Suggest Neuu Method of
Observing I Thanksgiving

A different way of celebrating
Thanksgiving Day this year has been
suggested by the state council of de-
Tense.
Thanksgiving day, the council
points out, is the most personal and
quietest of all American holidays. 1t
is solely American, and offers bet
ter opportunity than more boisterous
festivals for comradeship, which Gros-
venor B.. Clarkson, director OF the
field division and secretary OF the
Indiana council of defense described
as "the very root of true American
ism"
1t is urged that every person who
has home to invite some one to his
table on Thanksgiving someone of
foreign birth who is not yet familiar
with American ways. and take that
opportunity to make clear to him the
meaning Of America.

keep ON WlTH-WAR
WORK, IS REQUEST

We must keep on with all our wal
efforts until we are informed by the
officials at Washington that we may
stop, is the essence of letter receiv-
ed by w w. Keller, chairman of the
Wayne County Council of Defense.
The letter stated that there are
grave possibilities of the danger of a
continuation of public demonstrations
based on unfounded rumors of peace.
Such demonstrations if war activities
were let up would only aid the enemy.
1t also reminded the people that even
though an armistice should be con-
cluded there are still great problems
to be confronted in the future.
I'VE are bound to keep faith with
our allies who need all the food, all
the material aud perhaps added sums
of money that can be furnished them.
No lessening of the determination of
our organization will serve. We must
maintain the morale of the second line
of defense until our boys return"
