On this first peace-time Thanks
giving Day in four years we can
think of nothing nicer with which
to end this column than the collect
used by the Federation of Women's
Clubs:
Keep us, o God, from pettiness;
let us be large in thought, in word,
in deed -
Let US be done with fault-finding,
and leave off self-seeking.
May we put away all pretense
and meet each other face to face
without self pity and without pre-
judice.
May we be never hasty in judy
ment and always generous.
Let us take time for all things;
make us to grow calm, serene,
gentle.
Teach us to put into action our
better impulses, straightforward
and unafraid.
Grant that we may realize that
it is the little things that create
differences; That in the big things
of life, we are as one.
And may we strive to touch and
to know the great common human
heart of us all; and Oh, Lord God,
let us not forget to be kind.

MONTGOMERY STDELIGHTS
By ELSIE WHITE HAINES

Did you ever see "moon bow?
Well you could have had you been
out of doors on Monday evening
around seven and looked to the
Northwest. There stretched in an
arc across the dark sky was the
ghost Of a rainbow. "Gordy" rush
ed in from next door to tell us of
the queer looking rainbow in the
dark. Gazing at it we realized
that we were seeing "moonbow"
which is rarely seen save in a
certain section of Kentucky in this
country, we are told, and at Vic
toria Falls in Africa. 1t was rain
ing gently and the rays of the
full moon caused the phenomenon
as the suns rays produces the rain
bow.
Emerson Slacum, principal of
the Gaithersburg High School,
stated at the PIT. A. meeting on
Monday evening, that every child
in the school would have real
Thanksgiving dinner on Tuesday.
This meal, to be served at 25c per
pupil, included turkey, dressing,
cranberries, potatoes, sauer kraut,
pumpkin pie and milk. The cafe
terra employees worked until late
in the afternoon Monday baking
40 pies and $50 pounds of turkey,
and they were on the job bright
and early Tuesday morning bak-
ing more turkey and pies so there
would be no chance of running
short.
OF course you all know that
every child had his Thanksgiving
dinner regardless of the twenty
five cents. Perhaps other school
cafeterias did the same sort of
thing these cafeterias are self
supporting. But can you think of
nicer thing to do for Thanks
giving?
