DITORIAL
HOW THANKFUL ARE WE?

This is Thanksgiving Week. The President of the
United States and the governor of New Jersey, following their
usual custom, have issued proclamations calling upon the peo-
pie to give thanks to Almighty God for the blessings they have
received during the past year And we all have a great deal to
be thankful for in spite of the vicisstudes of life. When we
consider the world at large we here in America, surely have
good reason to rejoice and be thankful.
But Just how thankful are we? Is our day of thanks
giving to be only a Formally? Has the occasion no deeper
meaning than merely to eat turkey and pumpkin pie and make
merry at the family homecoming?
To make the day well worth while and to show our ap-
probation for the blessings of the year we should do some
thing substantial, something that might require a little sacri-
flee or ~self-denial, maybe, in order that we may actually feel
the thanksgiving spirit.
We have an excellent opportunity to do this this year.
An appeal is being made in behalf of the Home for the Aged.
A more fitting time for such a campaign could not have been

for himself or herself, goes back to the old home and recalls

And there is the "old folks home in Rector street that
needs our assistance right now. Doubtless this week many OF
the inmates will recall the Thanksglvlngs OF long ago wnee

What kind of a Thanksgiving is it going to be for them!
Is it going to be a real Thanksgiving Day or are we going to
leave them in doubt as to whether or not this Home Will be IN
existence another year?
It is a serious proposition that contronts us. Wnat are
we. at this Thanksgiving season, going to do for the Home for
the Aged? m
We are told to give as the Lord has prospered us. sure
w we can all afford something for a cause so worthy as TINS.
Between five and six thousand dollars are needed TO
maintain this home through the coming year. There is to be

once the need is known, the true Perth Amboy, spirit Will
manifest itself.
