ARmIsTIcE DAY

The significance OF Armistics
Day is sadly dimmed today by the
shadows OF war. In years past II
has brought 10 memory OF older
residents the great Joy OF the an
nouncement that the war was over.
To the men who fought IN the first
World War It recalls their relief
from the sacrifices OF army life
and its attendant hardships.
But today It has added meaning.
II brings the unpleasant thought
that we have a situation ahead that
may call for q second arTnistice
and that suffering and sacrifice
greater than during the first war
may come in the meantime.
Feverishly We prepare for the
worst, hoping at the same time for
the best.
In that program Of preparation
there is consolation. 1t will be good
10 know that men will be better
informed, better trained and IN
better health than they who went
into service in the previous con-
fIict. Aside from that there is lit
Tie on the cheerful side. for the
thrill OF Joy no longer comes with
the observance OF Armistice Day.
II has changed TO kind OF me-
mortal day, a day OF gloom and
doubt and sadness.
Here in Ypsilant! there are the
men who served IN the first war
and who remind US OF the thoi-
sands OF others who served. To
them We can only express gratituue
and appreciation for their part IN
what they believed was the guaran-
tee OF long life for Democracy.
That we may soon be forced into
another war for preservation Of
this freedom is no fault OF theirs.
They did their full part and many
of them are now turning in 10 help
again in whatever capacity they
may be needed.
In the active ranks other men
will carry on. For them the ma
ton prays with the hope that in
some way the course upon which
we seem to be travelling may be
changed and peace be restored be-
fore all the world is again at each
others threats.
So Hail the veterans OF the War
for Democracy. Long may the
world feel the results Of the work
they did.
