them ill-prepared for the severe New England weather. In February, 1881, the governor, who had put the last batch of bread into the oven and had given the last meal in his barrel to a starving eomrado, appointed a day of humiliation, fasting and prayer.
 A Sail Seen
 Suddenly a sail was seen; ship came up the harhor bringing the long delayed supplies from England. Win throp tells us in his diary, "We held q day of thanksgiving for this ships arrival. by order of the governor and council. directed to all the planta- tions.n That was in February, 1881. It was the first Thanksgiving Day in New England.
 In accordance with the custom in nuRurated by Massachusetts and now followed by the Nation and each state of the Union. the governor appoints the last Thnraday of November as q day of Thanksgiving and Praise to God whose hleHaings we acknowledge with grateful hearts.
 All the world is Gods own field, Fruit unto His praise Co yield; Wheat and tares together sOwn, Unto joy or sorrow grown:
 First the blade. and then the ear, Then the full corn shall appear: Grant. c harvest Lord. that we Wholesome grain and pure may be. !"

Money Messier, Ballou Street, Instantly Killed Tuesday
 At Attawaugan
Light Engine Crashes Truck Loaded
 With Cord Wood

Money Messier. 41, of BalIou street, father of seven children, was instant killed at the Attawaugan grade ,rossing of the N. Y. N. H. & H. Railroad. Tuesday afternoon about wo o'clock. when a truck loaded with cord wood, which he was driving to. ward Putnam, was struck by a ioco- motive running light. Messier's neck was broken and his skull fractured as he was thrown from the cab of the track.
 The news of the fatality, the first grade crossing accident in this cor aer ef the county in some time, was received in Putnam after the body had been viewed by officials. Patrol man Joseph Page took the telephone call and upon him developed the un- pleasant task of notifying Mrs Mess cr of her husbands tragic death.
 lt is believed that two lines of
 reieht cars standing on a siding near the crossing may have figured in she accident. Messier had approached he crossing after proceeding along the road on the north shore of Alex aader's Lake. His view to the north, towards Putnam. from which locomo- tive 1883 was approaching at a rate of speed estimated at 30 miles an ho5r, Was somewhat hidden. A strong breeze was blowing at the time and

THANKSGIVING
First Observed In February 1851 When Relief Came to Starving Settlers.

More than three hundred years ago our Pilgrim Fathers. under Governor Bradford. met to give thanks to God for the blessings He had vouehsafed to them. Poor in this worlds goods, but rich in faith and hope and cour- age. they were undeterred by their anifefinRs on the stormy shores of Plymouth They were beset by hard ship. hunger, danger, disease, and death Religious and civil liberty were theirs and. in comparison their suffer ings were of little importance They looked forward to a day when these principles would become the founda- ton of q new nation. We now possess these blessings.
 The Furtans. unGer John Endieott as governor settled al Salem. Massa- ehuaeits nine years after the Pilgrim settlement A year later (1630) John Winthrop with q thousand Puri- tans after voyage of seventy-six days came into Salem harhor in the ship "Arabella" and three smaller ships to ask advice of John Endieott in regard to a place for a settlement. They then went to Charlestown but not finding the drinking water good. they went to Boston and settled near spring where the Boston Post Office now stands. The winter was dreary one. and was much more fatal than that of the Pilgrims at Plymouth. The long voyage in scurvy-tainted ships and a diet Of clans and acorns made

Plaster of Paris
 Might Be Whitewash

Tom Marlow. our Putnam ianitor is still locking for someone who pull ed a wise one on him.
 As everybody knows, he keeps our Putnam building painted cleaned and sniuoG ID au or the ume ITe thought the cellar walls needed whitewashing so purchased q bag of whitewash and mixed it up. He had it mixed nice and smooth and went after his brush. When he tried to put the brush into the wnitewashn. it seemed frozen, He tried to pull his mixing stick but and lifted the entire can of the floor. Then came the dawGing of a great light. Someone had given Tom plaster of paris instead of whitewash.
 While he was mixing his white wash. T. C. Fraser asked Tom, Does 1t get good and hard?" Tom is wondering if T. c. had any inside dope.-The Telephone Bulletin.

