Plan So Local People
Can Renew Driver's
Licenses Here Later
People residing in Mount Ver-
non and Lisbon and surrounding
territory will be able to renew their
driver's licenses at the City Hall in
Mount Vernon on one or two Satur-
days late in June, according to ten-
tative plans of Jim H. Smith, Llnn
county sheriff.
At the time of the last renewal
of licenses, representatives from
the sheriff's office were in Mount
Vernon on two occasions and many
local people renewed their driver's
licenses at those times. Because
this plan worked out so well then
Mr. Smith expects to do the same
thing this year although he has not
received all instructions on the
handling of the renewals. Iowa will
begin renewing driver's licenses
June 9th.
Highway ,Official
Says Truck Parking
Here Is Hazardous
An official of the Iowa Highway
Commission who passed thru Mount
Vernon Tuesday morning told a
local man, who happened to be at a
filling station at Mechanicsville
where the official stopped, that it
took him three minutes to pass
thru the Mount Vernon ,business
district. The highway official said
13 west bound cars were held up
by trucks unloading and that there
were seven cars going east which
were delayed by trucks unloading.
He mentioned further that there
was a big beer truck near a danger-
ous intersection which blocked an
east view of the highway to a car
approaching from the north.
"Phis official did not know that
he was talking to a Mount Vernon
citizen, but he expressed himself in
no uncertain terms that the way
trucks were parked on Main street
and were unloading was a real haz-
ard. We agree with him.

which will be presented in the Lit-
tle Theatre Friday and Saturday of

on Saturday. Tickets are still avail-

are all cast in prominent parts.
Others in leading roles are: Jeanet-
te Carlson, Craig Huston, Don Jo-
hannsen, Betty Laughlin, Betty Chi-
quet, Ben Hoover, Lenore Taylor,
Henry Dthlmann.
The plot of the play concerns a
group of people whose life is pretty
much of a mess. They are invited
to come together on midsummers
eve by a strange old man. It is his
plan to get them into the enchant-
ed forest on that magic night, thus
giving them all an insight into the
life they might have lived. The
second act shows them wandering
in the enchanted wood, giving Bar-
rio dialog at its most whimsical and
beset. A disillusioned artist finds
a daughter in the land of might-
have-been. A charming old dawd-
ler finds that his second choice is
the same as his first, as he con-
tinues to play around and re-pro-
poses to his wife. The butler might
have been honeymooning with the
"lady." The man might have been
married to his sweetheart and lov-
ing wife. The sophistocated young
woman could have been a begger
girl. An infinite variety in mood
and emotion is to be found in this
!one scene in the foggy forest, and
it's all Barrio at his most lovable.
The resolution of this glimpse in-
to the land of might-have-been is
satisfactorily found in the third act,
which brings both a laugh and a
lump in the throat.

Home Ec Girls Enjoy
Cedar Rapids Trip
Fourteen Lisbon Home Ec. girls
spent last Wednesday in Cedar
Rapids. Arriving In the city at
9:30 we went to Hutchinson's tee
cream factory. We saw the milk
and cream mixed and our guide told
us how they make the dfferent fla-
vors of ice cream. We were given
a frost stick. From Hutchinsons
we went to the Peter Pan bakery.
We saw the dough in l'~rge mixing
vats. To me the most Interesting
act was to watch the bread sliced
and wrapped. Each had a dough-
nut. From the bakery the group
went to the Quaker Oats. There
it was very noisy, but interesting.
We saw how they make puffed
wheat and rice. Each was given
a sample. ~vVMT was visited next.
~The gaide showed us how they
make discs and how the different
sound effects arc used on the air.
About two o'clock a picnic dinner
was enjoyed at Ellis park.
Returning to the business district
we went through the Tehel bot-
tling company and saw the wash-
tng and sterilizing- of bottles, and
pasting on of labels. Here each
had a bottle of pop. To conclude
the day's trip some went shopping
and others to a show. W~e all en-
joyed th*~ privilege to go and ap-
preciated the time Miss Nee, our
instructor, spent in taking us. The

