THANKSGIVING DAY was al

THANKSGIVING DAY was ap-
pointed by the early founders of OuI
country to give thanks to God fol-
His goodness. The day was sincerely
observed by hymns of lofty cheer,
as the poet expressed it, and a keen
sense that these adventurers in a
new land had been favored by heav-
en-.
No doubt those old folks fell on
the turkey with an even fiercer ap-
petite than is felt today. Probably
the professors of ettiquet of these
times would not consider their table
manners good. No old colonist prob
ably worried if he got his mouth
greasy while devouring the tooth
some second joint. But anyway
those folks did not forget the real
purpose of Thanksgiving Day.
Our modern age is skeptical, and
some people find it difficult to believe
ir either God or heaven. But it is
we'll to reflect on this occasion, that
all the blessings we have did not
come from our own sweat and strug-
gle, nor from our own majestic
brains. When we are frank, we have
to admit that our human nature is
pretty frail and weak.
Wherever it came from, a great
deal has been handed down to us.
When we enjoy fine schools, popular
education, chances to earn a living
social advantages, comfortable
homes, most of these things were
created by those who went before.
We owe somebody thankfulness for
them.
It is an error to suppose that the
things we see and touch and taste
are the only things that exist in this
universe. There are vast forces
breathing through US, leading u.s.
swaying US, whose origin and oper-
alton is an impenetrable mystery. On
the whole life is good. We have our
sorrows and troubles. But in the
main those who go straight and hand
out friendly justice come out pretty
well. There is something, not our
selves, that makes for righteous
ness" said Matthew Arnold, famous
philosopher. We should be thankful
that that something exists, whether
YOU call it God or Nature or Destiny.

WHILE EUROPE seethes with
war hatreds, in America nothing
that can be called hate is felt for any
nation. That was not so Is years
ago. Most of us recall how Germany
and the Germans were execrated.

Veterans Association were given a
place in the patriotic exercises, and
applauded' by a big audience. 1t
would have been so in most places.

With the return Of President ROos.
evelt to Washington from his vaca-
ton trip II is unlikely that there will
be any let up IN political news from
now until after the elections exactly
year away. And unless some new
element is injected which might
completely change the political pic
ture (such as q European war), AM
erica is IN for one of its most hard
fought campaigns in many years.
What are the issues? Who will be
the nominees? Those are the ques-
tiOns which will begin to find their
answers as President Roosevelt un-
flds his program for the next Con-
gress, and as the Supreme Court
passes upon certain New Deal laws
which will reach the highest tribun-
al during the winter. Taking the sec
ond question first-the nominees-it
is generally accepted that President
Roosevelt will be re-nominated de-
spite the opposition that has sprung
up within the Democratic party. On
the Republican side the field is still
more or less wide open, with the
only near certainty that the nominee
will come from the Middle West.
Actually the issues are more in
teresting for political discussion at
this time and are giving political
Washington more concern. It is inn
POSSIBLE this far from the conven-
tions to boil them down into the one
big issue which always stirs any
campaign, but in the following four
can be forecast the battle lines:
Amendment or circumventiOn !
of the Constitution, including the
shearing of power from the Supreme
Court.
2-The cost of government and the
tremendous relief expenditures.
3-Taxation, reaching down to the |
wage Garner and small home owner.
4-The rising cost of living due to /
the philosophy of scarcity.
A recent national survey Of pub
lie opinion made by the American
Institute Of Public Opinion showed

1T HAS ALWAYS been the dream
CT man that he might some day be
given wings, with which he might
soar into the starry spaces, and visit
the moon, planets, and other sys-
TENS. But when he starts out to
leave the safe surface of the earth,
he soon discovers that his organs
were never ment to live at any high
altitude.
1t was a glorious achievement in
science when Captains Stevens and
Anderson of the u. S. Army ascend

from another point of view, those IA
miles are only a little way. We make
IA miles on the earth's surface in Is

surrounded this earth with only a
very thin layer of the air that is the
breath of life. At the outer edge of
that air, she posts ''No trespass"
signs, which tell us to go no far
ther. Man heats his wings against
the boundary. Will he ever cross it?

