Armistice Day, will be a
quiet one locally. The only busi

opinion that to "carry on" with no

most patriotic observance this year,
since recognition of national holi

for the day are the annual dinner
of the American Legion and the ' expected to he present, including
annual dinner meeting of the local
State Guard unit.

This Month
The sale of Christmas Tubercu
losis seals, sponsored in this state
by the North Carolina Tuberculosis
Association, Inc., and locally by
the Woman's Club, will open during
the week, according to Mrs. Frank
Ferguson, chairman.
The seal of 1943 expresses in the
face of a little child that faith
which normally all happy, well
cared for children have on Christ
mas. The tension and anxiety of
recent months have affected the
lives of children in varying degrees.
Now, more than ever, those spon
soring the sale point out, that par

child's need for affection at home
and in the school.
