MORE ON TUMULTYS WILSON

The Tumulty history of Woodrow
Wilson as I Have Known Him" is fast
drawing to conclusion. 1t cannot be
said to have pleased every one, but in
the main the work is highly interest
ing and valuable in the things it con-
tributes to the worlds knowledge that
were not known before. In fact, many
new sides of the ex-Presidents char
acter are revealed and many false inn
pressions that had been gained about
him have been shattered-his aloof-
ness, for one thing, and his exclusive
ness another-on which the world
held imperfect impressions. The great
trouble and drawback with Mr.. VIII
son was that he was a tremendous
worker, had huge program working
overtime, and the war coming on gave
him little or no time in which to be
much of social card. But Mr.. Tum-
ulty is showing Wilson's genius and
real greatness all through his book,
and it stands to reason that much of
it will be trusted, for the source of his
information must be conSidered-hrst
hand At any rate, the Tumulty book
clears up many unsettled questions,
but he never got as far as saying that
President Wilson ever had a boss.

THANK SEWING

The first white settlers in this coun-
try were the Pilgrims. They arrived
here in the year 1920. They came from
England on a vessel called the May
flower Among them were many
brave men, such as John CARVER, Will
liam Brewster, William Bradford and
a soldier named Miles Standish. When
they arrived here they met some In
dams, who became good friends, with
the Pilgrims. These Indians taught
the Pilgrims to plant corn, peas and
barley. Unlike many people, they did
not forget their friends. They set aside
one day for Thanksgiving and invited
a lot of Indians. The Pilgrims them
selves had sent men out to seek wild
turkeys, and from this happy beginning
has grown our national custom of CIV
ing thanksgiving in the fall of each
year. MAUD WILLIAMS,
Fifth Grade, Palisade School.

Thanksgiving Game
On Tomorrow

Dame Nature scored several touch
downs with her rain torrents on We'd
nesday evening and Thanksgiving
morning. She scored, rather poured,
so many gallons, not touch-downs,
that the captains of both the Million
aires and Trenicores teams thought it
best to postpone the annual local
classic until Sunday, not only because
of the terrible conditions of the play
ing field, but the ill effects on the
many fans who are sure to watch the
game.
The game has been set for Sunday,
tomorrow afternoon, at three o'clock
and will be played on the .Cliffside
Park High School Athletic Field. No
matter whether or not it rains, SHOWS
or the sun is shining, the first kick
off will be made at exactly three
o'clock. There will be no delays as
both teams will take the field in uni
form at two-thirty.
Erwin Goemann will referee, Ken
meth Greenleaf will umpire and
James Whelan will be head linesman.

Soul Mates Coming
To Cliffside High

The coming play, "Soul Mates" to
be given on December 3 in the Cliffside
Park High School by the Morningside
Players of Columbia University, is an
ticipated by many with great interest,
especially by those residents who saw
in 1916 at the Comedy Theater, in New
York, their wonderful production Of
''The Iron Cross" by Elmer Rice, au-
thor of "On Trial." and last year
again saw the same group presenting
"The Age of Reason" by Hatcher
Hughes, author of Mrs. Fiskes play,
wake Up, Jonathan" for they have
most creditably given these two long
plays by these successful playwrights,
as well as number of shorter ones,
and they are now coming over from
New York to present the farce come
interest is aroused because it is writ
ten by local resident, Marjorie Sam
mis- of Edgewater Heights Park.
This is her second play to be pre-
sented before the public within few
months, the first one being 1.-The Night
Bird" given at the Plaza Hotel, in
New York, last spring.
Miss Marjorie Sammis has acted
with the Columbia Players in New
York and has also taken part in a
number of plays given by the Grant
wood Comedy Club, taking varied char
acters, the latest being that of "Gran-
ny and the Girl She Might Have Been"
in 1.-THE Threshold which held the
audience in intense interest through
out last spring at the GrantwoOd The
alter.
1t is of interest to note that the
writer of that play, Mrs. Macauley, is
also the director of the Columbia Play
ers, which numbers three professional
players in it's company
The play itself is humorous, with
sufficient audacious touches and COM
zeal situations to make full evening
of pleasure, with the effective pres
entation and stage setting, which can
be enjoyed for the very moderate sum
of 80 cents, rendering possible for
many residents a delightful treat for
out of town friends or relatives, and
this will further aid the clubhouse
fund of the Woman's Club of Cliffside
Park, house which will prove to be a
distinct borough asset in the near fu-
ture.

1921 THANKSGIVING

Whilst Thanksgiving for 1921 is not
quite of that extravagant kind the
world had in 1918, at the same time
the present year brings much we can
appreciate and for which we may
render thanks. AS country, ours
has been greatly blessed. We have
had ample prosperity though the past
few months have been more or less
cramped as good times go. In reality
we have not suffered seriously from
the short depression. AS a country we
are still the most wonderful in the
world. We have so much more than
any other nation. We have absolute
freedom, free schools, the best of
other educational advantages and
comparatively little suffering from
actual want. Then we have an I'M
corrupted government, no starvation
that is common in other lands. Our
people are active and always occu-
pied at something; we make millions
and save them as well as spend them.
Our charities are larger than any
other nation ever had. Our people are
progressive, yet safe from aggression,
for no other country wants to fight
Uncle Sam; we are so big we can
not count or even estimate our wealth,
and through all of its garnering we
have never lost our head. After all
the great thing for which we ought
to be most thankful is that America
has heart that beats for humanity.

