In ed than 1868, General Logan suggest-- 1 that the veterans of 5,000 people walked through the battlefield cemetery strewing flowers on graves. Garrisons at 1861-6- 5 . . . strew with flowers or otherwise decorate the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion.

Harold Bowman, executive secretary of the USMA, said "the great number of drownings, thirty-eigin Utah in 1958, has been the subject of discussion at several county medical society meetings, and has caused great concern bute to the soldiers who fell on both sides and was named Memorial Day. Today, the day is a tribute to American dead of all wars, in whatever lands they fell. The traditions of General Logans day have survived and boatloads of flowers are still launched on the Delaware. Gettysburg has remained a site of tribute to war dead and the order instituted by General Logan calling for floral decorations is still observed. Six American presidents have taken the occasion to further solemnize the Gettysburg cemetery with Memorial Day addresses. In addition to the military decoration, wreaths and bouquets are placed on Gettysburg graves by descendants of those who fell in the Civil War and many more floral tributes are wired from distant cities. In recent years, similar' tributes have been sent in increas among our physicians.

However, the report of deaths by drowning is frequently glossed over and little action is taken to provide safeguards or properly caution the public. Lack of proper supervision of children by parents has been mentioned as a contributing factor of the heavy irrigation ditch toll. The USMA official pointed out deaths by drowning are few at swimming places which are properly supervised and patrolled, but runs higher where people swim or boat without supervision without realization of the danger involved. "It is not the purpose of the medical society to draw up rules or to suggest safeguards. TTiis has already been done by such organizations as the American Red Cross, the Utah Safety Council and the Boy Scouts.
