"eVS'F.OOnneAy that each year he Chief Executive Of our govern nnent sets aside a day of universal thanksgiving to God for the many blessings which He has poured so generously upon us.
 THANKSGIVING, 19a2
 Tn the year that has gone since last Thanksgiving the nation has seen some of the darkest days in her history, Perhaps there wells up tn some hearts the protest that in the miseries and sufferings and hardships of war we have no need for c day of Thanksgiving for we have little for which we might offer thanks,
 But facing the facts honestly we must confess that in spite of all our faults and sins, individual, national and social, Almighty God has been good to us as a nation even in the year that has gone. While many na- tions of the world, indeed none of them more guilty than we, are en- veloped in the stark tragedy that is the battle-ground of war, our coun- try has hardly been touched by the flames of the conflict. We have been spared the domination of our coun- try by the enemy. We have been de- livered from the bombings of our cities, the killing of our citizens, the blackout of freedom and the bangs of hunger, cold and disease which have devastated a large area of the earth. Even on this sad Day of Thanksgiving in l942 we have many reasons to go to our knees in prayers of gratitude to Almighty God.
 THE APPROPRIATE MESSAGE
 Many years ago in the midst of the desolation of another war a great President of the United States wrote the appropriate message for our Thanksgiving Day. The war was the civil strife which rent the na- tion asunder and the President, the great Lincoln, who readily recog- nized the significance of the suf- ferings inflicted on his people.
 We have been the recipients" he wrote in his message to the nation, "of $he choicest bounties of Heaven. We have been preserved these many yeaEs in peace and prosperity. We have grown in numbers, wealth and power as no other nation has ever grown; but we have forgotten God We have forgotten the gracious hand that preserved us in peace, and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us; and We have vain ly imagined in the deceitfulness of our hearts that all these blessings were produced by some superior wis., iom and virtue of our own. IntoXi- .ated with unbroken success, we have become too self sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us.
 "It behooves us then to humble ourselves before the offended Power, to confess out national sins, and to pray for clemency and forgiveness. still have confidence that the AL

TIRE INSPECTION DRAWS SUSPICION
Motorists Take Wrong Slant on Service Says
 War Information Office

Hartford, Nov. 24 There's no- thing mysterious about the tire in- spection service which goes into ef- feet with mileage rationing, though some motorists are little inclined to view the inspection with suspi- cion, the Office of War Informa- ton, Connecticut News Bureau, said today.
 The facts are that the Office of Price Administration and the Rub Der Administration want to make the rubber in Americas tires stretch just as far as possible. Passenger auto tires are about to have their ills diagnosed frequently and with great care as part of the nations rubber conservation plan. Skilled tire service men will be able to de- tect weaknesses which might de- velop in such manner as to make the tire worthless except for junk.
 The least cut or bruise will be sent up for immediate attention, and the whole service to the motorists will probably go forward with less inconvenience than an ordinary car grease job, and at cost so small as to make it bargain to the car owner in terms of extended tire life.
 Details of the inspection are as follows: Check of ration book and tire inspection record; listing of serial numbers of all tires on car: check for correct air pressure in each tire; recording of speedometer mileage reading on tire inspection record; check for bent rims and out of true wheels; check for cuts or breaks in tire sidewalks and treads. Check general condition of tires for cuts, breaks and evidences of wear | from badly aligned wheels, faulty
