(From Page 18) Matthew Sellers. The three awards given on the big day are: student who has shown Most Improvement ; Highest Scholastic Average, and a special award made by the American Legion to the Allaround Outstanding Student, The Best Bloomin' Yard Sale you've ever attended will be taking place at the Stephen C. Ludlam Post 331 of the American Legion, 117th Street and Second Avenue, on Saturday June 16, from 9 until 1. It'll be a benefit affair for the Garden Club of Stone Harbor and members of that organization have been combing their homes from cellar to attic, for the last six months, to come up with no longer necessary gems which may well be just what you're looking for, There won't be any clothes but all sorts of household items are available ranging from garden and carpentry tools to antique glass collectibles. The collectibles won't all be glass, either There will be cooking utensils of an earlier era, framed pictures etc. In short, something for everyone Don't miss out! * * * WE HAVE SPENT some 35-plus Memorial Day weekends on this island, have never struck worse weather or seen larger crowds. Despite the fancy footwork required to stroll 96th Street the shops located on both sides of the street were jammed all day Locale of the annual parade was changed. It didn'Ustart at the foot of 96th Street Bridge Instead it formed on Second Avenue at 96th Street, mar ched north on Second Avenue to 96th, then turned right to the beach, where Memorial Day Services were conducted from the sheltered entrance to the Women's Civic Club Membership of Stephen

I C Ludlam Post 331 of the ' American Legion compris- ' ed residents of two com j muni ties, Avalon and Stone Harbor, therefore, Mayor Rachel Sloan and Councilman Dick Light were among the dignitaries from Avalon waiting to witness the parade along with Mayor Arden Hand and most of the Stone Harbor's Borough Council. We saw Councilman Lou CleUand, Harry Strahmetz, Jack Fitzpatrick and Kenny Hawk. Also present, of course, was Councilman Eric Arenberg, who serves on the rifle Squad to fire the three-round salute at the conclusion of the ceremonies One-half hour before the parade started somebody unzipped a cloud but the weatherman gave the participants a one-hour break and the event proceeded under appropriately gloomy clouds but without precipitation. We are delighted to see that a wave of nationalism is, once again, weeping the country. Onlookers waved flags, shouted enthusiastic comments and sang patriotic songs with fervor. There were several misty-eyed spectators and the whole scene was vaguely reminiscent of Norman Rockwell's Saturday Evening Post ■ covers of a small town in a ' bygone era i FIRST CAME the life boat drawn by the beach ' Patrol full of wreaths of 1 poppy arrangements made i by the Women's Auxilary - and purchased by various 1 philanthropic organiza*tions and individuals to fur1 ther the aims of the post, t Next came the Post of f ficers and legionnaires led 1 by Post Commander 1 Robert Wilson, the Color Guard, Firing Squad, 1 Women's Auxiliair, Middle 1 Township Marching Band, t Burdette Tomlin Auxiliary, b Yacht Club of Stone Har-* e bor, S.H Rescue Squad, e Volunteer Fire Dept., Garden Club of S.H. look n ing smashing with their

Cub Scout Troop 70 i marching smartly in cadence After the Invocation by Pastor Glena of Our Saviour Lutheran Church (who also delivered the benediction). Commander Wilson welcomed the participants, introduced the luminaries, and Chamber of Commerce President Jim Fisher, who congratulated the organizers

of the event and wished all residents and visitors the happiest, healthiest summer yet The only adverse comment we heard all day was that the public address system was malfunctioning and spectators missed many of the remarks which were given to the barest minimum time-wise Following a beautiful rendition of three selections by the chorus, floral wreaths were carried to the beach, placed in the lifeboat by the donors and rowed out to sea by the Beach Patrol to the accompaniment of Taps and its echo and the firing of three rounds by the rifle squad If you missed this tribute to those who died to maintain our love of freedom we're sorry for you. You also missed one of America's finest hours to show our gratitude
