A HISTORY OF DEDHAM
nery in the kitchen of the Oakdale School. The work was under the direction of two supervisors, assisted by thirty-eight Dedham girls who worked all summer most earnestly and willingly for this patriotic cause. The cannery served two hundred and twelve families and put up five thousand two hundred and thirty-six jars of food. Two thrift stamps a week were given the workers for neatness and general efficiency, with three prizes awarded at the end of the year. Canning was also carried on in the Ames School and in all Public Schools of Dedham. At the close of the war the Dedham Suburban Relief Workers gave an American Flag, a Navy Flag, and a Post Flag to the newly founded Dedham Post of the American Legion. It should be remembered that the Dedham Post has the distinction of having had Major-General Edwards as a member. During the years 1917-1918 the Dedham Relief Workers made 6,732 articles and raised $5,241.98 in carry- ing on their war work.
LIBERTY LOANS. The residents of Dedham entered with enthusiasm into the work of raising money for the prosecution of the war. In the first Liberty Loan drive a window card, seven by fourteen inches, bearing a reproduction of the Honor Flag and a target at the bottom, was given to each subscriber to a bond. As other bonds were subscribed for in the same house the pur- chaser was entitled to a red disk to be attached to the window card. With each bond purchased in a house a new disk was at- tached to the target and when all residents in the house had sub- scribed, the head of the house was entitled to a large disk which read: "We are one hundred percent subscribers."
The Second Liberty Loan was ushered in on "Liberty Sun- day," October 21, 1917, the day set apart by the Liberty Loan Council of New England. All persons were urged to attend the morning services in their various places of worship and to join in singing the "Star Spangled Banner" at exactly 11 o'clock. In this drive, as in all other drives, the town had the cooperation of the Dedham National Bank and the Dedham Institution for Sav- ings in handling subscriptions. Dedham heartily responded, as did the Nation, and the amount subscribed was far in excess of the demands of the Government.
The Third Liberty Loan campaign was inaugurated on April €, 1918, the first anniversary of the entrance of the country into
505
WORLD WAR
the World War. A "Liberty Day" parade was held in Boston in which Dedham participated. The town's quota in this loan was $527,500 and she went over the top with a subscription of $700,000. The success of this drive was announced on the evening of May 4 by blowing of the fire, locomotive and factory whistles for several minutes. An enthusiastic meeting was held in Memo- rial Hall and an "Honor Flag" was raised and floated just below "Old Glory" which waved in the breeze during the entire period of the war.
The Fourth Liberty Loan, sometimes called the "Fighting Fourth" because our army in France was beginning to win and showed to a marked degree its true fighting spirit. This loan was put on sale September 28 and closed in three weeks. Dedham's quota was $1,155,000; the sum of $1,313,650 was subscribed by approximately 2,500 citizens. In this drive the Dedham Women's Council of War Defense worked in fullest accord with che men and their efforts added much in the success attained.
VICTORY LOAN. The fifth and last loan, called the Victory Loan, commenced on April 21, 1919. Dedham's quota was $866,- 200. The interest of citizens was not abated and the town went easily over the top. Mention should be made of the Boy Scouts (ever ready to give their services in every good cause), who did yeomen's work in booming the several Liberty Loans, also in the Food Administration work.
MILITARY DAY. Dedham observed Saturday, June 22, 1918, as "Military Day." A parade started from the historic Common at 2:45 and when it reached Stone Park several thousand persons had assembled; including Company F, 13th Regiment, State Guard; most of the organizations of the town; public school children; a goodly number of soldiers and sailors; prominent citizens and the Selectmen of the town. All along the line from start to finish thousands of men, women and children watched the parade as it moved to Stone Park. At the Park soldiers from Camp Devens gave a drill, showing they were letter-perfect in the tactics. A flag raising followed and as "Old Glory" was pulled to the top of the mast the band played Guardes du Corps March. Addresses were given by Senator John W. Weeks and Congress- man Richard Olney. A baseball game followed with a band con- cert which was greatly appreciated. After the ball game the sol-
506
A HISTORY OF DEDHAM
diers and sailors re-formed and headed by the band marched to Memorial Square, where a service flag was raised which was allowed to droop and float about the heads of the thousands gathered in the square. A banquet followed in Memorial Hall and the day closed with a band concert on the Common in the evening.
