11 a. m. Nov. 11
Armistice of World War I was
signed 25 years ago on Nov. 11,
1918. It became effective at 11 a.
m. and that day has been ob-
served through the years.
The date has much more signL,
ficance in the lives of the Amer-
ican people the past two years
since the nation has been engaged
in World War II.
Practically all of Panhandle will
take a holiday today in observ-
ance of the 25th anniversary.
School has been dismissed for the
day.
Game ai White Deer
Phillips Blackhawks will play
the Bucks at White Deer at 2:30
o’clock Thursday afternoon. An-
other game at Amarillo is between
the Sandies and the Lubbock
Westerners. These two games may
take a few persons out of the city.
The Panhandle Herald is pub-
lished a day early this w^eek so
that the Armistice Day message
of business firms may reach this
community today. Most firms were
(glad of the opportunity to pay a
tribute this week to the veterans
of 1917 and 1918 and to World
War II service men.
Because of the lack of time, not
all the business firms could be
called upon for this edition.
Kit Carson P'ost No. 441 made
the following statement regard-
ing the Armistice Day:
Legion Asks Prayer
“The American Legion of Car-
son county for many years spon-
sored an Armistice Day program
at the public schools. The press
of work and the shortage of gaso-
line has caused the Legion to omit
the program for 1943.
“In lieu of such a program, the
Legion is asking the public to set
aside a few minutes* at the eleven
o’clock hour to spend in thought
and prayer — thought as to how
we can best serve our country and
prayer for all its people who have
the burden of the present effort,
both in and out of uniform.
“May the motto of the Legion
‘For God and Country’ be indeli-
bly impressed upon our conscious-
ness and may all unite in support
of our national effort and give
thanks to the Maker that the peo-
ple of our country have been spar-
ed the suffering and sorrow that
so many people are undergoing.”
Panthers Beat
Sam Houston
Junior High
The Panhandle Panthers defeat-
ed a Sam Houston junior high
team of Amarillo 27-10 here last
Thursday.
Hi Pruitt and Bobby Anderson
accounted for two touchdowns
during the first period. John
Franklin made the only extra
point of that quarter. Scoring
again in the second quarter with
Frank McDaniel making the ex-
tra point, the Panthers chalked
up a half time tally of 20 points
to the junior Sandies’ 0.
Bobby Anderson made the last
touchdown in the third period and
the Panthers made the extra point.
During the last half of the game,
the second string received some
valuable playing experience.
The Panther starting line_up
was:
LE, Marvel; LT, Ketchum; LG,
Burum; C, Hawley; RG, Tow«; RT,
Stepvkin; RE, O’Keefe; QB, Pruitt;
