Thanksgiving day Is the oldest Of
American national festivities. Inde-
pendence day, though coeval with and
commemorative Of our national natal
day, boasts only q respectable antiq-
uity Of century and half, but an
other century ar half must be add
ed to carry us backward to the his
torical origin Of the day that we have
nationally dedicated to prayer and
thanksgiving-to the days of bluff
Governor Bradford and to the first
struggling colony Of heroic pilgrims.
1t was In this cradle of our common
wealth that the observance Of a day
OF thanks was first nurtured on our
soil, though its inspiration was
brought from lands across the seas
and probably threaded human history
back to the plains Of Palestine when
the psalmists of Israel praised the
Lord In song for the bounties of
earth.
First Thanksgiving.
Benjamin Franklin tells US that, In
time Of great dependency among
the first settlers of New England, 1t
was proposed in one Of their public
meetings to proclaim fast An aged
farmer arose and spoke of their pro-
voking Heaven With their compliments
and Of the many mercies they
had already received and Of the many
causes they had for thanksgiving. He
then made motion that instead of
appointing a day Of fasting, they
should appoint day of thanksgiving.
To this the assembly agreed.
The first Thanksgiving day was kept
amid circumstances most unpropitious
and with gaunt famine lowering over
the rude and cheerless dwellings Of
that little colony. The summer of
1921, following the landing at Ply.
mouth, yielded but scanty harvest
and unless speedy supplies came from
Europe the sturdy Colonists foresaw
that they would be reduced TO the
point Of starvation. Yet, amid such
surroundings as these, we learn from
the old chronicles that Governor Brad
ford, 1.-The harvest being gotten In,
sent four men out on fowIing, so that

gathered the fruits OF our labors .
And thus,
While sickness iurked and death as

stituted the American Harvest Home
and celebrated the first New England
Thanksgiving day.
Many Thankful" Days.
The old Colonial records also tell of
the appointment of Thanksgiving
days, for various causes, In the Mas
sachusetts Bay colony, In the years
1888, 1884, 1887, 1888 and 1889. In
Plymouth colony similar publicly de-
clared observances took place In 1851,
1868, and In 1880, when the tenor Of
the proclamation seems to indicate
that 1t had then become a settled
yearly custom.
The Massachusetts Bay colony was
the first to appoint an annual Thanks
giving day by the proclamation OF the
English governor. During the Revolu-
lion, Thanksgiving day became a ma
donal American institution, being an
aually recommended by congress, but
after the general thanksgiving for
naaoa in 17Sd thora was no national
appointment until 1889, when Wash

EMPLOYMENT
OF WHITE GIRLS
By Chinese is Forbidden In
Ontario

Montreal U. L. N. S.)-Employ-
ment of white girls by Chinese is now
illegal in Ontario, a condition which
if enforced in some other Canadian
provinces would upset numerous Chi
nese restaurants and give the Greeks
a decided advantage in the war for
the control of various classes of res
taurants.
The factory, shop and office build
ing act of Ontario was amended in
1914 by the addition of the following
section:
1912. No Chinese person shall en-
ploy in any capacity or have under
his direction or control any female
person in any factory, restaurant or
laundry"
This was to be put into effect by
proclamation which has only recently
been done.
In Montreal there are numerous
Chinese restaurants employing white
girls. There are girls who say the
Chinese are better employers than
some other foreigners running restau-
rants, not to say some native employ
ers also.
"a Chinese boss never told me I'd
have to go out with him for monkey
business to hold my job, as lot of
others have done," said a pretty
French Canadian waitress. "The
Chinks don't expect you to work after
Z or p. m. They're wise enough to
fear some of the social reformers
might get busy"
