Armistice Day Focus Turns From Glory To Remembrance
A 1948 reflection notes Armistice Day as a memorial to the dead, not universal peace, honoring soldiers who defended homeland borders. It contrasts postwar anxieties with East West tensions, citing Berlin, Russia, and Chiang Kai-shek’s government amid ongoing global conflict. A Helena Montana tale on Last Chance Gulch recounts a gold find under a hotel, with managers pouring concrete rather than mining, illustrating changing values and a gold reserve kept by the U.S. government.
