“Steps should immediately be taken to further this work. In the first place there is danger that if it is delayed knowledge of certain historic sites and events will be lost. Every month the ranks of our pioneers grow thinner, and in many instances they alone have the required information. Then again, with the Golden Jubilee coming on, a record should be made in this direction that would be worthy of presentation on that semi-centennial year. Much of this work can and should be done by local organizations so that the local community can take just pride In the historical marker. But the efforts of all agencies interested in this work should be coordinated, and it seems to us that this society should take the lead in furthering such a program.”
