Origin of Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving Day was first celebrated
in the autumn of 1921. The previous
winter had severely tried the courage
and endurance of the band of Pilgrims
at Plymouth. But the summer of 1921
changed the course of events and when
the autumn came with fair crops the
survivors were all ready to withstand
the rlgors OF the coming winter.
Governor William Bradford decided
that there was cause for giving thanks
and for feasting, aad he detailed four
men to go hunting to supply the table
with wild fowl. Wild turkeys were
plentiful in the woods at that time, and
in one day, historians say, the four hunt
ers Killed enough game to supply the
company for a week. Thirty wives sup
piled the necessary pies made from the
yellow pumpkins recently gathered, and
thus turkey and pumpkin pie formed a
principal part of the first Thanksgiving
celebration, as they have of every ami
versary OF the day since that time.
The Pilgrims were not content with
celebrating one day, and feasting and
merrymak1ng lasted for a week. Chief
Massasoit and 80 of his copper colored
followers paid visit to the colony dur
| ing the week, and were heartily well
coined and royalty entertained.
| Thus Thanksgiving was born. 1t con-
tinued to be celebrated in the New Eng
land colonies, though not with any regu-
larity, for about so years. Thanksgiv-
ing was observed IN July, 1923, because
OF the timely arrival of ship load of
supplies. Six years later the accession
Of William and Mary to the English
throne was SINH larly celebrated and the
victory over the PeQuOds was the cause
of day of Thanksgiving in 1887.
1t was about 1880 when the celebra.
ton Of the day became an annual Gus.
tom in Massachusetts Colony, and was
regularly ordered by the General Court
During the revolutionary war there were
eight public obseryances of the day by
act OF the Continental Congress. The
first national Thanksgiving was ordered
by Congress and proclaimed by President
Washington in 1889, and since that time
the last Thursday in November has beer
regularly declared a national holiday
Gradually the various states adopted the
custom Of recognizing the institution by
prOclamations by the various governors

TOLEDO, OHIO
The Best Known Newspaper i'm

CIRCULATION 100000
Popular in Every State
No Whiskey Advertising

The seventy-sixth year of it's existence
finds the Toledo Blade more popular than
at any period of its remarkable career.
1t is now read each week by more than
a million people. It's field is not circum-
scribed by State boundaries, but involves
the length and breadth of the United
States, giving it an unquestiOnable right
of claiming to be the greatest national
weekly newspaper in the country.
The Weekly Blade is distinctly a fam
lily newspaper. The one object its pub
fishers has always been to make it fit for
the American home for the Preside, and of
interest to every member of the family.
10 fulfill this purpose it is kept clean
and wholesome. The news of the world
is handled in comprehensive manner,
and the various departments of The
Blade are edited with painstaking care.
The Household page is a delight to the
women and children; current affairs are
treated editOrially without prejudice; the
serial stories are selected with the idea
OF pleasing the greatest number of fiction
lovers; the Question Bureau is a scrap
book of information; the Farmstead col
umns are conducted with the purpose of
giving the patrons a medium for the eX
change of ideas and information on farm
topics. No department is neglected, but
every feature is taken care of with the
idea Of making The Blade worth many
times the price of SubscriptiOn-On
