Service Men's Center To Re-Open
April 28
At a meeting of the Graham
Canteen group held alt the Ser
vice Men's Center last Wednesday
morning at 10:00 o'clock, with
the chairman, Mrs. E. L Nott,
presiding, it was decided to re
open the Center on April 28.Hie
Center, which has been closed
since February 3, because there
were so few service men in nearby
camps to visit it over the week
ends, is sponsored by the Can
teen Group, though ably supports
ed by all civic organizations of
the community.
There had been discussion of
discontinuing the Center alto
gether, but before doing so, Miss
Mary Cooper, who is active man
ager, wrote to commanding offi
cer of special services branch at
Camp Butner to ask if there was
a possibility that the Center
might mean anything to the
convalescing soldiers there. In
reply, she was informed that "it
would indeed mean a lot to our
boys in the Convalescing Hospi
tal to have a place to come over
the week-ends As our hospital
grows there will be an increasing
number of ?ier in me towns
around Camp Butner on week
ends. The facilities of clubs and'
churches in curse towns will be
utilized and appreciated by these
nverseas veterans."
Linwood Cemetery Improved
Since buying the remaining
tract of the Linwood cemetery as
i>n addition to the century old
burial place that had grown in
size greatly from the time that it
was established, the town of Gra
ham has carried out a very suc
cessful project, in removing over
growth from the new part and
reconditioning the plots.
The change in the large area
that had been covered with shrub
and briar growth, filling in many
sunken graves, and recondition
ing roads leading into the ceme
tery, has made noticeable im
provement.
Small stone crosses will also be
erected to all graves not properly
marked, to a large number of
negro graves in the colored' sec
tion and at graves that were
never marked.
Also included in the cemetery
project will be ihe cleaning of
each monument that is turned
from its orig-nal color. Each
marker is to be straightened and
lined in its proper row. The pro
perty is to be extended to an
intersection w;th the highw ay on
the back side, with all small tree.< i
and shrubs being cut away.
An improvement is also plan
ned in the road facilities into the
separate parts of Linwood. "Out
side of a town's roads, the ceme
tery is a most important place to
be kept in gocd shape."
As soon as possible the street
department will undertake t<>
clean and recondition Providence
Memorial cemetery, one of the
oldest in Alamance county, al
through it does not belong to the
town.
