could have a two andTTMlf acre

ave., with an. entrance from

passed around a map showing.the
location of the site. Some mem-bers
voiced the opinion the plot
.was too distant from the center of
the district. Some inquired if the
large playground for1, the.new Sea-man

o_f the needs of the section, As
there was no definite answer, the
Mayor passed on ttf-tbe considera-tion
of the municipal-ambulance.

desired _a municipally owned
ambulance, to which President
Mar'k_J£ronclch replied "Yes." Mr.

four men would have to be added
to the village payroll to be on hand
should an ambulance be needed.

Rene A. Gagnon, of Manchester, N. H., as he unveiled the mural
of the raising of the Stars and
Stripes on Iwd Jima In the dugout
of William Clinton Story Post, A,L.,
Friday night The building was
crowded to .the limit by those who
desired to attend the exercises.
Mr. Gagnon, who was one of the
six Marines, who helped to raise
the—flag^Jtvas introduced by Com-mander
William H. McCIoskey. He
said it was a pleasure and a great
honor to come to Freeport to do
honor to two of the boys who later
lied In action. Expressing the
iope they had not died in vain, he
added he hoped the war was not
fought In vain.
"A lot of those who fought on
!wo Jima were asking the same
question/' hercontinued. "A lot of
nen were killed. But it was not
ong before the question was
answered. A few days later a B-29
anded on the Island and its crew
members were saved. A B-29 crew
s small compared to the 5.000 who
lied on Iwo Jima, but if the war
lad been "prolonged, the crews of
many other planes could have been
saved. So we decided the battle
was not fought in valn.u
