Thanksgiving Around The World
It is customary at this time of the year to give ex
pressions of gratitude in song and prayer, and speech
and festivity, to the Divinity that shapes our ends,
and this year in particular, to the Lord of Hosts who
guides our ways. 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.

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
