Thanks for all your good will and good patronage the past year. The Daily Democrat to some of the folks —only three dollars per year—will make as fine a Christmas gift as you cau give. No paper tomorrow, while the boys and the boss enjoys the Thanksgiving holiday. Be with you Friday with all the news of the community. So far only $237 has been reported in memberships for the Red Cross. That’s just about a fourth of the quota and we ought to past that SI,OOO goal easily. The 1938 auto plates are here and you can get them any time between December 10th and the 31st. The earlier you get that job out of the way. the easier it will be. Every nation, or almost so, continue to give the Japs the dickens but they keep up their march across China. Surely there is something wrong with a world that permits such invasions. While observing Thanksgiving, don’t overlook that one good way to show you mean it, is to join the Red Cross. That’s a great organization for charity and each year performs a wonderful work. Mayor Bangs of Huntington. who seems never to be happy, unless in court one way or another, is fighting a trial to impeach him this week. When he doesn t have headlines for his newspaper he makes them. It's Thanksgiving and we hope every one in this area has plenty to eat. a good old fashioned visit with relatives and friends and remembers to be thankful for the thousands of good things that come to them daily. The final major football game of the season for this section will be Notre Dame vs. Southern California at South Bend next Saturday and a bunch of fans from this city and county will be there to watch the great classic. The old thermometer got down to twelve above zero this week, which we don’t mind telling you, is doggoned cool for this early in the season. At that rate we will need a couple of suits of old fashioned red flannels before the blue birds arrive in the spring. Santa is coming December 6th. boys and girls, and you arc urged to be good so he will have a smile and a hearty old wag of the head for you. He may even pass out a treat. Any way he is on the way and promises to be here on schedule. Watch for him. 'John L. DeVoss will be in charge of the President’s ball next January and will do his best to make it as big as was ever given here. The proceeds of course go to aid those afflicted with infantile paralysis. Half of the amount is retained here ,

i and will be used in the future to give aid to local persons unfortunately maimed by the dread disease.' A lot of folks fairly lick their I. lips as they pass the word around t that conditions are bad We heard t one fellow remark that this was a worse depression than the Hoo-! 1 ver panic. Os course he didn't be-, lleve that himself, but he seemed > to get a lot of pleasure out of talk- ) ing It. After all, regardless of ! politics, we ought to boost this ) country. After all it's a tine place > to live and it's better when things [ are moving. A pull together, a fair deal to every one, will bring about good times in a short time. Work on the new Decatur high school building must start not later than January 4th and the board of trustees is making every possible effort to meet that requirement. The plans will soon be adopted and advertisements. published asking for bids on the construction. Every one is hop-, ing there will be no slip up now I that we have progressed this far and so far as can be seen there is not going to be any. It will be one of the finest improvements the | city has made in a decade or two. A DIFFERENT THANKSGIVING: What have you and I to be thankful for? Citizens will be asking themselves this question, as i they have asked it other years But they will no longer look ahead with dismay and doubt. For they • will count their blessings, not . measure their wants and needs. They w ill look back to the dark | days of 1932 when men were in want and need. They will look back to homes about to be taken by sheriffs, to business about to be closed, never to open again. They will look into the abyss of failing banks They will remember how they went to work each morning, fearful that they would ’ return home at night without a j job. They will remember, too, the condition upon their farms, the ever-present threat of losing them. Then communism raised its hideous picture- There were those who wondered if communism were not better than what we had. They were ready to trade their right to . woj-ship. their rights of govern-: ing themselves, their rights to speak and read what they pleased for bread. No such threat today. The man j who talked of a revolution or the coming of a dictator in these days would be brushed aside by busier men, going with hope and confidence, to his job. Nor is there want and need. No. longer do men stand at long bread lines for food. No longer are they housed in hovels. They have food, clothing and shelter, things that I seemed so far away so brief a time ago. In Indiana, there is the greatest cause for thankfulness. Its schools | are open. The state contributes a larger share of teachers' salaries. The people have determined to have an educated citizenship. No future citizen will be permitted to grow to maturity in ignorance. Here, too, people may be thankful for a sound and a stable government. Here strikes are prevented. and settled before, not after they happen. Here the life of the individual is being protected against death and injury upon highway. Here . ■ . but why continue? In a word, the people on Thanksgiving will rejoice in the New Deal and in a government that supports I the New Deal with its blessings. o CIRCUIT COURT JCON T1N b ISV j* j-iOM estate of Frank W.

PARTAKERS OF OUR PLENTY (As the PILGRIMS told the story of their First THANKSGIVING FESTIVAL in 1621. The spelling is of that day.) Our harvest being gotten in, our Governour sent foure men on fowling, that so we might after a more special! manner rejoyce together, after we had gathered the fruit of our labours; they foure in this way killed as much fowle, as with a little helpe beside served the Company almost a weeke. at which time amongst other Recreations, we exercised our Armes, many of the Indians coming amongst us. and amongst the rest their greatest King Massasoyt, with some ninetie men. whom for three days we entertained and feasted, and they went out and killed five Deere, which they brought to the Plantation and bestowed on our Governour, and upon the Captaine. and others. And although it be not always so plentiful!, as it was at this time with us. yet by the goodnesse of GOD, we are so farre from want, that we often wish you partakers of our plentie.

SEAL SALE TO OPEN THURSDAY Annual Sale of Tubercuolosis Christmas Seals Opens Tomorrow Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 24 —Preparation* have begun In 92 Indiana i cotintleg for the annual sale of ! Tuberculosis Christmas Seals, which will start on Thanksgiving I Day. Dr. Stanley Coulter, chairman 1 tor the seal sale in Indiana, announced here today that a goal of seal sale in the United States. That Indiana citizens are intent ' on driving tuberculosis from among , us eventually, is apparent from the 'statistical record of the state’s fight ' under the banner of the double barred cross," Dr. Coulter said today. I "In 1910 when the Indiana tubercui losis association was organized, a 1 total of 4.710 persons died of tuberculosis and the death rate was 174 per 100.000 annually. A very small sum was contributed by citizens for Christmas Seale and the $200,000 has been set as the minimum goal for the state. This year will mark the thirty-first annual I beginning of organized work was J necessarily slow. Each year since then more and more citizens have come to 'know the significance of the little holiday emblem and the amount of money available for the control of tuberculosis has grown steadily. During the depression a recession In funds contributed was noted, but during the past three years there has again been a steady growth. The depression, too, has forced the tuberculosis death rate up, and in 1936, for the first time in 20 years, an increased death rate | for the United States over the previous year Is recorded. Christmas Seals itave made possible the establishment of sanatorium beds, clinics, aditional public health nursing facilities, school health activities, and a broad program of health eduI gJ V TVfITH every Tom, ** Dick and Harry probably eyeing your furs, the 'wise thing to do is insure them. • A Fur Floater Policy written by The Automobile Inaurance Company of Hartford, Connecticut provides "all fiait" protection at all timet, in all placet.
