about. Before they got through April
Jones was made chairman of the com

and made secretary. 1t was agreed that
the Methodist minister was To open
the meeting, that the Baptist pastor
should offer prayer, and that the Con-

sermon, with the Methodist to pro
nounce the benedictiOn.
"And well have three chOirs get to-

First Thanksgiving Proclamation

II was in 1850, on the 3D. day Of Oc.
tober, in New York, that George Wash
ington as the first president of the
United States issued the first national
proclamation for Thanksgiving day
In the South ii was not until 1883
that the day was recognized Governor
Johns Of Virginia in that year sent Il
message TO the legislature asking leg
islative acknowledgment of the day. 50
that he might the more properly pub
liSh II proclamation. The advice given
him was negative, because the pro-
posed holiday had origin in purtanc
bigotry.'
Nevertheless. there was difference
Of opinion, and two years later, the
next governor of Virginia issued n
Thanksgiving proclamation, without
asking advice. Eight southern states
began To keep the day the ensuing
year, and did SO IN Il manner of great
hospitality, up to the time the CiviI
war broke out.

PROVED EQUAL TO OCCASION
Super's Blunder Merely Served TO
Show the Resourcefulness OF
Hamilton Footlites.

Dewey, discussing the naval battle
of Skagerrak, said at Washington
luncheon:
"A naval officer, to succeed, must be
very quickwitted and resourceful. Ia
fact, he must be like Hamilton Foot
lites.
Ham Footlites leaned on the rail of
his sea going yacht soliloquizing about
love while the blue waves rolled and
heaved splendidly, each blue wave
being a super under roll of canvas.
"But the waves were here and there
threadbare, and suddenly wave
ripped and head bobbed up in the
midst of the heaving sea and stared
around in bewildered fashion.
"Ham Footlitcs silenced the audi
ence's filters with one stern glance.
"Man overheard he yelled in
stentorian tones.
'"Then the super, managing to draw
back his head through the hole in the
wave, disappeared. Ham Footlies
heaved a stormy sigh.
"'Another victim seized by the re-
lentless sea, alas he said"

that is all he did. 1t doesn't take
much effort to agree. Dan did well as
Il cer,; in the grocery. but rs n slim
uator of the town he didn't make
much progress. Likewise he didn't
make much progress up ut the Jones
place. June smiled, but April stormed.
AS Thanksgiving approached, the
three Local pastors began to think
about their Thanksgiving services. The
Choirs were rehearsed, and certain
Thanksgiving sermons were busted off,
looked over and rewritten. One day
the minister of the Methodist church
said to his wife:
There's April Jones. He has more
TO be thankful for than any of us, as
far as this worlds goods go. Wouldn't
it be a fine thing to get Ape out to
our Thanksgiving meetingT
His wife Immediately said it would
and she couldn't help wondering if
it might not ultimately have some
effect on her husbands back salary
although it was worldly thought. SO
that very afternoon her husband called
ut the bank and invited April Jones.
April Jones said he'd see-and he
was so decent about It that the min
lister told his wife that April Jones
was misjudged man. The Baptist
pastor saw them through the bank
window and, as May taught in the Bap-
fist Sunday school and June sang in
the choir, he decided that it would be
no more than right to drop in and have
a talk with their father and mention
the Thanksgiving services.
"The absence of our leading citizen
said the pastor, ''would throw cold wa,
ter on the whole service"
well, little cold water ain't going
to hurt a Baptist, is it?' asked April
with something that approached a
chuckle. And, not quite so pleasantly
he said he would see.
April Jones was n suspicious per

him if he wouldn't come to the Con
gregational service, he rOared:
