Will Be Piloted By C. W. Myers, Of Greensboro. Getting Ready For Big Event. As the date of the big-Armistice Day celebration grows nearer the American Legion committees, the Red Cross, with h its many auxiliaries throughout the county, are all getting busier, and everything points to the biggest celebration held inVWIltes County, a celebration' for not onlyall the people of Wilkes, but many of the adjoined counties as- well. The program of the day Is practic ally arranged. It's a. sure thing that an aeroplane will be here for the en tire day, providing weather conditions permit, and it is probable that Senator F. M .Simmons, a nationally known North Carolinian, will make an ad dress, although he is now recuperat ing at his home after jstrenuous work in the Senate.1 Mr. C. W Myers, of Greensboro, was in the city last Friday. He owns an aeroplane, and has been doing much flying , over the Stgte. He as sured Commander J. B. McCoy that he would arrive, here on the afternoon prior to the date of the celebration and that he would remain herethe nf Nnv. lltK He will do stunt QnH will rarrv nasseneers. The American Legion post is fortunate in securing Mr. Myers, for he has been flying for seven years, and during the war he was an aviation instruc tor. The following letter was received by Commander McCoy a few days ago: Mr. J. B. McCoy, Commander, American Legion, North Wilkesboro, N. C. My dear Mr. McCoy: I am in receipt of your telegram asking me if I cannot state definitely whether I will be able to attend the celebration in your town on Armis tice Day. My physical condition is still very bad. My improvement since my return home has not been very; satisfactory aside under the.adw. my physician, I do not feel that I could in Justice to myself do anything that might - further jeopardize my health. All I can say is" what I have said De- fore I will come if I can. I regret this situation very much, but I can not help it, and I beg my friends to be patient with me until I am again full v fit for service. Begging you to believe my regret sincere , and with assurance of high esteem, I am Very truly yours, F. M. SIMMONS. Should Mr. Simmons be unable to come there will be other prominent speakers to. address the large crowd which is expected to gather here Ar mistice Day. f Other features of the celebration will be the' picnic dinner, a football game between the high schools of the Wilkesboros and Lenoir, the screening of the picture, "Skin Deep", at the local theatre, fine band music, and fire works at 6:30 p. m. All the people of the county are urged to come and make the celebra tion a success. Ministers throughout the county are urged to announce that tribute will be paid to the fallen, and urge their congregations to come, es pecially the families which embrace ex-service men. Tell your neighbor about the cel ebration, and plan now to ccme to North Wilkesboro together, on the 1.1 of November.
