Well, Sir, the old gentleman, whose
portrait stands at the head of this
column, has written to me to ask if
/ couldn't do something about the
Presidents threat to move Thanksgiv-
ing Day back Cor forward, which is
it?) Anyhow, according to the fiat
from the White House, the day Of
feasting may come this year on No
vember 90 instead of on the 30th of
same month.
Now old Mr.. Gobbler says it's bad
enough to look forward to ones dis
solution at any particular date, but
to have ones short tenure of life cut
down seven days earlier than was ex-
peced- why it's enough to make one
sort of purplish gray around the gills.
Old Mr.. Turk says to live in such a
state of dread expectancy is enough
to make him lose flesh, and by the
time the 2Srd arrives, he won't be fit
to eat-aId he hopes he won't.
But I don't see what I'm going to
do about it. You see, Francis Delano
pronounced on first syllable, please)
was informed by some taIler that
when he was waving salutes to peo-
pie standing here and there on Market
street, was not there-I was on the
point Of reaching a successful con-
clusion of a game of solitaire, and I
just couldn't leave it, that's all. I am
aware-and so is he-that it is not
usual for concentration on card
game to take precedence over the
history-making event of presidents
visit to ones native burg; but he had
MT asked for me when he came in, so
I felt free to play my cards to the
bitter end-it was more thrilling.
So, guess my influence will not
serve to gain reprieve for the
Thanksgiving Day bird, even though
there may be a doubt as to whether
roast turkey and ''punkin" pies may
be ripe enough to eat. wish I did
know the way into the Presidential
favor little better. I think I might
ask him to exercise his powers in date
manipulation in many and various
ways. I wish he'd come down here and
cut few decades off the years of my
pilgrimage here below-and make me
a child again. wish he would re-
verse his magic hand and create a
moratorium for those notes that will
come due inside the walls of these
heartless banks. I wish he would add
a few hours to the nights so that the
burning sun would not show its shin
