Would it cost you anything to tell
him pleasantly that you saved the
magazines specially for him, know
ing that he liked that particular
magazine? Might you not point out
a particularly good story or informa
tive article that you read in that
magazine?
No one likes to get something that
has been thrown out as of no use to
some one else, but don't we all love
sharing things or experiences alike?
So give the old person the joy of
sharing the experience of reading
something you have read.
Consider Recipient
Tailor your gift to the recipient.
In a household where men and boys
buy many mems magazines, all were
saved to be taken to the county poor
farm to be read by the old gentle
men spending their last years there.
Books with which you have fin
ished make even more convenient
gifts than magazines. Here, again,
tailor the gift to the recipient. and
perfume the gift with kindness and
friendship.
In many households, some mem
Der has taken up hobby and then
dropped it, leaving the hobby equip
ment practically new. Such hobby
equipment might be a godsend to
some one who is recuperating from
illness and needs something to pass
the time. And, who knows? A hobby
might lead to life work. 1t has hap
pened.
Outgrown toys or children's clothes
can be passed on, but the spirit must
be right Ornaments, knick- knacks,
old furniture might be quite accept
able for the neighbor children's play
house.
A bag of clean old nylons will be
acceptable for woman who makes
nylon flowers. Cotton or rayon
scraps may please the woman who
likes to make patchwork quilts.

Give Of po~r,s4

"GIVE AS MUCH as you cam"
pleads the letter. Your natural urge
to share says eyes" But common
sense says ''No. If you give any
more to charity, however worthy,
then you can't pay the grocer, the
landlord, the power company. And
then all these worthy people may,
if others follow your example, like
wise be objects of charity. Would it
be sense to rob Peter thus to pay
Paul? MOI"
Must you then curb your desire to
give? Not necessarily. We tend to
forget that the money desired by
charitable organizations is used for
goods and services. Perhaps we have
either goods or services to spare.
Most people, for instance, have
possessions of no use to them, which
might help others. Often these things
are collected and taken over to the
Salvation Army or other charitable
organizations. This is rather a cold
and impersonal sort of giving, not
very satisfying.
Personal Attention
Perhaps you have something, such
as a years subscription to a maya
zine, that you would like to give to
some lonely old man or woman. You
have carefully saved the magazines,
arranged them in order, seen to it
that no issues are missing, the covers
are neat and all the pages present.
You can take these magazines over
to the recipient in perfect condition,
and still make that poor old person
feel like throwing them out in the
garbage barrel. How? By insinuating
or saying that you just brought the
magazines in order to clear out your
attic.
Well, maybe you did bring the
magazines for that reason, but need
you add to the old persons unhap-
piness by making him feel that his
house is little better than a garbage
barrel in your opinion?

An Editorial
Thanksgiving
Day

AFTER THE FIRST harvest of the
New England colonists in 1921, Gov
ernor Bradford made provision for a
day of thanksgiving and prayer. In
1923 a day of fasting and prayer in
the midst of drought was changed
into thanksgiving by the coming of
rain during the prayers. The custom
prevailed of appointing day of
thanksgiving annually after harvest.
These appointments were by proc
1amation of the governors of the sew
eral New England colonies. During
the Revolution day of national
thanksgiving was annually recon-
mended by Congress. In 1917 New
York adopted it as an annual Gus
tom and it had spread through many
of the states by the middle of the
century.
During the Civil war President
Lincoln appointed day of Thanks
giving and since 1864 presidents
have issued a Thanksgiving procla-
nation, generally designating the
last Thursday in November as the
day. The memory of its origin as a
state appointment survives in the
proclamations of the governors of
the states, which follow that of the
president.
The first Thanksgiving was born
not out of over abundance and lux
ury, but out of hardship. This should
be a SOLDERING thought for us who en-
Joy the luxuries of modern life. We
complain about things that are
wrong but forget all the things that
are right. Let us thank God for
those who founded this great nation
Possibly we need to get back those
characteristics which made our Pill
grim forefathers worthy of remem-
brance.

