A SONG OF THANKSGIVING EDITOR'S NOTE Clarence Hawkes, blind poet-naturalist of Hadley. Mass., finds cause for Thanksgiving, even after living a full half i entury in total darkness. He has written for the United Press the following Thanksgiving poem: By CLARENCE HAWKES, The Blind Poet of Hadley, Mass. (Written for the United Press I <) gracious God whose bounteous hand, Has blessed this year our native land. We thank Thee for the hope of spring, When trees did bud, and birds did sing. We thank Thee for the summer time. Os sun and rain, and days sublime. But most of all we sing Thy praise, For mellow Autumn's harvest days. When fruit and grains our blns did fill, Obedient to Thy bounteous will. Thy promises in bud and flower. Redeemed to us tills day and hour. Now comes the feast of all the year. - * To thankful hearts, the time most dear, 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. For life, and home, and native land. And all for which our people stand. It we forget Thy loving care, If we return not thanks in prayer, O. God of Mercy, through Thy grace, Hide not from us Thy smiling face. if we have suffered in the past. Let bitterness from us be cast, That crushing sense of grief and pain. That scorched the heart and seared the brain. Pour in rich floods of Thy dear love, That falls, like dew. from heaven above. Let smiles be seen above the feast, So bounteous for man and beast. Let us uphold that Pflgrim faith, * That trusted Thee through life and death. Let gratitude in every way. Abide with us Thanksgiving Day.

County Clerk Werling has decid- | >sl wisely that the way to stop dis- - cussion about affairs in hi* office I is to have the state board of ac- ■ counts examine his records and I books and has so petitioner! them. ' That they will find every thing in I exact balance Is the opinion of i hose who have knowledge of the affairs in that office where every thing has been operated in a high , class manner during Mr. Werling's administration. Every day come new stories from Washington of the efforts which I the Roosevelt administration are] i making to aid the business rei covery of the nation. It seems in- ; redihle that a program could be , ' so far-reaching and so well put to- , gether. Before the election of 1932 ' the people said they wanted a : President who would do something. ! They certainly chose the right I man.- Port Wayne Journal-Gazette. With William H. Settle, president of the Indiana Farm Bureau and Dr. A. J.

Mo. The results of those i surveys, he declares, supply positive proof of the high economic I \alue of advertising to consumers as well as to manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers. He says: Making use only of material that has already appeared, it can be stated that the consumer normally ' receives 50 cents in return for every 5 cents expended for drug and cosmetics advertising:" ♦ — • Answers To Test Questions Below a.o the Answers to the | Test Questions Printed □n Page Two. 1 • - —• 1.

Restoration Not Planned The Interior Department s Office of National Parks, Buildings and Reservations, which has charge of the work*, does uot Intend to even attempt to make complete restorations of the historic spots. Where , 'any old fortifications or other landI marks still are standing, they will be restored ui a certain degree so I that they at least will not decay or rot. On the other hand, where none of the original objects are i left, the authorities will not try to bring in imitations simply to make ■ it look real. "When the plans laid out by the II Office of National Parks and exe- > cuted by emergency conservation labor are in operation.'' said Fech- ‘ ner, "these great historic areas will become field laboratories for stuI dents of history in every school in I the land.
