The Spirit of Thanksgiving

So 1ASAH
Oh give thanks unto the Lord
for He is good, and His merry en-
dunsth forever Our idea OF ma
iional thanksgiving developed from
the colonial times. After a winter
ef intense suffering and loss of
lives, God brought, with the fol
lowing spring, friendship and food
to those sainted Puritan Pilgrims.
When summer was ended they had
corn and other provisions were
available. When the governor
looked back at the previous win
ter's experience and present on
ditions, he thought it good to pro
claim a period of thanksgiving to
Almighty God.
Since that time, different days
and dates have been set and chang
ed, but the spirit still lives. Once
each year, one day, the last Thurs
day of November is set aside as
National Thanksgiving. With
many people, God receives more
thanks on this day for all other
days together. With others, Thanks
giving has become a day of mere
feasting and revealing but God gets
no pleasure out of such.
Everyone who loves God thanks
Him daily for this unspeakable
gift, but let us as a nation thank
Him for changing conditions, for
our President and Ccgress, for re
lief and relief work and sush jobs
that has blessed some with. These
may not be all you expect, but we
were and could not be worse off.
We could have been destroyed by
the flood of last winter, or by
wan or by disease, war and mur
der. but God is merciful and long
suffering to us, for which We give
thanks. Let each person cry:
"Biess the Lord o my soul and
forget not ali his benefits bless him
all that is within me, praise HIS
Holy name"

Keep Young and Beau iful
(By Althouse Beauty SCHOOL,

Cleanliness of the Scalp and Hair
Now that the fall of the year is
definitely over, and old man win
ter with his ice, snow and chilly
winds, are "just around the corn
err we find a decided decrease in
our beauty work patronage. rs
peeialiy is this true of our sham
poo department. just why is this =?
One main reason for shampooing
the hair is to keep the scalp and
hair clean and in a condition of
health. If this is true, and it is,
then the hair and scalp should be
sampooed as often in the winter
as in summer.
This statement naturally brings
up the question as to how often
should a head of hair be shampoo
ed? We have been told for years
that it would ruin our hair, if we
washed it too much; and under no
condition should we shampoo our
hair more than once a month, then
every ten DAYS. This is not a.
ways true. Since the main object
or purpose of the shampoo is
cleanliness of the scalp and hair,
then the hair should be shampooed
whenever it becomes dirty.
This of course, must necessarily
be determined by the health of the
individual condition of the scalp
spd hair. Climatic conditions, loca
ton of our dwelling and the nature
of the work in which we find our
selves engaged.

Adolf Hitler Is Deied
by Madrid Government

M7HEN the German steamer
w Palos was captured by Span
ish loyalists at Bilbao because it
carried war munitions supposedly
destined for the Franco forces, the
Berlin government demanded it's
release under threat of reprisal.
But the Basque authorities defied
Hitler and decided to hold the ves-
sci. This put up to the fuehrer the
decision as to whether he would
send to the rebels the co., armed
men they have asked, and all Eu-
rope waited uneasily for his an
SWer.
1t was believed Hitler would avoid
war measures in this crisis, and
both Great Britain and France were
hopeful that he would preserve
peace because they have offered to
help his economic and colonial
needs in return for noninterVention
in the Spanish conflict. However,
informed German sources said the
Anglo-French note sent Christmas,
urging a cessation of German vol
unteer enlistments for Spain had
come too late, and that Germany
will permit and even encourage a
continuance of such enlistments.

Teachers Treat
Servic

AS schools all over the world
break upon st. Thomas day, it
is a great occasion for children. In
Denmark it is customary to allow
children to do almost as they like,
and near Antwerp they rise early,
run to school, and lock the master
out till he promises to treat them.
In other parts of Belgium, parents,
servants, and schoolmasters are
locked out, the teacher being
chaired to the nearest inn where
he is forced to pay for cakes and
punch. In Germany, ST. Thomas
day is a great day for forecasting
the future. Thousands of young wom-
en- visit aStrologers, palmistS, and
clairvoyants, to learn what the COM
ing year has in store. In West
phalia they eat and drink to capac-
ity as a sign that they hope to
escape scarcity within the next
twelve months.-Tit-Bits Magazine.
