Ypsilantl residents today were
observing the Thanksgiving holiday

cities, in army camps, on ships or
in iungles, had invited other sol
diers to share their repasts.
That Ypsilantians are engaged in
celebration of real home holt
day is seen in absence Of police re-
ports which usually follow wild"
celebration of holidays. There were
virtually no accidents, no arrests,
and but two fires.
Stabbed In Back
The only mystery injected into
the law enforcement reports over
night was that surrounding the

two metal boxes was reported Wed
