a thanksgiving celebration the
next year. However, other New
England colonists picked up the
idea and held thanks days."
usually around the end of No
vember.
The Pilgrim-inspired holiday
is today a joyous family day Gel
ebrated with big dinners and hap
py reunions, but the history of
the holiday in the United States
has been fraught with argument.
In 1889 a resolution was pre-
sented by a member of the new
Congress proposing that a day be
set aside to give thanks for the
Constitution. The resolution was
finally adopted, but there was
much opposition by those who be-
lieved the federal government
was meddling in a matter that
should be the concern of the in
dividual states. Thomas Jefferson
called such government-pro-
claimed holidays a "monarchial
practice" and ignored thanksgiv-
ing during his eight years in Of
flee.
Mrs. Sarah Hale, editor of God
ey's Lady's Book, worked for 30
years to promote the idea of a
national thanksgiving day. Mrs.
Hale had a double-barreled at
tack - she printed editorials
promoting the idea and also in
cluded tempting recipes for
Thanksgiving delicacies.
In 1863 Lincoln proclaimed that
the last Thursday in November
would be Thanksgiving Day.
Each year afterward, the presi-
dent of the United States formal
ly proclaimed that Thanksgiving
should be celebrated on the last
| Thursday of November
However, some descendants of
the original New England Puri-
tans refused to observe the holi-
day, claiming that Thanksgiving
should be inspired by the Deity,
not by politicians.
The most recent Thanksgiving
controversy arose when Franklin
D. Roosevelt switched the date
of the holiday from the fourth to
the third Thursday in November.
He hoped to help business by
making the shopping period long
er between Christmas and
Thanksgiving.
Newspapers and magazines
carried editorials advising read
erS to ignore the president, and
some governors flatly advised
their states to3 celebrate Thanks
giving ON the traditional day.
Three years after the change was
made, Congress officially re-
stored Thanksgiving to the fourth
Thursday.
In view of this stormy history,
it might be well to have thanks
giving to give thanks for Thanks
giving.

Wilder's sour Town" on May 2,
500 o'clock in the Manteo School
Auditorium.
sour Town. is notable for genu-
inc originality. Its free and easy
shifts of scenes; the liberties il
takes with time, moving now for
ward, now backward; its. indie
pendence of conventional scenery
and stage properties are smoothly
knit together by the statge man
ager, who directs and explains the
action, takes a minor part and sets
the scenes.
A review in the New York Sun
was as follows:
"'Our Town reaches into the
past of America and evokes NOV
ingly way of life which is lost
in our present turmoil. An original
and extremely interesting play"
The Senior Glass cordially in
vites the public to attend and hopes
each one will find the same pleas
ure and enjoyment which so many
others found when "Our Town"
was presented on Broadway.

EVERYDAY
RELIGION
By Rev. Robert w. Turner
lCOMMUNITY spIRITl

How often we forget that the
Spirit of our community is moth
ing more than the sum total of our
individual spirits. This being so, it
little profits us to "sing the blues"
or criticize the spirit of our neigh
Dor; the important thing is to be
certain that our own spirit is in
good working order and contribut-
ing to the good, better and best
possible spirit of the entire COM
munity in which we live and work.
If our own spirit is showing i'm
provement, we can be sure that the
Community Spirit is better by that
much. We can also be certain that
others will take courage from our
examples and do likewise.
Almost everyone, it seems, needs
to elbow his top" from time to
time. Try to remember, when you
feel this need, that this can be
done in many different ways, with
out hurting yourself or other
neighbors or the Community
Spirit: try "blowing your top" by
visiting a sick person, planting a
tree, helping a neighbor do his
work, being kind to stranger in
the community, playing a game
with some children or just sit down
and think of how many ways you
can spend your energy and life by
doing something helpful for per-
son who is unable to help them
selves. When you are gone, every
person in the community will
mourn your passing and there will
be others who will follow in your
footsteps and carry on the I'M
selfish work which you did while
you We're here.
We should all remember that
Community Spirit is not made of
rhoney-it is. made of the will of
the people to be TRUSTWORTHY
= LOYAL HELPFUL
FRIENDLY - COURTEOUS -
KIND - OBEDIENT = CHEER
Full - THRIFTY and GENER-
GUS - BRAVE - CLEAN =
REVERENT and LOVING.
Not easy? No, but it is good and
the WHOLE POWER OF THE
UNIVERSE WILL BE WITH
AND BEHIND THE COMMU-
NIFTY WHICH DESIRES A
SPIRIT AKIN TO THAT. Unseen
and unexpected help will spring up
on every side to enrich and bless
that community. That community
will be the brightest star" in the
crown of Almighty God and will
give light to the whole world.
