tions of various natures including
educational, military, religious. fra
ternal, benevolent. industrial, poll
tical and official. will march through
the streets of the city tomorrow in
the form of ar Armis tice Day par
ade with only the thought in mind
of paving respect TO those who lost
their lives in the late war and re-
joicing in the victorious termination
of the struggle. Concentrated effort
on the part of the large committee
made up from members of these or
ganizations has resulted in the IN
surance of parade which VIII De
the largest, and perhaps the most
elaborate of any that has ever been
held in Perth Amboy.
Before the high school, the lawn
of which will be used as a grand
stand, will be seated the gold star
mothers of the city, the city officials
and a few other guests and 1t VIII
be here, at the termination of the
parade that the awards in the school
essay contests will be given out.
Practically every organization that
has expressed the intention of en-
tering- the. parade is also going to
enter a float and this feature will
also be particularly attractive. The
contribution of the public and paro-
chial schools in this matter has been
of great merit under the supervision
of Miss Rose Mccormick and Miss
Edith Crowell. Beginning at the
Presbyterian church the school
floats and representations will ex-
tend down High street to Lewis in
the following formation:

The feature of the day and with
out doubt the most significant. VIII
be the pause for two minutes of all
activities, and the halt of the march
as a silent tribute 70 those who have
made the supreme sacrifice. Con-
forming with the proclamation sent
out by President Harding, Mayor
Wilson has asked the city, also in the
form of a proclamation. 10 observe
the two minutes before noon tomor-
row for this purpose.
Inoculated with the contagious
spirit of the day, al! the stores OF
the city will be closed. The indus
tries have expressed the intention
of observing a full day holiday and
a request fas been made that all
business houses and private resi-
dences be decorated appropriately.
Already the national colors in var
ious forms of flags and draperies are
appearing on the main thorough
