Sunday, November 11, Armistice Day, will be quietly observed by the various churches of Tryon and the county at their regular Sunday services with suitable addresses for the occasion. According to t6he present plans of the various churches there will be no special celebration services on Sunday.
Monday, November 12, has been proclaimed by the President of the United States, the Governor of North Carolina, and local authorities as the official day of observance of the fifth annual observation of the date of the signing of the armistice between the warring nations in the World Warm, and the day of commemoration of those who died in the service of their country.
Owners of radio sets will be able to “listen-in” on the special music arranged by the many stations throughout the nation for Sunday evening. Church choirs, orchestras and prominent singers are scheduled to broadcast into the microphones throughout the evening.
Tryon will celebrate the day quietly, there being but too few ex-servicemen in town to make any attempt at a formal demonstration.
The Church of the Holy Cross will hold a brief celebration in the Parish House Monday afternoon at 4 o’clock under the auspices of the Reverend C.P. Burnett, rector, and according to present plans there will be a few addresses and other features appropriate to the occasion.
