A parade began at 9:45 a.m., and marched to South Park, where Memorial Services took place. Guest speaker Capt. Theodore H. Limpert, Alo Pilot, 174th TAC. Ftr. Wg., NY State Air Guard at Hancock Field, told the crowd, \the price of freedom is high.\ Because of the sacrifice ot others, \we have the freedom to make choices unrestrained by Orwell's \Big Brother\ or Gorbachev's KBG,\ he said. Pulaski Mayor Daniel A. Briggs spoke of the honor of those who \paid the ultimate sacrifice\ in the salutation. Following the service, the parade proceeded to the short bridge, where a wreath was thrown into the Salmon River to honor Naval and Marine veterans. The procession then marched to the Pulaski Cemetery. The service was jointly sponsored by Pulaski Memorial Post, 7289 VFW; Robert Edwards Post 358 and AmVets.

Richard Clay. LET US PRAY O Lord, we would think of the red, white, and blue. When we see the red in our Flag, we remember the blodd of our Nation's sons spilled on the shores of Imo Jima, Guetelcaval, the Philippines, and Nor- mandy Beach. For their sacrifices on our behalf, and for your Loving Hand, which welcomed them home in the hour of their deaths, we give you thanks. When we look upon the flowing white stripes of our Banner, streaming in the wind, we recall all those white crosses which stand on such battlefields as Gettysburg, Normandy, Pearl Harbor, and Inchon. The White speaks to us of your mercy, your washing clean these blood - stained patriots, and giving them fresh bodies and spirits in your Kingdom. Finally, when we gaze upon the blue, we think of the oceans where so many of our sons and daughters gave their lives to defend the seas of this world... Manila, the North Sea, the Meditaranean, and now the Persian Gulf. But when we think of the blue, we also are reminded of the treasure for which these young men and women died... The treasure of peace, of Freedom, of Hope for a Better Day, of Human Rights and Integrity, of National Future and Internatiqnal Security. And so, Father, we thank you for the red, white, and blue, and for the many lives it symbolizes, but most of all, for your being a part of your being a part of our colors, for your protection of our young people, even in death, and for your promise of a better world because the Star- Spangled Banner still waves, and proclaims you as our God and our Father and our Protector.

Pulaski Library To Hold Book Sale New books for sale at discount prices - a marvelous opportunity for residents and visitors in a community that has no book store. The Pulaski Library is offering just such a sale this week. Starting Wednesday and continuing for four days, through Saturday, the public will have a chance to choose books for their children, friends, for themselves and even, perhaps, a gift of a book for the Ubrary. These books have been selected from a huge supply at The Book Warehouse in North Syracuse, and com- prise a comprehensive selection from which to choose. The Pulaski Library benefits from each book purchased, and it is hoped that a large number of local residents will take advantage of this rare opportunity of buying books at reduced prices and helping the library at the same time. Library hours are Monday through Friday, 9 to 4; Thursday and Friday evenings, 7 to 9; and Saturday mornings from 9:30 to 12:30.
