Major Torgerson lsv
Kiwanis Speaker
Some of the privileges and op
portunities enjoyed by people of
this day and age were commented
on briefly in a Thanksgiving day
talk presented at Kiwanis club
Monday noon by Major Iver Tor
gerson of the local Salvation
Army. Pointing out the idea of a
thanksgiving is very old and that
it has been observed in many
ways through the ages, the speak
er said he paid tribute to his par
ents who handed on a heritage
not a heritage of dollars and cents,
but something beyond.
The challenge to all today is
that they also will hand down to
their children that something
which means fat1 more than dol
lars and cents, Major Torgerson
said, commenting on the training
and the interest needed for all
ages in the church,
We can be thankful for being
able to worship according to our
own conscience, ,and the speaker
went on to say what a privilege
that is.
The spirit of doing something
for others and the need for greater
effort on the part of all organized
groups to place the spiritual above
material were other points stressed
by the speaker.
L. Clifton Culp was in charge
of the program.
