Thanksgiving, A
Virginia Institution
Editor The Herald.


ing means turkey and pumpkin
pie. football games and family get
togethers and we usually think Of
it as an institution originated by
the Pilgrims. Not 50. the first
Thanksgiving which started al
years ago at Berkeley Plantation
on the James River. near James
town Island. in Virginia. The cere-
mony was quite different from the
Thanksgiving Day accredited to
the Puritans who landed at Ply
mouth Rock 1874 days later. The
concept Of giving thanks to the
Lord for His blessings was the
same - only the celebration was
different.
The celebration of Thanksgiv-
ing in Virginia was a religious
service. In the fall of 1919. the
stockholders who financed the
settlement at Berkeley invited the
settlers. who were Of Anglican
faith, to give thanks to God for
food, and protection from the In
dams. This was done in the form
of an Anglican communion serv-
known as the Eucharist of the
Lords Supper. Before the COM
munion, the pastor said, LET US
give thanks"
About two years later. Pilgrim
colony came out Of winter Of
suffering and privation: tiny
band Of men, women and children
who had braved the rigors of
northern winter with little shelter
in a new world. And governor
named Bradford said. Let us give
thanks
Nearly a century and a half
later. a man named George Wash
ington turned to nation born out
Of crucible Of pain and sacri-
flee to say. Let us give thanks"
Seventy-five years later. a man
named Abraham Lincoln came out
of long night in which a people
and its destiny were caught in a
valley Of crisis. And he too, chose
day In November for day Of
thanksgiving.
Since President Lincoln pro-
claimed that first national
Thanksgiving Day "a years ago,
our Presidents have issued sim
liar proclamation each year:
y do therefore invite my fellow
citizens in every part Of the Unit
ed States and also those who are
at sea or who are sojourning in
foreign lands to set apart and OBJ
serve the last Thursday Of No
vember next as a day Of Thanks
giving and praise to our Benefic-
ent Father who dwelleth in the
heavens"
As Thanksgiving Day approach
es. there may be some who feel
that. with the world in It's present
state Of Tear and tension, we have
little TO be thankful for.
Yet, if we sit down and assess
our blessings. We will find that
We have many. far more than
those in other lands. Commun-
ism has scored again in outer
space. This should serve to wake
Us UP from our apathy, that
We may rededicate ourselves to
preserve our American way Of life
which has brought us the highest
standards Of living in the world.
We should be thankful for Amer

rest upon that thankfulness. We

1872 Years Ago

and even more for papers of more than one
sheet. In addition, every advertiser in
newspaper had to pay tax.
The Virginia General Assembly, after
fiery speech from Patrick Henry, adopted
resolution declaring that the General AS
sembly of Virginia had the sole right and
power to levy taxes. Finally, the Act was
repealed in March of 1866. Nevertheless, it
had stirred the spirit Of revolt and in July
>of the year 1865 -- ten years later - the
Declaration Of Independence was adopted
as the elimination of this spirit Of opposi-
ton and revolt.
In looking back over this part of r. S.
history, one wonders when citizens will put
a halt to ever-increasing Federal taxation.
Federal taxes, first imposed just prior to
World War | on the promise that they
would never exceed one or two per cent
have now reached the point where they take
more than one-half the income of many,
amount to about an average Of $4,000 on
new automobile, and place the responsible
for figuring out complicated forms square
ly upon the individual citizens.
Our history shows, then, that the spirit
of tax resistance sometimes runs danger
ously strong. If our tax rates continue to
increase (and it does not seem likely that
they will go down in 1859 serious opposi-