Harry Hopkins in his dispute with
Harold Ickes reached after a "a
hour summer White House con-
ference yesterday.
President Roosevelt said that
most of the PWA ALLEGATIONS will
not reach peak employment until
spring. So, to fill up the gap
from December to March the
WPA will be called on to provide
projects where men can be put to
work quickly.
The ironing out of the difficult
ties that arose when Hopkins vet
oed 1000 PWA projects as too
costly, occurred in a night con-
ference at the summer White
House, successfully refereed by
the president to whom appeal had
been taken.
Details could not be learned but
it was stated that Mr.. Roosevelt
would have a statement to make
at his meeting with Washington

PETE STOKES,
ANDERS TAKE
DOUBLES HERE
Wind Up City Net Tourney
With 5 Set Victory
On Thursday

Pete Stokes and Bob Anders
won the city tennis tournament
doubles title yesterday afternoon,
defeating George Fain and Ivan
Smith in five sets, 2-6, GO, TO,
6-3, Ga.
The first set, played Wednes-
day afternoon went to Fain and
Smith and the match was called
on account of rain. The opening
set yesterday found Stokes and
Anders showing a better brand
of tennis and pulling out at CO.
The third set was a ding-dong
affair all the way through and
Fain and Smith finally pulled it
out at OF. The Stokes-Anders
combination then went to work
and pulled out two sets In a row
for the title.
The play in all departments
yesterday was spotty, Stokes was
steady from the back-court and
Anders was brilliant and erractic
in his net play. Smiths usually
fine service was also erractic and
Fain's entire game lacked the
steadiness that brought him the
singles title.
The doubles finals brought to
an end the 1885 city tournament
with cups awarded to George
Fain, singles winner, Pete Stok-
es and Bob Anders, doubles win
ners and H. A. Smith, consolation
winner.

Works Progress Administration
projects which aggregate approx

will be sent to Washington for
final approval.
The list of approved projects
includes all those greatly desired
here with the exception of the
completion of the Fleetwood ho-
tel, and includes work to be done
in both the city and county.
Final approval from Washing
ton is expected to be granted for
the greater number of these prof.
ects, based largely on the amount
of money to be granted to the
state of North Carolina and on
the amount of this sum which
will be allotted to this county and

which would have provided for
the completion Of the structure
on Jump-off mountain at cost
of half a million dollars, failed to
get approval from the Raleigh Of

The city gymnasium project
was approved and provides for an
expenditure of approximately
$35, 900. The building would be
of native stone, containing q base

tanning a standard basketball
court and room for several hum
dred spectators. The building
would provide approximately TO-

approximately twice the size of
the present wooden structure.
Approval was also given to the
construction of an addition to the
Hendersonville Golf and Country
Club clubhouse and for the i'm

addition would include pros
room, mems showers, and lockers
in the basement, and a large
room on the level of the present
structure to be used for dining
and dancing. The estimated ex-

Reported Strong LAST

The board of city commits

down on Sunday moving pic
lures and the so-called "open

Mayor A. v. Edwards this
morning issued this brief state
ment: "The city officials have
considered the cards they have
received in favor of open Sum

have open Sunday in Hender-

No record vote was taken on
the matter of an ordinance per-

were unanimous in their oppo-
sition to such an ordinance.
The mayor and city commits
sioners had received 4S9 print

ting Sunday movies. 1t was
stated that a large number OF
written cards, letters, and tele-
phone calls had also been re-
ceived in opposition to such an
ordinance.
It was the feeling OF the
MAYOR and commissioners that
the people of the city had had
the opportunity about a year
ago to voice their opinion on
the matter and had disapproved
such an ordinance in a city
election.
