CRANBERRY SAUCE
Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving

WE THINK that almost all of us have
w secret feeling of uneasiness that the
celebration Of November II did not quite
express all that was in our hearts. 1t was
a natural outburst of spirits, distilled and
otherwise; it was a glorious pagan rout;
but it was somewhat overburdened with
clamor. 1t by no means went to the bot
tom Of our souls, where the coming Of
peace plentifully attended with victory
stirs the most poignant compositions and
gratitudes we know.
The truth of the matter is that we all
still have, in the inmost corridors of our
beings, a reserve of celebration and joy,
business that pains us because we don't
know how to express it. Probably more
poems have been started and destroyed by
conscientious poets in the last fifteen days
than ever before. Even the poets have
felt, or have been told by their friends,
that the situation was too big for them to
handle.
The four weeks from Thanksgiving to
Christmas, the brightest md happiest days
allotted to the calendar, ere consecrated to
gratitude for our own undeserved fortunes,
to forethought for magnifying the fortunes
of others,

EXILINC TURKEY

TURKEYS didn't help to win the war.
Turkey isn't an essential food. 1t has
a romantic association with Thanksgiving
which is usually capitalized by trafickers
in things to eat. II all the turkeys were
slain at one blow the world would roll on
AZ It rolled before, and no one would feel
pinch of hunger and our national vitality
would be in no wise lessened Turkey is
not SO nutritious as oatmeal or corned
beef and cabbage, and there are many peo-
pie who hold that it doesn't taste so good.

assurance that you are losing nothing of

rITY SOLICITOR CONNELLY's initia.
~ tive in calling together a committee to
study the need Of revising the city's char
ter Is to be commended. No suspicion OF
partisan or factional bias can be attached
to a body composed of representatives of
so many diverse interests and political
leanings as that formed in his office yester-
day, and to be expanded by the addition
of members from virtually every civic or
ganization and institution OF standing in
Philadelphia. This is the most hopeful
sign of the movement.
Attempts in the recent past to patch up
or rewrite the laws governing the munci
pality have failed uniformly because Of the
Intrusion Of partisan factors. Reformers of
unimpeachable intention have seen their
suggestions cast into the legislative waste
basket because they were seized upon by
one faction or another of the machine
politicians at Harrisburg whose axes
needed grinding. Recommendations of the
political leaders themselves were doomed
to bitterest opposition from the moment
Of their introduction because of their origin
quite irrespective of their intrinsic merit.
1t remained for somebody to break the
Ice of partsanship by assembling an or
ganization representing every element and
this is what Mr.. Connolly apparently set
out to accomplish. 1t was fitting that
the law officer of the city should take the
step and every citizen interested in the
welfare of the city ought to be ready to
cooperate with the committee when its

doubtedly wall be at subsequent meetings
