Bill Returns For
Second Ward Week

A dollar bill, given as change
by the store during Ward Week
two years ago was among the first
money to be spent with Montgom-
cry Ward when Ward Week open

tanned in a cellophane envelope
bearing Ward advertising, an idea
used in the former event. Ward

the person who presented it was
under the impression that it could
not be spent only during Ward
Week or whether it has been resur-
rected from the proverbial sock.

A THOUGHT FOR THANKS
GIVING

Of all the holidays which we
%customarily observe, there are two
of distinctly American origin
which are celebrated all over the
United States. Those are indie
pendence Day and Thanksgiving
Day. Both of these have peculiar
significance to all Americans. They
90 back to the roots of our nation
al life. independence Day is, OF
should be, an annual reminder that
our national liberty was achieved
only because free nlen were ready
to fight for the right to govern
themselves. And Thanksgiving
Day, now about to roll aroune
again, should be a reminder tina,
the foundations of America were
laid by men and women who
cherished spiritual liberty even
more highly than they held person
al and political liberty.
Liberty" said Woodrow WI.
son, "is a spiritual concept" Lib.
erty of conscience is one Of ths
fundamental precepts Of our ma.
tional structure, guaranteed tc
every citizen under the Constitu'
ton. That spiritual liberty is, per-
haps, the most precious Of all the
bounties for which American.
should give thanks on the last
Thursday in November.
So far in our history Americ:
has been more abundantly blessed
than any other nation has eve,
since the beginning of recorded
time. We have prospered as nc
other nation has ever prospered. w
are just beginning to realize that
the latest world depression let u
off more lightly, as a people, thar
it did any other race or nation. W.
are now beginning to realize, too
that we are we'll on our way GU,
Of the depression, heading swiftly
toward renewed prosperity Of !
magnitude beyond our present
dreams. For such material bless.
ings it is we'll to give thanks to the
Providence which has guided us;
but it is also we'll to remembel
that there are greater treasures than
money and the wealth of which
money is a measure.
Let us, in the midst of ou1
Thanksgiving feasting and merry
making, not forget that we are
possessors of a great spiritual heri.
tage, and make the day an occasion
for pledging ourselves anew to The
upholding and perpetuation of that
spiritual liberty, that freedom Of
conscience and Of thought, which
our forefathers sought and found
in their New World.
