AGED WORKERS ARE MANY

It must have occurred 10 many observing citizens that the number of aged workers employed in the plants of New Britain are many. Upon countless occasions within the past few years stories have appear cd in the newspapers that Soandso has been with one Of the local plants for more than half a century. Nir- tually all the plants have workers on pension rolls In many cases employ mcnt continues until death at ripe age.
 This does not look as if there is dead line Of consequence in local in- dustry. Men are in the employ of the local factories who are far past the ages one reads about as being the line after which employment is diff ficult.
 There was Edward Morton North. for instance. who died yesterday. He was in his 79th year and still at work. Indeed, he had been with the Russell x Irwin Manufacturing com- pany for 62 years. Such a record is hard to surpass. Yet other factories in New Britain have many other men in their employ who have been fixtures about the premises for a half century or more.
 Ii there is any rule which such records indicate as existing it must be that loyal workers are well cared for regardless of their age and con- dition of service. It is a humani- tartan system that is wholesome in it's effects and one earning the thor ough appreciation of the men who have given their lives to factory em- ploymcnt.
 The plants Of New Britain think well of the aged who have been in their employ for many years. They are always, we understand, protect ed regardless of turns in the condi- tion of industry. That is a civilized motive and as it should be. The sys- tenn of sticking by the aged workers is one that should merit unstinted admiration. Not many cities, we are sure, can show so large proportion of these as is the case in New Britain.

ANYWAY, WE'RE THANKFUL

When the Pilgrims inaugurated a day of thanks they probably felt somewhat like many citizens feel to- day. The Pilgrims were moved to give thanks to the Creator for hay ing survived; but the future was un- settled. Many citizens today labor under similar handicaps; they are moved by the prevailing spirit of thankfulness and would willingly take part, but having some of their material desires unfulfilled, are ln- ,lined to be interested only passive in this business of giving thanks.
 AS our religious mentors tell us, we 10 not usually receive everything we wish for and a certain quantity of disappointment is sure to accompany most endeayors in life. The hand of he Almighty even withholds some of the things we pray for. thus teaching us forbearance, patience and stimulating hope and faith.
 There is no need to rehearse re- cent occurrences which for many dampen their spirit of thankfulness. Matters could have been so different had they enjoyed better luck! In which case they would have been ever so much more thankful, and the turkey would have had more savor. In reality they are merely disap- pointed that they guessed wrong in the stock market, and perhaps they might be thankful for the experience, which at least continues to teach it's valuable lessons
 The man who is out Of work IS The most difficult individual of all to convince he is justified in sharing the universal thanksgiving spirit. He is inclined to think that this spirit is for the other fellow. Perhaps such a one can be thankful for the sym- pathy being manifested and aroused by our mayor. but of course, one cannot live on sympathy. Or he can be thankful that perhaps the dark clouds may take on a silvery sheen earlier than anyone expects. Much good is sure to come as a result Of the programs being evolved to im- prove the land through more en- deavors. That at least is something tangible-that the situation is not being allowed to drift.
 Most of us must remain thankful that the fortunate Americans re- main far in the majority. This coun- try still remains prosperous and great. with future that dcfies the imagination. The fundamentals of trade, commerce and industry re- main sound and enormous activity IS just around the corner. Which con- stitutes the sum total of material things to be thankful about.

Throughout the night it will appear to turn slowly about the pole, and if it could be seen about a. m. it would appear upside down. above the pole star.

and 10 forget that which distresses. This in the final analysis is not an extremely difficult task. Some of us may have more to forget than others, but slight effort, even for one day, will unquestionably bring that degree of happiness which all can afford. That's what the Pilgrims did and they have been universally regarded as having set a good ex- ample.

 With women who are wild and wooly; A smash-up is his foremost striving; Arrests are what he craves most fully. Hes very bold and very gay

cording to figures given out this

Trunk Route Established
April l on Highway Maps
New Road, Known as No. ~, Con-
meets Bemidji and Baudette
More Direct Route

"A new trunk highway, T. H. No.
II, will be marked and maintain
ed by the Minnesota Highway de-
partment after April 1 and will
be shown on the maps and road
condition reports issued by the
department. 1t connects Bemidji
and Baudette.
The constitution provides that
when a new county is created, the
legislature is authorized to add to
the trunk highway system such
routes as are necessary to connect
the new county seat with other
county seats and other points in
the state. After Lake of the
Woods county had been created,
the 1925 legislature passed a law
providing for trunk highway be-
tween Baudette and Bemidji, but
the route described was not a di-
rect route and part of the distance
there was no road at all. The State
Highway department felt that it
could not spare the funds to build
"a road over the route described.
The present legislature amended
this law so as to provide a more
direct route, using a state aid
road which can be maintained as a
trunk highway until permanent
improvements can be made. The
route follows T. III. No. from Be
midi to Blackjack, then goes north
through Kelliher and WIashkish to
junction with T. H. No. II near
Baudette.

RETURN FROM WEST

DR.. and Mrs. H. F. Henneman
DIR. G. j. Henneman and Mrs. C.
E. Henneman returned Friday eve.
ming from Los Angeles, CAL, where
they spent most pleasant winter.
They lived in DR.. G.. j. Henneman's
home at Burbank, a suburb of Los
Angeles. The return trip was
made by motor and took them over
the southern route, by the way OF
Ell Paso, and Dallas, Texas. They
found the roads very good most OF
the way, with considerable pave
ment. Some mud was encountered
in Oklahoma. The entire trip
from California to Texas was made
along the border, and although a
revolution is in progress across the
line, there was no fighting at that
time. "A few days before their ar
rival at ElPaso, March 21, stray
bullets killed several people on this
side. Mexicans in the country
show keen interest in the battle in
their home country and seem to be
very much satisfied that they en-
joy the protection of Old Glory
They saw many of the former Sank
Centreites at Glendale and other
parts of California and altogether
enjoyed most pleasant winter.
