Local Photographer Louisville Speaker 1.. E. Anspaugh, well known Decatur photographer, was the honored speaker before the professional photographers association of greater I/juisville, Ky., this week at the Holiday Inn in that city. Speaking before a group of specialists in portraiture, commercial- illustrative, newspaper, and motion picture photography, Anspaugh discussed creative camera room technique. Last spring Anspaugh won the president’s award for the best picture exhibited at the state convention of Indiana photographers. Three years ago he apoeared on the program of the Illinois professional photographers convention. He is a member and past president of the Daguerre club of Indiana. Mrs. Anspaugh accompanied him to Louisville. Anspaugh explained htat each pose should be an attempt at originality, showing the creative ability of the artist, to bring out the very | best characteristics of the subject. A photographer uses posing, lighting and expression in each successful portrait, emphasing them in varying ways. The attitude of the photographer is important, he stressed, to keep from drifting into the habit of photographing everyone the same way. Anspaugh illustrated his speech with examples of his own work.

j Thanksgiving Day Is Uniquely American

By LOUIS CASSELS United Press International Thanksgiving Day, which is coming up next week, is often described as a uniquely American institution. It is, in the sense that no other country observes such a national holiday. But the custom of holding a special harvest festival to return thanks to God did not originate in America. : The Bible-reading Pilgrims borrowed the whole idea from ancient Israel. The story of the real “first thanksgiving” is to be found in the 16th and 26th chapters of the Old Testament Book of Deuteronomy. They record the detailed instructions which Moses gave to the Jews for a holiday to be held exactly seven weeks after they began harvesting their first crop in the Promised Land. Rejoice In The Good The purpose of the holiday, ‘ M oses said, was to “rejoice in all the good which the Lord your | God has given to you and your ' household.” Moses was explicit about the manner in which the children of Israel were to show their gratitude. “You shall take some of the first of all the fruit of the ground which you harvest,” he said, “and you shall put it in a basket. . .” The basket was to be taker# to the altar of God’s house for dedication. Its contents were then to ; be distributed among widows, orphans, and others who had no harvest of their own. The Thanksgiving holiday which Americans will celebrate I next Thursday is a far cry from the one which Moses planned more than 3,000 years ago. We have subtracted a great deal that 1 Moses thought essential, and have added certain things, such j .as turkey dinners and football i games, which he probably would have considered irrelevant to such an occasion. But one can still detect, in the modern Thar&sgiving, at least a faint echo of the original idea that men can best thank God for their blessings by sharing them with others. Overseas Relief Programs During this season, all of America’s major religious faiths will be conducting their annual appeals to the public for contributions to overseas relief programs. Protestants will give to the “share our surplus” drive of

Church World World Service, which helps to underwrite shipments of U.S. foods to more than 10 million hungry people in 32 countries. <’atholics will donate wearable used clothing, shoes, blankets and bedding supplies for homeless people through the Bishops’ Thanksgiving Clothing Collection. Jews will contribute to the world’s needy through the United Jewish Appeal. All of these campaigns have a common theme: “Give thanks by giving.” Moses might not like anything else about the American Thanksgiving of 1962. But he would recognize and approve of that slogan. Firemen Picnic At Hoagland Tonight The Hoagland volunteer fire department will hold the 10th annual firemen’s picnic at the Hoagj land Hayloft tonight at 9 o’clock. The public is invited to attend for a donation of 75 cents. All proceeds will be used to buy fire fighting equipment.
