THANKSGIVING What a wonderfully expressive word it is
and how much it means to US all. Holidays are days of re-
iodng. And SO it is that we should really celebrate the holt
day OF Thanksgiving in the manner which its very name implies.
Of course we shall feast and make merry. And the lovely
custom of all of the members of the family assembling at one
house for the Thanksgiving meal is q beautiful custom and one
which should never be permitted to die out. And each Thanks
giving some little bride is called upon to prepare the holiday
meal and right proudly she does her task. And right proud her
husband is Of the little wife who trained for domestic economy
over a typewriter and filing cabinet.
1t is at holiday times that we in town envy you in the coun-
try. For the country is THE place to celebrate the holidays.
Of course it is much nicer to buy the holiday turkey rather than
to 90 out in the yard and smile falsely at the gobbler who is
marked TO provide the piece de resistance of the festive board.
But aside from that, We would rather be in the country. Much
rather. But If not all Of us can be in some lovely old house or
farmhouse, we can all of US carry within our hearts a little of that
Thanksgiving feeling that expresses more than anything else our
gratitude for the haven that our country affords.
