GOVERNOR TOM McCALL'S 1968 THANKSGIVING DAY MESSAGE
It has Jmou traditional 8t this time of the year to look
wiih bwp upon the plight of the pilgrims when they eke.l
out a nth-Century toe hold on the North American continent.
Their foot was proditflous. And we have derived much from
the example of their eournye and their fortitude. They gamb
lod much, endured much and won much.
Today, our plight Is more complex. We are now a huge
nation, spread across a continent and out upon a sea. We
have Involvements throughout the world. We have an army
in the field thousands of miles from homeland. Wo
have men and hardware in space. We do not know each
other personally. We receive most of our attitudes and opin
ions via the Instant Bulletin influence of mass and Immed
iate media. This is not now a nation that can ring A festive
bell and call to table a band of controlling frontiersmen to
pray, feast, and confabulate.
We are spread thicker and wider now. If we are to sur
vive, we must now take the most daring step of all. We must
lenrn again to trust each other.
So, on the occasion of this national holiday, I feel we
should approach this time of mutual meditation with the re
freshing and frank statement that right now is America's
time of greatest challenge.
We are approaching our most cataclysmic national cli
max. We have been dared to greatness. We are engaged on
every front. We are under intense pressure to seek immortal
frontiers in a time of world clamor. No nation has ever been
asked to be so much or to do so much. This is our date with
Destiny. Here in this place ... at this time . . and by
these hands.
We can truly give thanks for such an era of excitement.
We can give thank, that our Is not an age of boredom. We
can give thank, for attaining the highest challenge in his
tory. And In such remarkable noun. these, it I. not hard
to find me very solid centers for whlh to give thank).:
We can be grateful for the time to ponder such a fate:
the right to protlaim our cause; the freedom to quest ion our
motive.: the Intellect to understand our opH.rtunltles; the
patience to live with our weaknesses; the courage to face our
mission; the memory to draw upon our heritage; the ho to
reform our Injustices; the creativity to live with tomorrow;
the agility to enjoy the search; the versatility to live with
change; and the Judgment to assess our progress amidst the
clatter of art ion.
What we have built Is only as good as tomorrow may
honor. What Is here now Is what we must deal with. And
because America Is or all of us, it Is lor all of us, and can
then only continue to be if it I. by all of us.
NOW, THERKFORE. I, TOM MeCALL, Governor of Ore
eon, do hereby proclaim Thursday, November 28, Nineteen
Hundred and Sixty-Eight, a day of Thanksgiving throughout
Oregon.
Let us express our gratitude to Providence for manifold
blessings as we ask for guidance In the destiny of these days.
Let us be humbly thankful for inherited Ideals. Let us re
solve to share those blessings and those Ideals with our fel
low human beings throughout the world.
