Group Stays Behind
Many of the veterans, espe
cially those with families, looked
on hopelessly as the caravan
started. They had no homes to
go to, and Homer Dollar, of
Erie, Pa, acting as their spokeS-
man, said they would remain for
the present in JohnStoWn. He
served as captain during the
war and is an unemployed en-
gineer.
Another group of perhaps 80
men refused to leave on different
grounds. They like the camp
life. They enjoyed the vagabond-
age of camping out. At Johns
town they were reasonably sure
of food and certain of a place
to sleep, they believed.

Lifting of the siege by the Ma

of sniping and confusion. Ma
tional Guard observation airplanes
flew over the embattled area until
a late hour. Major Richard Tay-
lor, commander of the air squad
ron, said the beSieglng miners had
fired on the planes.
Col. Paul Seiberling, who led
the 1000 National Guard troops
to the scene, ordered Major Tay-
lor to recall the planes when the
firing threatened to bring them
to the ground.
After mobilizing on the cam
pus of Indiana Normal University

moving busloadS of soldiers to-
ward the mine. AS bugle
sounded, all firing ceased. When
the troops moved into the scene

Group Stays Behind
Hyder weekly herald., 1932-11-19

And may it not be, perhaps, that at least some of our abase- ment is due not SO much to the alleged failures of our leaders and the manipulations of high finance as to our own neglect in times of prosperity to remember moral and spirit ual values and to recognize in our frantic chase for place and power and wealth that our abundance had a higher source than ourselves and our own eff forts; that somewhere in the infinite beyond all earthly vis- ion there is a master source, call it what you will, that in the long run shapes our desti- nies and from which in the last analysis comes all our bount- ies?
 Although some will scoff at the thought, it is neverthe- less a fact that history portrays many instances of peoples who had become like ours, great and wealthy and proud and fell from place and power into decadence and oblivion more through failure to cultivat, their moral and spiritual re- sources than as result of ma terial conditions.
 Who, then, may say with ce:- tain assurance that our sudden fall from the worldly prosper ity of three years ago is not in some degree due to our neg lect to recognize that there are other things and forces in this universe of ours than those which most of us made the goals of our aspirations and existence in times of prosper ity and plenty?

Thanksgiving Thoughts

Festive dinners and friendly reunions are not the whole of Thanksgiving. There is a far more serious side to our annual Thanksgiving festival, which has seemed to escape many of us, especially in more prosper ous times.
 The idea of a day set apart to remember the bounties of the Almighty had in it origin ally the thought of solemn in- ventory of moral and spiritual resources also. A review of the Thanksgiving proclamations of the past half century reveals the fact that not once but many times the duty of gratitude is enjoined upon the people. Even in those far away days of the Pilgrim Fathers there was coupled with the Thanksgiv- ing feast a solemn dedication to right living and a quickened conscience. The religious mot i've in Thanksgiving has been a fundamental from the first.
 In the more than 150 years of American independence there has been no Thanksgiv- ing when the people of this nation were confronted by more distressing conditions than at present and never has there been a time of greater need for sober thought and, We might add, humility.
 America has long been the wealthiest and most prosperous nation in the world. Until the past three years her people have habitually enjoyed more creature comforts than any other people. The peoples of other nations have looked at those of America with com- mingled envy and admiration. Our material prosperity and plenty have indeed been the 1 marvel of the century. And l with it all we have become proud, self-centered and com placent.
 Now all this is greatly | changed. Millions of our peop- le are in want. Our long vaunt- ed prosperity has vanished, industry and business are lab bring in diversity to sustain themselves in the midst of cha otic economic conditions. No longer are we so proud of our great material sufficiency and plethora of creatures comforts. 1
