The time, for many, is one of celebration, of merrymaking-. But the holiday was conceived in misery. Pilgrims lashed by' intolerance fled to America. Storms forced them fiTm their Virginian goal and brought them to the forbidden coast of1 Massachusetts. ' ' There they scratched in the diit and planted their crops with' 'one eye on the Indians. But sickness had taken its toll among the redskins, and they were friendly to the settlers. '"''In the' autumn the Pilgrims harvested their crops and made ready for the winter and its rigors. it was a great contrast, iney landed with nothing; now they had comparative abundance. " Humbly, they bowed their heads and gave thanks to an j almighty providence. They bade the Indians come from the forest and join them in three.' days of feasting and thanksgiving. ' The joyous , laughter of, high-hatted men and hooded women metJiie stoical faces of jthe' natives. """So""was llie' first Thanskgiving Day in America observed.

The false economic prosperity of the war days ruled the market place. The nation was battle-weary and afraid. Abraham Lincoln, in the midst of this unrest, proclaimed that the fourth Thursday in November of that year, and of succeeding years, should 'be set aside as a day of thanks giving. 'Wars and depressions in many years have made a deep imprint on the observances, but always the holiday carries through. And so today does it bring to 1933 the spirit first expressed in 1621 the spirit of gratitude for blessings received, of thankfulness too for troubles averted. ' Again the nation bows its head. ...
