tcontinued from page one)

(continued from page one)
This year will mark the fifth OBJ
eervance OF Veterans Day on No
vember IL. Since World War l that
date had been known as Armistice
Day, but after World War ii and
Korea 1t seemed to have little
meaning. BY an act of the 83rd
Congress the name was changed
TO Veterans Day so that all ex-
servicemen could participate with
tull meaning on the occasion.
Mr.. Frederick said that he had
notified the heads of all veterans
groups and auxiiiaries in the state
10 attend a preliminary meeting to
outline plans for Delaware's Vet
Grams Day observance. New Jersey
groups have also been contacted.
1t is expected that an Interstate
observance will be scheduled Sum
day afternoon, November 8, at Del
aware Memorial Bridge Plaza. The
first such gathering was held two
years ago to mark the completion
of the war memorial there.
Mr.. Frederick said that posts
and auxiliaries of all organizations
on the. local level should contact
schools, churches, service clubs,
ETC., in an effort to have them join
in the November 18th observance.
