Old Glory Unfurled at Cambridge Sanatorium
The Cambridge Sanatorium on Concord Ave. raised the flag for the first time after two delays caused by a thunder shower. Health Ed. Member John J Henderson led the ceremony with the Cambridge Firemen's Band. Rev Fr Edw S Sullivan blessed the event. Councillor Edw A Crane lauded the symbolism and noted local improvements since a 4 year visit. The city did not fund the flag or pole, but patriotic groups contributed. The daylong program opened as a daycamp in 1907 and expanded to 125 capacity by 1940.ի
