News About Stamps

Postmaster General Robert E
Hannegan on Friday announced
that he has approved the issuance
Of stamp to commemorate the
Tooth anniversary of the discovery
of gold in California, also a stamp
in remembrance of Francis Scott
Key, author of "The Star Spangled
Banner"
The latter of these projected addi-

ceptance of The Stars appeal for

he says, would come in handy down

thing being a question Of principle
rather than politics. The result
was, however, that in four davs'
time the deposed Mayor was on
his way to Fort Lafayette, and later,
after % days of confinement, Re
was set at liberty after taking the
oath of allegiance and resignlng
as Mayor Of the city Mayor Wal

ever, soon realized the great in

which he declined, as we'll as other
public Offices of trust.
However, the day set aside for
general Thanksgiving and praise by
Mayor Seaton in 1845 came up fully
to the Mayors expectation, for on
November 20 the Intelligencer car
ried the following item.
Thanksgiving Day.
Thursday last, the day appointed
by the corporate authorities to be
observed as a day Of Thanksgiving
for privileges and blessings enjoyed
during the past year, was observed
in this city with every demonStra-
ton of concurrence and respect.
The public Offices. newspaper Of
fees and shops of every descrip-
ton were all closed during the
day. In the morning the churches
were all filled. and appropriate dis
courses we're delivered by their
pastors: and the afternoon and
evening were characterized by
cheerfulness and friendly inter-
course"
Date Controversy.
Apparently, by 1848 all the States
we're not adopting the same date
for their Thanksgivings and the
press printed one complaint along
this line from a contributor who
signed his communication Union"
and who went on to say:
"Messrs. Editors: I have observed
by the public prints that the re-
spective Governors Of the States of
New Hampshire and Missouri have
set apart, one the 10th and the
other the Oath day OF November
next, to be observed as a day Of
public Thanksgiving. This I deem
to be wrong In two respects First,
all will respond that 1t has been an
object for years to have all the
States unite on the same day, and
last year we were so fortunate as to
obtain "a States out of the whole
number; which. as will be perceived,
is wholly disregarded =.
I'm the second place, neither Of
these States has designated the
right day. Thanksgiving should al
ways be on the last Thursday of
November. First. because of its
appropriateness to the fall months,
and. second, it being at the close
of the fall months, when the crops
are more reasonably supposed to
be all gathered and the heart, there
by, made more sensible Of the bless
ings conferred besides, we can all
better remember the last Thursday
than every other Thursday. These
reasons seem to suggest the last
Thursday; and will not the re-
spected editors OF papers generally
lend a helping hand in settling the
matter right? UNION"
Still within the memory of many.
the holiday was largely given over,
at night, to social events and the
dance places in the city, including
the National Rifles Armory, Odd
Fellows, Marini's and the Washing
ton Light Infantry Hall, were usu-
ally crowded by way of celebrating
THANKSGIVING.

out of war, yet fortunately, actual
fighting has long since ceased, and
for this we should be more than
grateful. OF course, the prices of food
and other commodities are ex-
tremely high, yet, withal, there is a
minimum Of hunger throughout the
land, but the same cannot be said
for countries of Europe and, else
where.
Like all humanity. we have a
tendency toward feeling that our
lot is so much harder than that
of any one else, not taking INTO
consideration, of course, what the
pioneer settlers of this country went
through with when they first came
to this part of North America.
In this connection it is said that
our forefathers of New England
celebrated their first Thanksgiving
Day with heavens blue dome for a
roof and the brown earth for a
floor" They had been so successful
in their efforts to found homes for
themselves in the wilderness, that
their hearts were full of gratitude.
In the mercies they remembered
they forgot the fearful hardships
they had endured, and when the
Indian summer of 1921 came, they
felt themselves moved by fervent
desire to thank God publicly in a
general way for their improved con-
dition and the measure of comfort
granted.
"Our harvests being gotten in,"
says the record of Edward Winslow,
"our Governor sent four men fowl
ing, so that we might, after spe-
cial manner, rejoice together. They,
four in one day, killed as much
fowl, as with a little help beside,
served the company nearly a week.
At which time, among other recrea-
tions, we exercised our arms, many
of the Indians coming amongst us,
among the rest their greatest King,
Massasoyt, with some 80 men. who
for three days we entertained and
feasted, and they (the Indians) went
out and killed five deer, which they
brought to the plantation and be-
slowed on our Governor and on
the Capt. (Myles Standish) and
others. And although it be not
always so plentiful with us, yet by
the goodness of God, we are so far
from want that we often wish you
partakers of our plenty"
Thanksgiving 1s45.
In Washington the first local
Thanksgiving proclamation was is
sued on November IL, 1845, and was
signed by Mayor w. w. Seaton, set
ting forth for this day of observance
Thursday, November 27, of that year.
This proclamation reads:
Now, hereby approving of the OBJ
ject of this Resolution of the City
Councils, and in ready compliance
with the request which it contains,
I hereby appoint Thursday, the 9th
day of the present month, to be OBJ
served in this city as day of gen.
eral thanksgiving and praise to
Almighty God; requesting that all
secular employment may be sus-
pended during the day; that all
ministers of religion and their con-
gregations and all other citizens
may assemble in their respective
places of worship to offer up their
gratitude and praise to the Creator
of the Universe for the manifold
mercies with which He has favored
our country during the past year,

