MINISTER ECPPNER-IXXINCTON CHRISTIAN CHURCHES The season of Thanksgiving Is upon us. Families will gather around the table with a turkey and all of the trim mings. Perhaps they will offer a prayer of thanks for the food that Is spread before them and for the many blessings which God has so richly bestowed upon them. Many of our people will not give a great deal of thought to the real meaning of Thanksgiving. We In America aeera to take things for granted. Most of us would have to strain our memories to remember Just when Thanksgiving first be gan or why. We know it had something to do with the Pil grims and some Indian friends but beyond that we will not give it a great deal of thought If we would search deeper In to the origin of Thanksgiving, we would find that it was in the fall of 1621 that Governor William Bradford of the Plym outh Colony appointed a day for feasting and thanksgiving. We observe the fourth or last Thursday of November as our day of Thanksgiving by proclamation of the President This takes care of the when but not the why. Although It Is a legal holiday, it Is also and primarily a religious day. The early Pilgrims came to this land In search of religious free dom, where they would have the right to worship God ac cording to the dictates of their hearts. It was for this reason as well as the physical blessings that they paused to give thanks. Each one would list the things that he was most thankful for In a different way. We are thankful for health, for strength for our families and loved ones. We are thankful for free dom of speech and government We have the right to express our dissent and dissatisfaction over government We have the right to vote for or against a man running for public office. There are no armed guards at our doors or on every street corner as In some countries. Matthew Henry, the famous scholar, was once attacked by thieves and robbed of his purse. He wrote these words in his diary: "Let me be thankful first, because I was never robbed before; second, because although I was robbed of my purse they did not take my life; third, because although they took my alL it was not much; and fourth, because it was I who was robbed, not I who robbed." Perhaps we feel that we have not been blessed enough to give thanks to God. When I feel this way, I am reminded of the man who wrote, "I felt sorry for myself because I had no shoes until I met a man who had no feet" Primarily, then, this should be a time of gratitude, a giv ing of Thanks. We In America have so much to be grateful and thankful for that we could not possibly list them all. The one ultimate thing which we as Christians should be thank ful for is Jesus Christ our Savior. Without Christ to give mean ing and purpose to life It would not be worth living. The Apostle Paul expressed this in I Corinthians 15:57 when he said, "But THANKS be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ" Let us all pray the prayer that George Herbert wrote in 1633, Thou hast given so much to us, Dear Lord, give one thing more ... a grateful heart" TO THE EDITOR... November 19, 1965 To the editor Dear Wes. Recently your paper told of an incident involving school omc ials and the fair board, in which the school was unable to unlock the gates of the athletic field to admit an emergency vehicle which was badly needed during a eame. In fairness to my colleagues of the fair board there are some facts which people should know about the situation. First, by the terms of the written agreement between the school and the fair Doara me school is responsible for lock ing or unlocking the gates for athletic events. Second, the several keys to the separate lock (one which the school chose to use in addit ion to the fair lock) were all in the hands of school officials Third, not one of the fair board was informed of the situ ation until we read it in the DaDer.' In realitv. we are iust fine ordinary Deoole who are inter ested in a better fair and rodeo and satisfactory interim use of the facilities out there. As in dividuals and parents we are also very much concerned with the welfare of the school. All of us are glad to talk fair, rodeo or about the use of the grounds at any time. A phone tall to any member (to Bernard Doherty, Paul Jlisler, Zearl Gil lespie, Floyd Jones, our secre tary Lenna Smith, or to me) could have averted that inci " dent. So please, everyone, let's keep the communication lines open. Sincerely, , Jane Rawlins Yes, the Gazete-TImes can print the form you need for busi ness or ranch use. Phone 676- 922a To the Editor Dear Sirs: I am having trouble getting my paper every week. I think it is at tnis end as we are on a route with a sub-station at Multnomah. Sometimes they will bring It several days later. They seem to think a paper like that isn't important, but it is to us as we both lived there for many years. We enjoy it very much. Hope it can be straightened out so we can get it every week. Thank you Mrs. Roy Hams 5428 S. W. Garden Home Rd.

He won it Monday ai the meellnj! of the Heppner Morrow County Chamber of Commerce. Several wrrkt g AI Lamb anked us to write a paper on Oregon's Industries, resources, economy and development for some purpos. and In so doing, it was surprising to find how little the editor really knew about the home state. So. as program chairman for the C of C this year, we con ceived the Idea of preparing a quiz for the fellow members and did so. President Randall Peter son agreed to furnish trophy for the winner. We wrote out 50 multiple choice questions, but after try ing It out on the co-publisher, took her advice and cut It to 40 questions on the State of Oregon and Morrow county. Mr. Ma loom missed 14 of the 40. but that was the best score of the some 30 present, and so he got the trophy. DO YOU THINK you know a lot about your state and county? O. K then we'll Just print the same 40 questions below and you can try it vourseii. ee u you can beat Barney's score. Just check one answer of the three In each question, and no fair using reference books or consulting others. There are no trick questions.
