4*2:
Whoop 'er up, everybody! Amherst y/\\\ celebrate Armistice day with
a great "welcome home",for her soldiers, in addition to celebrating the
great day Itself. Committees are now
at work, and it looks like the biggest
event In years.
A meeting was held in the council
chambers of the town hall last evening to discuss the celebration of Armistice day, Nov. il, and whether or
not the celebration of thut day would
be combined with the homecoming
welcome of the soldiers.
The meeting was called by Mayor
Foster, who notitled ail the organizations of the town, including tralfinal
societies, churches, schools, etc., to
have representatives at the meeting.
Most of the organizations responded
well and nearly all were represented.
The meeting was opened by Mayor
Foste^and he called for nominations
for permanent chairman. A motion
was made and seconded that he act
as permanent chairman, lie accepted
and said he would do all in his power
to make that celebration a complete
success. J. J. Smythe was then elected secretary and treasurer of the
committee and took his place in the
secretary's chair.
The next point of discussion brought
up wus whether Amherst should celebrate Armistice day with the homecoming celebration which has been
looked forward to for some time by
everyone, or to celebrate them separately. An open discussion was held
and the decision made that the two
events will be celebrated together in
one big day, and to make It as 'big"
a celebration as can be. Foster stated
he is quite sure nearly all the soldier
boys are home. Those that are not
are in the regular service and the
time for their discharge is not cerlain.
and it will not be necessary to hold
back the celebration o£ the homecoming for them.
Whet Kind of Celebration?
The question wus then usketl by
many of the delegates: "What kind of
a celebration are we going to have?"
It was linally decided, alter much
discussion, that the day would consist of a general celebration, with a
big banquet in the evening for the
boys. Outside of that, nothing definite
was decided upon. A motion was
passed that the chairman appoint,
committees, such as finance, program,
parade, decoration, publicity and music.
The number of soldiers that will be
present cannot be definitely determined. Dr. G. M. Parker of the American Legion stated that in Hie territory Including Amherst, South Amherst, Brownhelm and vicinity the
soldiers number 246, but it is doubtful
whether that many would turn out at
such a celebration. It was thought by
many that probably 125 or luu would
be present.
The Committees.
The matter of appointing committees was next up for dlscusson. The
chairman Anally appointed the four
ladles present—Mrs. It. C. Blum, Mrs.
Charles Boughton, Mrs. G. M. Parker
and Mrs. George Hoffner—to act on
that committee, with Mrs. Blum ns
chairman. Its duties are to arrange
the menu for the banquet, secure a
place for holding it, and take entire
charge. The chairman of this committee asked the price that the general committee wanted to pay for the
banquet. The price set was $2 a plate
and the ladies were told to fix 'er up
In fine style.
The  Finance Committee.
A finance committee was appointed
as follows: A. Baker, chairman; E. 11.
Nlcholl,   W.   G.   Schaeffer,   Frank   Do
Paul.
The work of the finance committee
Is to get the money for the expenses
of the entire day. All other committees will send their bills to this committee and It will pay them. It is its
duty to solicit the people of Amherst
for donations to meet the expense,
and it is hoped it will meet with the
hearliest co-operation. Mr. Baker Is
an able man as chairman and he will
see that the money is secured in plenty, if anybody can.
The Decoration Committee.
The decoration committee as chosen by the chairman Is as follows: A.
M. Schofleld, chairman; .lohn Ludwig,
Jay Orcutt, William Baird, Norman
Brucker.
All this committee has lo do Is to
see that Amherst Is a little better
dressed up than ever before in her history, including the downtown streets
and private residences. On the big
day Amherst wants to look as tf it
really is celebrating something, and it
will.
Publicity Committee.
The publicity committee is as follows:   E.  E.  Foster, chairman;   E   A.
Little, Stanley Hart.
It will be the work of the publicity
committee to see that all the soldiers
are invited properly, to keep the news-

papers well posted on the subject of
Ihe celebration and take care of nil
the advertising needed for the day.
Committee on Muec.
Frank Krugman was named chairman of the committee on music, assisted by Bert Monger nnd F. R. Powers.
The music committee will see that
n band is provided for and music furnished for the banquet in the evening.
Mr. Krugman, director of the Amherst
band, is an able chairman of this committee. Mr. Powers Is noted for bis
ability In selecting n musical program.
The Program Committee.
The program committee will be as
follows: R. C. Ulum, chairman; C. K.
Cooper, 0. G. Aschenbaeh. A. C. Kree-
gef, l\ K. Powers, one member of the
American Legion.
The program committee Is the one
heavy committee of the entire org'i'ii-
ttlton. Its duty is to see that there
is something doing every minute of
Ihe day and Its success will largely

