who had made the supreme sacrifice
while fighting for the cause of bu-‘
manity, be inscribed. .
The meeting was attended by close
to five hundred. the majority of
whom were tax-service men, and al-
though it was devoid of the anticipat-
ed "flying of fur." an asionai ar-
gumen: or a flash of numor lent the
desired effect.
Contrary to expectations, the “other
faction." a name sometimes applied
to those who had previously voted that
‘the fund be used in the erection of a
home. failed to offer any opposition
to the prevailing sentiment. This
lin itself is positive proof of the fact
Phat “Dame Rumor" was sadly in
‘wrong when she intimated that there
was any friction between the alleged

Captain John Keogh gave a stir-
ring speech in which he expressed
his sentiments as being in common
with those of the majority. His
words served to fully assure those
whose minds had been poisoned by
the. talk of a handful of "knockers"
or the infulence of out of town pap-
ers. that Mr. Keogh was in no way af-
tfiliatcd with a movement to discour-
‘age the idea of an elaborate cele-
bration.
Mayor Jeremiah Donovan called the
meeting to order shortly after eight
o'clock. explained that the purpose of
the gathering of ex—scrvice men was
to decide just what disposition would
be made of the mom-y in the Welcome
Home fund. and requested that tame
present elect a chairman. Lieuten-
.'ant William E. lianlon was chosen ror
that office by unanimous vote. with
James Creagh as secrt-tary. After
reading the call to the meeting. the sec-
retary. on request of the chairman.
rt ad a copy of the form letter sent out
by Mayor Donovan some months ago
to sixty prominent business men of
Norwalk and “'iiton inviting them to
serve on a committee for the purpose
of raising a sum of money to be spent
for a celebration on the occasion of
the return of Norwalk'» soldiers, sail-
ors and marines—a c9lebrail0a. illt‘
like of which Norwulk had never wit‘
m used and one that would he sur-
passed by no other municipality in the.
state. The object of having this letter
rend was to bring out distinctly the
fact that the original idea of a “'el-
come Home Fund was in the observ-
ance of a monster demonstration. and
not in the erection of a home or club-
house. Edward J. Spian presented a
resolution which provided that the
money be apt nt as outlined in the may-
or‘s letter. and instructed the commit-
tee. of sixty to act accordingly. l
Before the resolution was vored
upon. however. (‘aptain John Keogh
was accorded the floor. took a position
directly in front of the gathering and
entered into a long and stirring opeech.
The listeners were thrilled by the
captain's words of wisdom, patriotism
and good fellowship. and expl‘t.‘dt’d
their approval by an outburst of pro
longed applause at the conclusion or
same. The gist of Mr. Keogh‘s ad-
dress follows: i
“There can‘t be any doubt in the
minds of any of us as to what. you men
want. There can't be any question,
from the mc cling the other ni'zht. from
the talk around thestreets. and from
the item‘s in the newspapers, that you;
then want an all-day celebration. The;
fund was raised for that celebration.
and for no other purpose. Starting'
from there and assuming that the great
majority of you boys are in favor of
such a ctlebration. it gets down simply
to a question of detail as to the nature
of what sort of a celebration you shall
have. . And after all. it makes no great,
difference whtthcr we live a clam-g
bake, whether he have. a sheep roast or
a barbcue. It, doesn‘t make much dif-
ft renco whether tint parade Winds up
on the green or in South Kora-(ilk. but
if we fight amongst ourselves. if we
split into factions, then that does make
a great dral of difference. And that is
what, so far as we can. we must avoid.
A lot was said that would have been
better left Unsaid. A lot credited to
some of us that never was said. No

“This welcome Home Fund was
raised while we were away. and after
we had commenced to c\~1e back little
was said about it. It went along from
week to week. month to month and ”lit-
tle wan done in the way of getting the
celebration under way. It was said
that it would be well to wait until the

the canine min was bold in city hall
and outlinedphns for an all day cele-
bration to be held on September 10. At
that meeting Mayor Donovan exiled
upon one of his committee, and Judge
John J. Walsh got up with the propo-
sition that only part of the money be
spent on (celebration and that the bal-
ance be put into a fund that was to go
towards building a home for all service

Mr. Bennctt‘s suggestion brought
forth the hearty approval of those

up further. however, the chairman ex-
plained that the question of Mr.

about it was {hot it was a mis-under-
