ARMISTICE DAY

Have we forgotten the thrill we ex-
perienced just four short years ago
when finally the flash of authentic
news arrived, telling that the war was
over? 1t was day of rejoicing, that
day when a war-torn world started in
to live peacefully again.
We ought to renew that thrill next
Saturday. We ought to feel the pride
that was ours then. the pride in Amer
ican participation in the great strife, a
participation that resulted in that day
of peace. We ought to shake off our
apathy Saturday and join wholeheart-
edly with the Hood River Legion in
the entertainment of legionnaires and
citizens from all the mid-Columbia.
1t will not be necessary for US to get
out, in order that there be crowd.
Enough outsiders are going to be here
to swell the tide of humanity on our
streetssto record proportions. But the
crowd that day should be predomin-
antly Hood River, Hood River as host
city. We should be out in fullInum-
bers to aid our guests in enjoying
themselves. By our courtesies let us
make our visitors return home singing
the praises of Hood River hospitality.

THE ELECTION

Ordinarily we say, well, the cleo
tion is over; let's forget the issues anc
all pull together toward the future.
1t is with regret that Oregon cannot
face the future thus hopefully today
But Oregon voters have adopted 8
measure, which leading attorneys have
declared unconstitutional. We refer
to the so-called compulsory school bill.
This measure will in all likelihood be
in litigation for three or four years.
The campaign just past has left sore
spot with many Oregonians. The liti-
cation over it will keep raw these sore
spots, and we will behold the state
torn by religious suspicious. Indeed,
we are right now in an unenviable pos
ition in Oregon. Many very sincere
votes were cast for the school bill.
But it is our belief that proponents of
the measure have set in motion ele-
ments that will defeat their very ends
of a unified nation: that will leave
schisms and strife instead of coordin-
ated working of all citizens.
The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1922-11-09

1t was heartening to as last week tC
find just how many people read The
Glacier. But it was little rough on
us to be called on the carpet for ar
error. Zealously intending to aid in
making Saturday. November IL, one
of the biggest holidays Of the city we
broke first page column and inserted
therein two-inch box, which carried
the information that "next Thursday
would be a complete holiday. We had
arranged, apparently, for Armistice
Day to be celebrated two days early.
From the telephone messages we re-
ceived. our error created more interest
in the day than if we had made cor
rect statement. We wonder if there is
anyone in Hood River Valley now who
does not know that Armistice Day falls
on Saturday?
AS for us, it was a mistake Of the
head instead of the heart, and FORUM
ately it occurred early enough for
effective correction. 1t wasn't like a
doctors mistake.

greatly improved, and 2,200 miles have
