Tho Meaning of

IT AL BOSCBEE. 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
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

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

BARNEY MALTOM Is the new
lvcrovnsl "Know your Home
Stat and County- champion.
and he has a trophy cup to
prove It. 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.
