TIME TO GIVE THANKS

lime ~ GIVE lHANko
H Pilgrim Fathers realize when they
sat down to give thanks for having been spared and brought
through the rigors of winter in a new land that they were in
deed beginning something which would go down through the
years and be observed by the greatest nation in the world.
their concern could not have been with any grand future in
mind, for they were SO occupied with the immediate problems
of their day that any wild dreams of an abundant land must
have been remote indeed. And yet that is exactly what has
taken place.
IN H MIDST of all the turkey, cranberry sauce, and
pumpkin pie which will adorn millions of tables throughout
America and wherever her flag flies will be a sense of humility
and thankfuness. Two characteristics shone through that first
thanksgiving fiendiness, and a recognition of a supreme
icing without which all of the good things would not have
been possible.
PILGRIMS did not start out to conquer the world
They did not pronounce that only their way could survive
They did not make hatred and bitterness part of their think:
ing. Quite to the contrary, they sat down with the new friends
they had made, broke bread together, and gave thanks for it
all. That, indeed, is the spirit of Thanksgiving.
NO N IA deny that Thanksgiving today takes on
a new and higher meaning; that it stands out clearly against
a sky Of threatening clouds to a way Of freedom without which
free men would prefer not to live. Not only is there abundance
everywhere, but there is t freedom which many, many peoples
10 not know or understand. That freedom, whether we admit
it OF not, is constantly under threat.
THIS THANKSGIVING, as we stop to utter words Of
thanksgiving, may those words bring to mind all that there is
to be thankful for = including a precious freedom of mind and
body.

Hear Dodger Executive To
Piece coIored Player
ON AfIunfu Ieuml

Nashville, Tenn. (ANP) - Los
Angeles Dodgers vice president
Buzzie Bavasi was reported here
to be spearheading a drive to place
a colored ball player on the At
lanta Crackers, the Dodgers farm
team in the Southern Association.
According to the local source,
Bavaa wants to test the reaction
of the Atlanta fans in view of the
desire of the Dodgers to advance
the Atlanta team to Triple A sta
tus.
The proposed player will not be
the first to play in the association.
Atlanta used a tan player, Nate
PEBBLES, during two games in the
1854 season, and is the only South
ern Association team that has
broken the color line.
Meanwhile, a search is reported
being made to find the right type
of player for the role. A similar
move was attempted by the Dodg-
ers last summer but the player
suggested was not what the assoc
iation PRESIDENT, Hal Totten,
thought the team should have.

Discrimination Charge Holds
Up Federal Contracts For
SC Textile Factories

Washington (ANP) - Sources
who declined to be identified said
last week that the granting of
government contracts to some tex
tile firms has been held up because
of complaints of racial discrimina-
ton in South Carolina factories.
The NAACP has complained to
the Presidents Committee on
Equal Employment Opportunity
that state law requires that segre-
cation practices be employed in
textile mills in South Carolina.
A spokesman for the Presidents
committee declined to discuss spec
ific complaints. He said none of
those filed with the committee has
reached the investigative stage
The spokesman, however indie
ated that individual government
agencies and departments charged
with letting contracts may be in

here recently.
At the same time, a counter
warrant against the woman, Mrs.
Beverly Nicholson, 80, was also
dismissed.
Covington, recently traded by
the Braves to the Chicago White
Sox Of the American League, was
accused by Mrs. Nicholson of
fathering the children, ages three,
two and one. She said the base
ball player contributed at various
times to the support of the chill
dren. named Philip, Debbie and
Keith.
Covngton denied he fathered the
children and in a counter suit ac-
cused Mrs. Nicholson Of opening
an unauthorized account in his
name at one Of the leading down.

Both were arrested on the war
rants but were later released.
The warrant against Covington
was dismissed by Judge Louis

cause of lack of evidence.

the case first started, it was al

Banks Switched
To OuffieId From
Shorf Stop Post

Chicago CAMP - The biggest
news to come out of Wrigley Field
in years was made Tuesday MAY
24), when the team announced that
Ernie Banks, the Bruins smuggling
shortstop, was being shifted to
leftfield.
At a specially called news con-
ference, it was reported that Banks
himself had volunteered to move
to the outfield "if it would streng-
then the club" Presiding over the
press conference was owner p. X.
Wrigley, but Ernie was given a
chance to speak his peace, a move
obviously designed to smooth ruff
fled feelings among Banks army
of fans.
The biggest star on the Cubs
team in more than 80 years, Banks
said he was being hampered by a
re-injured left knee He first hurt
the knee in an army game in Ger
many in 1851. He was also hit on
the left knee during spring train
ing, and hurt it again in an ex-
hibition game between the Cubs
and the Chicago White Sox last
month.
Was Switch Due To Criticism By
Press
Now the knee trouble may or
may not have been the major fac
tor in Banks switching to the out
field. However, it is significant
that the move followed a flock of
suggestions by members of the
daily working press corps that
Banks be put on first base. Some
of the press critics felt that Banks
was not playing the short-stop pos
ition up to par.
Yet Jerry Kendall, the player
selected to succeed Ernie at short,
had nothing but glowing tributes
for Banks, fielding at the key posi-
ton in a television interview fol-
lowing the Cubs-Philadephia Phil
lies game. Kendall said that as far
as he is concerned, Banks was
playing the position as good as
ever.
AS Banks Goes, So Goes Cubs
What seemed to have miffed the
press boys, however, was the fact
that Banks is experiencing one of
those early season batting slumps
which plague every great hitter
He is usually slow starter, any
how. But this spring, the pro-
longed cold weather in Chicago has
hampered him to some extent.
The truth is, Banks has spoiled
his local fans. Everytime he comes
up to the plate, they want him to
hit home run. And unfortunately,
when Ernie fails the whole team
usually fails.
For days before the switch was
made, certain members of the
working press have been suggest
ing in their stories and columns
that Banks should be put on first
to conserve his energy. The eight
man coaching team apparently
bowed to their wishes.
This writer's opinion is that
Banks will be back at short be-
fore the season ends.