FATHER OF SEVEN MEETS
 DEATH ON CROSSING

this may have affected Messier's abili- ty to hear the warning whistle as the engine approached the crossing.
 No Chance
 The truck was driven onto the crossing directly in front of the loco motive and there was no chance for Engineer Joseph P Gaudette of New London to bring the locomotive to a stop, or even to retard, Co any ex- tent, it's speed. C hers in the locomo- tive cab were the fireman. A. T. Ruell of Groton and flagman J. II. Stanne of New London The engine was stopped and the crew hurried to the scene of the impact They found Messier's body some distance from the crossing.
 Dr. R. (. Garcin of Dayville was called. Upon his arrival he pronoune- ed Messier dead. Dr. George M. Bur roughs of Danielson. medical exam iner. and County Coroner Arthur C.. Bill, were also notified. They viewed the body. gave permission for it's re- moval. and telephoned the Putnam police to notify Mrs. Messier to send for it. Sergeant George l.. Gardner and Officer Royal Scranton of the state police made a eheck-up of the accident.
 Mir. Messier has lived in Putnam for some years. He made his living by doing light trucking and by selling wood. He had to work hard to support his vie and family of seven children, most Of them too young to assist the sam.iyis income.

THE STORY OF JAKE
Tortoise Can Fast A Year But Likes Vegetables And
 Bananas

Jake is a Galapagos, from the is- land of that namei he IS one of the few in captivity outside of these in museums and zoos.
 He is at present in Bali. having travelled almost around the world with Mir. and Mrs Armand Denis and Mir Andre Roosevelt.
 As his species is rare in this part of the world. Patriot readers may be interested .u some facts about him
 His native land, the island Gala pagos, is n tropical volcanic island near Ecuador There is a penal colony there and the inhabitants are chiefly conviets.
 William Beebe went there on an ex- petition 10 collect and study galapagos tortoises. and has written at length about them in one of his books. Jake, however, was not taken by his eSpedi- ton but by another.
 At the time of his capture about thirty galapagos were taken for mu- seums. Jake was kept by a young man in the party who was greatly interested in him.
 Can Fast a Year
 The large tortoises when taken, are laid on their backs on the bottom of the ship, and will remain In that posi- ton without food for d year if neces- sary. Their average weight is five hundred pounds. They are wonder fully good eating and the oil that is taken from them, can be used as but ter and is said to be just as good. Oar win made an extensive study of them.
 Jake was first taken to New York, but a New York apartment did not prove an ideal home for him. One afternoon Mir. and Mrs. Denis were at the zoo in the Bronx, both being in- terested in reptiles, they spent most of their time in that section. The at tention of Jake's owner was attracted to them by seeing Mrs. Denis holding snake in her arms. He got in con versation with them and a friendship began which resulted in Jake's join ing the Denis family on a trip to Bali. He is SO gentle that the Denis chill dren play with him as they would with kitten. He is at present thirty years old. SO is in his early youth with the prospect of possibly many centu- ries of life ahead of him.
 IL is interesting to know the age of turtles and tortoises can be told by markings on their backs.
 Jake is about eighteen inches in diameter and when he is fed. which is usually every two days. has good appetite. He eats vegetables, prin- cipally carrots, but is very fond of bananas. eating nine at meal
 In addition to Jake who is tempo rarily in his charge Mir. Denis has fine collection of tortoises; twenty three of them. from Arizona and New Mexico are now in Thompson, spend ing the winter in Mrs. Roosevelt's eel lar. They are fine specimens and Mrs. Roosevets callers usually ask to see them before leaving.

PUBLISHER AIDED
POWERINTEREsTS
Copley Denies Charges;
Proven by Evidence

WASHINGTON, June 14.-Ira C.
Copley,, owner of chain of %
newspapers in California and Illi-
nois and active worker in the inter
est of the power trust, was yester-
day charged by Senator Norris with
open connection with the power in
dustry at the Federal Trade Com
mission hearings.
The weakness of Copley's denial
was revealed even more clearly
when he reviewed on the stand his
operations in the utilities field in
rural Illinois, where he controlled
the Western United Corporation
and its subsidiaries three years ago.
He said he had made a fortune in
utilities before entering the news
paper field. Copley admitted hold
ing 1880 shares of preferred stock
of the Western United having a par
value of 500 per share, but he at
tempted to pass his ownership of
the shares off by saying he held
them for his wife, his sister and
friend.

Senate PASSES
DEBENTURELESS
FAKE FARM BILL.
Large Majority Clears
Way for Consumption

WASHINGTON, June 14.-As
was expected when President
Hoover gave orders to end the sham
war over "debentures" in the farm
bill and get the fraud on the farm
ers out of the road so that attention
could be paid to his military con-
scripticn bills, the senate today
passed the farm bill in the form de-
cided upon in the house of repre-
sentatives.
Yesterday the house rejected the
dcbenture proposition by large
vote. Today the joint conference
committee accepted the bill unani-
mously without debentures.
The senate vote is "a to 8. The
debenture provision originated in
the senate, and was a convenient
excuse for shifting responsibility
for the present bill, a wretched ex-
cuse for farm aid promises made
during the campaign by Hoover and
other republican party spokesman.
The bill now goes to Hoover, who
will sign it. 1t provides for no re-
lief for the farmers, but outlines a
mortgage plan, of farm loans, di-
rected by and profiting the bankers.

