Of course I'll do it. Thus did Charles Chambers, 88, and last survivor of Lewis Gates Post, GAR, last week set aside any theories that younger hands should place Memorial Day flags and flowers on veterans' graves in North Bloomfield.

For the last decade, this part of the annual preparations for Memorial Day services has been the task of Veteran Chambers, still hale and hearty despite his age. But he doesn't confine his activities alone to memories of comrades in arms, but travels Western New York without asking assistance of anyone.

As the sole survivor in the Honeoye Falls district of that great conflict, Mr. Chambers, who for seven years as commander of Lewis Gates Post, will lead the Memorial Day parade Saturday morning. The marchers will organize in the center of the village, march to Harry Allen Park at 8 AM, where a new flag will be presented to the village by Commander Charles Gustin of Falls Post, American Legion, and then proceed to Honeoye Falls Cemetery where the services will be in charge of Charles Kennedy as marshal. The Rev. John F. Buyer will be principal speaker.

Included in the parade will be the Honeoye Falls Military Band, Falls Post and Auxilliary, Women's Relief Corps, Boy Scout troops and school children.
