Cranberries Always Have
 Played Prominent Part
 at Thanksgiving Feast

It is 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 Mayfiower and landed at Plymouth Rock on December 21, 1920 Their first winter in sthe 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 Josslyn, 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 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 tra- ditional Pilgrim dinner Is shown by the menu of the decent repast'' served at the first celebration of the Land jag of Our Forefathers." which was observed on December 9, 1769. This day was celebrated by the Old Colony club of Plymouth with procession ;lnd dinner consisting of a large baked Indian whortleberry pudding, a dish of sauQuetach (succOtash), dish of clans, dish of oysters and a dish of codfish, haunch of venison, roasted by the first jack brought into the col ony; disn of fowl, cranberry tarts, dish of fresh fish and eels, 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 resbect).
 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 plaeA in remembrance of the ear ly years of famine.

ANNE WALLACE MARRIED

Aagain has a Lochinvar ridden into our midst, seized the maiden of his choice and made a successful getaway. Ed Cole of Cooley is the
 rcky man this time. Miss Wallace and MT. Cole appeared before the clerk of court, got their license and repaired to the Wallace home. Rev. Tank R. Speck was called upon to join the happy couple in the holy bonds of matrimony. Other than the immediate family, it was intended to keep the wedding Q quiet one, but some of the boys who were loading at the stock yards found little bird that told the secret. The only person of whom we can think that would call it quiet after that might be Helen Kelleg
 After the wedding ceremony, de- licious supper was served, the we'd ding cake was cut and distributed.
 MT. and Mrs. Cole left the same eyering, Tuesday, and after a short honeymoon in and near Flagstaff, after which they will reside at the groom's home To them we extend our sincere good wishes for long and happy married life

BATICK


 Walter Bruce, one of the fore most batick workers in the United States today, was directly respon- sible for J. w Plants artistry in this line of work
 A word of explanation here may prNye timely Batick work is a process of dyeing silks by hand in numerous colors. Duplication of any of this work is impossible, more particularly where the work, as is Plants, is well executed. The art has been, for many centuries, prac- tiseds by the natives of the South Sea islands, their dyes being derived from herbs which they gather, and from which tey brew te colors. The Japanese also ave worked in this strange art foh centuries, in fact some of the finest examples of the work extant are known in Japanese batick.
 Perusal f the advertisement in another column will undoubtedly make you want to see some examples of MT. Plants wrk. a view will probably make you wish to own at least one blouse of this kind.

ASSIST OUR POSTAL SYSTEM

The pcstoffice always needs your assistance, but in one particular especially, just at this time.
 During the holiday season large quantities of very small envelopes and cards are put into the mails with the result that all postal work is very much retarded and mai dis. figured and mutilated4
 This is not generally known to the public and we want you to help us to d a little education. The mini. mum size of cards and envelopes should not be below ?. 3-4 by4 in ches for the Allowing reasons:
 l. Addresses will be obliterated by cancellatin mark. ?. Too small to be run through facing table, necessitating three ex- tra handlings with consequent de lay not only to this but other mail. 3. Delay in cancellation because of awkwardness in putting thrugh cancellation machines.
 4. Delay through difficulty in sorting.
 5. Liability to loss or damage as small sizes do not fit letter pack ages and cannot be tied securely. These odd and diminutive sized pieces of stationery have come into use in the past fSw years and only appear now in any quantities at Christmas time when the whole pos tai institution is keyedi up to top speed and trying to keep on top of the load
 We will greatly appreciate, there fore, your cooperation in helping us to get the pubic to use stationery of the proper size in, order that the handling of all mails may be expe- dited.

WINSLOW.HOLBROOK
 FOOTBALL GAME

The Winslow team was so thoroughly outclassed that our boys did not have to exert themselves very strenuuosly. It seemed that any time we wanted a score, the boys made it for us. The game was rough in spots, several chances for standup and knock down battle developed but fortunately one or the other of the disputants came to his senses before any blows were struck. Quite unjustly, the Indians made several complaints regarding Arthur Schuste's decisions. No one could have been moe fair. In fact, Art tried hard to be straight that he sometimes leaned backward to the detriment of the Holbrook team The umpire, Mr. Brannigan, had few reasons for dealing any pen alties; seveal warnings were given but he also was eminently fair.
 Winslow won the toss and elected to receive. From this moment the game was entirely in Holbrooks hands. Try as they might, the In- any gains. Their fourth down was always a punt signal, and the re- carry the pigskin in within short kick was made. Craig, Engle, T.. Hathorne, Lowery and Glenn were the shining lights for the county seat team. Craig on interference was especially good. Those of the Hi boy who were frtunate enough to see the game undoubtedly picked up some first hand information as to how guard should play his po- sition. Lowery's habit of shooting around the end, or through the hole made by Craig, was an eye-opener fo those who have not before seen him play. We learned long ago to look for a sterling game from T. Hathorne, and that's what we got. Engle was especially effective n open field work, and Glenn tackled as though he did not have much use for his opponents necks.
 The three unconverted goals were disappointment, but lack of prac- tise accounts for this. Unfortunate ly, the season is nearly at an end that we are not to have many more chances to see the boys in action, but the game put up by our team was s good that no one wille want to miss the next one.

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

After having devoted so much of our time to bemoaning the misfSrtunes 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 lems and difficulties which naturally aroused dissatisfaction and discontent. We have been feeling mighty sorry for ourselves.
 Perhaps Thanksgiving occasion could bring no greater blessing to us as . people than to readjust our perspec- tive and displace pessimism 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 Giver 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 a 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 a time when by marshaling our blessings before us we are inspired with new hope and cour- age for the future.

Thanksgiving Should Mean More Than Mere Feeling
 of Gratitude for Favors

It is to be regretted that the beauti- ful and appropriate custom of obsery- ing a day of Thanksgiving has become associated with an abundance of mate rial things. If crops have been bOuntt fu, 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 correspondlngly.
 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 well 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- gardless of what one had for dinner that day, and its observance is aH affair that should be open to the rich and the poor of the earth.
 It 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, its love, its hope, it's 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 I be truly thankful"
 To this prayer may 5e added by those in prosperity:
 And may I be mindful lest in the excess of good things become self centered and forget my obligations to my fellow men,"

WOMAN'S CLUB ORGANIZED

Mrs. McMullen of Flag staff was in Holbrook last week and assisted in the formation of a Womans' Club. The meeting was called at the home of Mrs. Lloyd c. Henning with fif- teen women present. Dur ing the afternoon the 0rgani- zation was perfected and officers for the club were elected:
 President. Mrs. Jess Hu- let; Vice President, Mrs. L. Caldwell; Treasurer, Mrs. W. B. Woods; Secretary, Mrs. Farr; Chmn. Press Comm, Mrs. c. H. Jordan; Program Committee, Mrs. James Scorse; Chmn. Civic, Mrs. L. c. Henning.
 The club plans to have a membership drive soon and begs that all the ladies of Holbrook will give this mat ter their earnest considera- tion. The work of Women clubs in the United States has proven of such value that it stands in no need of special eulogy in these col umns.
 The subjects which will meet with consideration on the clubs next meeting, De cember 9th will be in regard to the exact field the club work will first embrace. At the first meeting it was vot- ed to join the Northern Fed eration of Clubs and thus ally themselves with the state wide organization. All women are cordially invited to avail themselves of the privilege of membership in this club. The meetings will probably be held in the Girls Friendly building.
