WELCOME HOME
To the Honorable Mayor and Municipal Council of the City of Attleboro :- Gentlemen:
We submit herewith the data covering the program and financial details of the Welcome Home Celebration, October 4th, 5th, and 6th, 1919.
Despite inclement weather, the affair was considered a distinct success by the participants, all the events being carried on a high plane commen- surate with the dignity and importance of the occasion, and worthy we trust, in some measure at least, of the patriotic zeal that characterized the sons and daughters of Attleboro serving in the great war.
Your Executive Committee is deeply appreciative of the fine spirit of co-operation shown by the service men, patriotic and fraternal organiza- tions, and is greatly indebted to the various sub-committees for efficient discharge of the particular duties assigned to them.
Very truly yours,
HAROLD E. SWEET, Chairman. CLELLAND J. McCLATCHEY, Secretary. THOMAS G. SADLER, Treasurer. GEORGE H. SYKES. THOMAS E. McCAFFREY. ERNEST D. GILMORE. JOSEPH E. GAYNOR. OSCAR WOLFENDEN. EDWARD A. SWEENEY. WALTER I. TUTTLE.

ANNUAL REPORT
SUMMARY OF EVENTS OF WELCOME HOME CELEBRATION.
Attleboro's three-day welcome home to those who served in the World War opened with the blowing of factory whistles, fire alarm and ringing of bells at noon Saturday, October 4th. The principal event of the after- noon was the final baseball game of the series of five between Attleboro and North Attleboro, each having won two games previously and interest aroused to fever heat by controversies characteristic of these intertown series and the fact that the respective managements had announced that their line- ups would include many major league stars. Brady Field held the largest crowd in its history, estimated at over 8,000. The roster of players read, as promised, like a list of World Series' participants with Mays of the New York Americans, and O'Neil of the Cleveland Americans battery for Attle- boro, and Shawkey of the New York Americans and Schang of the Boston Americans serving in like capacity for North Attleboro. Other players in the North line-up were McInnis, Ruth, and Gilhooly of the Red Sox, Gardner of Cleveland, Foster and Rice of Washington. With Attleboro were Pipp and Lewis of the New York Americans, Zimmerman of the New York Giants, Bancroft and Pierce of the Philadelphia Nationals and Shorten of the Detroits. The game was featured by all the thrills that can be furnished only by this great American sport, and was decided in the eighth inning when, with the score a tie, three to three, with two out and two men on bases. Roth of the Boston Americans, pinch hitting for Shawkey, raised a ball far over the center field fence, scoring Gardner and McInnis ahead of him, breaking the tie and winning the 1919 championship for North At- tleboro six to three.
The Saturday evening features were a band concert and fireworks on the speedway, with a large attendance despite the discouraging drizzle of rain. The fireworks in variety,-and, according to the testimony of small boys,-in amount of noise were the finest display ever shown in the city and included many special features appropriate for the occasion and com- memorative of those in service from Attleboro, with an especially attrac- tive set piece in memory of the thirty-six who gave their lives.
The occasion was appropriately recognized at the various churches on Sunday, October 5th, and in the afternoon at Capron Park was dedi- cated a most beautiful memorial avenue with a tree planted for each of those who died in service. At the same time was also dedicated a tablet in mem- ory of Ruth Holden and Alice Illingworth Haskell, two nurses who also died in service during the war,-the former in Russia where she was engaged in nursing Russian refugees and the latter in this city during the epidemic of influenza. At the entrance to the memorial avenue are two tablets containing the names of those who died in service. Each is headed, "In Honor of Our Fallen in the Great War." At the base of one the reading is "I have Fought a Good Fight, I Have Finished My Course, I Have Kept the Faith." The other reads: "Who Would Not Die In Battle? Life Cut Short? Nay Blossomed in a Moment; Rich with Fruit, Blossom and Fruit Together." The nurses' memorial, tablet shows an angel recording the names of Ruth Holden and Alice Illingworth Haskell on a book. The tablet of the nursing fund reads: "Ruth Holden-Alice Illingworth Haskell Memorial Nursing Fund. Created in 1919 by the men, women and chil- dren of Attleboro in memory of Ruth Holden, born Nov. 1890, who died April 21, 1917, while nursing war refugees in Russia; and of Alice Illingworth- Haskell, born Oct. 11, 1892, who gave her life in the influenza epidemic Oct. 16, 1918. By their sacrifice they being dead yet speaketh." The pro- gram as carried out was extensive, well arranged and impressive, Joseph Finberg, Chairman of the Committee on Dedication presiding, Rev. C. H. Pennoyer and John W. Cody explained the purpose and plan of Memorial Avenue. A tree was planted by John E. Anderson and Solon D. Bushee, members of the Park Commission, and the dedicatory address and presen- tation of the avenue to the city was by Dr. Charles A. Mooers, Chairman