community was observed with the
afternoon and evening program,
the decoration of graves in the lo-
cal cemetery and those in the rural
vicinity. At the afternoon service
in the Lisbon cemetery, Roy. L. J,
Enzler gave the address, his sub-
ject, "What Should Decoration Day
Mean to Us?"
"This day is set aside as a nation-
al holiday in order that we might
remember our dead," he said. "We
honor our departed dead not only
in memory st their earthly lives
and decoration of their graves but
also in a union of spirits which
takes the form of prayer. It is par-
ticularly intended to honor our de-
ceased veterans. We sympathize
today with those to whom '.Memor-
ial Day brings a pang of sorrow.
May the honor we give to their de-
parted loved ones help to soften the
blow and replace i[ with a tinge of
prideful joy."
In his concluding remarks he
said a word about the American
Legion. "There is one phrase in
the preamble which belongs to its
members, but the rest belongs to
us. Its ideals are worth while de-
fending, and. if need be, worth
while dying for. Let us today
honor our departed dead, es-
pecially our military dead. Let
us work and pray for peace
and for the defense of free-
dom and justice. Let us be united
in this effort."
HIS'I~RY 013 MONUMENT
The service to the unknown this
year included an interesting resume
of the orlgiu of the monument giv-
en by S. G. Fouse. It was placed
in 1916 and dedicated on Decora-
tion Day of that year. hence this
year was the ~ilver anniversary of
the wonderful boulder. In lieu of
a worthy memorial the idea of a
stone from some battle field was
evolved. Gettysburg was selected,
as that field was rich in boulders
and richer in history. W. F. Stahl
and Charles Dole, with proper cre-
dentials, went to Gettysburg and
interviewed the heads of the U. S.
war department and the Gettysburg
Park Commission with successful
results.
The ~tone was selected, delivered
to the railroad. Two railroads
brought it to Chicago, then deliver-
ed it in Cedar Rapids and the In-
terurban brought it to Lisbon, all
free of cost. Its location on the
battle field was along a principal
thoroughfare known as the Balti-
more Pike and its place in that
great battle stood along side the
right flank of General Meade's
army, known as the army of the
Potomac.
It Is interesting to note that six
comrades who fought on that re-
nowned field sleep here in our
cemetery near the boulder that was
their companion there: viz. Daniel
Stahl, Conrad Bowers, Wm. Bar-
nicle, David Bruch, Josiah Richard
and D. S. Fouse.
Its plao.ing here was really a re-
dedication and reconsecration. The
first and supreme was l~ov. 19, 1863
when the battle field of Gettysburg
was decldated as a National ceme-
tery and park. This blue granite
boulder of the Lisbon cemetery
i was bathed with that dedication
and heard the immortal words
spoken by Lincoln that constitute
his Gettysburg address and that do
ever immortalize him.
A bronze tablet was placed there-
on embl=~zoning the sentence, "This
boulder from the battlefield of Get-
tysburg, is here rededicated and
reconsecrated to the memory of the
soldiers and sailors of the union
of armies of 1861-65." This monu-
ment is one that the community
can well be proud of both because
of its history and rareness. It is
the only boulder from Gettysburg
that stands in any cemetery as a
memorial and by decree of the war
department not any other can be
removed from the historical field.
One other prior was placed in a
museum in Philadelphia.
SUNSET ~I~RVIfYE
The beautiful sunset service at
Sutliff was cut short in service and
attendance due to the threatening
storm. Rev. G. S. Hamilton gave a
short talk on the subject "A Day
of Remembrance." The purpose
of the day is two fold. It is a day
of honoring and giving tribute to
the dead, and exortations for the
living. The lessons we are to learn
through the day of remembrance
equip us for the duties of the fu-
ture.
He used as an illustration an old
Testament story of the war between
the Gideons and Midianites. To-
day we are here to enjoy the free-
dora and liberty as won for us by
those to whom we pay tribute and
honor. He cited an ancient Roman
custom, in the vestibules of their
homes were placed ,busts and sta-
tutes of great ancestors to impress
upon the fuhwe generations the
same noble aspiration which
brought lasting fame to their an-
cestors. We do not follow this eus-
stem, but we have a day of remem-
brance such as we today are ob-
servng to impress upon this gen-
eration and the following, the high
ideals -md deeds of the sacrifice
which brought us the freedow we
now enjoy.
He closed with the statement,
"'Let not neglect nor the ravages
of time testify to this or any other
generation that we as a people have
forgotten the cost of the freedom
of our great republic.
