Looking At Washington
PRICES AND WAGES

fhlCES AND MAGES
The United States Consumer
Price Index rose 03 per cent, to
another record, in September.
This is the latest in a steady price
climb, as tabulated by the Bureau
of Labor Statistics.
The rise over a period of twelve
months totals IL per cent. In the
latest period, all major groups of
goods and services, except trans
portation, were up.
Because air line fares will prob
ably be lowered in 1860, transpor-
tation might continue to be the
bright spot in the price index.
Meanwhile, automatic wage rate
increases will go to over one mil
lion workers as a result of the re-
cent rise in the price index. Most
of those who will receive raise
are $4,000 railroad workers, who
get a ee-cents-an-hour increase,
their first in a year.
But despite the higher prices, the
buying power of employed factory
workers rose in the latest period.
AO A@oOOA (Cpdl LllACllL IGQOII0Q
this buying power increase, which
it attributed to higher spendable
earnings.
The period ahead is uncertain,
although a drop in meat prices is
expected in November. The hike
in gasoline prices will act to in
crease the index, as will an ex-
pected seasonal rise in some food
prices.
In summary, there is no reason
for immediate alarm because of the
latest price index rise, and one
per cent cost increase per year
will not, in itself, wreck. the econ
omy. In fact, if earnings continue
their rise, the stability of the econ
omy could be maintained, general
ly, in the good-business period
ahead.

Christ Churchmen
And Guests Visit
Dover Air Base

On Sunday, November %, a mo-
tOrcade of 33 Christ Churchmen
and guests left the Episcopal
Church on Church Avenue and went
to the Dover Air Base at the invi-
tation of Master Sergeant Charles
Kicker. They enjoyed a delicious
dinner in the Non-commissioned Of
ficers Club and then boarded a
sightseeing bus for a tour of the
base facilities. Of special interest
to all was the chance to look into
the new Air Force Cargo GLIB.
Sergeant Kicker explained to the
group that this airplane will weigh
approximately $4,000 pounds with
a full load at take-off time and can
travel nonstop to any spot in the
world with 200 fully equipped COM
bat troops aboard. The group saw
hangers where the airplanes were
being repaired and the sheet metal
shops and returned to Milford
about $50 p. m.
1t is felt that such a trip can
give us much better understand
ing of the problems of the people
around us.

a chief executive of the United
States and because its content is
worthy of thought, would have
you read carefully the following
sentences from Washington's pro-
clamation:
Where as it is the duty of all
nations to acknowledge the prov
idence of God, to obey His will, to
be grateful for His benefits and
humbly impore His protection and
favor. now therefore 1 do recon-
mend and assign the 26th day of
November next to be devoted by
the people of these states to the
service of that great and glorious
Being Who is the beneficent Au-
thor of all the good that was, that
is, or that will be. That we may
then all unite in rendering unto
Him Sour sincere thanks for His
kind care and protection of the
people of this country previous to
their becoming a nation; for the
manifold mercies and the favor
able interpretations of His provi-
dence which we experienced in the
course and the conclusion of the
late war; for the great degree of
tranquility, union and plenty
which we have enjoyed; for the
peaceable and rational manner in
which we have been enabled to es-
,tablish constitutions of govern
ment for our safety and happiness;
for the civil and religious liberty
with which we are blessed and the
means we have of acquiring and
diffusing useful knowledge and in
general for all the great and var
ious favors which He hath been
pleased to confer upon u.s."
One hundred and seventy years
have passed since this proclama-
ton of President Washington was
issued During this period of time
our country has grown in prestige,
power and prosperity beyong the
| fondest hopes of it's founders. We
have so much more to be thankful
for than they. And if we add to
these national enrichments the
blessings that are ours as men,
bers of the church of Jesus Christ,
we have ever greater reasons to
1 Say Will the Olu l0SIdIHeHL
Psalmist David: "Bless the Lord,
o my soul, and all that is within
me bless His holy name. Bless the
Lord, o my soul, and forget not all
His benefits" Indeed, God has been
good to us. Let us remember 1t
daily and especially as each
Thanksgiving Day recurs. In this
spirit let us pray with Joyce Kill
mer:
Lord, Thou hast given more
for me
Than all the host of land and
sea;
Then help me render back
again
The millionth of Thy gifts.
Amen"

'LET US GIVE THANKS"
"Bless the Lord, O my soul, and
forget not all His benefits"
Psalm 103: 2

Sometimes it seems to me that
l live in a. room that has two doors.
The one door is tightly locked and,
looking at it closely, | find it in
scribed with the word "TOMOR-
ROW" l cannot open it now, but
it will open itself when another
day dawns. The other door is one
through which 1 have just passed.
Over it's threshold / read the word
YESTERDAY" The room to
which this door leads holds all the
records of the past and today, as
l think of this weeks national hol-
iday, / ask that you walk with me
into several yesterdays" that re-
late themselves rather closely to
the origin and observance of
Thanksgiving Day.
Think back with me to the year
1920. A small band of doughty
men of faith, commonly called the
Puritans, have landed, on the
shore of Massachusetts at a very
inopportune time. 1t was winter.
Dangers and privations now stalk
ed their every step; the wolf of
want was never far from their
doors. Overwork and inclement
weather brought on an epidemic
of sickness. Forty-six died that
first winter; only fifty-six surviv-
ed. Slowly the months dragged by;
finally spring came. At once they
busted themselves in the planting
of corn and other grain. God
prospered their work and when
autumn came they could garner a
harvest sufficient to feed them for
another year. 1t was then, in
spite of hardships and losses OF
the past year, that they decided to
hold a special worship service to
thank God for His many blessings
In keeping with this desire, Will
liam Bradford, governor of the col
ony, proclaimed the first Thanks
giving Day ever to be observed on
American SOIL The Puritans had
little but they were grateful for
what they had.
Now let us turn the pages of
history to another yesterday
The time is the year 1889. The
war for American independence
has been victoriously concluded,
the Constitutional Convention has
been held laying solid foundations
for the nations future and George
Washington has taken the oath of
Office as the first President of the
United States. Deeply aware of
thes and kindred blessings Incl
dent to the birth. of our nation,
Washington on October 8, 1889,
proclaimed a day of national
thanksgiving. Because it was the
first such directive ever issued by
