HOW WE SHOULD CELEBRATE
-ARMISTICE DAY*'
We should all pause for at least 1
one hour (11:00 to 12:00) on Armis-I
tice Day November 1L of this year.
By stopping of all traffic so that
the day can be observed with a mo- •
ment of silent reverence.
When the hour arrives and traffic ’
is haulted, bells in the churches be'
tolled. “All to the end that each one
of us shall realize the fullness of that'
which we no have and that we must
now do to preserve it for ourselves 1
an dfor those who will come after us”. ■
We should see too that. In this hour
of peril and sacrifice to our nation
and to each of u». it seems not fitting
to celebrate the anniversary of a
peace which today no longer exists.
This instead is a time for resolution
for the task ahead and for realiza
tion of the stern price we must pay
for our nation, and from our homes, t
to perserve the liberties engraved in
our hearts. This Is a day for each of
us to re-dedicate ourselves and all ■
that is ours to the sacred rayse of li- j
berty.
We might use the rest of the day
with decorating the grave of “Our be- i
loved Dead Heroes”. This day should
be devoted to a “re-dedication of our'
lives, our fortunes and everything:
that is ours in the service of our na- j
tion”. |
We urge all citizens to prove their ■
loyalty to the Nations armed forces ;
of both the past and present by ob
serving in silence the designated hour"
in pause with silence.

Pastor Donalsonville Bapt. Church,

Vaccination Days
Are Announced
Miss Ethel Cowart, County Nurse,
will administer the typhoid vaccine,
smallpox vaccinations and diphtheria
serum in the F. D. R. School on the
following dates:
Friday, November 13th.
Friday, November 20th.
Friday, December 4.
The parents with children from
six months to six years of age whom
have not had them protected against
diphtheria, typhoid fever and small
pox are invited to carry them to the
school on the above mentioned dates
to have them protected against these
preventable diseases.
Miss Cowart points out that Diph
theria is a dangrous, catching disease
particularly deadly to children. It is
caused by a tiny, rod-shaped bacillus
that finds the lining of the nose and
throat the best place for its develop
ment. Once established in these mem
branes, it produces a powerful poison,
or toxin, which the blood absorbs and
carries all over the body. This toxin
acts on the heart and nerves and may
cause serious illness or death.
Children are most defenseless a
gainst this disease. During pre-school
years, their resistance is low and if
is not much higher when they begin
school and are exposed to many ave
nues of contagion. The very young
child is not only more apt tq tgkv
(Ijphthepja hpt js g)su more likely to
die of it than older children.
Every child can be protected and;
given immunity by the use of diph
theria toxiod. No child need have
this disease. The toxiod is non-poison
ous and yet has the power to arouse
the defensive powers of the human
body and cause immunity.

WAR BONOS
k A
When the American Expeditionary
Force landed in Ireland recently
newspapers reported the citizenry
remarked at the similarity of the
steel helmets worn by our boys with
those worn by German troops. These
steel hats are protection from shrap
nel fragments and other light mis
siles. We need thousands of them
for they are a regular' issue to every
American soldier.
A smart strap fastens under the
chin and they are padded for com
fort. One steel helmet costs $5 so
every time you fill a $5 stamp book
you are buying protection for an
American soldier. Invest at least
ten percent of your income in War
Bonds every pay day. Help your
community reach its War Bond
