With every kind Of goody that ! guess

With turkey and with pudding and with
everything-but, gee,
1t was all alive and stood and looked
at me.
Fnen a great big turkey rose up on
his drumsticks and said,
You taste of my dark meat or my white,

I'll throw off all the covers and pull

Take care my boy beware my boy. the

I'm round and hot and steaming and
I'm heavier than lead.

I'll hound you and III pound you and
I'll jump UP high and fall
Down on your little stomach like q

That pudding said. said he.
And then a crusty mince pie rose on
edge and winked his eye and said,
You, boy, if on Thanksgiving Day you

! will come and cramp you like wise.
I'll root you and I'll boot you and twist
you till you squeal;
I'll raise on edge and roll around your
stomach like a wheel.
That pie said, said he.

Thanksgiving
By Angelo Potri

Today is Thanksgiving. 1t
means a party with turkey and
pumpkin pie, but under all the
fun lies a wonderful story that
puts rich meaning into Thanks
giving Day for us all.
Long, long ago, before white
people lived in this country, the
Indians planted corn seeds, bright
golden seeds. The seeds grew into
tall plants that bore ears of corn
which the Indians gathered.
stored and ground into meal for
bread. They always saved some
for seed so that there was circle
of life from spring to spring.
Then the Pilgrims came. You
know about them, of course, how
they knew nothing about this
land, its weather, its soil, its way
of life. Many might havesstarved
if the Indians had not given them
corn to plant and shown them how
to harvest and use it.
Seed is a miracle. Wise men
have tried to make a seed. They
can make it exactly like a real
one, but for one important fact:
It won't grow. Gods seed grows.
That is why on that long ago
day the Pilgrims stopped in their
labor to give thanks to God for
the seed that grew. They under
stood that though they had
worked hard to build, to farm, to
keep living in this new land, it was
only because God had put life in
their seed. set faith and courage
and endurance in their souls, that
they had managed to carry on. It
was for these blessings that they
offered thanks.
This is something we can not
understand. We can only see and
feel it is so. This beautiful world
we live in with its wonderful sky,
its seas so grand and so terrible,
its living soil, it's birds and beasts
and fish. its people, its wind and
WCdGI1C1-dA uldhC WOIlU6I1ul
place in which we grow under the
warming sun and the welcome
rain. A great deal for which to
thank God.
And remember always that
every one of us sows some seed
every hour of the day. Seeds of
kindness, helpfulness, love, which
will surely grow as did the Pill
grim's corn. Words without deeds
are hollow-lifeless as they leave
your breath. You must do some
thing to put life in them. Per-
form some kindness for those who
love you, and also for those who
do not. So shall you sow your
seed and put meaning into your
Thanksgiving Day.
Then on this Thanksgiving Day
let us give thanks for all the
beauty. all the bounty, to God, for
He puts the life, the power and
the glory into it-all the blessings
we enjoy.

Radar Again Sees Flying Saucers @ At Washington

WASHINGTON, (P-Radar- which normally doesn't show something that isn't there - has picked up flying saucers"s near the nations capital for the second time within a week.
 Jet fighter pilots searched the skies without directly contacting anything during the six hours that four to 12 unidentified ob- jects intermittently appeared on radar screens at Washington Ma tional Airport and nearby An drews Air Force Base.
 So far as could be determined, this was the first time jets have been sent on the trail of such sky ghosts.
 Officials carefully avoided mentioning flying saucers," just as they did when radar picked up seven or eight unidentified ob- jects near Washington last Mon day.
 An Air Force spokesman said:
 "We have no evidence they are flying saucers; conversely we have no evidence they are not flying saucers. We don't know what they are."
 There was no agreement whe- ther the recent reports are the first of such mystery objects ap- bearing on radar. At least, off cials agreed they are unusual.
 Radar normally does not regis ter anything without substance such as light. But it can pick up such things as a bird in flight or cloud formation. And one ex- pert said radar is not infallible.

 Head of Atomic Energy Con-, Dies

WASHINGTON, (P) = Senator Brien McMahon, 48, a Connecti- cut Democrat with a passion for peace and key role in the na- tion's atomic energy program, died Monday of cancer.
 Dr. Philip A. Caulfield, Nc Mahon's personal physician, said the senator was stricken with cancer of the lung which had spread to his back and pelvis.
 Illness prevented his campaign ing as candidate for the Demo- cratic presidential nomiantion: Friends from Connecticut gave him 16 votes anyhow at the Demo- cratic national convention last week. From his hospital bed, Nc Mahon ordered his name with drawn.
 McMahon was a brand new senator in 1945 when the first atomic bomb devastated Hiro- shima. Awesomely impressed, he decided this new force must be leashed to save civilization, and dedicated his life to that goal.
 Despite his relative inexperi- ence, he became chairman of the Senate House Atomic Energy Committee - the voice of Con- gress on all atomic affairs, the highest lay authority on the sub- ject.

Thousands Crowd
 To View Bier Of Eva PerOn
By STANFORD BRADSHAW

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina, P-Eight persons were reported dead and scores injured in the crush Monday as thousands crowded up to pay last homage to Eva Peron.
 Doctors manning improvised first aid stations near the Minis try of Labor, where the body of Argentina's first lady was lying in state, said some deaths result ed from trampling, others from heart failure. They said thousands were given first aid, but most of these had only tainted. Many, however, suffered fractured arms or legs.
 Troops hurried in during the morning to help police control the crowds as they lined up four abreast in mile-long queues for a 20-second walk past the bier of President Juan D. Peron's wife and political partner, who died Saturday night after a long ill., ness. Many waited eight hours for a glimpse of the body.
 Mrs. Peron's death in her early 30's was generally attributed to cancer although there had been no official announcement of the nature of her illness.

Stevenson Nominated On 3rd Ballot; Chooses Sparkman For Running Mate
By JACK BELL


 CONVENTION HALL, Chicago (P)-The Democratic presidential nomination went to reluctant Ad- Tai E. Stevenson in a breath talk ing three-ballot finish early Sat urday and Sen. John J. Sparkman of Alabama said he "has word" that Stevenson wants him as a running mate.
 Sparkman said he will accept, if nominated.
 All the delegates had to do was to formalize Stevenson's choice of his running mate, since every one of the possible aspirants for the job made it clear he would bow to the governors wishes.
 Sparkman would give the deep South a place on the ticket for the first time in modern politics circumstance which seemed dictated in part by the appeal that Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, the Republican nominee, is reported to have in Dixieland.
 The Illinois governor, whose bandwagon rolled over Kefauver and Russell in tense convention balloting after w. Averell Harri- man of New York had withdrawn, keynoted his own campaign in his acceptance speech early Satur- day.
 "More important than winning the election is governing the na- tion," he told Democrats solemn ly. "When the tumult and shout ing die, when the bands are gone and the lights are dimmed, there is the stark reality of responsibil- ity in an hour haunted by those gaunt, grim specters of strife, dis sention and materialism at home and ruthless, inscrutable and hos tile power aboard"
 Asserting that the "bloodiest, most turbulent age of the Chris tian era is far from over, Steven son declared:
 Sacrifice, patience, under standing and implacable purpose may be our lot for years to come. Let's face it. Let's talk sense to the American people,"
 Stevenson's talk contrasted sharply with the "Give 'em hell" speech with which Truman as- sailed the Republican introducing the new standard bearer formally to the convention.
 Stevenson, who said he had ac- cepted the nomination humbly in the belief that a better man could have been found for it, promised that ''I will fight to win with all my heart and soul"