1t was many years before the cele-
bration of Thanksgiving Day be-
came popular, and as late as Novem-
ber IS, 1859, we find in The Star
of that date an item where c. w. c.
Dunnington of the Fifty-seventh
City Council introduces a resolution
in the Board of Aldermen on the
observance of Thanksgiving Day
and recommending an adverse re-
port on this joint resolution. In
this connection the news item goes
on to say:
This institution originated with
New England people who would,
doubtless, instead of observing it as
they should this year, in giving
thanks for the blessings of liberty
and prosperity, spend it in their
churches in giving utterance to
sentiments of discord, and in, max
ing incendiary harangues. and con-
tributing Sharp's rifles, denouncing
the people of one section of the
country, and other acts calculated
to promote, not harmony and union,
but sedition, resurrection and dis
order"
The resolution was lost by vote
Of 5 to T. For observing Thanks
giving. Day were Messrs. Brown,
Clark, Fisher, Moore and Pearson.
Against It's public observance:
Messrs. Dunnington, Donoho, Nc
Nerhany, Magruder, Miller, Price
and Ward
At this time James G. Berret was
Mayor Of Washington and disre-
garded the action of the Board of
Aldermen. He issued his proclama-
ton for Thanksgiving Day, although
he is said to have done so under
pressure.
Mr.. Berret was elected manager
in 1858 and again in 1860, both
times on the Democratic and Anti
Know-Nothing ticket.
His opponent was Richard Wal
ZACH, who ran as an independent,
although Mr.. Tindall lists him as
a Republican. Both men were law
yers. Mr.. Wallach in the 1850
campaign was defeated by "a votes.
Mr.. Berret received 3,434 votes to
Mr.. Wallach's $40.
Mayor Deposed.
When Mr.. Lincoln became Pres
ident, Mayor Berret delivered to
him an address of welcome and es-
corted him to the inaugural ball.
However, when the time came for
him to take the oath Of allegiance,
required of all Government officials,
the Mayor misinterpreted the law
and declined to do so. The whole

The present exhibition empha-
sizes his preoccupation with expert
mental work. Although Washington
scenes, the Potomac and nearby Viz
ginia have inspired many Of these
paintings, to Judge from their titles,
few laymen would be likely to rec
ognize these well-known places
without their identifcations (nor
indeed, with them. However, the
show contains a few which may
have popular appeal comparatively
speaking)-his poetic Bare Trees,
Difficult Run" and Potomac
Gorge" which is akin to his Mar
row Waters" which won an award
in the current Washington area
annual at the Corcoran Gallery OF
Art.
Mr.. Gates, a native of Detroit,
obtained his art education at its
School of Arts and Crafts, the New
York Art Students League, Colorado
Springs Fine Arts Center and the
Phillips Memorial Gallery, where
he subsequently assisted the late c.
Law Watkins instructing classes In
painting.
During the war, Mr.. Gates re-
ceived the Navy's highest civilian
honor, the Distinguished Civilian
! Service Award, for his achieve
ments in connection with the pho
tographic intelligence process OF
which he was co-inventor. Attached
to the Special Devices Section OF
the Navy Department, he was sent
to the Pacific war area as a civil
ian technician aboard an amphib-
ious commandship to set UP a lab
oratory for the use Of the process.
He has exhibited extensively in
Washington and throughout the
country. He has been the recipient
of six awards in Washington exhi-
bitions, including The Evening Star
Prize of the Society of Washington
Artists. He has painted murals on
Government commissions for sew
eral post ofaces, among them those
at Bethesda and Oakland, Md. He
is now on the fine arts faculty at
