Matrons rushed out of doors .leavinr.the breakfast uncooked to tell th» good news to neighbor»; moo shouted and boasted, and children, sensing the good humor of Jtheir parents, rollicked in glee. Thu» began the day of almost universal rejoicing. It was as if a pressure had been relieved from minds, or like psM^H lMYrtlff suddenly been reihoyed tb allow freedom again to lU%e people. <• Probably no greater relief will ever be felt by those who w«r» then hriag than they «perienced on that day. They sang again with joy who had only been singing in groups by com- mand; they danced with abandon where th y had been dancing ' only to keep up a flaggering morale. No one will forget that day. It was born full fledged as a holiday as the wires carried the verified message telling of the end of the war. • Our"other holidays have grown upon us, gradually through many years. This one bunt upon us and nothing can keep it from being a holiday to this generation, at leant. , Still, though November 11 ia recognized as a holiday, it haa not found its place. It is celebrated differently In some places than in others. To some it resembles Memorial day, toothers it is celebrated more like the nation's birthday. The original Armistice day was a day of joy, of renewed hope, of faith in the ultimate victory of what was considered the right. ... ' . .. There ia a place for tueb a holiday no*, thi. year, and probably will be for years to come. We need a day of joy. We need re’ newed hope. And we need have faith in the ultimate victory °f hard working people over adverse economic circumstances. ' ..--------- o--------- , ’ -1932. - A Mrs. Pauline entertain- . „ Wilcox „ ... ...
