BY virtue of it's humble origin
back in colonial times when piety
and plain living fostered a grateful
spirit and by presidential proclama-
tion and the practise of custom
that has long been established the
American people will on Thanksgiv-

pause in business and all avocations
and turn their thoughts to present
blessings and the gifts that come
from the realm of nature in the form
of clothing, food, shelter and other
material bounties.
