THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Nov.11 Reminds Citizens of 1918 Armistice Day
Tomorrow is Armistice Day, one of the "forgotten holidays" that people remember with a bitter smile or cynical sneer. Time was that November 11 was a day of rejoicing, the day the armistice was signed after "the war that was to end all wars." Was that only 26 years, just one generation, ago?
Some of us who can remember, or can remember hearing about the 1918 armistice will be inclined to remember with regret and bitterness, but many more of us will be thinking ahead of another armistice that must come in a year or two. Three years ago we were still hoping for a miracle to keep our country out of the present war, and tomorrow will be the third Armistice Day that we, as President Roosevelt said in his 1942 address at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, "do not cease from our work. We are going about our tasks in behalf of our fighting men everywhere; our thoughts turn in gratitude to those who have saved our nation in days gone by."
On the 24th anniversary of Armistice Day, the Germans occupied Vichy France, and the Allied forces had occupied Casablanca and Oran in North Africa. A year ago the President announced that he would make no Armistice Day address, although he honored the grave of the Unknown Soldier as usual. At that time headlines announced that Americans and British forces were

Rock Chalk Talk

We always thought the iceman was better known than this. . .
The Alpha O house was out of ice. Father Gaynor, up for a brief visit with daughter Mary Margaret, right away volunteered for service.
The day was Sunday, and were they positive the ice plant was open on Sundays, Mr. Gaynor wanted to known. Lorraine Witt, always joking, said "No it isn't, but you go around to the back door, knock three times, and ask for Joel!"
And sure enough, Papa Gaynor drove down to the ice plant, knocked three times, and asked for Joe. A burly blonde told him that she didn't know any Joes who worked there, but could she help him?
Flabbergasted Mr. Gaynor mumbled, "All I really wanted was some ice," grabbed the nearest 10-pound chunk, and made a speedy exit.

Quote of the week: The Chi Omega-Phi Gam party in the city last weekend was filled with the usual chatter, attendants report. Most interesting revelation came when Jean Cody, completely out of the blue, popped up with, "Love should be private, like a tooth brush."
Phi Gams are making tentative plans for a hayrack ride a week from tomorrow night.

fighting on the upper Voltumo river in Italy, and that the United States army had joined the marines at Empress Augusta bay in the Solomons. By Armistice Day, 1944, the outlook is even more optimistic.
Our war is not over yet, although we celebrate an Armistice Day tomorrow. It will not be a holiday or vacation for anyone this year, but we should pause to remember the last armistice while we are working and hoping for the end of this war.

No chaperones have been obtained as yet, but Phi Gams are centering their attentions on brother Dick Carter, who suffers from a severe case of night blindness.
Rosalie Erwin, Corbin hall, is a devoted reader of Indore lore. Also she likes stories about the pioneers. Lawrence is a historic spot, and Rosalie, accompanied by Mortar Boarder Jeanne Shoemaker, decided to get a better view of the town. They clambered up the sides of a downtown bank building via fire escape. Rosalie finally got somewhere near the top—Jeanne, out of breath, stayed below.
"The view was nice, but the boards were slippery," commented Rosalie. "I still haven't located the Santa Fe trail, but I'm on my way."
