GRAND THANKSGIVING BALL TONIGHT
Cause for Thanksgiving

Among cherished American traditions, Thanks giving Day vies with Christmas in it's relations to spiritual significance being expressive of the second epochal event having to do with national and spiritual genesis. It came to us heritage of those sturdy souls the Pilgrim fathers, like unto our pioneer Alaskans, who stepped ashore in the great wilderness that was and there began the bat tie with nature which found it's friton in the great American republic.
 It was but natural that these pious folk should celebrate the first harvest on American soll with devOut thanksgiving to the Giver of All Things One can picture them, back in 1921, gathered about the festive board on which the wild turkey served as the bounteous meal and which was surrounded by such luxuries the pioneers had wrested from the soil. Like our own Alaska, crudity predominated in the humble log cabins, the first seeds of what have become-and will come to us-great cities, pull satng under the throb of modern genius and sci ence
 Inspired by the same thought, General George Washington, in 1787, issued the first Thanksgiving proclamation in the city of New York, setting Mo- vember 26, as day of festival following second great epoch in the nations history the emergence of the young republic capable of holding it's own in the concert of nations.
 Again came the great enancipator, Abraham Lincoln, who in October, 1863 issued the first na- tonal proclamation setting aside the last Thursday in November national holiday, to be observed in giving thanks for the blessings which came when ld0C LII Clle 1cLudl OI Was Wlpeu from the escutcheon of the nation.
 If there was cause for thanksgiving in those dark days, how much greater must the thought be in this age when mankind has at his fingers end so many blessings of which pioneer ancestors knew not.
 Today we celebrate the harvest of many good things, even if there are those lacking which are now enjoyed by others in the settled communi- ties. But when comes to mediate, 1t is debat- able if our Thanksgiving does not more nearly ap- proach the spirit in which the day saw birth than in any other portion of the land.
