Thanksgiving
by CLARENCE HAWKES (The Blind Poet of Hadley, Mass.) Written for United Press
O gracious God whose bountious hand Has blessed this year our native land, There are grains and fruit aplenty So our people will be fed, In this land of God's great bounty None will want for daily bread— So we today with thoughts sublime Give praise to Him, Thanksgiving time.
Let us uphold that Pilgrim faith
That trusted Thee through life and death.
When gathered round the festal board
In gratitude unto the Lord,
We voice Thy praise, and give Thee love
For all Thy blessings from above—
Thy promises in bud and flower,
Redeemed to us this day and hour.
Now comes the feast of all the year,
To thankful hearts the time most dear,
Let smiles be seen above the board
So bounteous for man and beast,
For life, and home, and native land
And all for which our people stand—
And extra plate and cover lay
In Christ's dear name. Thanksgiving Day.
In Christ's dear name, Thanksgiving Day.
Careless Moments Can Spoil Holiday Recess
Murphy Says:
Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy today issued the following statement of thanksgiving and safety to the students and faculty for the coming Thanksgiving vacation.
KFKU Begins 3 Programs This Week
KFKU, University radio station will be heard on a regular schedule beginning this week.
"The KU Cavalcade of Hits" will be heard at 7 p.m. today. The program was written by William E. Stanfill, journalism junior.
Three new programs will be introduced on the station, according to R. Edwin Browne, director of University radio.
"It will feature the five most popular songs of the week in University organized houses. In addition, each week a campus leader will present some message of current campus interest.
"This program has a two-fold purpose," Mr. Browne said. "It will serve as a window of KU life to the non-campus listeners and as an entertainment program for students."
A survey by the radio department revealed that 7 p.m. on Tuesday was the most convenient time for students to listen to this program, Mr. Browne said.
"Brain Busters," at 7 p.m. on Thursday, will consist of a panel of experts—a group of three faculty members-plus a new guest star on each program. This panel will attempt to answer questions submitted by the radio audience.
Mr. Browne said the position of guest star on the program would be filled by townpeople, wives of faculty members, or even students if the student wants to appear.
Allen Crafton, professor of speech, will be master of ceremonies for the series.
Exposition Bids Are Due
8 "As individuals, each of us has much for which to be thankful. Collectively, we—students, faculty and staff—can give thanks that in a world of turmoil and conflict we are permitted to work and grow as individuals in a free university.
"And may we so conduct ourselves that this Thanksgiving recess is not marred by tragedy, that when Monday comes all of us may thankfully return.
"A careless moment in traffic can spoil for you and for me this Thanksgiving and all Thanksgivings to come. A mis-handed automobile does not discriminate between the guilty and the innocent."
