CHERRY ASKING FOR A BETTER WORLD ! Raleigh—Governor Cherry said in an Armistice day radio address that “a better civilization must be constructed out of the sad experi ences of war if a just and endur ing peace is to flourish.” “It will take the efforts of all veterans of all wars, in co-opera tion with right-thinking citizens of all nations, to create and keep forever a healthy sentiment which will assure our people a proper national leadership,” the governor said.

King placed a wreath at the Canadian monu ment. Attlee placed one on the grave of Sir John. Veterans’ organizations were in the forefront of most observances. At Arlington, Mrs. Dwight D. Eisenhower placed a wreath on the Unknown Soldier’s tomb on behalf of the American veterans of World War II. American Legion services at the tomb were marked by addresses by Edward N. Scheiberling, Le gion national commander, and by Mrs. Charles B. Gilbert, national president of the Legion Auxiliary.
