THANKSGIVING
(Contributed by E. 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.

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.
