for the bountfu harves and other material blessings be-
slowed upon them By kind Providence.
The giving Of thanks however did not first have its
inception in America, but old man and mans wor-
ship Of Divinity AS far back history records, men OF all
nations have offered up prayers Of Thanksgiving TO the
Dvintes they worshpped and in many instances have
supplemented their giving thanks with gifts of their har
vests and material increase the form Of tithes to God
This practice OF giving oneenth Of their increase to God
is still observed to-day BY individuals of many religious
denominations and it is one Of the most genuine expires
sons Of real thankfulness.
Many Of Is have but little Of material possessions
give due to the depressed economic conditions under
which 50 many millions forced to live but
all be thankful heart and try express thankful
ness By doing what we can to others.
We should never cease to be thankful for the adj
vantages and opportunities we have although they be
more We are likely to receive.
AT this Thanksgiving season, Of the Detroit Tri-

of readers advertisers and other loyal friends for the
encouragement and support they have given and Civ

to merit their support and confidence and at the
time Increase our capacity to serve.

THANKSGIVING

The day before Thanksgiving was
fair.
And folk were rushing here and
there.
In the kitchen there was a big sour
~.
Everybody seemed in hurry
1t was the day for Thanksgiving.
1t was very frosty and cold.
And the wind was very bold;
1t would bite your toes and nip
your nose.
1t was Thanksgiving day.
On Thanksgiving all sat down TO
eat:
The linen was clean
The silver was polished,
And everything was nice and neat.
There were chicken. turkey and
cake,
And lots OF nice stuff;
Everyone just ate and ate,
Until all had eaten more than
enough
That's a Thanksgiving Day.
