NINE,
ATFORD'S
MOST FITTING TRIBUTE
(Special to The Times.)
Stratford, May 3 Undaunted bj
tha threatening weather of Saturday
! morning Mayor Abraham Wellington
and the other members of the Ameri
can Day committee carried out their
program which they had worked sev
eral weeks to arrangeas planned,
and the celebration proved to be a
most fitting tribute for the cause of
Americanism for which it was in
tended. Anarchists, Bolshevists,
or Reds, if any there be in Strat
ford who witnessed the parade and
exercises at Academy Hill, must have
fully realized their cause was a hope
less one as the thousands of school
children and groups marched down
Main street to the monument waving
American flags, apparently being
thrilled with . delight of having the
oportunity of turning what had been
"reported was to be a Red day into a
great Red, White and Blue Day,
Then, too, at the monument, the Rev.
John Cotter of Hartford, worn from
the hardships of the recent World
War in which he took an active part
overseas for several months dealt the
death blow to Bolshevism in " his
wonderful address of the afternoon.
