EDITORIAL.
A CORRECTION

In our paper of November Ind In
our Editorial, we gave Edward Smith
credit for being the top man OF Field S
Store, in one department. However,
this was an error. MIR. Smith is only
an employee in that store but he has
credit for doing a good job as clerk.
we also said that he might become
the manager of the department IN
which he works sometime IN the
future as a result of his loyalty, but
we were informed by Mr.. Rezltt, the
manager, that Edward gets an extra
bonus" for extra work, or accomp-
liShmentS. Therefore, We may not
expect that he will be promoted to
the office of Manager of that depart
ment The Editor.

LET'S COUNT OUR BLESSINGS
IT'S NEVER TOO LATE

Each year at this time American
families throughout the world pause
to celebrate Thanksgiving Day =
to give thanks for the benefits We
enjoy as free people of a democratic
society 1t is traditional on this great
holiday to get the family together and
celebrate much in the way the
pilgrims did SO long ago. Most of
US will be in a festive mood, we will
eat too much turkey and we will
readily agree that as Americans we
really have it made. 1t is good to pause
at this time of the year and soberly
reflect On-and give thanks for the
many blessings which are ours as
free Americans. How fortunate We
are to live in a nation which is truly
of the people by the people" We
might reflect upon the unfortunate
plight of millions of poor souls who
yearn to be free, those who hunger as
We sit down with the good things of
life. On this Thanksgiving we might
reflect on the early days in December
21st, 1920 at Plymouth, Mass, here
the Pilgrims from the Mayflower
landed and established their colony
Plymouth colony's first dreadful
u,;pfar Jur;1u 1,h;ch aIrooct half of
the pilgrim colony died, winter passed
and renewed hope had grown up
with the summer. When the corn crop
was gathered in the fall of 1921.
Governor Bradford decreed a day of
thanksgiving. There were great pre-
parationS, the women spent days,
boiling, baking and roasting, and even
the children were busy turning the
roasts on the splits before the open
fire. There were friendly indians
who brought their share of the feasts
wild turkey and vension from the
woods. Tables were set out doors
and the company of pilgrims sat
about them as one big family
This first thanksgiving was not
merely a feaSt-there were prayers
and sermons and songs of praise in
three days of celebration before the
indians went back to their forest and
the colonist to their tasks. Let us not
forget the heroic band of liberty
seekers who made new homes for
themselves on new continent, TO
escape from persecution in their
home land, who swore loyalty to the
government they had framed. During
i the voyage there was drawn up and
signed by Al heads of families, this.

Redskins Slight Underdogs
Tonigh in Clash With Rams

miliar supporting cast, with
Don Bosseler at fullback, Dick
James at left half, and Tom
Osborne at the thanking spot,
but McPeak has rewritten the
script and hopes it has a hap
pier ending. Although the Red
skins do not pretend to have
as much overall speed as their
rivals, they believe they have
enough to get the job done.
It has been a sizzling series,
replete with surprises and
drama. Unquestionably the
most dramatic renewal was in
1852 when Coach Dick Todd an
nounced his retirement be-
tween halves and Choo Choo
Justice broke his wrist after
establishing a Coliseum rec
ord Of 199 yards on II carries.
The series reached its peak,
attendance-wise, in 1851 when
, the power-packed Rams, quar-
terbacked by Waterfield,
slaughtered the Redskins, So
II, and went on to win the
league ch a mpionship. It
touched its lowest point last
year when only $1,000 turned
out to see q Washington tumble
set up the Rams winning score
in a 1921 triumph.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. Ii
The Redskins make a fresh
start under a new coach with
practically the same cast to-
night against the Rams at the
Coliseum. 1t should be quite a
battle. "
Although their next-to-last
finish in the Western Division
last year wasn't much better
than the Redskins, the speedier
Rams are slight favorites to
make it two in a row over their
Eastern rivals. The Rams won
last year. 1921, to gain a 9-6
edge in their series dating back
to l946. ..
More than $4,000 fans are
expected to see the game despite
a luke-warm threat of picket
ing by organizations opposed to
the Redskins lily-white player
policy.
Game To Be Broadcast
The kickoff is scheduled for
II pm, Washington time, and
a description Of the game will
be broadcast over WTOP by
Jim Gibbons and Eddie GAL
laher.
It's a big one for both Bill
MePeak, making his head
coaching debut with the Red
skins, and Bob Waterfield, who
took command of his NFL alma
mater last year. A victory for
the Redskins would end a 10
game losing streak on the pre-
season tour, and snap an eight
game losing streak left over
from last years league cam
paign.

victory was scored over the
