PLANS MADE FOR
ARM|ST|CE EVENT
Major Thad Stem, of Ok
ford, Will Be Chief
Speaker Wednesday

Plans have virtually been complet-
ed for the observance of Armistice
Day here next Wednesday, November
II, by the local post of the American
Legion. Other than the program of
the Legion post, however, there will
be no general observance of the 18th
anniversary of the signing of the
agreement that ended the World War
in 1918.
1t is expected that some notice of
the event will be taken in the schools
of the city, however.
Major Thad G. Stem, of Oxford, for
mer mayor of that city, and a World
War veteran, has been chosen as the
speaker for the occasion. The post
will have a barbecue in the evening in
the Armory of Company C, National
Guard infantry unit, and Major
Stems address will follow that.
No dance will be undertaken this
year, as has been the case in the
post.
The local post is engaged in a mem
bership contest, which has been ex-
tended to Armistice Day in the hope
of giving all veterans an opportunity
to renew their membership in the
post. Last reports were that the post
had approximately 165 members sign
ed for this year.
Major j. c.. Cooper is the comman-
der of the post this year.
