Hitters Let
Trout Down
BY LEO MACDoNELL

Paul DIZZY Trout is not likely
pitched as
well as that one at Briggs Stadium
yesterday. when he held the
Browns 10 six scattered hits.
But the bats of his mates failed
him In the clutches and the Ii
gers were licked by the Browns,
2 10 |, IN the opening game of
the league season.
Notwithstanding winter tinge.
a crowd of 2S,034 paid customers,
more than 10000 bigger than
that which turned out for the
home opener last year, saw the
festivities.
Besides the game itself, there
were the time-honored band blair
ing martial airs, fag-raiSing and
the appearance Of a mayor on the
pitching mound
Two homerS spanked the contest
one by Vernon Stephens. which
locked up the game for the
Browns, and the other by Pinky
Higgins. which prevented the Ii
gers from being shut out.

THANKSGIVING DAY

President Roosevelt last week proclaimed Thursday, Nov
%, as Thanksgiving day and urged Americans to observe il
with prayers of thanks for "the preservation of our way OF
life from the threat of destruction" and for "the promise OF
an enduring peace"
Calling on the people to back up their prayers "by bend
ing every effort to hasten the day of final victory" MIR. Roose-
welt suggested a nationwide reading of holy scriptures during
the period from Thanksgiving day until Christmas.
"In this year of liberation, which has seen so many mil
lions freed from tyrannical rule" the president said, ut is
fitting that we give thanks with special fervor to our Heavenly
Father for the mercies we have received individually and as a
nation and for the blessings He has restored, through the vic
tories of our arms and those of our Allies, to his children ir
other lands.
"For the preservation of our way of life from the threat
of destruction: for the unity of spirit which has kept our nation
strong; for our abiding faith in freedom; and for the promise
OF an enduring peace, we should lift up our hearts in thanks
giving.
"For the harvest that has sustained us and in it's full
ness, brought succor to other peoples; for the bounty of our
soil, which has produced the sinews of war for the protection
of our liberties; and for a multitude of private blessings, known
only in our hearts, we should give united thanks to God"

looming regularly as clockwork and
is mighty acceptable. There are
three of us here from Billings,
Lieut.. Col. j.. A. Petentler, First
Lieut. Arthur Langman and I, who
read and enjoy it.
Actually we get along very well
here. Our living conditions are
good, and such luxuries as candy,
cigarettes and beer are probably
more common with us than in many
places in the States. Still there
are not many of us who have gone
around looking for a real estate
man to sell us a permanent resid-
ence in India.
l. This is a country in which one
would have to be resigned to sitting
and letting the world go by, if he
were to enjoy it. Those who have
lived here a long time have learn
ed to wait for someone else to do
the smallest chores for them. 1
talked to a man who told me he
hadn't taken his own shoes off for
years.
There r just enough bugs and
flies here so that the effort of
keeping them off is work enough.
1t definitely is no place to work
very hard pushing ones own small
share of a war and enjoying it,
even in the present excitement of
seeing the BIOS prove a success,
which they evidently are doing.
Since I last wrote you from South
America, I've seer a lot of country.
1t has been very interesting, but
just convinces me that home is the
place to get to as soon as possible.
That seems to be the concensus of
opinion of all the men, doesn't it?
Thanks again for the paper.
