The emblciii has since been care¬ fully guarded to he presented to the town at some public ceremonial, af¬ ter which the band rendered another selection.
The dedicatory adilress was made by Ammond Messinger.

Hon, Everett Kent, representative of the 30th Congressional District of Pennsylvania at W^ashington, D C, delivered an oration consisting of a sjilendid and worthwhile patriotic discourse, followed by a wonderful heart to heart talk to the gathering by the Hon. Charles A. Snyder, State Treasurer.
The closing remarks were made by Ex-Lieut.

Legion of Nazareth; "taps" sounded! "The Star Spangled Banner" by the band and benediction pronounced by Rev. Bauer and the ceremonial closed.
A very noticeable and pleasing feature of the afternoon was a fre¬ quent mingling in the crowd of the "boys of '61," who somewhat feeble in step but faces beaming with d light, evidently being pleased ti greet the 1917-18 "vets."
The memorial was secured for the town by popular subscriptions whic! were solicited  by a   hustling    co munity committee,  which   -was    d termined  that  Tatamy   should     di velop a community spirit  seco that ot no town in the State, construction work  was done b.v Wenz Company, marble and granite workers, of .Allentown.
