Thanksgiving Day 1861

Thanksgiving Day is one of our most cherished
traditions one which is deep in the hearts of the
American people We shall ever be grateful to the
indomitable spirit of the Pilgrims for they handed
down to a great Heritage and a great Spirit.
When the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock in
1920, they batted against adverse circumstances,
both in America and in the land from whence they
came They battled against tierny and dictator
ship in their Fatherland and they suffered hard
ships and privations in America, the land they
dreamed of for adventure. This suffering that the
Pilgrims went through with in America was the
basic foundation upon which America was found
ed.
America was founded upon the principles of
freedom, the freedom to worship God according to
the dictates of ones own conscience the freedom
to work at whatever job one is capable of, the
freedom of speech and the freedom of the Press
History records that the Pilgrims suffered un-
told misery during their flight from England, they
certainly suffered the same here in America during
the cold wintery months, but they went to work
here the fertile lands of America to produce food
and other necessities of life for their families The
Pilgrims produced an overwhelming crop that year.
After they had harvested their crops they gave
thanks to God for the many blessing, the great
Spirit had bestowed upon them.
This the beginning of Thanksgiving Day
in America. This Thanksgiving Day, November %,
1861, the American people will do we'll to revive the
spirit of the Pilgrims who landed at Plymouth Rock
for we too have produced a bumper crop this year
Let us give thanks to Deity for the blessings he
has bestowed upon the American people, The Pill
grlmS primary aim for coming to America was to
f1nd land or country where they could worship
God according to their own beliefs. When they had
gathered their bountifu crops they all participated
in church service and gave thanks to the Great God
OF the Universe. Certainly we, the American peo-
pie will especially give thanks to our Maker on
this Thanksgiving Day 1861.

Social Security
Information

Farm City Week 1861, which
is being observed Nationwide
the week of November 1923,
gives us the opportunity to
stress the part old-age, survi-
vors, and disability insurance is
playing on the farm as we'll as
in the city, John F. Pate, dis
trict manager of the Jackson
Social Security office said TO-
day. The farm and city worker
enjoy exactly the same protec-
tion under the social security
program. And, when as in 1861,
the social security law is i'm
proved through amendments, it's
improvement helps all of us.
Under the 1861 amendments,
whether you are a farm or city
worker, your social security is
now better than ever. Now, both
men and women may choose to
receive reduced retirement ben
efits between age 62 and IS
years old. Previously, only wom-
en- between 62 and IS could re-
ceive these benefits. And now,
farmers, too, have been covered
under social security long
enough to meet the work test
for these disability benefits.
That is, they have now been
under social security lon G
enough to have credit for S
years of farm work in the TO-
year period ending when they
become disabled. Self-employed
farmers were first covered be-
ginning with 1866.
Other changes in the law in
1861 reduce the amount of work
required for many people to
qualify for benefits; make ii
possible for many people past
retirement age to work to earn
more without losing their social
security benefits; increased the
lowest benefits being paid; in
creased the amount of benefits
aged widows receive ON their
husbands account, and make
improvements in other provi-
sions of the law.
Mr.. Pate said that many peo-
pie have been in his office ask
ing about the changes. Avail
able in the office is a leaflet
explaining the new law. It's
free for the asking. If you
would like a copy, stop by, or
let the office know by mail or
phone. They will be glad to see
that you get your copy. The
mailing address is P. o. Box

