George Bernhard, one of Germany's

by many pessimlsts.
Germany, he points out, holds VIDE
strips of valuable land to the east and
to the west If these lands are re-
turned TO their former owners they
must pay the price fixed by the VIC
tors, the writer declares. If the terri
tory be retained it would increase the

Of tax receipts. The refined financial

Today.

With the hurry and worry, the haste
and struggle that eharaeterlzes the
strenuous life of today it IS indeed
meet that one day Of each year Is set
aside as a day for the giving Of thanks,
lest in the pressure of the duties of life
we might forget. As a nation we have
no greater cause for thanksgiving this
year than in the many years proceed
ing, but through the misfortunes of
the European nations we are brought
to a stronger realization of the bless
ings which are ours.
Each year of life is fraught with
many changes, and to some of us many
of them have been sad ones. Yet with
the clouds of sorrow there have been
also sunshine and blessings, and if in
the year that has past the gloom has
overbalanced the brightness, let Us
remember that il Is not wise to live in
the past, whatever It may have been.
and let US cherish the sunshine of the
present, and let the hope of better
things bring comfort and gladness to
our hearts
Contrasting our lives with those of
our less fortunate fellow beings in
other lands, we we'll may pray. as has
another:
For life, Great God. we bring Thee
praise; for the broad world of beauty
and love. for Gifts of Slpht and hear
