Pessimism Has No Place
in the Real Spirit of
Time of Thanksgiving

After having devoted so much OF
our time to bemoaning the misfortunes
that have come to us as people dur
ing the past year, it will do us good
on this Thanksgiving day to stop and
look at the other side of the ledger
and cast up the account of the good
things that have come to us.
Our situation admittedly has not
been as favorable in many respects as
we could desire. We have had prob
lens and difficulties which naturally
aroused dissatisfaction and discomfort.
We have been feeling mighty sorry
for ourselves.
Perhaps Thanksgiving occasion could
bring no greater blessing to us as a
people than to readjust our perspec-
tive and displace pesslmism with a
new spirit of optimism.
Before we enter into the true spirit
Of the day 1t is necessary to put away
our hatreds, our grouches and discon-
tents and center our thoughts upon
the blessings that have come. If one
would give thanks he must realize the
fact Of having been blessed, and in
doing so he minimizes the misfortunes
he has experienced. The pessimist is
in no position to give thanks. The
spirit Of optimism will possess US to
the extent that we are able to give
thanks In spirit and in truth to the
Oliver Of All Good Gifts today.
For the fact remains that, in spite
Of our difficulties, we are the most
prosperous and the most favorably sit
uated nation on the earth and that
we have more reasons for contentment
and gratitude than any other people.
This Thanksgiving day, if observed
In the spirit Of those who inaugurated
it, is capable of lifting the spirit and
thought of the American people to new
heights and Of ushering in new era
of contentment and happiness.
Thanksgiving day comes to mean
today not only an occasion when we
may express our gratitude to the Most
High for His care and kindness in the
past, but likewise time when by
our blessings before us we
are inspired with new hope and cour-
age for the future.

self Before Locating.

In the opinion of one who has given
much thought to the question of civic
bctterment along various lines, the
following points should be settled to
his satisfaction before decision to
make a home in any town is definitely
arrived at:
Living-Can we live reasonably and
well in that town? Are the best of
modern conveniences available for its
misunderstanding gas, telephone,
etc.? Are the housing and shopping
conditions favorable? Rents, taxes,
and prices fair? Hotels good? Home
and truck gardens and dairy products
plentiful?
Accessibility-Can we go and come
easily? Does the town have adequate
railroad connections and train serv-
ice? Street car linesa Interurban
lines? Well-marked automobile routes
and hard-surface roads?
Business-Can l make good use of
capital in that town? Are there bank
ing facilities? Manufacturing inter-
ests? Up to date stores? Good ship
ping facilities? Favorable labor con-
ditions? A prosperous farming ter
ritory? Active cooperation among
business interests?
Employment-Can 1 get a Job in
that town at fair pay and with good
prospects for the future? Can count
on cooperation from organizations
making it their business to help in
troduce and establish new commercial
interests and to welcome new cit
liens?

DO YOU remember the simple story

greatness and goodness that came TO
you as your chubby fingers drew de-

grim fathers on the school blackboard?
1t was in 1921, the fall following

grims celebrated the first Thanksgiv-
ing day. The little colony, one hun
dred and two souls who had Jared
westward from England for their con-
sciences sake, had weathered the
storms of the Atlantic and the worse
hardships Of a New England winter,
and they had won through at last

speaking.
Back from the rocky cOastline Of
Massachusetts, with its thunder Of
limitless waves, little group of log
houses crowded together behind the
tall stOckade, feeling safe in their

Garnered corn filled the barns and
the stOrerooms of the houses were
pungent with ripe apples. The colony

Thanksgiving Should Mean
More Than Mere Feeling
of Gratitude for Fav0rs

1t is to be regretted that the beauti
full and appropriate custom Of observ'
ing day of Thanksgiving has become
associated with an abundance of mate
rial things. If crops have been bounti
full, If the harvest has been great, If
there has been an overflow of the
"good" things Of earth, and If the
times have been peaceful, reasons for
thanksgiving are supposed to increase
correspondence.
There is something in the outward
tradition of Thanksgiving that would
appear to justify this stressing Of the
Importance Of material things; but
there is also something in the real
Thanksgiving that would demand the
stressing of other things, demand the
placing of emphasis upon spiritual
matters rather than upon conditions
which pertain solely to the physical
we'll being Of man.
The real Thanksgiving demands a
feeling Of deep appreciation for what
ever has come, the acceptance "with
equal thanks" Of the good fortune or
the bad fortune Of previous months.
This Thanksgiving is essentially an in
ternal thing-it can be observed re-
CARELESS of what one had for dinner
that day, and it's observance is all
affair that should be open to the rich
and the poor of the earth.
1t may well be that some, on this
day Of taking stock and expressing
gratitude for blessings, can find little
Of good that has come to them as the
world counts good. But these are the
ones for whom Thanksgiving may hold
the deepest reality. These may say
Lord, for life, it's love. it's hope, its
interest, its opportunity for service;
for the great and durable satisfactions
of living that center about home and
work; for deep and abiding memories
Of Joy that bereavement has brought
into sharp relief; for all these bless
ings may be truly thankful"
To this prayer may be added by
those in prosperity:
"Apd may I be mindful lest in the
excess Of good things I become self
sentered and forget my obligations to
my fellow men,"

