Thankfulness.” Mrs. Shamp said that while Thanksgiving today is a distinctively American holiday, wo may trace its origin back through the ages and the nations to the land of the Canaanites from whom many of the children of Israel copied many of their customs. The Pilgrims, after landing on December 21, 1620‘ on Plymouth Rock lived on the Mayflower until they were able to build homes. It was with the harvest of their first crop the next fall, that they celebrated with Thanksgiving, for their bountiful supply of food for the coming winter. There were many days of Thanksgiving celebrated during the years when the people were really thankful. but it was not until in 1864 that President Lincoln issued a proclamation appointing the fourth Thursday of November as the official Thanksgiving Day.

ARMY DEVELOPS SEARCHLIGHT Washington, Nov. 20.— (U.R) While the Army Air Corps has been busy during the last year devising means of attack, the Corps of Engineers has been working to develop more brilliant scan Alights to I aid anti-aircraft batteries in shoot ing down aerial enemies. Maj. Gen. Lytle Brown. Chief of Engineers, in his annual report to Secretary of War Hurley, said extensive searchlight tests had been carried out during the last year. Brown said he believed there should be developed a type of project and a power unit which could be manufactured in great numbers "in the event of an emergency." Total enrollment in the Engineering Units of the R. O. T. C. throughout the country during the last fiscal year was 6,442, of which 20.3 per cent represented students in the advanced course. There was a decrease of 30 in the number enrolled in the advance course and of 870 in the basic course, as compared with the previous year. Army engineers kept busy during the last year making maps in Panama and in the United States and devising defense plans for American harbors. o Depew’s Business Life I Chauncey Depew was so well known as an orator and after-dln-I ner speaker that many people lose sight of the fact that he was a , prominent lawyer, bank director and I milway executive. He served two I terms In the United States senate and attended every Republican na tlonal conventbin from 18SS to 11124 In 11124 he was a delegate, hut HI ness prevented his attendance.

ARMY AIR CORPS HAS DECREASE IN ACCIDENTS Maj- Gen. Fechet Makes Annual Report To Secretary Hurley Washington, Nov. 20.— <U.R> — A vast decrease in the number of fatal accidents in the Army Air Corps, both absolutely and in proportion to "flying hours,", was reported today to Secretdry of War Hurley by Maj. Gen. James E, Fechet, chief of the air corps. Only 21 men were killed in the air service during the fiscal year 1930-1931 as compared with 37 in the previous year and 45 ten years ago. An even more pronounced safety trend was reflected in the “fatal accident per flying hour" report. A decade ago pilots flew 77,351 hours with a loss of 45 lives, or one death for each 1,718 hours in the air. In the fiscal year 19301931 "flying hours" totalled 396,961. There were 21 fatal accidents. One for each 18,900 air hours. Chances Increase Thus, a pilot may now expect to fly 11 times as long without a fatal accident as he could have in the early post-war years. Non-fatal accidents are decreasing, Fechet said. Although the total number of accidents in the last fiscal year—4s6—was more than in 1921—361—there were less in proportion to the time aloft. In 1921 there was no accident for each 214 hours of flying time, and last year only one to each 870 hburs. Fechet reported that the commissioned strength of the Air Corps was increased by 33 officers last year, bringing the total to 1,236. New Aerial Film The Air Corps has developed a new aerial film which makes it possible to take photographs at sunrise and sunset, a feat hitherto impossible. It also lias adopted a new camera capable of picturing 126.4 square miles at one exposure made from a height of 15,000 feet. Contrary to popular belief, Fechet said, the lighter-tlian-air division of the Air Corps has found the use of helium in balloons to be more economical than hydrogen. Frechet said a scheme for the solidification of helium has been presented to the Bureau of Mines for further investigation. PLANS STARTED FOR SERVICES IN THIS CITY (COHTINU£D FROM PAPS ?NE Dugan, C.