But more for shelter for my

To ease their load.

Perhaps a collection of slips from
your pet house plants would please
the new neighboT who hasn't gotten
around to starting her own window
full of plants. Seeds from your BACH
lor buttons or the hollyhocks that
did so well may be equally pleasing.
A bouquet of sweet peas in season
may be the thing.
Other garden gifts are rhubarb,
seradish-anything of which you
may have surplus. Look on it as
sharing, and it will give you good
will. Accept gifts in return. The joy
of giving is something the other per-
son is as entitled to as you yourself.
Give blood to the Red Cross, if
you can. Here is where you can truly
give of yourself, and perhaps save
some ones life. This is really some
thing that money cannot buy. There
have even been instances where the
blood given by person was used
later to save that persons own life.
Have you a collection of old glasses
or spectacles? Send them to "New
Eyes for the Needy" address "Short
Hills, New Jersey" This organization
uses discarded glasses to make new
ones for those who can't afford to
buy their own And haven't you
often wondered if there wasn't some
use for those old specs that you hated
to throw away?
Give Your Time
And finally, maybe you have lit
tie time to give Visit the sick neigh
Dor, the old person, the new neigh
Dor. Give them a helping hand If
necessary. Or just visit with them.
And don't forget the letter to the
one away from home.
These are all things that cost no
money. And of all the things you
can give away that cost no money,
nothing is so valuable as yourself
your time, your interest, your friend
ship, your kindness, your help.

In almost every instance a re-
preventative Of the Associa-

that the trips made by the Di-
rector were unnecessary and
expensive.
The Virgin Islands Corpora
ton will be asked for 100000

Director said. He was then
asked about the film that had

Vicorp officials took $4,000 of

an additional $575 was paid

also that the matter of funds
for he st. Croix Golf Course

that favorable recommends

The Director was also charged
with misrepresentation in re-

expressed. Among those pre-
sent were members Of the
Executive Committee, t h e

Board and t h e Municipal
Council.
Mr.. Goeggel, who has come
over at the invitation of the
Chamber, was asked to ex-
plain; he at once referred the
group to the Annual Report"
which, he said, speaks for it
self. But the Chambers repre-
sentatives were not satisfied
and started firing a barrage of
questions which brought to
light a number Of things. A
deficit budget Of $4,000 will be
submitted to the Legislature
otherwise t h Boards will
close down.
Among the question which
were asked of Mr.. Goeggel
were: that the Tourist Board
were not answering letters in
connection with St. Croix;
that the st. Croix Board is
not informed on the activities
of the Director, only St. Tho
mas. Several examples were
given; but was pointed up
when a member of the Cham
Der and also of the Tourist
Board esked about Mr.. Goeg-
gels failure to keep a promise
to supply the baseball teams

In Polio Epidemic
BY the Assoeia,sd Pres,

LENOIR. N. c.. July 4-Public
health officials today finished
plans for the mass incubation of
10000 children next week as
Caldwell County's polio epidemic
struck still another victim.
Today's case, a sharp drop
from the six reported yeasterday.
was the 82d recorded during
the current outbreak which
started in mid-April.
In an effort to check the
mounting toll of the crippling
disease, scores of volunteers
gave up their Fourth of July
holiday to assist public health
authorities in setting up four
anti-polio clinics.
The clinics, scattered through
out this Blue Ridge foothills
county, are scheduled to open
Monday. Health officials plan
to inject polio-fighting gamma
globulin into about 1000 child
ren day at each clinic, COM
pleting the immunization pro-
gram by Wednesday.
Officials announced that more
than 300 volunteers, most Of
them Caldwell County house
wives nave registered for duty
at the four clinics.
In addition, a score of public
health nurses and teams of
physicians will arrive from
throughout the State tomorrow
for the opening of the clinics
Monday. The physicians are
staff members of the States

Meantime, youngsters who are
nervously awaiting visits to the
clinics got cheering news from

launched a "lollipops for Le-
noir' campaign, asking Gull
