form of government.

form of government.
However, these thanksgiving days
have not survived as national holi-
days and are scarcely remembered
outside of history books. Perhaps the
reason for the survival of the celebra-
ton of the first Thanksgiving day is
the manner in which it is celebrated.
1t is time of feasting and merry
making, a time for enjoying all the
good things that harvest-time brings.
The modern method of celebrating
Thanksgiving differs greatly from the
colonial celebrations. In colonial days
Thanksgiving was based upon thots
of reverence, prayer and thankful
ness. Family reunions were prevalent.
While the women prepared the feast
the men would talk over political af-
fairs and the children would make
merry sliding down the bannisters.
Today football games have taken the
place of church. Family reunions are
scarce. But there is still some of that
spirit of thankfulness which our fore
fathers felt.

Evergreens And Holly Should Be
Taken Care Of

That there was danger of destroy
ing some of Maryland's most cherished
evergreens to a point where they are
no longer obtainable in quantity, was
declared this week by F.. w. Besley
State Forester, and he asked the CO.
operation of all people in preserving
them.
He referred particularly to the
ground or creeping pine, once so abun-
dant in the pine woods and now al
most extinct. Its long stringline rooted
stems running on the surface of the
ground under leaves and covered with
evergreen foliage, has been used Law
ishly over the years as festoons fol
Christmas decorations.
"At the present rate at which berry
bearing holly trees are being cut down
or badly mutilated, there is cause fol
ALARM" he said.
Throughout the Eastern Shore anC
Southern Maryland there are large
B
acres of woodlands in which holly
grows.
There is no shortage of Christmas
trees, however, as there are thousands
of acres of pine forests and old fields
now coming up thick with spruce pine
throughout the Southern part of the
State. The use of the living Christmas
trees is rapidly growing in favor, il
was stated.
In Garrett county there is still ar
abundance of Christmas trees anc
quite lot of ground pine, it is
learned from a number of men who
tramp the woods quite frequently.

SERUM TREATMENT FOUND

Laboratory service and serum for
the treatment of certain types of
pneumonia are now available at the

Health, to all physicians in private
practice in the counties, to aid them
in the early diagnosis and prompt
treatment of the disease, DR.. R. H.
Riley, Director of the State Depart

Pneumonia has gradually become
one of the leading causes of sickness
and death, DIR. Riley said, and this SER
vice has been undertaken as the first
move in the Statewide fight that has
been started against the disease.
"Serum treatment" he explained,

yet available for all forms of the dis
ease. Laboratory tests or sputum
from the person suspected of having
pneumonia are necessary to deter
mine the type of the disease present.
The serum treatment is effective only
when administered in the early stages
of the disease. Early diagnosis, there
fore, is of the utmost Importance. The
laboratories are prepared to make
these tests and arrangements have
been made at all of them for immedi-
ate examination of sputum from sus-
pected persons. This service is free
and is open to all physicians in the
counties.
Serum for the treatment of specific
types of the disease is provided at
cost. A limited supply of the various
types that are available has been
placed at the Central and Branch Bac-
THEOLOGICAL Laboratories of the State
Department of Health, and may be Sc
cured by physicians for treatment of
cases under their care, on application
to the County Health Officer.
$50 much depends upon the early
recognition of the specific types of
the disease and the prompt admins
tration of the appropriate serum that
no time should be lost in getting the
specimens of sputum to the nearest
laboratory for examination. The spu-
tum should be taken to the nearest
laboratory by messenger who can
wait until the preliminary tests are
made. Some specimens take longer
than others for examination. Some
can be typed" within an hour or two.
In the case of such specimens, if the
verdict is positive, the messenger can
take the appropriate serum back with
him, and it can be administered with
out further delay.
"The laboratories are at convenient
ly accessible centers. The Central
Laboratory which serves the counties
near Baltimore City is at the head
quarters of the Department. Similar
service is available at the branch
laboratories at Allegany, Cumberland,
Hagerstown, Hurlock and Rockville"

THE HISTORY OF THE DAY
OF THANKSGIVING

Thanksgiving Day. Turkeys, cram
berry sauce, pumpkin pie, sweets,
nuts and all kinds of delectable fruits.
What delight those thoughts bring to
our mind. In fact, what glee they
bring to the minds of all North Am
orleans.
Thanksgiving is a holiday which is
observed throughout the United States
and Canada. In the United States
since 1864, Thanksgiving has fallen
on the last Thursday in November.
Before that time it was not a national
holiday but state holiday which was
observed whenever the governor of
that state chose to proclaim it. Some
people boast of eating four Thanks
giving dinners in as many states. In
1864, however, President Lincoln set
the regular date for Thanksgiving.
In Canada no particular day is set
apart for Thanksgiving but it is usu-
ally observed on the first Monday in
October, because the harvest there is
earlier than ours. If harvest comes
before that, though, Thanksgiving is
moved up accordingly.
AS everyone knows, the first day
of Thanksgiving was in 1921. An old
account of that occasion says: "Our
harvest being gotten in, our Govern
or sent four men on fowling, so that
we, might after more special man.
ner rejoyce together after we had
gathered the fruit of our labors. The
four in one day killed as much fowl
as, with a little help beside, served
the Company almost week."
We find that some of the Plymouth
Colonists gathered in the meeting
house, beginning some half an hour
before nine and continued until after
twelve o'clock, with psalm-singing,
prayer and sermon. Then some max
ing merry to creatures, the poorer
sort being invited of the richer"
During the Revolutionary War, the
Continental Congress appointed De-
cember 10, 1777, to be observed gen
orally as a Thanksgiving Day" for
the surrender of Burgoyne.
In 1889 President Washington rec
ommeded that November 2B, 1889, be
kept as a day of national thanks
giving for the establishment Of a
