths, made and worn by the little
children of the schools; and oh! how
we missed the sight of the bright
procession of happy childhood, bear
ing their garlands of flowers; loving
tribute from youthful hearts to the
sleeping heroes, who wore the gray.
Upon our return to the courthouse
we enjoyed a splendid address by the
Hon. Hugh B. Cobb, of Atlanta, Ga.,
filled with ‘“sentiment,” but not one
word of BUSINESS. Also the sweet
song by the Baptist church choir.
It was not business that carried
our grandparents, fathers and sons in
to the War Between the States, nor
into the World War.
It was sentiment.
It was the highest sentiment of the
human heart, and we proved to the
world that love of right is greater
than all the business propositions the
world can produce.
So, let this be the first, last and
only denial of the right, to have our
children celebrate this — our own
Memorial Day.

A lover of little children, and a mem
ber of the Memorial Association of
Marietta, Georgia. :

THOMAS CO. VOTES
$700,000 BONDS FOR
PERMANENT ROADS
Thomas county voted Tuesday, and
voted right. It is one of the best and
most prosperous of South Georgia
counties, which means that it is one
of the best in the state, and therefore
in the whole United States.
But Thomas is no better than Cobb,
which has so long been the banner
county of the Empire State of the
South. In either county the farmers
are prosperous and happy, and can
live in their own homes with all the
necessities and many of the luxuries
of life profuced at home.
But to go back to the voting, we
should say that they voted for recad
bonds to the amount of $700,000,
and they now have a chance to get
some highway aid from the Federal
Government, and then again they
may be given some of those army
trucks and roadbuilding tools which
the government has on hand and
nothing to do with them.
Absolutely certain it is that none
of the counties that have no funds of
their own, and that will not vote
bonds, will get any Federal aid. The
Federal Government believes in help
ing those who help themselves.
Thomas county voted right? We
should say they did! The count
showed 1609 for bonds and only 241
against, so there can be no doubt
about how the people there stand on
the road question.
