that their half a loaf was better
than rone--and gathered to praise,
the thought. -
BY grace of public proclamation
and national weakness for tur-
key. that earnest little beginning
has grown into a custom of sturdy
proportions.
And as a custom. 1t is such "a
good one that 1t stirs conjecture
of what happens If it lasted the
year around.
Imagine all the cliques and
classes, all the social and economic
subdivisions of the nation giving
up their private ambitions in order
to keep the Thanksgiving spirit. at
high tide for, say, IL whole months.
Strife and turmoil would disap-
pear magically. The labor wars
would fold up and collapse: there
would be no more high tax wor-
ries, no more carping. at Nazis
and Communists. There would be
no concern over Japan's war on
China or the. high cost of living,
or the aeighbor's rowing chickens,
or Siwash's fifth football defeat of
the year.

Striving merely for enough corn
and meat to carry them through
a hard winter. They have to con-
tend, as well, with a welter of new
political. economic and social
schemes which may remold life
virtually over weekend.
Perhaps that's why we can't
spend whole year as disciples of
the credo of gratitude. Like those
early pioneers, we have other du-
ties that morl0polize our attention.
Three hundred and sixty-four days
of the year we are striving to keep
our balance and our jobs through
the confusion that has become the
hallmark of the first half of the
Goth century.
Keeping that level head through
the depression deeps and the weird
aftermaths of the depression has
required all the balance, judg-
ment, and discernment the nation
could muster. ..sa
