This Day in History: 1918-11-11
The official end of the World War – Armistice Day – the real victory celebration was a repeat and more so of the false one that was rumored on last Thursday. Schools were closed, bells were rung and a victory celebration was held in the Ramsey High school auditorium. Immediately sugar rations were raised, several men who had been called for induction were told not to report and the surgical dressing work has been discontinued. (Bristow)
