    The gravesites, taken at the
 historic Union Cemetery in Steu-
 benville, depict the Wars of our
 Nation, a grim reminder of the
 brave heroes who lost their lives
 in times of strife.
    The first order for the obser-
  vance of Memorial Day was issued
  in May, 1868 by General John A.
  Logan of the Grand Army of the
  Republic, "for the purpose of
  strewing with flowers or other-
  wise decorating the graves of
  comrades who died in defense of
  their Country". For many years
  after the Civil War, the GAR in
  the North and the Confederate
  Veterans in the South took charge
Sof Memorial Day in their re-
  spective  communities.  When
  these founding organizations be-


came unable to carry on these
rites actively, the American Le-
gion pledged to help perpetuate
the annual observance of Memor-
ial Day, Commander Hall ex-
plained. Although it began as a
day to commemorate the dead of
all wars, Memorial Day has also
become an appropriate occasion
for the decoration of the graves
of family and friends.
  Residents of Wintersville are
cordially invited to attend Mem-
orial Day services on Thurs-
day, May 30, 1968, sponsored by
Wintersville Post #557 of the

   The "Citizen"' will be glad to
 take pictures of social and civic

 increasing  demand, publicity

 continue to be the largest weekly

 continue to be known as the news-
