Let Us Give Thanks Of all the holidays observed in this country, there is is none so distinctively American as' Thanksgiving. It is a legacy of the Pilgrims, cherished because of the traditions that surround it. On this Thanksgiving shall we remember to give thanks to God for all of the many blessings he bestowed upon us as a nation? To name only a few: Thanks for the avoidance of war and the continuance of peace. Thanks for the absence of famine in our country and the abundance of food. Thanks for the steady improvement in our standard of living. Thanks for the airplane, the railroad, and the' auto mobile and for what they have meant to the transport of goods as well as to the enjoyment'of travel by the whole family. Thanks for the dedicated men who serve in our armed forces. Thanks for the guardians of the public safety who risk their lives in fighting fire, in fighting crimes, in fighting the things that could destroy us from within. Thanks for the men and women who teach in our schools. Thanks for those who serve in our hospitals and insti tutions, caring for the sick and the handicapped. Thanks for the parents who do not neglect their grow ing children, but who recognize that juvenile delinquency must in large part be due to adult delinquency. Thanks for the freedoms proclaimed in £he Bill of Rights. If we remember to give thanks for all these things, every day can be Thanksgiving Day. “Stuff them way down in the bottom.
