With one vacant seat at the gather

his 55th birthday anniversary next

who have been helping him celebrate
that occasion for these last 20 years.

keen wit and kind heart, will not be

Most of those in the party are men
whose friendship with the President
dates back to the days when he was
Assistant Secretary of the Navy dur
ing the World War. They were news
paper men assigned to that Depart
ment then. Later several of them
travelled with Mr.. Roosevelt in the
strenuous compaign for the Vice
Presidency that he made on the ticket
with James M. Cox in 1920. Most of
them aren't working for newspapers
any more.
In the group that has most fire.

and Marvin H. MacIntyre, two of his
secretaries: Kirke L. Simpson Of
Washington and Thomas Lynch and
Stanley Prenosil of New York

game. Later, stunts featured the fes-
tivities. But of recent years they have
gone in for conversation, stories and
"reminiscences. These men have seen
many things. There are plenty Of
stories they can tell.
Last year, and at other times in the
past, other guests were present also,
intimate friends or members of the
Presidents official family, among
them the personal secretaries of Mr..
and Mrs. Roosevelt.

have five candles on it, just enough

The charge was made at hearing
conducted by william M. Dawson,
special master in the case, to de-
termine legal heirs of Mrs. Garrett.
, Clinton A. Sewers, one of the ex-
sminers assisting Dawson, offered the
copy of the death certificate of Mrs.
CARROTS brother, John Schaefer, into
evidence.
This showed that in answer to a
question as to the name of John
Schaefer's mother, there was written
in ink what appeared to be Henrietta
Citerebaman."
Under "Citerebaman" was printed
with an indelible pencil the same name.
Above it, however, was the word
"Kretschmar" scribbled rather care
lessly in pencil.

Knauer, whose clients claim kim

Is deliberate attempt at alteration
and change-but whoever did this
didn't realize that the original GER
tificate was on file at Harrisburg"
Sewers then produced photostatic
copy of the original certificate, on file
at the State capital.
This had the name Henrietta
Kretscnmar" given as the mother Of
John Schaefer.
Knauer offered interment records to
show that John was not the only
brother of Mrs. Garrett.
The hearings will be resumed next

Several more Thanksgiving day
proclamations were made in the fol-
lowing years; then under Jefferson
they were forgotten. But those SEN
timents of Washington's original
proclamation became a creed gen.
erations later to Sarah Josepha
Hale, editor of the highly influential
Godey's Lady's Book, the magazine
with the quaint and colorful fashion
prints which today decorate lamp
shades and hang in picture frames
in thousands Of homes.
This cultured, energetic little
woman devoted large share Of her
time to her plan to make Thanks
giving day an annual national holi-
day. She wrote literally thousands
of personal letters to governors urg-
ing that their states unite in observ-
ing Thanksgiving day. She fore
saw the coming of the Civil war,
and she looked upon national
Thanksgiving day, uniformly cele-
brated by all of the states, as con-
ducive toward peace.
But it was not until after the war
had started that she succeeded in
obtaining a Presidential proclama-
ton from Abraham Lincoln.
A national proclamation has gone
forth in each of the IA years since
that time. If we are happy about
it, let us give thanks this Thanks

WHEAT SITUATION - Wheat
prices during the next few months
will depend largely on changes IN
crop prospects in Argentina and
Australia, Soviet Russia's policy
regarding exports, the tenseness of
the political situation in Europe,
reports on the area sown and pro-
gress of next years crops in the
Northern Hemisphere, and do
mestic business conditions. For
several weeks the decline in stock
prices has depressed wheat prices,
and general business sentiment will
continue to affect wheat prices.
FRUIT SUPPLY = With much
larger than average fruit supplies
in prospect for market during the
winter months, prices throughout
the winter marketing season are
expected to be generally low. The

of which this year are of near rec
ord proportions. The prospective
orange supply for winter and

record; the grapefruit crop is indi-
Gated to be the second largest, ex-

crop is expected to be the largest