Cranberries Always Have
Played Prominent Part
at Thanksgiving Feast

It is a tradition in Plymouth that
the eating of turkey and cranberry
sauce on Thanksgiving day goes back
to the first Pilgrim Thanksgiving.
That little band of self-eXiled, de
voted Christians crossed the stormy
sea in the Mayhower and landed al
Plymouth Rock on December q, 1920
Their first winter in the New World
was one of great suffering. marked
with famine and hardships.
Governor Bradford, in his account
of the Pilgrims first Thanksgiving
does not give menu Of the dinner
but he often refers to the wild tur-
keys as one Of the luxuries of the
colony. However, John Joss1yn, an
English traveller and naturalist, who
visited New England in 1888 and wrote
an account Of its "Rarities," says
"Cranberry or bearberry (because
bears used much to feed upon them)
is a small trayling plant that grows
in salt marshes that are overgrown
with moss. The Indians and English
use them much, boiling them with su-
gar for sauce to eat with their meat"
That cranberries belong to the ira
ditional Pilgrim dinner is shown by
the menu Of the "decent repast" served
at the first celebration Of the Land
ing of Our Forefathers," which was
observed on December q, 1869. This
day was celebrated by the Old Colony
club Of Plymouth with a procession
and dinner consisting Of a large
baked Indian whortleberry pudding, a
dish Of sauquetach (succetash), dish
OF clans, dish of oysters and a dish
of Goldfish, haunch Of venison, roasted
by the first jack brought into the col.
Ony; dish of fowl, cranberry tarts
dish of fresh fish and cells, an apple
pie, course Of cheese made in the
old colony. These articles were
dressed in the plainest manner Gall
appearance Of luxury, whose memory
we shall ever respect).
Turkey, succotash and cranberries
still play their part in the Thanks
giving dinners in Plymouth, and five
grains Of parched corn are laid beside
each place In remembrance of the ear
ly years of famine.

vout Puritan spirit of the travellers in
the Maylower felt that there was
sufficient cause for thanking God.
The First Thanksgiving.
And so it was that the first day OF
organized thanksgiving was set. The
whole little colony, in its best bucliled
shoes and high hats. with blunder
busses across square shoulders, sailed
forth from the stockaded homes
through snow to the log church, there
to give community thanks for the free
dom of their stern lives
Outside, the Indians crouched be-
hind the frs and beeches, watching
and wondering.
From the Pilgrim colony, the custom
spread to others in the New England
states. In 1890 the Massachusetts Bay
colony set aside a day for thanksgiv-
ing, and frequently thereafter until
1880. when it became an annual fest-
val in the colony.
Connecticut appointed day in
1850, and annually after 1G47, except
in 1875. The Dutch in New Neither
lands set aside day in 1914 and oc-
casionally thereafter. During the War
Of Independence the Continental con-
gress appointed one or more thanks
giving days each year, except in 1777
President Washington set aside Thurs
day, Nov. g. 1889, as day of ma
tional thanks. and again in 1895 he
called the country together for such
a celebration. President Madison, at
the close Of the War of 1912, appointed
day.
In New York state, from 1917 on,
the festival was annual.
In some of the southern states a ma
tiOnal Thanksgiving day met with op-
position as relic Of Puritanic bigotry,
SO utterly at variance with the Cav
alier ideals of the southern colonists !;
but by 1858 proclamations were issued
by the governors of % states and two
territories.
Is New England Festival.
Perhaps 1t is natural that the South,
so far in thought and experience from
the colonizers of New England, should,
even yet be less whole-hearted in it's
celebration Of Thanksgiving than is
the eastern section Of the United
States. With its commemoration of
hardships of 1920, with it's ceremonies
of the harvest, Thanksgiving is essen
tally New England festival. And to
see 1t truly carried out, you must see
it there.
In Massachusetts. it Is the signal
for great family reunions. From Cali
fornia, from the high seas, from the
neighboring town, the sons and daugf-
tiers and cousins and aunts and uncles
foregather at the old homestead on
Thanksgiving day. With the first
snowfall of the season, generally
scheduled for the last week in Novem-
Der. the rOOmy sleighs and the vast
bearskin rugs are hauled out of their
summer mothballs; and from early
morning until noon. there is gay

between the railroad station and the
farmhouse.
After the dinner-a tremendous af-
i'air-the old people sit half doing
about the open fires, telling stories of
the New England that is gone.

The small town as potential In
