SANTA CLAUS LAND . . Teu’d never convince the younger •et, but thia photo shows the real Santa Claus land—Antalya tn Southern Turkey, capital of the province where St. Nicholas wan born, lived and became a legend 1600 years ago. Snow and reindeer are never seen tn this lush land on the shores of the Eastern Mediterranean where swimming on Christmas Day Is common. They Came To The Party, Too Ml *- k*h(ftQi Canadian Railway t The Thomas family, who are the only wintertime residents of Government Park, Ontario, Canada, a fishing camp on Cedar Lake in Algonquin Park along the Trans-Continental Line of the Canadian National Railways, set up their Yuletide Christmas tree, complete with lights and tinsel, on the back porch. Two young deer, whose mother was a pet of the Thomas* after they had saved her from a pack of wolves when she was a helpless fawn, attracted by the colored lights, invited themselves to the Christmas party. Anticipating they would be attracted, a "trap” was set to flash a bulb and trip a camera so the deer could take their own picture. The camera caught one of the curious animals, minus an antler apparently lost in an encounter with a tree or another of his kind, sniffing the decorations as hia twin-antlered brother looks do. fNS Thanksgiving Message, 1955 By Chaplain (Major General) Patrick J. Ryan Chief of Chaplains, United States Army Each day God continues to bestow ffis blessings upon us and our Nation. In return, we offer to. God our thanks. We place ourselves under God. We ask Him to direct and to guide us in doing what is right. We give thanks for His favors. This is the essence of thanksgiving and the spirit of our Thanksgiving holiday. The traditional festive board, the exciting sports events, and other holiday attractions are good iu their, proper place. They must not be accentuated, however, to the point where we forget to put first things first —thanking God. When God becomes the center of our Thanksgiving Day, then the pleasures we enjoy and the things we do take on meaning and purpose. When we lead our military forces in prayerful thanks to God on Thanksgiving Day, then Thanksgiving 1955 is a real thanksgiving. My staff joins me in wishing you the joys and blessings of a happy Thanksgiving in the spirit of the First Thanksgiving Proclamation: "Wherefore, I, James Bradford, Governor of this group of people, do announce this season of prayer and thanksgiving to Almighty God. "For the once, ye people will forsake ye implements of honorable toil and will assemble in feasting and dutiful worship.” rt- .y \ i&r '■ <' »' ■<\ 1 ~< .
