Hello, Folks:
Something to Remember: The
first American Thanksgiving was
in 1921, at Plymouth, only 10
months after the landing. IT'S said
the Governor sent four men out
fowling and they killed in one day
so much fowl as, with little help
beside, served the company almost
a week. Among the fowl brought
in was a great store of turkeys
Thus begins the sad history in this
country of the rise and annual fall
on Thanksgiving days of that ex-
allied biped-the American turkey
and the mad scramble to get the
king of birds goes on from year
to year. Here's hoping each one
gets his fill this year!

A certain Mpls. young lady

hoped Charles would be at the
Mayor of Bonneville Ball, cause
she would be thrilled beyond words

dance. Zip: She will be wearing a
