ARM|ST|CE DAY
NOVEMBER Il TIL
(From the War Camp Community
Service.)


the patriotic desirability of observ-
ance, on Nov. II, of the anniversary
of the signing of the armistice is the
object of countrywide campaign
just started by War Camp Community
Service. Suggestions for programs to
he followed by communities in OBJ
serving Armistice Day have been sent
cut from National Headquarters Of
War Camp Community Service in New
York. These suggestions will be
passed on by its field workers to
groups Of citizens formed to arrange
for community celebrations.
Parades, pageants, concerts, dances,
athletics and civic and neighborhood
dinners are among the community
celebration features suggested by
War Camp Community Service. It
gives prominent part to returned
service men and to new citizens Of
the United States, both those becom-
ing Americans by naturalization, and
those of native birth coming of age
this year.
1t is suggested, in connection with
Armistice Day parades, that veterans
Of the Civil and Spanish-Americar
wars be invited to appear with the
men who served against Germany. 1t
is suggested, also, that mothers Of
service men; Red Cross, War Camp
Community Service, and other war
workers; representatives Of munich
pal departments; civic and church or
CARNATIONS; industrial groups, and
foreign born Americans, in the cos
tunes of their native lands, be invit-
ed to parade.
Demobilization of service flags and
the dedication of municipal flags also
are suggested, as are special citizen
ship ceremonies. Musical programs
together with symbolic pageantry
could be features of these functions
the War Camp heads point out.
|
Community pageants are advocated
There may be written and staged un-
der local auspices or could be based
on "The New Era, termed Pageant
Of Patriotism and Reconstruction,
which was written by the Outdoor
Players of Peterboro, New Hamp.
shire, for War Camp and which is
available for distribution. The pa
geant Is arranged for indoor produc-
ton.
Local League of Neighbors dinners
given In honor of the Service men
also are suggested. These functions
could be strictly neighborhood af-
fairs, it is shown or could be con-
Quoted under municipal auspices.
In the suggestions for musical fea-
ture Of the observance of Armistice
Day, community singing comes in for
special attention. In this connection
singing Of the folk songs of the ma
tons allied with the United States In
the war is urged.
Better baby contests, street dane.
ing, block parties, club social func'
tions and public dances are amons
other forms of observance suggested
for Armistice Day programs. So ar;
miniature county fairs, industrial
and commercial exhibits, special mo
ton picture and dramatic perform
ances and municipal bonflres, a
which members of communities coul,

AMBER MINES.

~, Amber, says writer in the September
wild World Magazine, is known as ''the
gold OF the North" owing to it's rarity
ana necessarily great value. 1t is one of
nose substances which. like gold and
platinum and precious stones, are envel-
oped IN romance. Men dig for the fasci-
hatlng fossilized resin of prehistoric pine
.rees-that resin which has taken mil
mons OF years to convert into it's present
state-wlth all the eagerness and greed
OF those who search for diamonds. The
WORLDS supply of amber is obtained from
mines on the coast of Samland, in the
Eastern Prussian peninsula, between the
Towns OF Burstrort and Palmnicken.

pine forests which the sea, through some

trees into precious "electron" of the an
