II THANKSGIVING
BY JAMES w. sEckMAN.


We observe Thanksgiving day In
keeping with the time-honored Gus,
tom Of the Pilgrims.
Thanksgiving day was born In the
hearts Of grateful little group Of
people who had survived narrowing
season.
Real thanksglvines are those which
come spontaneously In moments Of
gratitude for deliveranee from dis.
tress, appreciation Of the beauties Of
life or enjoyment Of genuine friend
ship.
We are thankful that most OF our
troubles never happened and that
those which did passed over like the
storms.
The wealth Of the world has been
Killing our Golfers to overflowing. Min
Ions Of Mammon Give thanks like tbs
blatant fatted calf, all unmlndful Of

next may bring forth.-llIustrated Sun.

Remember Those Who Served.

The great spirits of earth have been
men and women who, with thanksgiv-
ing in their hearts and on their lips,
served faithfully the ages in which
they lived. They won the victories
and reconstructed the situations
through which our blessings have been
handed down, to us. For their conse-
Grated services let us be truly thank
full Nor in our thanksgiving must we
overlook the heroic service rendered
by our own boys In the great, recent
conflict, and the supreme sacrifice
many Of them made. They, together
with their brave comrades Of the ma
tons allied with us in the battle for
righteousness, saved democracy for
the world.
