P. Dodd) While we, in America, will celebrate Thanksgiv ing in the usual way with festivities and gratitude for the many blessings we still have in this land of the free, we are also thankful for the success of our armed forces abroad. We cannot help, and this is not said lightly, that we praise the Lord and pass the ammunition. When our battleships sink enemy craft and cause the lives of thousands of our enemies, we are thankful be cause we believe in our cause and that we are doing such things for the sake of humanity. When we in vade Africa and make human sacrifices, and when the Russian armies beat back their invaders at great loss of life, our spirits become joyous at the prospects of an earlier end to the struggle. When our flying heroes bomb great cities to destruction we welcome the news with grateful hearts, and praise God that the end of carnage may be in sight, and the world may be returned to the peace we all love so well. It is sad to relate such things, but we must all con fess that the deepest feeling in our hearts today is thankfulness that we are winning the battle for hu man freedom. While the means must be by the sword against the forces that would destroy all our kind of civilization holds dear, we are doing it in the spirit of the old hymn, “Onward Christian Soldiers” and the “Battle Hymn of the Republic”. „ We hope that we will never have to meet such forces of evil again, and never in such a way, and we hope that another Thanksgiving day will find our hearts full of the peaceful joys this America was born for, and which we hope will endure forever. It is not like us to engage in wars with all their sadness, terrors, vices and destruction, but it is like us to de fend to the uttermost our rights to enjoy peace and the rights and privileges God has given to humanity. For this we are truly thankful. ECHO NEWS ITEMS By Mrs. W. H.

Pendleton — Phone 518 JOHN Some of the attractive colorful rooms in modern homes are made with wall board of pressed sugar cane. Time was when no one knew what to do with sugar cane bagasse after the sugar was extracted. Tons were either destroyed or burned as fuel in the sugar mills. Then in dustrial chemists found a way to press the cane refuse into long fibers, to felt and weave it into long board sheets. Chemists have also found that a cheap molding compound can be made from bagasse. By grinding the cane to a powder, combining it with chemicals, the substance can be molded into flat panels or floor tiles. Backers believe that this low cost molding compound will enable the plastics industry to branch out into broader fields such as the man, ufacture of furniture, building mate- rials and parts for automobiles since it can be made for less than half the cost of the cheapest synthetic compound known. fbenfi". tre “ gol $ e" bon Nut | Í | Farm Notes The U. ture has diversion of Irish dextrine.
