OLD THANKSGIVING
 IS COMING BACK

Washington, May 20- tUP) - President Roosevelt decided today that his experiments in changing the date of Thanksgiving have been a failure and htat beginning in 1922 the holiday again will be established on It's traditional date-the last Thursday in November.
 The president said that Thanks giving day this year will be pro- claimed for the next to last Thurs. day in November because 1t now Is to late to revise previous commit- ments to calendar makers and other groups.
 But next year, he said, he will pro. claim Thanksgiving day for the final Thursday of November, the day on which the holiday had been cele- brated until 1899 when he changed 1t.
 The president was frank in admlt- ting that his shift in dates had pdoved failunre. He described 1t as an superintendent experiment that did not work.

BLAZE IN INDIAN RIVER
CAUSES .$2,500 DAMAGE

Fire of undetermined origin, pos
/ sibly due to a defective chimney or
an electric light wire, damaged the
farm house of J. Francis Truitt, in
Indian River District, on Tuesday
afternoon, entailing loss of about
so 500. Georgetown firemen respond
ed to the call within ten minutes
and started to battle the blaze
which threatened for a time the to-
tai destruction of the home. FOrtu-
nately, a drainage canal, made
possible a few months ago by the
WPA, was located about $50 yards
from the burning property. Fire
men ran their hose line to the bur-
ming building and utilized the water
in the drainage project and thus
saved its destruction. While fire.
men were battling the flames, the
furniture was removed to a place of
safety. The roof was burned off.
but the flames did not reach, it is
to the second story or
the bedrooms. Considerable dam
age was done by water. The Truitt
home, located between Georgetown
and Springfield Cross Roads, was
one of the outstanding farm homes
in that section. 1t is believed that
in addition to the fire that consid-
erable damage was done to the
by water. The home, it
is estimated, was possibly valued
at $4,000
In order to avoid trouble from
electric light wires, e. Warren Hol-
son, connected with the Eastern
Shore Public Service Company, and
,ne of the outstanding members of
he Georgetown Fire Company,
climbed the pole and disconnected
he wires and then, as a fireman,
'ushed into the house and started
o handle the hose. Going into the

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCHES

Christian Science Church Service
Report for Sunday, June %. Sub
iect: Is the Universe, Including
Man, Evolved by Atomic Force?
Golden Text: Psalms 95:3, 4. The
Lord is a great God, and a great
King above all gods. In his hand
are the deep places of the earth:
the strength of the hills is his also.
A Bible Citation from the Lesson
Sermon: Eph. 2:S-10. For by grace
are ye saved through faith; and
that not of yourselves: it is the
gift of God: 9. Not of works, lest
any man should boast. 10. For we
are his workmanship, created in
Christ Jesus unto good works,
which God hath before ordained
that we should walk in them.
CorreIative from the Textbook,
Science and Health with Key TO
the Scriptures" by Mary Baker
Eddy: Being is holiness, harmony,
immortality. 1t is already proved
that a knowledge of this, even in
small degree, will uplift the physi-
cal and moral standards of mortals,
will increase longevity, will purify
and elevate character. Thus pro-
gress will finally destroy all err
ror, and bring Immortality to light |
Man is deathless, spiritual.
He is above sin or frailty. He does
not cross the barriers of time into
the vast forever of Life, but he |
co-exists with God and the uni-
verse.
