 Armistice Day Parade. l Pla!nville observed Armistice Day
 in simple but fitting manner yester-
 day afternoon with a parade in
 which about 400 persons participat-
 ed. Headed by Special Officer David Kaufman and mrashaled by Peter | F. Duffy. the procession set out iron,
 Legion hall on Whiting street short
 ly after the appointed hour of
 o'clock. The Savoy band of New ! Britain furnished music. The first
 organization in line was Brock
 Barnes post, American Legion, head
 ed by Commander James Paul, the 1 jaunty blue legion caps giving the ex-sericemen the desired air Of uni ] formity. Co. I, state guard. led by
 Stanley s. Gwillim and wearing | khaki service caps, followed. Then came the local Boy Scout
 troops, a pleasing touch Of color
 being given to the procession by their uniforms and their red neck
 erchiefs. Behind them came fully 25o school children from the Broad l and Linden street buildings. the youngsters turning out in splendid fashion and making one of the hits of the day. The marchers were fol- | lowed by a number Of cars bearing ] the members of the ladies auxiliary ! to Brock Barnes post; Newton Man ross chapter, Woman's Relief Corps; and the P.a!nville Public Health ! Nursing association.
 The parade circled the route talk i ing in Whiting, West Main, Wash l ington, and Broad streets. As 1t passed Legion hall against the chil- 1 dren dropped out of line and were taken into the building, where hot ! dogs were served. The balance of
 the parade passed down East Main street to the railroad tracks and ! countermarched to the hall. Here | the band gave a short concert Of ! patriotic airs. The curhs were well i lined with onlookers all along the ! route.
 Automobile traffic caused much confusion during the course of the i marching, especially on the main
 streets. The drivers showed no con- sideration of the marchers and
 swooped by them with but inches i to spare, while the congestion in the 1 automobile division of the process
 sion became quite dangerous. One f accident occurred on East Main street, when one machine was un- able to stop as suddenly es the one , in front did, but smashed bumper was the only result. It was suggest cd that in the future. If motorists
 will not be decent enough to give
 the right Of way 10 parades. the roads along the line of march be closed and rtafic closedietaoinshrdlu closed and traffic forced to see other
 ways during the duration of the marching.
