‘Churches Condition ~ Isn’t Critical,

Kirchhoffer, bishop of the Episcopal diocese of Indianapolis was

ley in California.

In a dianapolis churches yesterday, Bishop Kirchhoffer said, “I want to assure you that I am not critically ill and my doctors assure me that if I follow their instructions, which are for complete rest, I shall be back in the spring in better shape than I have been this fall. A few months of separation now will assure us of years together in the future.”. Bishop Kirchhoffer said in his letter that although he was in bed for three weeks in Indianapolis before going to California Nov. 14 that he had been able to complete all his fall, appointments except one and the confirmation appointments.

Bishop Kirchhoffer said in his

he was not critically ill was was sitting up to write the letter. He said, however, that his doctors had ordered him: to give up all. diocesan work for a period of months. The pastoral letter expressed also the bishop’s regret that his illness should come so soon after the diocese had been crippled by the long illness of the Rt. Rev. Joseph MarShall i Francis, his predecessor, now ad. s .

instructions tp rest came from his doctor exactly one year .after his election as bishop. He came to the Indianapolis diocese from a pastorate in Mobile, Ala.

Thanksgivings this year, but Thanksgiving mixup record seems to go to a small town in Iowa, where the city Fathers are giving che folks their choice

of five different days on which to enjoy

their turkey. But such a national symbol has the gobbler become, that its presence on

the dinner table is proof enough of Thanksgiving Day, no matter what the calendar says. : What, indeed, would Thanksgiving Day be without the turkey? And what would the turkey be withoutghe fixin’s. And, folks, what would the‘ whole feast

be without Hi-Bru?

Pilgrims Some historians say the Pilgrims landed at what became Plymouth because they ran out of beer. They’d used up all their water on the long, weary voyage and then broached their beer casks, When the beer was gone, there was nothing to do but row ashore for fresh water. They liked the spot and stayed. : That reminds me. Always keep a

-- good supply of Hi-Bru in your refrig-

erator for yourself and company. If you run out of it, just phone your neighbor-

_ hood dealer. He always has plenty. Our 57 big delivery trucks see to that \

Turkey A favorite picture of my boyhood showed a sturdy Pilgrim trudging through the deep snow with a blunderbuss under his. arm and a wild turkey slung over his shoulder. Wild turkeys used to be plentiful here7

abouts. Turkey-shoots were held by our early settlers and frontiersmen. As for me, I’m satisfied with the domestic variety, roasted just right—with a glass of tangy Hi-Bru towash it down. Can’t beat that combination.

Crow - One of our distributors was telling the other day about a Jap rooster that crows every day at dawn and every half hour thereafter right on the dot, 23 seconds was his longest crow, Well, maybe. We've got folks in our organization who crow oftener and longer than that. About Hi-Bruof course. Pretzels : Pretzels were originally given by priests to children who learned all their prayers, according to This Week. The design is supposed to represent arms pe :

folded in an attitude of prayer. What-

ever their origin, they taste mighty good with Hi-Bru. We're fond of crunching them ourselves,

Dickens The woman at whose farm home Charles Dickens, the famous English novelist, used to visit to enjoy her freshbaked bread and home-brewed beer, died recently at the age of 95. If she lived that long on home-brew, she’d probably have become a real Methuselah on Hi-Bru, which is brewed under strict scientific control and the most modern hygienic conditions. Pleasant : Well, folks, amar or far, we wish you all a mighty pheasant Thanksgivi no matter what day you have it on.