WAR POSTERS. The very appropriate and beautifully col- ored posters issued by the Government were displayed throughout the town in the several Liberty Loan and Red Cross drives. Store windows, trees and fences in prominent places were utilized. Some of the posters are recalled as follows: "Over the Top for You," "For Home and Country," "And They Thought We Couldn't Fight," "Sure We'll Finish the Job," "Fight or Buy Bonds," "Buy Securities of America," "Have You a Red Cross Flag ?" "The Greatest Mother in the World," "Have You Answered the Red Cross Roll Call?"
WAR LIBRARIES. The American Library Association, at the request of the War Department, in the fall of 1917, took up the work of furnishing libraries for the Navy and Army Camps of all descriptions. Dedham was asked to contribute five hundred dollars. The trustees of the Public Library were requested to serve as a local Library War Council to stimulate and direct the work, the emphasis being given to the collection of money rather than books at this particular time. The week beginning Septem- ber 24 was set apart for the task. Dedham's assessment was raised largely through the efforts of the Boy Scouts, a Grange Fair, and a tag day conducted by High School girls. By this united effort six hundred dollars was collected exceeding the town's quota.
ARMISTICE DAY. The day when the German Army un- conditionally surrendered was the greatest day for civilization in the history of the world. The hostilities ended on the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918. The announcement was made to slumbering Dedham, just before four o'clock, by the horn on the police automobile in Memorial Square; at four fifteen by the ringing of the bell of the First Church; and at six o'clock by a cornet salute from the belfry of the Allin Congregational Church. The cornet sent forth in succession the stirring notes of "The Star Spangled Banner," "Yankee Doodle," and "America." The chimes of St. Paul's Church were played by Arthur W. Thayer. The
507

program included the Doxology, "Hail Columbia," "America the Beautiful," "Home Sweet Home," and other familiar airs. It was the greatest day of rejoicing and wild hilarity that the town had ever seen. Many residents hastened to Boston, where all business was suspended, and the streets thronged with crowds of happy people.
In the afternoon appropriate exercises were held in the First Church in Dedham conducted by the Rev. William H. Parker, with an eloquent address by the Reverend Francis Lee Whittemore of St. Paul's Church. In the evening there was a parade headed by the Norwood Band of twenty-five pieces, in which many citizens with decorated automobiles, the public school children, and many organizations took part. The line of march was through the principal streets to Stone Park. Here two huge bonfires were lighted and much red fire burned. With short patriotic speeches, and uncovered heads, all joined in singing "The Star Spangled Banner." More than five thousand persons were present and cheered lustily when the Kaiser's effigy was burned. Many residents of the town gathered in Memorial Hall, in the early afternoon of November 12, to witness a peace parade by Italian residents who marched through the principal streets of Dedham. It was such a parade as only the Italians can put on. The patriotic attitude of the Italian residents of Dedham was very marked during the war. There was no question where they stood on all patriotic measures. Long before the Public Service Committee sent out its clarion call for "Home Gardens" the Italians of Ded- ham had planted a hundred such gardens. They had a War Fund Day in Stone Park, a real field day, which was largely attended and greatly enjoyed. On July 4, 1918, they had a Red Cross Drive with a fine parade and a public meeting in Memorial Hall which was a great success.
MEMORIAL BOULDER. The Women's Club of Pine Heights erected in 1921 a memorial boulder on the grounds of the River- dale School dedicated to the Pine Heights boys who made the supreme sacrifice in the World War. The boulder was dedicated on Sunday afternoon, December 8, 1921, the exercises being con- ducted by the American Legion. The Rev. Mr. Wheelock of Needham made the dedicatory address. The tablet was unveiled by the Misses Grace and Margaret Brown, assisted by Thomas

Armstrong and William Lynch, representing the Army and the Navy. The Tablet reads as follows:
In Memory of The Pine Heights Boys Who Died in the Defense of Their Country Robert R. Bayard, Charles H. Clough, Stanley H. Luke "To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die."
