Thanksgiving Day
“Dear the people coming home, Dear glad faces long away. Dear the merry cries, and dear All the glad and happy play. Dear the thanks, too, that we give For all of this, Thanksgiving Day.” This simple verse was written many years ago by Harriet Prescott Spofford. It tells of the traditional Thanksgiving — the Thanksgiving our grandfathers knew, and that Currier and Ives immortalized in engravings. It was, of course, a day of rest and feasting. But it was more, much more —a day of prayer in which gratitude was offered for the good things of the past, and hope was held out for the future. And it was a day of affirmation in the existence of a higher power than man, and of faith in the workings of a divine providence. We live now in an infinitely more complicated time. A sophistication of dubious quality has obscured many values. Materialistic advances of almost incredible dim-
A Real Thrift Idea
During the past week newspaper space was given to the Christmas clubs formed by local banks. Many of us were surprised to find how much money was saved by local people to be returned to them at this time to pay for their Christmas expenses. This has proved a good idea, and the
A Joy of Small Town Living
—Galien River Gazette, Three Oaks, Mich. One of these days, like the fellow said, we’it going to sit down and write a book, and its title will be something like “The Pleasures of Small Town Living.” One chaptei- will be devoted exclusively to a small delight that can only be appreciated by one who has battled the expressway traffic in rush hours in Chicago or Detroit or a similar metropolis. It is nice to sit in our usual morning stupor at the breakfast table and hear the helicopter patrol over Chicago tell about a monstrous tie-up on the Skyway or a three-mile backup on the Congress Expressway. We can, at these moments, recall those daily battles we used to wage on the Detroit expressways. There was the fight to get on these alleged speedways. Sometimes you could go a mile or two towards down-

THE VETERAN IN YOUR BLOCK In every small town, or city, in Indiana, veterans of military service are to be found in almost every block. And not just in Indiana. Some of us, including a certain well-known PT boat skipper, look back twenty years to the menace of Hitler in Europe and Japanese suicide divebombers in the Pacific. Younger men have memories of Korea only ten years ago. And there are still a lot of men proud of the “doughboy” name they earned in the trenches of France in their youth. How many veterans are there? Would you guess ten million ? Fifteen million ? Or would it surprise you that the figure comes to about 22 million? That’s more than six times the number of farmers in the country. It’s nearly double the number in factory production work. And it’s almost a third as many as the nearly 69 million who voted in the last presidential election. Indiana alone has 545,000 ex-Gl’s, and few of us are without veterans among our own relatives. It’s no wonder, then, that veters ans’ affairs are a big concern in this country, right down to the smallest hamlet. For the Federal Government, veterans are big business —a $6-billion business, in fact. About 6 million veterans hold S4O-billion in GI insurance. World War II and Korea veterans have borrowed $52-billlon from the government to buy homes. Two million receive pensions for sev-vice-connected disabilities, a million more have non-service dis-

ension have dulled the needs and wants of the spirit. And we live, too, in a world so tom with dissension, covering every aspect of human affairs, that, to many, the real relevance of Thanksgiving has been largelyTost—the eternal is buried under the pressures of the moment. We have the feast—without remembering and pondering, the reason for the feast. Perhaps this all may change. Perhaps this Thanksgiving Day, great numbers of us will observe it in the spirit of our forefathers. If so, it will truly be a day of thanks for the blessings of the past, broken with troubles as they may have been—and a day in which we will find new courage to meet whatever is to come. Then, above all, it will be a day in which we realize deeply another thing our forefathers knew—that, under God, each individual human being owes an everlasting debt of duty and responsibility to his family and his neighbors, and that no institution and no government can discharge it for him.

town at 50 mph before the tie-ups started. Then you’d see the taillights blinking on as brakes were applied a half mile or so ahead, and the stop-and-go tango along the Edsel Ford expressway would be underway. Usually it was that way all the way to the parking lot, a crow flight of maybe eight miles, an expressway ride of 15, and a time-consumer of anything from 30 to 60 minutes, depending on weather, number of cars, and the disposition of the drivers. So it’s nice to nod over the morning coffee and realize that the closest thing to a traffic tie-up we’ll witness might be a 30-second wait at Ash and Cedar while a truck goes by, although there may be a traffic jam of four cars in front of the post office for the morning mail.
ability payments. The Veterans’ Administration has 175,000 employees and runs 170 hospitals, where more than 700,000 ex-Gl’s are admitted every year—not to mention 18 homes and 93 out-pa-tient clinics. In the last Congress well over 400 bills affecting veterans were introduced. The House has a separate Veterans’ Affairs Committee, but in the Senate the overloaded Finance Committee and the Labor and Education Committee, with only their regular staffs, get all veterans’ bills. A standing committee with its own staff could coordinate all veterans’ affairs in the Senate, a measure recently introduced for the benefit of all veterans, not just in Indiana but in the whole of this “land of the free.” Veterans are too important to be less than a full-time concern by the country. After all, the country was their full-time concern for quite a while. HODGES LISTS CAMPAIGN COST Mayor Paul E. (Mike) Hodges lists expenses of $1,709.05 for his unsuccessful campaign for re-e---lection in the Nov. 5 city elections. In his listing, filed with the county clerk, the mayor noted campaign contributions of $1,386. 25, leaving a campaign deficit of $322.80. waMifiitlJ
FARM NOTESIffiS&
DON FRANTZ County Agriculture Agent THE RESULTS of the fiveacre corn contest should be ready in a few weeks. The yield calculations are not made here but are determined by the secretary of the Indiana Com Growers Association. We have found that our checking system has been pretty accurate when compared with actual harvest weights when picker losses are considered. We do tend to get the lower yields a little higher than they should, be but the top yields have been close when we have checked back after the field is picked. My guess is that the top yields will go somewhere around 150 bushels this year. WAYNE BOUSE of Silver Lake and Mrs. Amer Koontz of Sidney will be attending the Governors’ Conference on Rural Youth in a Changing Environment to be held Nov. 26 at Purdue university. They will be representing the 4-H club and home demonstration councils of Kosciusko county. The conference is co-sponsored by the Indiana Youth Council and the Extension Service. THE PROBLEM of the com with red stripes has been a puzzler. Most of it is in the area north and east of here and has caused a dockage of a cent or two in price. It seems to have been the result of the extremely variable weather during the growing season and has no bearing on the feeding value. The discount in price is due to the standards by which not over five per cent can be off color. THE COUNTY 4-H grain show Women’s building on the fair-

