"!f we might judge by outward ap-pe.-'.raiH'cs,
November the 11th - has
never meant a ereat deal to the aver
age citizen. I believe it means less to
day than i:i the past. That within
itself is not so shocking, but too
many of the traditions upon which
our country was founded have be
come negative in the minds of
many people. A proper reverence for
Armistice Day does not i.eed neces
sarily to carry with it a glorification
nf war."

Bell Love chapter, D. A. R. "No. as i
individuals we do, but as people we 1
are inclined to forget in our enthu-I
siastic patriotic celebrations the un-,
fortunate circumstances which
brought about the occasion, particu
larly the great universal suffering and
too i the intrigues, deception and all for-
gclfulness of the Christian spirit,
which led up to the consumation of
this argument."
Mr. W. L. McCracken Past pres
j ident Haywood chapter ef the Daugh
ters of the Confederacy- No, I do
not think we have the proper appre
ciation of the day. In the first place
the World War was not fought on
our soil, and we cannot have the
; same realization of its meaning that
I the European countries do. I feel
j that we fail when we do not make of
A. Bradley World War Vet-i the occasion a day of great thanks-
Only the veterans and those giving for peace, and realize what it
means to us as individuals and as a
nation." .
Col, J. It. Howell Postmaster and
World War Veteran "No, Armistice
Day represents not only the sacrifice
of the soldiers, but the people in the
United effort of the nation to effect
a lasting peace for the world. We
are getting too far away from the
seriousness of its meaning."
