THANKSGIVING"
People, who live today, have so
much more to be thankful for than
the Pilgrim and Indians who start
ed the customs hundreds Of years
ago. We have the radios, autoes,
airplanes, theatres, telephones,
typewriters, telegraphs, and num-
erous other things that the Pilgrim
people never had but still we never
stop to thank God for the wonder
full things he has made possible.
Many people look forward to
thanksgiving as day for merri-
ment and feasting, but 1t should be
day set aside for the purpose of
thanking God for all the wonders
he has given us during the year.
We are very fortunate to have a
spacious country that has freedom
of speech, while in other countries
Of the world, wars and dictatorship
are being forced on the people. Yes,
indeed we are people that should
be very thankful.
Thanksgiving"
On Thanksgiving morning when I
awake,
I see my mother making cake,
The turkey on the oven shelf
Is bubbling and boiling by its self,
But he won't be alone at dinner
time.
For we will be with him in time to
dine.
Jane Brecken.
WHAT / AM THANKFUL FOR
There are so many things to be
thankful for that it Is hard to de-
termine the one I prize most high
ly. One of those that are least men
toned and most taken for grant
ed is education. One hundred years
ago, no education for the masses
was possible. OF course, few rich
children were tutored privately,
but the great percentage were ig-
norant and possessing no know
ledge whatsoever. Today, almost
every child is given the opportun-
ity for education. This Is one of
the most wonderful and least rec
ognized benefits of the modern age.
Let us be thankful for it.
Robert Rydholm.
THANKFULNESS
Is there much to be thankful for?
Surely the air we breathe and the
fact that we can breathe it are
causes for continuance of thanks
giving throughout the whole year.
Most of us have the love of at least
a few people or the memory of that
love. We have food to eat and
homes to give us shelter. Maybe I
am more grateful for my joys be-
cause there have been sorrows.
am grateful for the ability to work
because there have been times
I am more thankful for good meals
because I can remember when food
was not so plentiful. There are
other things added to my capacity
for thanksgiving also.

The children in Miss Hunts

Thanksgiving in different ways.