We don't stop with declara-
tions of principle. The import
ant thing is what we do to put
our principles into practice
and we are willing to be judged
on that basis.
Continuing he said: The ALL
CIO is against racial discrimina-
tion for two basic reasons-first
because it is wrong, and second,
because it weakens and divides
our country at a time when
America needs to mobilize her
maximum and united strength
for survival.
When l say that such discrim-
ination is wrong, l mean that it
violates every fundamental con-
cept of religion, morality, ethics
and the free way of life guaran-
teed by our Constitution. l will
not labor the point.
AS to the divisive effects of
discrimination, they are becom-
ing painfully obvious. Africa
faces a supreme challenge for
the enemies of civiligation. The
Communist world threatens to
outstrip us in education, in
scientific achievement, in mill"
ary power and even in industrial
production. We cannot meet this
challenge with one arm tied be-
hind our back. We cannot meet
it by developing only part of
our population. What is more,
we cannot overcome the Soviet
challenge unless our country
lives up to its principles and
stands united in defense of true
freedom.
Slavery was abolished long
ago in America but half-free-
dom is no adequate substitute.
The Negro citizens of our coun-
try have displayed tremendous
patience and self restraint.
They have remained solidly 10y
al, and they have waited and
waited and waited for full en-
ancipation.
1t is no mere coincidence that
the last anti-Negro stronghold
in America is likewise the last
anti-union stronghold. The very
same Southern Congressman
who vote consistently against
civil rights legislation line up
solidly against labor and against
labor's program. Thus, labor
and the Negroes not only have a
common cause we have common
enemies as well.
Those enemies are aligned
against human progres. They
want to maintain the status
quo or even turn the clock back
to the so-called "good old days"
They are working, perhaps with
out realizing it, to weaken and
stultify their country. Their
program is for all practical pur-
pose un-American.
Labor refuses to turn its back
on the future. We can never be
satisfied with the status quo.
Our program, therefore, looks
forward to a better day for all
Americans. 1t is dedicated to a
stronger America. We want to
invigorate our national economy
and expand it so that the peo-
pie of our country can enjoy full
employment at high wages. We
want to make tremendous i'm
provements in our educational
system so that every American
child will get a good education
and be able to develop his or
her talents to the fullest extent.
We wan to wipe out the slums
and replace them with decent
housing for all American fami-
lies. We want to substitute
juvenile opportunity for juvenile
delinquency. We want every
American citizen to be able to
vote and make his maximum
contribution to the national well
fare.
These are labor's goals. We
are determined to work for them
and keep working for them be-
cause we are convinced they will
bring about a strong, a united,
and truly secure America.

face of magnificent, exciting
chorus singing songs about love
in the springtime, people sat
on their hands as if they were

Hume declared.
Irving Lowens, music critic of

wrote:
"He (Dean Lawson) had mar
velous raw materials to work
with-this years Howard Uni
versity Choir sounds to me like
the finest he has yet assembled
and he made the most of it.
"At it's best, Orff's music
achieves a fiercely burning in
tensity that is all but overpow-
ering. And that was the way
'Carmina Burana' sounded yes
terday.
DR.. Lawson's presentation is
smash hit"
Milton Berliner, music critic
of the Washington Daily News,
acclaimed:
CDR. Warner Lawson and the
Howard University Choir gave
a performance which won't be
topped. The burden falls on the
chorus-in whole and in small
sections-and the Howard Uni
versity group responded magnif-
icently. 1t was perhaps its
greatest moment, and one that
makes us impatient to hear it
again. The performance was an
exceptional triumph"
In column headlines the Post,
Star and Daily News, wrote re-
spectively, Howard Chorus Is
Symphony Highlight," Howard
University Choir Scores Tri-
umph," and "Carmina Burana
To Perfection"
The Post went on to say:
"The great heroes of last nights
National Symphony concert
(Tuesday) were the members
of Warner Lawson's glorious
chorus from Howard University.
Lawson was guest conductor for
the second half of the evening
in which Carl Orff's 'Carmina
Burana' was sung.
''It is thanks to earlier chorus
es from Howard University that
Washington has become ac-
quainted with this flamboyant,
if primitive score. But college
choruses change with each grad
uating class, and this years
sounds the finest we have ever
heard"
The Star stated:
"Dean Lawson has lifted the
Howard University Choir into
the front rank. It is now recog-
nized as one of the country's
finest collegiate choruses."
Dean Lawson, who has con-
Quoted the National Symphony
Orchestra in it's performances
with the Choir four times since
1866, agreed that this years
Choir is his finest. "The Choir
performed with a matured con-
cept of 'Carmina Burana', and
was superior in every facet of
the performance" he said. 1t
was the 10th year that the How
ard Choir performed with the
National Symphony Orchestra.
Developing great choruses is
not new to Dean Lawson. Last
year the Choir won acclaim dur
ing it's 80-day tour of Latin
America under sponsorship Of
the U. S. State Department. For
it's tour the Choir won the an
nual $1,000 award of the Ma
