WHEREAS, his policy of encouraging goodwill and harmony among those engaged in the great enterprises and industries of our country should be perpetuated, and
WHEREAS, in the death of President Warren G. Harding the people of this country have sustained a great loss and a burden has been placed upon their shoulders which it is difficult for them to bear. Therefore be it
RESOLVED, that a copy of these resolutions be sent to Mrs. Warren Gamaliel Harding as an expression of the deep sympathy which the citizens of Swampscott feel for her in this hour of be- reavement, and that a copy of these resolutions be spread on the records of the Town.
HENRY S. BALDWIN, JULIUS A. ULMAN, FRANK E. MORRISON, Selectmen. GEORGE J. PLACE, Legion Commander. REV. G. EDWARD ALLAN.
REV. ROBERT CAMPBELL, Jr.,
REV. GEORGE A. REARDON, REV. EDWARD TILLOTSON,
REV. JOHN VANNEVAR, D. D. REV. L. G. VANLEEUWEN.
The Board issued a request that all business and social activities should cease on August 10, the day of the funeral Never in the his- tory of the town has a request been more strictly observed. There was absolute quiet throughout the length and breadth of Swampscott, and the people of the town united with the whole country in showing their deep sorrow at the loss of our President.
The military and civic parade, as carried out by the Leon E. Abbott Post, American Legion, was most impressive, and the services at the Abbott playground, on State Road, will long be remembered by the many citizens who were present.
