CAUSE FOR JOY ON THANGSGIVING

You Will Have It If You Know. Every Family in Rensselaer is Enjoying a Good Dinner. I * *** You will have real joy for Thanksgiving if you have contributed to the plan to have t bountiful dinner in every home in*Rensselaer on That day. Rensselaer has followed this custom for*U*my years and the responses have generally proved quite adequate for’all needs. This year we should not fail and we will not if all will do their ..part to make others happy. The annual Thanksgiving entertainment takes place at the Presbyterian church tonight. A splendid program has been arranged fqr. your entertainment and your part in’the plan is to contribute toward those who are less fortunate than you. Dressed poultry, potatoes, butter, fruit, canned goods and money are needed. - Last year more than thirty families were supplied and there was real thanksgiving for those who gave as well as for those who received. The ministers of the city will be assisted by the Asociated Board of Charities in distributing the things that have been provided. The distributions are made with good judgment and there need be no fear that the provisions will not fall into needy homes. Open your hearts beyond your own comfort and give toward making real thanksgiving in other homes. It will add to your own appreciation of-what the day means.