to arrange the program for the day.
secure a good speaker from out of
town, and see that one snort or part
of Ihe program does not conflict with
another. They will also determine
who Is to M present at the banquet.
It was discussed whether the general
coiiiinitlee should be allowed to attend
aneL pay for its own supper or not.
Thut mutter will be decided Inter.
The Parade Committee.
The para.de committee is led by II.
A. .Monger, with Jay Gillette and Robert Cromwell us assistants.
Mr. Monger, chairman, expressed the
opinion that never before in Amherst
had a parade been successfully carried out, simply because there never
has been a parade committee and
■verythlng Is always left to one man,
the marshall. This committee will
huve the parade arranged In proper
order before the day of festivities
ami each person or organization will
knitw where its place is. It was stated
that everyone in Amherst should be
in the parade except the soldiers, and
they should be on a reviewing stand.
Intervewing Committee.
A committee to correspond with
the soldiers and people of South Amherst und Brownhelm was appointed
as follows: Dr. Parker, Dr. H. W. Powers. E. C. Schuler.
These men will meet representatives from South Amherst and Brownhelm to see if these two places are
willing lo join Amherst tn her celebration of the signing of the armistice.
Football Gamee.
A great deal of time was devoted to
a discussion of the mutter of having
sports for the day. Coach Kreeger of
the Amherst Ar C. was there to represent his team, while Stanley Hart,
manager of the high school team, represented that team. It was decided
that the A. 0. should schedule a game
for the afternoon of Nov. 11 and the
high school team a game for the morning. The expenses of both teams will
be met by the finance" committee, bo
a free gate will be enjoyed by everyone. The teams will be announcd
later, but both managers assure good
games.
A dance will be given on the evening of the 11th for the benefit of the
American Legion by the girls of the
Au Courant club. This will afford entertainment for the greater part of
the evening. ProWably a mardi gras
will be held In the earlier part.
To Purchase Flag.
One member of the committee suggested that on Armistice day the local
post of the American Legion be presented with an American flag purchased by the donations of the general
public. A committee was appointed to
Investigate this matter as follows: H.
A. Monger. W. J. Bodmann, P. F. Mc-
Garvey. They will report at the next
meeting and probably will have samples to show the committee.
It's a Great Day.
Nov. 11 will be remembered as one
of the most Important events in history, it is the anniversary of the day
on which the Germans unconditionally
surrendered to the allies. The event
probably saved thousands of American lives, and it will be celebrated every year by every allied nation and
proclaimed a national holiday In the
United States. In Amherst steps have
been taken to celebrate the day without the proclamation by the president,
thus showing the patriotic spirit of
the citizens here. In addition to celebrating the day she is going to welcome home In royal manner the soldiers who have fought In France and
trained in the camps of the United
States. They deserve every bit of
praise and recognition that we can
give them.
In the near future you will probably
be asked to contribute something to
the financial end of this great celebration. Don't turn the solicitor away
without contributing something. Give
what you think you can afford   and
Dr. G. M. B.rker and Clarence Ba
ker, local delegates of the American
Legion, gave a report of the first convention or the legion In Ohio, held at
Columbus Oct. 8 and !). at a regular
meeting of the local post Inst Thursday evening In the council chamber

Need Permanent Meeting Rooms.
The legion Is having considerable
difficulty in locating permanent meet
ing' rooms. A committee was appointed to investigate this matter and see
the oflicers of several of the nth. 'i
local orders in order to secure li permanent meeting place. It was suggested some time ago that when this
place was secured It would be up to
the public of Amherst to furnish it.
donating such articles that are necessary for a club room.
At the meeting the legion voted to
co-operate with the rest of the community in making Armistice day a
great celebration nnd expressed their
wish to make It such. Most of them
know what it meant for them while
In France to have the war end, and
are anxious to celebrate the event.
The members of the legion were
told the obligation and duties of the
order. They are to find out whether
any dependents of soldiers killed or
wounded in service are in need and
report the same to the government,
which will take care of them.

ami takes the must interest in the
contest, the one who is willing to give
a few minutes each week in order
lo make a few extra dollars.
Money Might Be Useful.
The prize money, amounting to fifty dollars in gold will probably be
mighty UBeful to the winners. Twenty-
five dollars would buy a new dress, or
two pairs of shoes, or 8 bushels of
potatoes.   Ten dollars will buy u cou-
muke It liberal. Help make the day
glorious for the soldiers. It's their
