Armistice Day
"In Flanders fields,Hlie poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That marks our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly—-
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead, short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved; and now we lie
In Flanders fields.” •
We close on Armistice Day in commemoratioc ol the day
that closed the greatest yyar the world has ever known. We
are proud of “OUR BOYS" and the great part they played
"over there” in making the world safe for democracy.
Nothing is too good for those who went bravely to the
f front. We feel the greatest sympathy for ttiose who lost
their loved one$, and those who lie in Flanders fields are
sacred and dear to us.
