Thanksgiving, 1947, holds much for this na*
tion to point with pride at in the world of to
day. We may have our troubles at home with
high prices, which are still rising, hut we dd
not have hunger as may be seen at every turn
in Europe, including England.
During war years, when many were away
in defense of this country, there seemed times
when it was stretching the imagination to re
count blessings for which we might offer our
thanks. That has passed, but results of war
are ever-present just the same.
There seems times that the United Nations
organization is standing still—getting nowhere
at all. However, We may rest assured that as
long as any nation is willing to sit in confer
ence, war is still some distance away.
These United States, in 1947, produced one
of history’s bumper crops. There is plenty to
eat, and people of this counthy are eating—
eating well at every meal. .
Today, as we sit at our tables, could we all
pause one moment and reflect upon the many
blassings that are our—that is not too difficut
a job to do, regardless of your bank account.

Starts This Issue
A column, full of hints for
the lady of the home, begins in
this issue under guidance of Mrs.
Aldene Roberts, county home
demonstration agent, who al
ready has gained a large fol
lowing over the county through
her work.
“This is a grand opportunity
for me to contact the homemak
ers of the Brookings-Harbor
area before I start talking about
anything else and this is my
way of doing just that,” she
says, in her letter to the Pilot.