On the eve of our "Thank-you-day"
a thrill passes over the earth both on
man and beast. The wind rustled
through the fields of amber, while an
orange moon swung low. Yellow pump
kins chung to the lying vines and ruddy
apples lay covering the ground. The
hay was stacked and the nuts were
stored, while the farmers stood proud
ly looking upon their fields with sue
cess.

ANOTHER ASPIRANT FOR GOV
ERNOR

New Jersey has new candidate
for Governor. Thomas l.. Raymond,
Street Commissioner of Newark, is the
unfortunate man-unfortunate, be-
cause he has real fight on his hands
to beat Senator Mackay, and also be-
cause no new candidate ever had a
bed of roses. There is going to be a
stable scramble for this honor that
is now sought by Mr. Raymond. AL
ready there is oozing forth from the
usual sources in Newark lot of
propaganda about Raymond, and if
only one 1.-THE of it may be believed,
there is simply only ONE Mr.. Ray
mond. And that ought to settle it
only it does not. Candidate Raymond
may be all that he is painted, and no
one would deny him this honor. BUT
and thereby hangs a very long tale.
He has many obstacles to overcome
before he lands in Trenton. From
statements made of him, he must
have had easy sailing in his rise in
the Newark political arena. He and
his record walked right over other
candidates, including Democrats, and
is now being polished for still
higher post because he seems to have
the knack Of "getting there" How
nice it all sounds. Maybe he has not
thought about Atlantic City-and,
maybe he has. If he is a good poll
tician he has. Down there at Atlantic
CITY rests a man who at this time
holds the political fortunes of New

AN INDIAN THANKSGIVING

An Indian THANKSGIVING
Was spent in just this way,
With every kind Of feasting
Upon Thanksgiving Day.
The Pilgrims asked the Indians
To come and have feast;
The Indians thanked the Spirit
For the care of man and beast.
The Pilgrims thanked the Indians
For giving them some food.
To God the Pilgrims gave their thanks
For making their crops SO good.
Poem Written by Third Grade, Pail
SADIE School.
Palisadian. [volume] (Cliffside Park, N.J.) 1906-current, 1921-11-26
THE ORIGIN OF THANKSGIVING

The landing of the Pilgrims is best
described in Mrs. Felicia Hemans
poem, 1.-THE Pilgrims Chorus"
"The breaking waves dashed high
On the stern and rock-bound coast;
And the woods against stormy sky
Their giant branches tossed,
And the heavy night hung dark
The hills and waters DER,
When band of exiles moored their
bark
On the wild New England Shore"
In order to understand why the pill
grims left their homes to exile we
must understand the religion of Eng
land and note the various divisions
into which the protestants of England
were divided.
Many of the Protestants were men,
bers of the Church of England, which
was approved of and supported by the,
government. large number of Prot
estants were opposed in some respects
to the church and wished to purify it.
They were called the Puritans.
In addition to the Puritans, there
was another body of Protestants who
thought the task of purifying the
church was hopeless one, and there
fore were determined to separate from
it. They were called Separatists, or
Independents. Phis did not please
King Charles, then ruler of England.
He said: 81 will make them conform,
or drive them from the land" So this
is what drove hundreds of people to
the bleak coasts of New England.
Before going to the cold, gray shores
of New England they went to Holland
to see if there they could find re-
ligious freedom. They found it there,
but were not contented. Their chill
dren were slowly adopting the ways
of the Dutch, and they did not like
this, because at heart they were Eng
lishmen and loved the English Ian
guage.
AS they could not go back to Eng
colony near the present location of
New Jersey.
SO they set out on the Mayfiower
in 1920 on an historic voyage. On No
vember 81, 1920, the Pilgrims landed
at Plymouth, but before they landed
they gathered in the cabin of their
ship and signed the famous "Mayfiower
Compact"
Building homes on the coast of New
England in mid-winter was not an easy
task. Sickness broke out, and at one
time only seven were well enough to
work. When spring came, one-half of
them were gone, never to return.
When the Mayflower returned to
England not one Pilgrim went with
her. They planted crops and built
other homes and prepared for another
winter When the harvest had been
gathered they appointed a day for
prayer and thanksgiving
There was baking and cooking, and
everybody was busy. The Indians
We're invited and brought wild ducks
and turkeys as their share of the big
dinner.
So this is the story of those brave
and hearty Pilgrims who came to this
country to seek the freedom to wor-
ship God and not gold and wealth.
They got what they wanted and left
us this wonderful country for which
we thank God every November.
