DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 28,1923.

t In the years Thanksgiving day was the fashionable day to make culls. Receptions were held and the Thanksgiving ball was popular B was good form for the gentle folk to keep open house on that day. Ancient Origin of Thanksgiving Thanksgiving day is not an American Institution, in spite of the fact that It Is now one of our most popular holidays. The proclamation of Governor Bradford was not for the first Thanksgiving day. In the Bible there are many references to feast i of Thanksgiving day ami the custom can be traced back to the Canaanites from whom the Children of Israel copied many of their traditions, in the book of Judges we read: "Ami they went out into the field ami gathered their vineyards and trode the grupes, and held festival and went into the house of the r god and did eat an I drink." The vintage or harvest celebt alien appeared liter among the Hebrews and as an art of worship wa called the Feast of the Tabernacles." In I.eiiterononty Moses transmitted directions about the holiday. First American Thanksgiving The first Thanksgiving day in North America was held in Newfoundland by an English ministi r named Wolfall. in the year 1578. This gentleman o< • (ompanied the Frobisher expeditiot and the records are thus preserved in the. ship's log: "On Monday morning. May 27, 1578, aboard the Ayde wo received all communion by the minister of Gravesend and prepared as good Christians toward God and resolut ■ men for all fortunes and toward night we departed toward Tilberry Hope. Here we prayed God and altogether on our knees gave Him due humbl * and hearty thanks. And Maister Wolfall, a learned man. appointed by her majesty's council to be our minister, made unto us a goodly sermon, exhorting all especially to be thankfid to God for His strange and tniraculou -. in ■—■m in .. i

s delivertim <> In those dangerous places." The earliest record of any ( similar observance was within the I boundaries of the present territory of i the United States and was held by the Popham colony settled at Sagadahoc, on tli<> const of Maine in Au- ■ gust, IGO7. Os course, these early i American Thanksgiving ceremonies ■ did not cover h time, probably not f more than thru- or four hours. » The Real Origin. i The first real harvest festival In i America was held by the Pilgrims in i IG2I and was lustitutid by Governor i Bradford, the first governor of the I Massai husetts < olony. The hitter wini t.-r of the Pilgrims' first year in I America left only 55 of the 10l colo- - nlsts who had <otne over in the May- ■ flower, but the plentiful harvest of > 1621 lill'-d their hearts with hope and I thankfulness. LEADERS WIN (Continued From Page One) point on Andrews' foul. Crist fouled I Hippe, but Hippe missed the free throw. However, Hippo caught the ball on the rebound ami tossed it In through the hoop for a two-ptdfttcr. Bryan, missed a free chance on Kyle's foul. Buckner made one point on Andrews' foul. Johnson returned to the game, Bu« kner going out. Byerly made one point on Rippe'a foul. Rippe made a field goal, bringing the store up to 17-16. Andrews widened th ’margin with a pretty field goal. Crist fouled Ripp®. Bluffton took time out with one and on< half minutes to play. When the play was resumed Rippe ■ made two points on the foul. Both team began to fight hard. Bluffton to overcome the one-point lead, and De* catur to hold on to the margin of vic tory until the times's gun cracked. De catur won out. The crowd was root- j ing wildly daring the last few minutes ' Clyde Hendricks of Monroe refereed I the first half and Coleman, of Bluffton handled the second half. ’ On Tuesday night of next week, the I ■ aders will play the Huntington Buddies on the new high school gym nasiuni floor here. The’ Buddies is one of the strongest teams in Huntington. being composed of former high school and college stars. A fast clean game is promised the local fan- 1 when these two teams meet.
