Ken admitted this point silently, and with
out further word they set out for the corner
of Main and Scott streets. Arrived there they
came upon q scene Of uttermost confusion.
GENERAL large but dilapidated motor trucks
- were pulled up one side Of the big
vacant lot and from them had already been
removed an almost unbelievable quantity Of
material Several tents were already in the
process of being erected in line. and in an
open space some kind of portable merrygo-
round was being assembled
How did they ever get all that stun on
those trucks?" demanded Spooky
You'd know If you'd seen the trucks" re-
piled Ken. "They were piled so high thought
they'd fall over any minute"
Spooky had been examining the gaudy signs
on the partially raised tents. This thing Is
Just like the sideshows of circus" he pointed
out Look at that one-'Sisto, Most Amazing
of Freaks Half Horse, Half Mani"
IT wonder if they feed him oats" scoffed
Ken.
Suddenly there was interruption. An i'm
portant looking who wore a broad
brimmed black hat and a very gay suit,
marched toward them. Quite a number of
the townspeople, including most of the younger
ones who were not otherwise occupied, had
gathered to watch the unloading process. Now
this man began to clear them from the lot,
for they were in the way. He did it in
grand and pompous manner, but he was care
full to offend no one. He simply pointed out
that in order to treat the town to the greatest
show of the century by that very evening, 1t
was necessary that the workmen be free to
go about their labors without having spec
tators under their feet.

True, they had picked up few odd nickels

philosophical air, 'if it's carnival, guess

Thanksgiving Then and Now
Styles and customs come and go but
no one thinks of changing the GUS
tomary Thanksgiving dinner. The
main dishes of the meal were estab-
lished by the colonists in Massachu-
sets in 1921 and are still used today.
The following is an example of the
All-American menu:
Oyster Stew
Roast Turkey Chestnut Dressing
Giblet Gravy Cranberry Sauce
Mashed Potatoes Boiled Onions
Stewed Dried Corn Mashed Turnips
Celery Corn Bread
Waldorf Salad Pumpkin Pie
Nuts Fruit
To obtain a glossy brown surface on
the turkey, rub it well with corn oil
before baking. This does not affect
the flavor. Flour drizzled over the
oiled surface will make a thick, crisp
brown crust less glossy than using
just oil.
The pumpkin may be canned or
fresh baken and put through a sieve.
A fluffy texture is obtained by whip
ping the egg whites to stiff froth
and folding them into the mixture at
the last.
If glossy surface is desired, drib-

SONG OF THE THRIFTY FARMER

Mirandy says she's got plan
To feed US all from out can
This winter: We'll have plenty feed
And vitamins for every need.
She says if we are short of cash
Instead of feeding US on hash,
She'll go down cellar like she's planned
And feed us from the stuff she's
canned.
The gardens full of everything:
Instead of wastin' it, by jung,
She puts it all up in it's juice
And saves it for our future use.
The cellars full of corn and beans,
And cauliflower and turnip greens
Tomatoes, too, and beets and chard:
l sure won't find it very hard
When snow is blowin' round outside
To stow the stuff away inside
My belt; and then we'll sure live high,
Nor have very much to buy.
The squirrels don't know what hard
times is:
They store away the nuts; gee whiz-
They don't depend on anyone
To feed them when the summers
done.
When wind and winter take their toll
They curl up down there in their hole,
Nor worry bout note that's due,
Nor if their creditors will sue.
Hard times don't worry parent squir-
rels
Nor any of their boys or girls;
They help themselves when weather's
good
And when it's bad they've got their
food
All stored away-thev amt misled
By thinkin' they will be fed
From some emergency relief
No, sir; it is the squirrels belief
That God helps them who helps them.
selves.
And so they fill their pantry shelves.
If we would follow that there plan
And raise a lot of stuff and can
Our troubles would be over soon
And we'd have lots to eat each moon

1t is reported in the public press
that in Baltimore there are more than
$4,000 families receiving aid from the
welfare association in that city, as
compared with $500 last winter.
What is true of Baltimore is CORES
pondingly true of other large centers
of population. 1t is no doubt true
that for the great majority this is
lean year. Many who have not here
tofore known the pinch of economic
stress are hard put to find the bare
necessities of lifel-food, clothing,
warmth, and comfort for their loved
ones. Fear for the, Immediate future,
and in many cases despair, are ghosts
that stalk the footsteps of more than
eleven million people in this country.
On Thanksgiving Day, ham hook and
cabbage will take the place of turkey
and cranberries on many tables here
tofore laden with appetizing foods.
But for all that, those whose homes
have not been sold for taxes or fore
closed under mortgage and who
have a shelter from the icy blasts OF
winter, should be thankful that the
great agencies organized for relief,
National, state, municipal and
private. have made it possible that no
one need suffer for the lack of food,
heat or clothing. Aid which may be
asked for and received, under present
circumstances, is not to be considered
as charity, but an effort on the part
of the combined resources OF the
United States to relieve distress oc-
casioned by the most stupendous eco
Don2ic worldwide crisis in history.
We should be thankful that this gov
eminent stands on a rock-rlbbed
foundation, and that notwithstanding
the billions of dollars loaned to for
eign powers and which will probably
never be repaid) it is far from being
broke. We will emerge triumphant,
with the mistakes of business and
governmental policies corrected and
with truth, Justice and confidence rul-
ing nations and individuals where
greed, avarice and might have been
enthroned.

The arrest and conviction OF a
party accused of killing squirrels
within the corporate limits of the
Park will certainly impress all that
the authorities will use every legal
effort to enforce the ordinances and
laws of the town. 1t is probably true
that, as was contended, the accused
did not know, when the squirrel was
shot, that he was within the corporate
limits. We have no reason to doubt
his word. However, while the boun-
diaries are not marked, yet it is bet
ter to be certain when hunting that
we are we'll beyond the prescribed
area. Wild life is valuable asset to
the Park as long as it depends on
visitors from towns and cities for its
prosperity, and it should be protected.
The Mayor and Town Council have
adopted a budget for the current
year and the Town Clerk has worked
out a simple and efficient set-up on
the books. 1t appears that ample
provisions have been made for con-
templated expenditures. The bene-
fits. we believe, will be apparent at
the end of the year.
