THANKSGIVIN CUSTOMS HAVE
CHANGED SINCE FIRST ONE IN 1921

found so many turkeys they kill
ed enough in one day to last for
an entire week. The tables were
loaded with game, and fish and
wild fruits from the forest, corn
bread, and vegetables from the
new gardens. The time was in
October just after the harvest in.
stead of in November as is now
the custom. The feast tables were
covered with damask and lace.
Next came the turkey, juicy and
golden bronze. The turkeys had
been covered with clay and roast
ed to a delicious tenderness in
hot ashes. The Indians were the
guests at the first American
harvest festival of the Pilgrim
fathers. Oh such a feast as they
had the first Thanksgiving.
The following year misfortune
met the Thanksgiving. With empty
larders the people had been count
ing the days until the spring
sown crops would produce the
Thanksgiving dinner, but the heavy
drouth caused the corn to weather.
After a very sad day a refreshing
rain greeted the lands and about
the same time ship loaded with
values and supplies was sighted.
This caused much happiness, no
doubt. We find no account,
though, that tells us of feasting
following the ships visit.
1t was not, however, until 10
year later in 1886 that we cele-
brated a Thanksgiving such as we
have today. The colonists Of
Scituate in the Plymouth Colony
gathered in the meeting house for
singing, prayer and sermons until
IL o'clock. Then followed the
psalm singing, and merry making.
This was the first time that giving
thanks had been mentioned, al
though perhaps the early settlers
did give thanks for their Thanks
giving.
In the course of the Revolution
ary war the Continental Congress
appointed Dec. 18, 1777, to be OBJ
served generally as Thanksgiving
Day, in consequence OF the sur
render of Burgoyne. President
Washington later issued a procla-
nation recommending Nov. 26,
1889, to be kept as the National
Thanksgiving" During this time
Thanksgiving had just been cele-
brated in the New England states,
but in 1864 the day was celebrat-
ed in the southern states. Presi-
dent Lincoln then issued a procla-
nation and fixed the last Thursday
in November as the Thanksgiving
day.
The Thanksgiving most Of us
remember is our mothers prepar-
ing the dinner many weeks ahead.
The traditional food was being
prepared, but perhaps not in the
same manner as In earlier times.
Then when the final day arrived
relatives would come and all the
women would help finish up the
preparation of the meal. Everyone
was busy from Grandpa to little
Tod, each having his job.
Each year the Thanksgiving
customs have changed in certain
ways. For instance the turkey is
prepared differently, but it is still
delicious. We have more convent
ences since the first Thanksgiving
but we probably eat just as much
But since SO many things are
happening in the world today be
fore we forget we should all join
on this day, 21st Of November, in
giving thanks for a free America

frothy white or pastel frills. It is
designed especially to make "a to 48

pattern that she can make for her
self If she has any aptitude at all
for sewing. Design No. 1868 in
cludes a play suit-sports shirt and
pleated shorts-with a suspender
skirt that transforms it into school
or spectator sports fashion. OF
course, the skirt may be worn with
her other blouSes, too. All three
parts of this very practical pattern
fit to perfection and are most be-
coming to growing girls. Make Up
this design in gingham, gabardine
or broadcloth-all one color or con-
trast-or, for strictly sports and
knockabout, choose denim.
Many, many pretty aprons will
grow, under your busy fingers, from

yourself, aprons to give away at
birthday and bridge parties, aprons
to sell at club and church bazaars.
The pinafore is the type everybody
likes. 1t goes on easily over the
head, ties at the waistline with no
tricky cross-buttoning effects and
stays securely put on the shoulders.
Very becoming, too, because it is
slim-Waisted, braid-trimmed and
has pretty flare. Just leave of
the top and you have the sweet
little tie-around, especially pretty
edged with ricrac. Gingham, linen,
batiste and percale are the best
cottons for aprons.

III. S. FACES
new PERIOD
OF DEPRESSION
By SCOTT NEARING
Federated Press)

Business conditions improved rapid
ly in the U. S. after July 1889. The
depression that began in the middle
of 1888 had worn itself out.
There was some increase in building
and growing demand for machinery
in special lines such as airplane con-
struction. The speedup in military
preparedness and the war orders of
Japan and China did their bit A bust
ness upturn was evidently on the way
The outbreak of the European war
lifted business out of the depression.
Users of metals, of rubber and other
materials needed in the war zones
bought largely in anticipation of
scarcity and rise in prices. House
wives stocked up on sugar and other
supplies.
Between the first week of Septem-
Der and the middle of November, bust
ness activity moved from depression
to near-1929 prosperity levels. Here,
after decade of waiting, was the pos
sibility of "full recovery"
