In this year, perhaps more than any other, when the heart of humanity has been tried, and yet when abundance of sustenance and power, and success in a noble cause have been mingled, have we more to think about and more to open our hearts in Thanksgiving. It has been many a year since the Pilgrim fathers first observed this day with praise and festivities, and grateful hearts for freedom. How close is com parison with today. They too, had suffered for the same cause, and they too, were determined on that which was nearest to men’s soul—freedom of relig ion, of speech, of individual opportunity and control of their own welfare. The wild turkey was plentiful in the forest and be came a symbol of plenty. We too, have the domestic bird and it too has been used as a symbol of gratitude to our boys on all our fronts. Memories of home go with the feast in fox holes, coral isles and muddy trenches. It is the same old story told in a different time, but simple, humble and glorified. Our boys are fighting for that same freedom established at Plymouth Rock, and we are expressing our gratitude in the same old way. Changed as the world may be since the first Thanksgiving day, the heart of Ameri ca is the same. The difference is that the spark of freedom at Plymouth Rock kindled a blaze three hundred years ago, that has gone around the world. It has spread to the peoples of every land—small or great. The natives of the South Seas, the blighted soul of Mos- lenism, and the awakening peoples of Confucianism, and even perhaps the incrusted minds of the “Super- man” may catch a fagot from the flames of freedom around the world today. For this may our sacrifices be justified, and our praise and gratitude to the God above be acceptable in His sight as expression of our renewed effort for the liberty of mankind.

NEWS Safety In The Home So much time and effort is spent to arouse interest and stimulate safety consciousness on the job that we may be inclined to be lax as far as the home front is concerned. Yet if any one place needs the concentrated thought and effort of every American towards accident prevention it is that of the home. Most of us give very little thought to the high toll of ac cidents occuring every year. We are so careless and reckless in our habits and manner of daily liv ing that we manage to kill 30,000 of our people in home accidents each year. On the average one person is killed and 154 injured in the home every 18 minutes. Most home accidents could be pre vented if the same precautionary mea sures are taken in the home as are taken in a well organized industrial plant. More than half of these home fatal ities are due to falls—such as topp ling from stepladders and improvised supports for reaching high places; slipping on loose rugs; slipping in soapy bathtubs; stepping on toys, marbles, and other loose material on stairways. Stairways should have hand rails and gates and should be kept clear of litter, Persons ascend- ing storways should always have one hand on the rail, Children’s toys should never be left on the sidewalk Care should be taken to keep side walks free of snow and ice. Burns, which result in more than 5,000 deaths, take their greatest toll in children four years of age or under and are caused by playing around the stove and pulling over pots of boiling water or other fluids and are scalded. Children playing near unprotected stoves suffer burns as oftentimes their clothing is ignited. They get in flammable material such as gasoline and kerosene on their clothes with tragic results- There is no fixed preventative for all types of accidents that occur in the homes, but a realization by all of us of constant dangers and the devel opment of a family spirit of greater precaution. Family conversation at intervals regarding dangers will help to impress our precautionary spirit. The family whose members are taught to put things in their proper places: to avoid the careless deposit of litter, oily rags, paper, rusty cans, and rusty nails: to keep toy wagons and tricycles, roller skates from ly- R8"8Mses El*U indeed.
