Family Dinner

Ever since the days of the Pilgrims celebrations of
Thanksgiving and Christmas have centered around fam
lily dinner and the high point of that dinner has been the
serving of large, goldenbrown lucous roasted turkey
We put up with poor facsimilies of a turkey dinner
during the years. We substituted chicken, pork
and other everyday varieties of meat. Sometimes
the trimmings" were substitutes too.
But this it will be different This year the old
fashioned turkey holiday dinner will be back full force
for the turkey flock reported to be the largest history
The American eagle may be the official symbol of
country, but the turkey, too is symbolic of the things
Americans hold dear

So far, strikes affecting the automobile business have
cost the public 100000 automobiles which would other
wise have been delivered in 1945.
That estimate, made by the Automobile Manu-
facturers association, released before any of
the big general strikes threatened by the automobile
unions had taken place. If major strikes do tie up
the industry during the last eight weeks of this year,
the loss will of course be much greater.
In addition to causing delay getting automobiles

There are two friends who live
near Main Street with life expe-
riences much the same until one
was caught up in the vortex OF
war while the other remained
a soldier on the home front. . l..
After a long time the one who went
away. returned but the old
friendship between the two was not
the same. One is chained 10
old habits and thoughts and ways.
while the other has been torn from
all the old familiar moorings and
shocked by the violence OF his ex-
perience into a profound inner
awareness that a world without
ideals is a world OF chaos. :.
The one who remained Is content
with the world as he knows it-a
place In which man strives for Sc
curity and has little time left for
ideals. The two face each
other now across chasm OF oppo-
site thought-both desiring intense
ly the same thing. a world OF con-
tinuing peace. But they have
not yet realized that the material
with which TO build II Is under
standing and their name is
legion. Understanding is the
very foundation OF peace and the
place to start laying the founda-
ton is here and now +. each man

A black woman who lives not
far from Main Street has had
"a heap o. trouble" In her life,
but she has a disposition like
a rubber ball and bounces up
after each blow, smiling.
"How do you manage to keep
so cheerful. Luey?" her en-
ployer asked recently. +. The
black woman broke off her
song to grin. swell 'um,

A Main Street man. back from
overseas, was faced with a prob

During his long months over

would marry when he got home
all plans were made and their
carrying out only awaited his safe
return. But the girl grew i'm

would never end and. quite sud-
denly. she married another man.

A Chevrolet coupe converted in
to a delivery car was Stolen from
Lyle Douglas on Sunday night from
the rear of their store. Mr.. Doug
las had filled the tank in anticspa-
ton of going haying early Mondsy
morning. The tracks show the car
left by way of the street in front
of the Baptist church. 1t is thought
a stranger had driven it away due
to the fact it was on an incline
and anyone knowing the ground
would undoubtedly coasted away.
Mrs. Douglas feels sure she heard
the car start about 1870 but did
not think enough about it at the
time to investigate. The only sus-
pect is stranger picked up by Ray
