Thanksgiving
Back again to Thanksgiving! Back to the day when we pause to voice our appreciation of the things we have which make for happiness and prosperity. A vast amount of history has been made since the first Thanksgiving Day, but the things we feel appreciation for today are in essence much the same. Our homes, our automobiles and radios are atune to the advancement of the age, but the fundamentals of family and health and peace continue to give us joy and satisfaction, without which modern improvements would be meaningless. While we try to preserve a certain humility about our possessions, we are bound to have pride, too . . . pride
in our standing, in our acquisitions, pride in the growth and development of our community. As we take stock of our assets today we form a new determination to help make more creditable history—however small, however local—before Thanksgiving comes around again. And in making plans like this we look forward to co-operating with, and having the co-operation of, our neighbors and our associates toward the common advancement of our citizenry and our community . . . toward a fuller reason for Thanksgiving Day each year.