Dear Amy: I have been dating a girl for ; two years and though she is very sweet and I enjoy her company, I consider myself a confirmed bachelor. How she puts up with : my whims and wiles, I don’t know, but in appreciation, I would like to get her a very special gift for her birthday. What do you suggest? Doug Dear Doug: An ENGAGEMENT RING! Dear Amy: My sister and I are both in our late 30’s. Do you think we are old enough to do what we want to? We have a sister and brother who live nearby and they are always telling us what to do and where tc go. They don’t want us to have dates with men at all and they watch our house all the time. My sister and I want to move from this town. Would you advise us to go or should we stay here and let them Kye our lives. Our parents have passed on and we would be happy to sell the home they left us and go somewhere else. M and C Dear M and C: You have long since passed the age for baby sitters. It’s time to live a little ... but not there. Sell! ♦• • 1 Dear Amy: Before I married, my husband 1 told me of the ‘other woman’ with ; whom he lived. He told me there < were no children but now I have my doubts. Just recently he re- ; ceived a registered letter from < the Welfare Board saying that his WIFE was applying for aid for herself and the two children. i At first he denied the letter was for him then admitted it but he says she is not his wife nor are ; the children his. Should I try to find out the truth or should I believe my husband? I really don’t think he’s telling me the truth, but how do I find out? .; I have 3 children and we all -love ' him.

is scheduled for Dec. 5 to 7 at the grounds. Club members will bring in the gallon small grain samples on Thursday afternoon before 5 p. m. Classes will be judged on Friday, Dec. 6, and exhibits will be released the next morning, on Saturday. Corn exhibits will include both 10 ear samples and one-gallon shelled corn samples. All other grain exhibits will be one gallon samples. Many hours of hand picking and sorting goes into the preparation of a good grain sample. The grain show is the exhibit for completion of the 4-H members enrolled in corn, soybean, wheat, oats, barley, popcorn, and hay. Potatoes are also exhibited at this time which will include a uniform sample of 20 potatoes. THE ANNUAL meeting of the stockholders of the Kosciusko County Fair Association will be the second week in December at the fairgrounds. The new building on the grounds will be completed very soon and will be a great asset to the community. It will have two general meeting rooms, and one large enough for four or five hundred people and the other of about a capacity of one hundred. The building, plumbing and heating, a new well and parking facilities are financed by the fair association. The Shrine club is putting in the ceiling and lights and will furnish the kitchen and some interior fixtures. . MARY CARTER PAINTS 524 S. Buffalo Street WARSAW, INDIANA

get the truth. If you find that your husband has committed bigamy, get yourself a lawyer. You wouldn’t want to live with a man who already has a wife, would you? Dear Amy: Kindly tell me what the name ‘family’ stands for. I have two sons, one I live with, the other is married. When I receive a card or letter addressed: ‘‘Mrs. J. R. S. and. Family” does that not include my married son as well as the one I live with? I insist it does, but I get into arguments constantly. I am embarrassed to ask about such a simple question as this. To settle this everlasting argument, please explain it as plain as a teacher would in the first grade. Mrs. J. R. S. Dear Mrs. J. R. S.: To settle this argument once and for all, a card or letter addressed the way you describe does not include your married son. It is meant only for these members of your family living under your roof . . . and this I have direct from the leading authority on etiquette, Miss Amy Vanderbilt. ■♦ * * Dear Amy: About three weeks ago I asked this girl for a date. We are very close friends and have been for a long time. When I asked her to go out with se, she said that she didn’t care to go because we had too much in Common and that her going out with me might spoil our friendship. I thought about what she said for a long time and then one day I told her that I felt the more two people had in common that the .better, they would get along . . . especially on a date. Isn’t that right, Amy? Dave Dear Dave: You didn’t get the message. When a girl tells you she likes you for a friend, she means you ‘don’t send her!’ • * * * Address all letters to: AMY ADAMS c/o THIS NEWSPAPER For a personal reply enclose a stamped, self-addressed envelope.
