Dedication of the new flag pole at Maple Lawn Cemetery will be this Sunday at 2 p.m.

The ceremony will begin with the Pledge of Allegiance led by Bob Kinzer, representing veterans.

The singing of the "Star Spangled Banner" will be led by Gerald Clingenpeel, president of the Cemetery Board, and Al Grumbling of the Flora Lions Club, which initiated the project. Grumbling also will give the invocation.

Clingenpeel will welcome guests, and remarks also will be given by Jerry L. Reinke, a member of the Cemetery Board.

Tom Kressley of the Lions Club will deliver a short dedication speech.

The singing of "Grand Old Flag," will be led by Clingenpeel and Grumbling, and Grumbling will give the benediction.

The first flag to be flown on the new pole will be one that has flown over the nation's Capitol.

Reinke, who has chaired the fundraising for the project, said the whole community came together to accomplish this goal.