Lawyers, "Uplifters,"
ALL. Misleaders Chat
at Negro conference"

Doctors, lawyers and prosecuting
attorneys together with handful
of social workers and American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor officials, staged o
so-called conference for Negro labor
in Cleveland.
One of the meetings was arranged
with speakers, but no questions were
allowed; another meeting was a
round table conference; the last ses-
sion was another meeting, but only
three questions were allowed after
each speaker.
The speakers were a doctor, a
lawyer, and a Y. M. c. A. worker,
who filled the conference with a
luke-warm flavor of well-paid social
workers. One whole meeting was
devoted to the Social Welfare Of
the Negro Worker"

ANSWER PIONEER
DELEGATION CALL
Worker Youth School
for Trip to USSR

Answering the call of the Young
Pioneers of America for a workers
children's delegation to the Soviet
Union, various organizations are be-
ginning to send in resolutions of en-
dorsement and backing. Among the
first to have been received was one
from the Non-Partisan Jewish
Workers Children's Schools.
The statement adopted by the ma
tional convention of the schools fol-
lows:
Foresee War.
"The preparation of all capitalist
countries for a new war and espe-
cially for an attack against the Sow
let Union, must draw great atten-
ton Of the workers of the entire
world.
"In connection with this, two very
important children's congresses will
take place this summer, one of the
Roy Scouts in England and a second
the Congress of the Soviet Union
Pioneers. The purpose of both these
congresses is clear. The congress
OF the Pioneers in Russia has in
vited children's delegations from the
entire world. This will be a worthy
answer to the Boy Scout Jamboree
that will be held in England.
Taking this into consideration,
the Young Pioneer organization of
America has decided to send a chill
dren's delegation to the U. S. S. R.
The first convention of the Non
Partisan Jewish Workers Children's
School endorses this decision and
pledges itself to help send chill
dren's delegation in where there
should, also be included, if possible,
child from our schools"

Protest Betrayal.

JALAPA, Vera Cruz, Mexico,
June 14.-That the reactionary al
lance between the Portes Gil gov
eminent and the catholic church is
not being hailed with the universal
Joy that the official reports would
lead one to believe S attested by
the action of the legislature of the
state Of Vera Cruz. The legislature
has voted its approI Il of a tele-
gram sent by Deputy Eligio Tejada
to Portes Gil appealing to him no;
to sacrifice the principles of the re-
volution by forming an alliance with
the catholic church.
Tejeda's telegram declared his
Neutrality-suspicious. would support him
"as friends, citizens and revolution
aries in defense of the principles
contained in article 100 (the re-
igious clause of the Mexican con-
stitution."
The action of the Vera Cruz leg
islature is believed to be due to the
pressure exerted by the strong peas
ants movement in Vera Cruz.
However, it is we'll known that
the only real opposition to Gil's
Grass, betrayal is coming from the
workers and peasants movements
of the country under the leadership
of the Communist Party, the Ma
tional Peasants League, the Work
ers and Peasants Bloc and the new
militant trade union federation.

TITLED with at this time. -.
eve have put up with all sorts
Of insults and abuse from these in
terlopers."
By "interlopers" they mean the
strike leaders, interfering with Man
ville-Jenckes' little program of star
walton wages and the ten or twelve
hour day for child slaves.
The editorial says further:
"We have treated them with con-
siderstion and kindness" :. (such
as bayonetting them, blackjacking
women and children, sending a
masked mob to destroy their head
quarters at night, shooting up their
tent colony and falling hundreds of
them in an attempt to cow their
spirit and break their strike against
horrible conditionsD
''NOt Healthy for Them"
But the Gastonia Gazette editor
ial goes on to say that in spite of
these "kindnesses" "they (the strik-
ers) have demoralized business and
mill conditions in West Gastoniaw
and:
ave do not want to see any more
Of these leaders and organizers COM
ing in here from New Jersey and
New York. 1t will not be healthy
fer them"
The editorial page of this issue
of the Gazette is largely devoted to
"cussin' out" the Raleigh News and
Observer and the Greensboro News,
because in their comment on the
Friday shooting these two papers
tactlessly referred to the masked
mob assault on the previous head
quarters a few weeks ago.
