it seems one can hear the tingle
of sleigh bells as Old S. Nick max

Thanksgiving, 1944-323 years af-

again our nation recognizes and
gives thanks for the great privi-

where there is still freedom of
speech, freedom of press and above
all, freedom to worship God.
Thanksgiving Day in Jackson
dawned cool and bright, lovely foot
ball weather and many Jackson
ians, as if feeling more than ever
the need of getting together to
thank God for the many blessings
He has given them, met in churches
of the city in special Thanksgiving
services.
Family gatherings and informal
get-together dinner parties, a foot
ball game between Lanier and
Tougaloo high school and a dance
at the colored skating rink attract
ed the attention of various groups
from noon until midnight.
The local theatres and cafes
seemed to have done extra good
business, the shows all having their
usual holiday crowds and all in
all, Thanksgiving Day in Jackson
was one for which we all can be
thankful.
Perhaps the largest crowd was
at the Lanier Tougaloo game.
Highlight of this game was the
