Already Seven

BY United Press International
Accidents on rain-Slick Ala
bama highways pushed the
states holiday death toll to sew
en- Friday before the Thanksgiv-
ing period reached the halfway

In addition, an Alabama cOu-
pie died in a Tennessee wreck
and police investigated the
death of a man whose body was
found in a Gadsden hotel.
The entire force Of state troop

holiday in Mclean, Va.
The traditional Thanksgiving
Day reunion and dinner fol-
lowed the same pattern as 9th
ers-but it wasn't the same.
No Laughter
There was no laughter or JOY.
The celebrated touch football
game was missing. And there
was no ice skating party at the
rink just outside the village.
AS usual 75-year-old Joseph
P. Kennedy, former ambassador
and father of the asSassinated
President, sat at the head Of the
table. The dinner was held at
his spacious, 17-room mansion.
The elder Kennedy has been
paralyzed and confined to a
wheel chair since a stroke in
December 1861.
Since his stroke, it had been
the Presidents job to carve the
turkey. It was not disclosed
who did the carving Thursday.
The Kennedy clan children
ate their dinner first. Just about
as the older members Of the
famous family were sitting
down to dinner, President Lyn-
don B. Johnson announced he
was remaining Cape Canaveral,
Cape Kennedy.
Return Home
Following the dinner, Mrs.
Kennedy and other members Of
the family returned to the late
Presidents home where the
lights burned late into the night.
Mrs. Kennedy and the two
children, Caroline who was 6
Wednesday, and John-John who
was 3 Monday, the day his ia
ther was buried, we're expected
to remain on the Cape through
the weekend. Thursday was the
first time since her husbands
Staying that Mrs. Kennedy saw
the former ambassador, who
was not able to attend the fu-
neral in Washington.
Mrs. Kennedy visited the late
Presidents flower covered
grave in Arlington National
Cemetery just before leaving
Washington.
She and her children were the
last members of the family to
arrive here for the sad reunion.
Other members arrived aboard
the family plane Caroline.

question.
One point seemed certain -
had any other name but that of
Kennedy been attempted, 1t
would have run into heavy op-
position. The name "CanaVer-

spit Of land jutting eastward
into the Atlantic Ocean, once
was inhabited by Indians who

Some Credit DeLeOn
Some historians believe that
no less a parsonage than Juan
Ponce De Leon, the Spanish eX-
plorer who devoted his days to
a fruitleSs search for the legen-
Diary Fountain Of Youth" was
the first white man to see the
Cape and, in fact, may have
contributed the name of Canav-
eral.
History does record that De
Leon first sighted what is now
the Florida peninsula on April
2, 1913, and that on the same
voyage he sailed south
Southeastward to make a sec
ond landing at, or near, Cape
Canaveral.
But De Leon was notorious
fo his rather sketchy accounts
Of his 18th century meander-
ingS in the New World. Thus,
the full truth seems lost forever

Despite the sadness of this
thanksgiving, Johnson said, the
nation still has much to be
thankful for. "Our harvest is
bountiful, our factories flourish,
our homes are safe, our de-
lenses are secure. We know
that our system is strong" he
said.
Johnson quoted from Ken
nedy's Thanksgiving proclama-
ton, issued before his death,
and told his countrymen they
had passed great test since
the assassination by showing
that decency of purpose, that
Steadfastness Of resolve and
that strength of will which we
inherit from our forefatherS."
Johnson noted that in each Of
the past five administrations he
has seen in his % years in
Washington, the greatest bur-
den that the President had to
bear had been the burden of his
own cOuntrymen's unthinking
and unreasoing hate and divi-

Franklin D. Roosevelt and Her

he said, "they hadn't had a
winning season for 13 years"
When he left, there was an
impeccable record behind him.
His last three teams showed So
victories against only seven
defeats. Twice they led the
NAIA, the national small COL
lege organization, in margin of
difference (offense VS.. defense) !.
Gibson seems particularly proud
Of this.
There is al other way to
measure a man. Gibson was
told this statistic could be
padded by rolling UP the score
against an outclassed opponent.
Il can't help it II anybody
wants to think that" he replied
softly, "but we played teams in
our conference mostly and /
don't think my starters played
more than so per cent Of the
time"
He doesn't seem to anger cas-
lily, and that'll obviously be a
helpful quality in the AAC.

Virginia had q disappointing
500 record last year, but the
only significant loss off that
club is Gene Engel, the leading
scorer and rebounder. Return
ees include chip Conner and
Mac Caldwell, two fine pros
poets. The Virginia luck also
should get better, If only be-
cause it hardly can get much
worse. Eigh Of the losses last
season were by three baskets or
less.

have many unanswered ques-
tions about Gibson, hi appar-
emily has only one himself.
