Editor Suggests Countywide Celebration of Armistice Day, 1921

Celebrating Armistice Day

The word has gone forth from Washington that the Nation will come to a full stop for two minutes Armistice Day—November 11. We wonder if Brevard will remember to pause and pay honor to the unknown dead of the great war. One hour at noon is to be devoted to prayer and reverent memories of the dead. Brevard should take some official action in regard to this halt of the Natin to honor the unknown dead of the great war. We owe those men everything. Let us always revere their memories. And if possible, a glorious get-to-gether meeting of all the citizens of Transylvania should be held that great day.

From the editorial page of the Brevard News, Oct. 7, 1921. W.E. Breese, owner, and Wm. A. Band, publisher.
