Pendleton. Ore., Nov. 27, 1918.
Dear "Plghtln-. Man":
' Maybe you think your bid home
county has forgotten you and her
' ' other 100 sons who went forth to
bnttle'lhe Hun. If so, your guess Is
far froni the, reality as the Raiser's
soul Is from Heaven, for the memory
ot the. boys who gave up their peace
ful pursuits hereabouts and who are
now serving tinder the Star Spangled
Banner on European bnttleflelds, on
ships of war and In camps and con
tainments Is nbout the llvest and
proudest memory that ever found
lodgement In these parts.
You and the other fellows who wear
the uniform have never been out of
mind or nut of heart and we believe,
you will find some gratification In the I
fact that your home county has not
yet failed to go "over the top" In your
support in all of tha many war fund
campaigns undertaken.
It has heretofore been Impossible
for any organisation or any Individ
ual to' send letters or other remem
brances ,to any considerable number
of the Tjov's In the" service because
there; hat' been' nOttaddresscs on fllej
' During thq past few months, however,
the Patriotic. I-agiia has. with the as
sistance of the newspapers ' of the
county and other agencies, been com
piling records of those who have
Joined the colors from ITmntllla coun
ty. To dnte there are between 1200
and 1300 names on record but the ad
dresses of only obont one-third this
number have been turned In. There-fort-
If there are other boys from thta
oountv In vonr camp or In your ship
who do not receive this remembrance
from home, please let them know that
It Is only because their addresses have
not been received and please share
with them the message here sent.
The Pendleton Itound-Pp and
and HnPI'V Conyon. the names of
which Institutions will probably con
jure up for most any one from this
part of the west happy memories and
hopes of "I-et "em Buck" times to
come, are Joining with the Patriotic
Service league In extending holiday
greetings to the fighting sons of I'ma

Oliver Trradeau died yesterday

after a lingering illness. The decens
ed wna well known here having- been
FORGOTIEN AS
F
Round-l'p and also a sheaf of "Teh
Buck Bills" of the familiar Happy
Canyon currency. They wllr serve to
remind you that the stay-at-hoines
have kept the home fires burning and
we believe they will afford you a lit
lo pleasure and perhaps help you to
sustain the reputation of your own
homeland among your comrades ot
many countries and many climes.
Aye wish it were possible to give
you all the home news you are want
ing but the narrow scope of a letter
only permits, of generalisation. We
will only say, then, that the county
managed to get through its harvest in
good shape despite the labor shortage,
that the Influenza epidemic, which has
grlpied town and countryside, ia be
ginning to subside; that fall weather
has been ideal for every line of indus
try, 'and that right now on' the eve ot
Thanksgiving we are all deeply
thankful for ninny things, but most of
all for the end of hostilities, which
you have helped to accomplish and
for the approaching time when tin
bcya who left the grandest county of
the grandest state of the grandest na
tion on earth to fight the cause of all
humanity will be coining back to re.
celve the reward of praise and grati
tude and nil else that they have
earned.
We hope yntt will receive this before
Christmas, when your thoughts will be
more than ever of home and when you
will bo missed more than ever at
home, but, whether you do or do not
we want you to know that never were
holiday greetings sent that were more
warm or more sincere. May the
Christmas Day, which' sees peace on
earth again restored, find you merr
at least in the thought of better times
to come, and may the New Year,
which ushers W a new era of good
will among men and nations, find yoi,
hnppy In the consciousness of havina
contributed actively In bringing Its
dawn.
This message is sput In behalf of
all the mothers and fathers and all
of Ihe pHople of your home county by
the organisation which they created to
be your servant and the servant of
your country and thelra.

ORIGIN OF THANKSGIVINGDAY
The firm ThanksglVln Day was obnrved by ihe 1'ilnrim Fathers
at Plymouth, Muse.. 1621. The wttlciH ana iheii Indian guet fram
ed on -wild turkeys und deer.
DuriiiK the revolution Thanksgiving was a national institution, an
nually recommended by Congress; but after the, general Thanksgiving
for peace in 1784, there was no national appointment until 1789, when
Washington, by request of Congress, recommended a day of thankH
Kivinr for the adoption of the constitution.
WashinKton issued a second proclamation of thanksgiving in 1?9't
on account of the suppression of insurrection. There was thanksgiv
ing for peace in 1815, until which time Thanksgiving had been mainly
a New Kngiand custom.
During the Civil War, 1863-64, Lincoln Issued proclamations
recommending annual Thanksgivings, 4ince then a proclamation has
been Issued annually. i,

FLU BAN WILL
BE RAISED ON
SUNDAKASES
GROWINGLESS
The flu ban will be lifted in Pen-
Idleton Sunday, December 1, insofar
as the holding of public meetings of
jail kinds are concerned, and the
jschools will reopen the day following,
Monday. The Btrict quarantine against
jail Influenza cases will, however, be
;contlnued as in the past week,
j- This action was decided upon by
i unanimous vote of the council at the
(meeting last evening, after hearing
the report Qf C. O. Breach, quarantine
''er' and th recomrnenda'i'n of
Dr. J. H. Ka.anaugh, city physician.
I In his report, Mr. Breach stated he
703.20 J'had interviewed every physician in j
lOO.OOjthe city and they were all agreed that
2,891.75 ithe Bltuaion was so favorable that re
25.654.00 .opening of public buildings and
4,000.45 ;schools could be permitted. The re
900.00'port stated 18 homes in all had been
1.1 50.00 'quarantined, from which 10 had been
400.00 released. leaving six still quarantined.
2,150-OOjln the Emergency hospital the report
stated there ivere seven flu cases five
;of which are ready to dismiss. No i
'new cases were reported during the I
day.
Dr. . Kavanaugh recommended
the
lifting of the ban against public !
meetings, saving that the quarantine
during the past' week had proven ef-
fective as he had thought it would.
and it seemed possible to control the
contagion now so that meetings could
be resumed. At the same time he
stated a strict quarantine on homes
where the disease develops will be
continued.
With the resuming of public meet
ngs Sunday the Mayor also announc-
led the suppression of the sneeze and

AT
PEACE CONFERENCE
WASHINGTON'. D. C, Nov. 28.
George Creel, chairman of the com
mittee on public information, made a
statement today denying that press
censorship would be in effect while
! . ,
.line peace conierence was in progress.
He said: '
"It is requested and hoped that eor -
! rection be made of the very untrue re-
port that an attempt would be made -
to interfere in any manner with the;
free flow of news from America in I
Kurope or from Europe o America-
Xo Press Censorship Now.
t he whole effort of the govern
ment from Ihe firfct has been to as
sure adequate and authoritative rep-.,
resenution of the press at the peace
conference and to assist news distri
bution in every possible way, .
, - . "

' "The widely circulated rumor thai
leorge Creel, chairman of the com
mittee on public information. will
have control of official publicity in
connection with the peace conference
absolutely without foundation.
There will be no such control and
the situation itself precludes any such
control. The peace conference itself
will undoubtedly decide upon the
manner of announcing its delibpration-
