ARMISTICE DAY HERE LARGE CELEBRATION SHOULD I BE PLANNED BY CITY OFFI- : CIALS— PROGRAM SUGGESTED BELOW t N ovember 11th has been set1 apart i t for the commemoration of the 'declaration of the armistice in the great . world's war. , There is nothing taking place in our dty to make us believe that jwe shall , , in any way recognize that such a day j exists. ' It is just a little singular that no I note is sounded and no exclamation | ! i from any public official to the effect . i that this day above all days should j not pass without some fitting excr- ' , ; cises for its commemoration. Ij We cannot make ourselves believe that even the memory of such a day . ihas passed, out of our existence. . I Can it be possible that our sons and j relatives fell at the front and we so j .[soon have forgotten what it all. | means ? I Do we constantly need reminding | ' that the effects of that great war will j remain with us for many years ? J •> The proposed monument may-hap ; has faded away. The predous blood absorbed in the soil of France, and the bodies of our loved ones perish in ? I the ground wherein they were laid; i but the principle and the idea will j still live. The wounded and maimed are still ( | with us, forcing our attention maybe * ' against our will. | How would a program like this do ? * Let the leading and chief public offi- 1 cial request a celebration about like I the following: j 9:00 A. Ml — All Buglers assemble and j sound Reville at .City Hall. J 9:80* — Sound Assembly at City Hall. 1 10:00 — Parade in order. Back to City j Hall. < 11:00 — All organizations salute the 3 Colors. — | 12:00 Noon — All non-service organiz- j ations salute sen-ice men as they ] pass in review for dismissal. 3 Let's try it. It is worth while J though -it only be for an advertise- j ment. 3 ADDED ATTRACTION ELECTION DAY 2 Much excitement was caused Tues- i day morning when the fire bell sound- i ed the alarm for Broad and Elmira 3 streets.