Mrs. Victor Heaman, President of the Pine Heights Club, presented the Boulder to the town, which was accepted by William E. Browne, chairman of the Board of Selectmen.
During the World War the churches of the town displayed service flags bearing a star for each member in the service. The flag of St. Mary's Church is especially recalled. It had a red border and on the field of blue, a white star was placed for every boy from St. Mary's Church who was in the war. This flag was the work of many devoted and patriotic women of the parish and was made by willing hands.
WORLD WAR MEMORIAL. A committee consisting of John W. Withington, Ralph Lowell, William F. Clark, H. Wendell Endicott, Francis W. Fay, Mary M. Hansen and Frank W. Kimball were appointed in 1924 to consider an appropriate war memorial for the town of Dedham.
After much investigation the Committee concluded that a park is a natural and imperishable monument. It is a living thing, ever growing more beautiful and useful. It forms the finest setting for special monumental memorials. Its size gives it added nobility and impressiveness. It ministers to the well-being of those for whom our heroes gave their lives, both now and through the future.
It embodies the neighborhood idea of a common meeting place, where all may gather and enjoy civic recreational activities. Like Memorial Hall it will be related to our daily lives, yet free from elements of disrepair, decay or changing fashions.
The Committee recommended as a site the unattractive and waste piece of marsh land, now owned by the town and consisting of about twenty three acres between Eastern Avenue and East Street. It was the plan of the Committee to turn this into a park and beauty spot that would live forever and grow more beautiful

each succeeding year-a "Garden of Remembrance." The esti- mated cost of the memorial was $114,500.
The recommendation of the Committee was submitted to the voters of the town on May 25, 1926 and was rejected by a vote of 1981 to 584. Later a committee was appointed by the town to erect a World War memorial. After due deliberation the Com- mittee erected the memorial at the corner of Whiting Avenue and Avery Street, which was dedicated with appropriate exercises, in the presence of a large concourse of people, on Sunday after- noon May 17, 1931.
From 2 o'clock to 2:30 selections were played by the Wey- mouth Post Band of the American Legion. An invocation was offered by the Reverend Francis Lee Whittemore. Daniel R. Beckford, Jr., chairman of the World War Memorial Committee presided.
The High School Glee Club sang "America the Beautiful."
The design of the memorial is composed of the figure of a woman holding a sprig of a palm branch in her right hand, the left hand raised proclaiming "Peace Victorious." E. Howard Walker was the architect and Frederick W. Allen the sculptor of the memorial, of which the following were the Committee: Daniel R. Beckford, Jr., John J. Shea, Julius H. Tuttle, Charles E. Mills, Robert H. Luke and James F. McGowan.
The service of dedication was conducted by members of the Dedham Post No. 18, American Legion and the U.S.S. Jacob Jones Post No. 2017, Veterans of Foreign Wars.
Commander Albert Werner of the American Legion unveiled the monument and Robert Luke presented it; while Commander John F. Dervan of the Veterans of Foreign Wars placed a wreath of laurel leaves at its foot.
Honorable Francis J. Good, past department commander of the American Legion, made the address. "This memorial of stone," he said, "is placed here in the public square as a reminder of the patriotism, devotion and service of these brave men. It is im- pressive and will serve to make us better Americans, better men, better women. It will serve as a lesson to the children of today who will become the adult Americans of tomorrow. It will serve as a constant reminder that there have been men since the early days up to this very moment who have been willing to give their

life blood to the end that liberty may be enjoyed by all Americans.
"Our forefathers, who loved liberty banded together and gave their blood for the preservation of this great union. It is our duty to so live our national lives that we shall make certain the continuance of the enjoyment of this same liberty and justice."
The presentation of the monument was made by Daniel R. Beckford, Jr., and accepted in behalf of the town of Dedham by Selectman Anson H. Smith, past commander of Dedham Post 18, A.L. Taps were sounded and a volley fired. The exercises closed with the singing of "America" and the benediction by the Reverend Father, George P. O'Conor, of the U.S.S. Jacob Jones Post No. 2017, Veterans of Foreign Wars.
