Armistice Day
We understand that the Ex-service men of Buntingford are again making arrangements to commemorate Remembrance Day.
The first Armistice Day was to the vast majority of our townsmen, a day of rejoicing, but since the burial of the Unknown Warrior in Westminster Abbey on Nov. 11th 1920, we rightly speak of this great anniversary as Remembrance Day.
In our issue next week, we shall publish a full programme for the observance of Sunday, November 11th.
Buntingford and District Improvement Society
This society was formed in 1921, and without doubt many sincere efforts were made to improve conditions in this town and district.
A large number of residents and tradesmen gave a very considerable part of their valuable time in discussing various suggestions that were brought forward by the public.
There is no doubt that these meetings must have been beneficial to the public in general, and they were also enjoyable from a social point of view.
We understand that there is a balance of a few pounds still in hand, and no doubt the Hon. Treasurer would welcome any suggestions for using it to the best advantage.
It seems a great pity when such a large body of residents so willingly joined this society, to let it fade away.
May we suggest a revival of this movement? A friendly meeting of tradesmen and residents to discuss local conditions, say once a month during the winter can surely have nothing by good results.
We invite correspondence on this subject, and should be pleased to see a public meeting arranged.
A Broken Leg
The many friends of Mr D. Little will regret to learn that whilst playing in a football match at Puckeridge, on Saturday last, Mr Little had his leg broken.
He was conveyed to the Hertford County Hospital, where he is progressing quite satisfactorily.
