American customs and traditions
to gather in our severaj places of
worship, aad fas our homes and the
homes of our "friends-, to red edi
ts te -ourselves to the causes and
aims and Ideals which Have made
this country great and free.
"It has even been mankind's
convention, in the late fall, to
celebrate the harvest by festival
-and prayer, and by giving thanks
to divine power. And America,
more than ever before, has so
much for which to give thanks.
"We are a free people, with op-
" . ti l f v
ponuniiies oecaoning. roa nas
resources, in the development of
our people, In our way of life. Our
forefathers have bestowed, upon
tis a type of government which,
though not perfect, comes closer
to providing each person with his
Inherent rights than any other
government -4n the 'history of
mankind. 1
"On this Thanksgiving day, let
us. by all means, count our mani
fold blessings. But, too. let us re
member that the world cannot
long remain half fed and half
starved, half slave and half free,
half peaceful and half in turmoil.
A better world can be ours, and
we must bend all our efforts
toward a future universal Thanks
giving day."

At Hearing

Jerry Voorhis, representing the
Cooperative league of the USA,
told the house ways and means
committee today "you can't wipe
out the inherent strength of the
cooperatives - - which lies in the
fact that they belong to the peo
ple whose needs they serve."
"I am firmly of the opinion."
he said, "that the small business
men, who have been shoved to
the front in the attack on cooper
atives, are 'quite unwitting tools
of the very monopolistic forces
that actually are today destroying
the very opportunity for existence
of small business."
The former democratic -member
of congress from California said
that about the only way to destroy
a co-op. In which persons combine
for savings in. purchases or mar
keting, "isstnake it illegal to Join
a cooperative."

Postmaster
Sfeeks to Avoid
Yuletide Rush
The usual pre-Yuletide plea of
"get your Christmas packages
mailed and your stamps purchas
ed early came from Postmaster
Albert Gragg Thursday.
In anticipation of an ever-Increasing
flood of Christmas mail
coming into Salem, Gragg has
leased a portion of Starr Fruit
Products warehouse space at
Church and Mill streets for stor
age space. No outgoing mail will
be - kept there, Gragg said. The
lease runs from December 15 to
31. Incoming mail will be taken
directly from the trains to the
warehouse.
Gragg also reported that begin
ning about December 15 approxi
mate 50 additional carriers will
be hired to augment the present
carrier staff of 46. He said that
from 20 to 25 additional clerks
also will be used.
Speaking from past! years' ex
perience Gragg advised local resi
dents to get their Christmas mail,
especially packages, into the mails
by December 10. In order to
avoid standing in long stamp lines,
Gragg also urged patrons to buy
their Christmas mail stamps early
in December.
