deer as a friendly contribution to-
ward the feast. And this is presumed
by many persons to be the first real
Thanksgiving day in America. Yet,
since there was no special religious
service upon this occasion, recognized
authorities disclaim this theory OF
the origin.
Rather, they point to July 80, 1923,
when Miles Standish returned from a
voyage with sadly needed provisions
and the glad tidings that ship was
nearing the shore. When this ship,
the Anne, had anchored, and relatives
and friends necessarily left behind in
Holland because the Mayhower could
not accommodate all those seeking re-
ligious freedom in the new world, had
joined the little colony at Plymouth,
the colonists were so overjoyed that a
public service Of prayer and thanks
giving was considered meet. This,
holding both religious and social ele-
ments, is in the minds of New Eng
landers, the basis of the national cele-
bration today.
Long Time Between Celebrations.
But two centuries and half elapsed
before the nation as unit followed
the early example. Local celebra-
tons throughout Massachusetts be-
came common meanwhile, and in 1880
public Thanksgiving day was held
in Boston by the Bay colony, though
the first written record of such day
still remaining in the colonial records
of the Bay state credits February %,
1851. This had been appointed as a
fast day by Governor Winthrop on &C.
count of the severe reverses with
which the colony had met. The wealth
er had been unusually cold the entire
winter, game was scarce and the
Lyon, which had been dispatched to
England for food, was given up as lost
on the high seas. The children had
come to digging mussels out of the
frozen ground as help in sustaining
life, and finally five kernels Of corn
were given out as the daily ration of
each colonist. The fast day appointed
then was not merely for abstinence
from food, for that was practically i'm
perative anyway, but it was to be
a special day Of supplicatiOn for food
and greater comfort. A day or two be-
fore the appointed time the long
looked-for Lyon came sailing into the
harbor laden with provisions and the
fast day became a feast day instead.

that Colonel Allison, purchasing agent

sales for shells and shell fuses from
the Canadian shell committee, through
the aid of General Hughes, and had
