Thanksgiving Creed
By DIR. Charles StelxIe

In religion, Thanksgiving is just as i'm
portant as Faith. With Thanksgiving
Jet your requests be made known to
God" the apostle wrote. We ask and
receive not, because We have failed to
thank God for what He has already Civ
en-. We are like careless children who
grab what is offered them without say
ing Thank YOU
If you were to study the Bible in con-
nection with the subject of prayer you
would find that thanksgiving is one Of
the essentials of receiving This is not
SO because God wishes to humiliate US
but because He has chosen to develop our
characters by being grateful
Ingratitude is always a sign Of small
ness or immaturity Of character, A really
big man is always ready to acknowledge.
his indebtedness to the humbIest person
who may have assisted him. To be thank
ful, therefore, is an indication Of su-
premacy rather than one of inferiority

This showed that he was grateful to men
But he was chiefly thankful to God fol
these men. and for his associates. y
thank my God for you all he wrote to
The Romans.
Paul was also grateful for what God
mad done for others, and this was sign
ot still greater gratitude than merely
thanking God for what had been done
for himself. This was shown when he
said:
I thank my God always on your be-
halt, tor the grace Of God which is given
you by Jesus Christ; that in everything
We are enriched by Him"
Here then is an outline of what might
be built into Thanksgiving creed:
thank all men for what they have done
for me. >
| thank God for what He has done for me-
| thank God for what He has done for
my fellowmen.

Thanksgiving

Once again our attention is turned to a
day set apart for special thanks Years
ago, this day had truely sacred signifi-
canoe. 1t was not a time for merrymak-
ing but rather one for prayer and medi-
tation. With the pass Of time and So
called progress mans emotions have been
deadened and what was once practically
a religious period has now become one
Tor commercialization Possibly this
change may be good for we should be
thinkful every day for the many blessings
we are permitted to enjoy The question
is, however, are we really thankful 1t
is not essential that we have plenty of
everything. Some might have money,
others, health, good vision, comfortable
home, adequate food and clothing, the
company of loved ones and numerous
other desired things. Any Of these IA
vors or a combination is adequate for re-
joicing.

Tnis is said not only in protest against
discrimination but also in recognition of
the very large contribution to national
defense which may be expected of Negro
pilots.
The first requisite of military flyer
is quick nervous responses. He should
have superior sense of balance, excel
lent muscular coordination, a good sem
sory apparatus, sound body. In short
the qualities which make good athlete
are required of flyer Of course he
should have physical and moral courage
as well. In all Of these qualifications
Negroes have given ample demonstration
Of their fitness. A race which has pro-
duced, in the span of few years, Joe
Louis, Henry Armstrong, Jesse Owens,
Jefferson of Northwestern, Ozzie Sim
mons of Iowa. substantial number OF
Golden Gloves champions, and score
OF other absolutely top-notch athletes,
provides rich resource which ought not
to be lost to the country thru prejudice
IN the face Of this roster of world cham
plons the physical fitness and courage OF
their race cannot be questioned by any
reasonable man.
The record suggests that the country
would lose less by refusing to train Har-
ward, Yale, and Princeton men for the
dying corps than by refusing to train
Negroes.

Negro Pilots

At recent hearing of the house ap-
propriations committee, Representative
Ludlow of Indiana called attention to
recent act of congress requiring that fa-
cilities be made available for the train
ing of Negro airplane pilots for the army.
Asked by Mr.. Ludlow what had been
done to carry out this mandate, Gen.
Marshall, chief of staff, replied that
there is no such thing as colorad avia-
ton at this time" He suggested that
the start should be made by the Civil
Aeronautics authority.
1t is to be hoped that Mr.. Ludlow will
see to it that the intention Of congress is
not defeated by burocratic buck-passing.

HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va.
-Commending the work of the
nationwide Conference on the
Participation of the Negro in Ma

at Hampton Institute, Hampton,
Virginia, on November 25 and 26.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt
has asked that he be allowed to
study the suggestions and recon.

His attitude was revealed in a
letter to DIR. Malcolm S. Mac.

dent Roosevelt says:
1T is heartening to know that
in this time Of stress and strain,

ed in a mighty effort to grid itself
against any challenge which q

and your associates at Hampton
Institute are to hold a two-day
onference on the participation

"A great soldier, Major Hugh
1. Scott, said that the best way
to hold the Negroes loyalty was
to see that he had no wrongs
to brood over. General Scott
believed in fortifying precept
with example. He selected q
young Negro lieutenant, promot-
ed him captain, and attached him
TO his staff with instructions to
spend his time among the various
organizations of colored men to
investigate possible sources OF
grievances. When this officer
unearthcd a complaint which ne
could see was unfounded, his
duty was to handle it by himself;
when he found what appeared to
him to be a legitimate grievance
his orders were to report it to

By DIR. ALBERT S. HAND

When the late Ebert Hubbard,
the sage Of the Roycrofters was
storing up in his Scrap Book the
fruits Of other mems S genius, he
was actuated by desire to gath
er spiritual provisions for his own
refreshment and delectation.
/ have often wondered how
many of us make any effort to
hold to or to preserve some
worthwhile thought or word for
our subsequent inspiration.
Not long ago, heard a prom
inent radio minister of Chicago
relate The following story. Years
ago there was a powerful and
wealthy king who became afflic-
ted His wise men and physicians
We're unable to cure his malady.
Eventually, soothsayer, who
had been brought to the kings
presence told him, "You will be-
come well again when you secure
| the shoes of happy man" De-
Gliding to accept this advice the
ruler dispatched his trusted rep
resentative with much gold and
| presents on this quest. Months
| passed, the kings emissary went
| from place to place, always he
was confronted by the statement
| of some one that they knew a
happy man but he was in a dis
ant city, Alas, the searcher for
shoes became discouraged. He
feared that if he returned with
ont the shoes that his failure
would cost him his head. There
seemed however, no other alter
native, SO he started his home
ward journey. When he had al
most reached the castle OF his
lord he observed a man ..ylng by
the road side, peacefully sleeping.
And so, the kings messenger
stopped and awakened the man.
The query was one that had been
used day after day, "Are you
happy MANI" The reply was
electric, eyes" The mission seem
ed finally to be fulfilled. Gold,
jewels, incense and costly clothes
were spread on the ground and
offered to the happy man-but

British shipping losses have
been so heavy recently as to lead
many observers to believe that the
destruction Of such shipping may
injure Great Britain's food and
war supplies and bring about
real crisis in the European con-
flict. AS result agitation has
been started for changes in the
Neutrality law to permit Ameri-
can vessels to carry supplies to
England. Such a step would un-
doubtedly lead eventually to the

Labor Relations Act, and other
less important legislation. The
Republican leadership points out
that the President and Admins
tration leaders wanted Congress
to go home last June, stating at
that time that there was no fur
ther work for the national legis-
lative body; and that since June
most of the important National
Defense legislation has been en-
acted. Another attempt to ad-
journ Congress was made by the
Democratic leadership in late
September, only to be blocked by
the Republican minority and a
group of independent Southern
Democrats. 1t now remains to be
seen whether a sufficient number
of Democrats will vote with the
Republicans against adjournment
and to keep Congress in session,
or whether the fact that the elec-
tion is now over and President
Roosevelt is reelected will change
their viewpoint on the question
of adjournment.