of Park Commissioners. The nurses memorial tablet was then dedicated with an address by Mrs. P. J. Cummings and unveiled by two nurses,-Miss Lillian Mckinnon and Mrs. Ruth E. Worrall. Mayor Brady on behalf of the city accepted the memorials. Addresses followed by Rev. Fr. Ozias Boucher, chaplain of the 101st Regiment, and Judge Frank E. Fitzsimmons, collector of the port of Providence, and Rev. Richard H. Mclaughlin, United States Navy Chaplain. Mrs. Ella Pease Rogers read "Welcome Home" effectively and community singing was lead by John Laing Gibb.
Monday with lowering skies and frequent rains boded ill for the parade, but how Attleboro carried it through with usual energy and enthusiasm is demonstrated by the following brief quotation from the local press, which was supplemented with details of the parade features and incidents. "The spirit of Attleboro, demonstrated several times during the World War was again exemplified yesterday when in spite of the threatening clouds, and the occasional rain, the entire city turned out to make the parade of the welcome home celebration, the greatest event of the three-day occasion.
Practically every lodge and order, every military body and a number of clubs, factory help and societies were in line, and not one complained of the rain. They were paying tribute to one of the finest lots of men a city could boast of and they willingly defied mud, rain and disagreeable condi- tions of all kinds to pay homage to the returned heroes, and honor the names of the dead."
Over 5,000 persons were in line including a splendid turn-out of service men, nearly 2,000 school children and bands galore, requiring 40 minutes to pass a given point. Major General Edwards marched on foot over a por- tion of the route and reviewed the parade from a stand in front of the Park Hotel, with many complimentary references to the spirit of the participants, and the many features that called for applause all along the line. Follow- ing the parade nearly 1,000 people the majority of whom were service men, gathered for the banquet in the Armory. The guest table ran the entire length of the drill shed and there was a large representation of national, state, county and municipal governments of this state as well as a number from Rhode Island. Rev. Charles H. Pennoyer invoked the divine bless- ing. Specially designed medals, the city's tribute to those in service, were presented to the men and women who were present. On the stage were seated parents of those who lost their lives in the service and to these were presented gold medals in memory of the departed men and women. At the end of the hall was Heywood's Band and a concert was provided during the banquet.
Mayor Philip E. Brady was introduced by Harold E. Sweet, Chair- man of the Executive Committee, as the presiding officer and to voice the city's official welcome to those in service. Commenting on their splendid service, Mayor Brady said in part,-"The City of Attleboro, her heart filled with pride at the accomplishments and achievements of her brave and loyal sons and daughters, today puts her arms about them and gives them this welcome home. Well may the city be proud, for never a finer lot of soldiers went forth to fight for their country and never under better officers than those under which they went forth to fight. Other nations are sending their higher representatives to this country and will continue to send them to thank the soldiers of the United States for their work in the cause of humanity. It is due to these men and women that man kind has been placed squarer on its feet than it has ever been before."
The Treasurer and Receiver General of the Commonwealth, Hon. Charles L. Burrill, spoke for the State, followed by Colonel Edward L. Logan, com- manding the 101st Regiment during the war, and Major General Edwards, introduced as "the best loved general in the A. E. F." Both commanders were received enthusiastically and had much to say of inspiration and inti- mate interest, as so many of those present had seen service under them.

ANNUAL REPORT
Owing to the storm the athletic events scheduled for Capron Park were postponed for two weeks, being held on Saturday, Oct. 18th. The list of winners of the various events is appended to this report.
The three-day program came to a close with a military ball at the State Armory on Monday evening where there was the largest attendance in the history of the Armory, over 2,000 enjoying the affair. From 8:00 to 9:30 there was a concert by Milo Burke's Band. Between the concert numbers there were vocal selections by Mme. Schleicher of Providence, an exhibition of toe dancing by Miss Louise Meus of Mansfield, and dancing by Miss Frances Clarke of this city. The concert concluded by singing the "Star Spangled Banner" by the entire assemblage, Mme. Schleicher, in an appro- priate costume, singing the solo part. There was dancing from ten o'clock until one, the majority of men being in uniform, and the armory never pre- sented a more attractive scene. The decorations were elaborate and fully in keeping with the patriotic and welcoming spirit of the occasion.
