17—Thanksgiving comes but once

— But every day is Thanksgiving Day to the Janis Argals

family. Their delight in the daily marvels of living in the United States gradually is blotting out the grim memories of what life was like behind the Iron Curtain in their native Riga, Latvia.

Janis and Velta Argals, and their two daughters, Inta and Dagni, and their son, little (meaning junior) Janis, came to Amerfca the last day in November, 1950. Since that day they have .seen miraculous dreams come ytrue. Today, they bought their “first auto, which is only one exsample of recurring miracles in ‘those first 12 months.

Janis and Velta were driven from their Latvia home in 1940 by the Communists . . . they were among the few fortunate ones to Ret away. With only the possessions that could be carried in packs on their | backs. they stole into the night.

The turkeys prospered and Janis had a hankering for some geese, “Geese.” Janis remembers. “can live on little, eating everything and their down makes wonderful soft pillows.” “Are you going to have a turkey dinner?” I asked the happy family. *“Noono,” Janis reflected pleasantly. “we must save these turkeys and geese for seed . . . this spring we” shall set the hens and then NEXT THANKSGIVING we will eat turkey!” Inta attends the Hamilton public school, near the little farm and Dagnia rides the school bus to a grade school in Perkinsville Both girls are doing well.
