age of electric power and materials.

THANK SGIVING

People in thirty-one states to-
day celebrate Thanksgiving. But
whether we celebrate Thanksgiv-
ing today or next Thursday, we
should all be thankful that We
have a day set aside in which to
give thanks.
The American people have
much to be thankful for-prob-
ably more than any other people
in the world At the present time
we are at peace with the world
as far as actual fighting is con-
cerned. We will not spend
Thanksgiving in bomb proof
shelters but will sit down in our
homes to bountiful dinner,
spend the afternoon at a foot ball
game, try our luck at hunting OF
some other form of diversion. If
we wish to work, we may do so,
speak or write our opinions free
ly and be at peace with our fell
low citizens.
For these and many other rea-
sons this day should be made the
most thankful Of all Thanksgiv-
ings, and our prayers should go
up for those people who are less
fortunate than we.

Leslie Deel Has
Narrow Escape
From Drowning
Is Thrown Into Diver When Car
Leaves Bridge. Body of Friend
Not Yet Found

Miss Leslie Deel, formerly of
ClintWood and now nurse in the
Johnston-Willis Hospital, Rich
mond, narrowly escaped death
from drowning on last Friday
night when an automobile in
which she was riding plunged
through a washed out span of a
bridge in Lunenburg county and
into the river. Miss Deel freed
herself and reached the shore
without serious injury. The body
of her companion, Oscar Fetig of
Aichmond, has not been found.
Miss Deel said that she and
Fetig visited her aut, Mrs. Sterl-
ing Neblett, in Lunenburg coun-
ty Friday and were en- route to
Richmond shortly after o'clock.
She said that both she and Fetig
saw the washed out span as they
drove upon the bridge but too late
to stop.
Later reports indicate that Miss
Deel was in the water for more
than an hour but finally in some
manner which she does not recall,
she reached shore and made her
way to the cabin of a negro. Ne
in turn went forhelp and Miss
Deel was taken back to the home
of her sister, Mrs. Stirling Neb-
lett.
In recounting her story a day
or so later, Miss Deel says she
doesn't know for certain just how
she extricated herself from tbs
submerged car. She thinks she
was either pushed up through the
open car Windo. why her compan
ion, or was washed out by the
waves.
Hiss Deel's escape was miracu-
lous, and to date the car or her
companion have not yet beer
found. Her many friends are glad
to learn of her escape from death.
