Progress of Pilgrims
- To Feast Day Traced
Top off your Thanksgiving dinner
with Husons' Nesselrode Pudding Ice
Cream.
By Bruce A. Itosencrans
Now there walked In the land of
the righteous, which was England, in
those days, a people anown as Purl
tans. And they were pure. And they
went out of one place even Into an
other, until they were called Pil
grims. And the progress of the Pil
grims progressed, until their feet were
sore fixed with corns. And their pro
gress was known as Pilgrim's Pro
gress with Bunyan.
And it came to pass they became as
popular with tho High Mogul of that
state as RepuDltcans at one presiden
tial election. And Jonathan Bull aat
teth himself down upon the Pil
grims, smote them with sundry
chunks of law and a few yards of
shsrp words.
So it came to pass, when the Pil
grims didst see how it was. they aldst
start a pilgrimage to those piaces
wherein they might worship In a
more extemporaneous and unham
pered manner. And they gat them
selves one are of early vintage and
set sail upon the face of the deep
for the land of the free of the home
of Indian braves. And they didst call
the ark "Mayflower" because it blos
somed forth early in the spring with
many blooming leaks.
And there were an hundred and
even more aboard, and they hadst
not room for chests of drawers and
grandfather clocks, so didst hang
them on spars 'and masts. And be
cause of tempestuous seas, those
clocks, didst not choose to run, even
unto this day.
Now in due time they reached har
bor, didst drop anchor, the gang
plank and those who hadst died the
night before, and made way to a rock
of creat size. Awl they fell down and
rose up. gave tnanks and sang "Rock
of Ages" and "Yankee Doodle." Then
those who wert In the ark, gat them
selves down upon the rock. And their
beasts, tractors, motorcars, and their
cows and swine and old nens ana
little chickens came also. And those
fnM re called Plymouth Rocks
ahh unto this day.
Now it came to pass that winter
was amongst them. And It was com.
at times thev beheld strange people,
who didst havo red skins after the
munner of those tribes. And the red
skins wotted not why the Pilgrims
were where they were, and they didst
shower them with spears and arrows
on tho south side of Pilgrims nieing
homeward. And things were excessive
ly .xasDeratlne. for tney perceiveu
those tribes weiv not rltualistlcally
endowed, and didst spend much time
plucking arrows from out their rid
ing habts. 1
Now dried apples and cod fish be-
.amth low ebb. aa did money mav
tcrs also. And they ate the fowl of
tho air, tho fish of the sea, and tho
deer, turkey and cranberry and apple
sauce, that wert shot by. their mwlity
hunters. And it befell others to dig
.lams to sustain life until corn plant
ing time, that they might raise corn
enough to strengthen them to pull
out the -clams In tho winter which
followed, to got them through 'till
the next corn crop should give them
strength to dig clama again. Yea.
matters were slack. For they didst
subsist the first winter on clams and
armed prayer, whilst they did erect
log houses with broad aa In one hand
and stter-guii, cuss words and their
Uvea In the other.
But It remained not long aa it was
before. Nay, for as the colony Increas
ed In size, eastern capital, sun and
gentle rains caineth unto them, which
all maketh for bounteous crops and
abundant happiness. Now the red
skins hadst beaten their tomahawks
Into plowshares and no longer fit
them. Cameth autumn and in their
lap satteth goodness and mercy and
unbounded happiness.
And Smiles Standlsb. spake unto
the Pilgrims In this wise, saying:
"The great white Father hath been
benevolent and uath bestowed great
agricultural gifts upon us. Now we
will show our appreciation by throw
ing a party, a feast of thanksgiving.
Verily the pumpkins are ripe and
frost art upon thy pump handle.
Thou and thy wives, maidservants.
Indians and thy kids must come,
dressed in thy best, and leave thy
deer knives, scalping tools and shot
guns parked outside." And he caused
to be placed In the Plymouth Trib
une, an Invitation. And he Invited
the redskins also, and asked that
they bury their tomahawks which
those people hath. Yea, he asked
them one and all to gather together
on the day appointed to break bread,
to eat and talk turkey.
And it came to pass, the final
Thursday of the eleventh moon was
decreed the day. by Oovernor Brad
ford, and so on even to the days of
our kind. And from out the land and
forests cameth the multitude, and
didst gather around the board. And
they were exceedingly full of Joc
undity; yea they were exterlally dec
orated In Puritanical best and didst
become interlorally upholstered with
turkey, clams, roast dog and pumpkin
pie. And they voted to make it one
annual classic. And It was so.
Then when roast-master of the
foa.it hadst partaken of the cup,
which was called Thomas and Jere
miah, even unto the days of Vol
stead, he arose and made speech unto
them saying: "Indians snd thy
squaws and sll that art gathered here.
we have come to give thanks unto the
Oreat White Father for this bounti
ful harvest, and henceforth, when
this day fallcth It shall be known as
Thanksgiving Day, even unto the
children of thy children who follow
thee. And ye shall gather together
n the homes of ty loved ones, and thy
mothers-in-law and cafes and soup
lnes throughout tho land, and thou
shall stuff thyself, until thou art
full of prunes, yea, until thou buat
eth with reverberating bust, the but
tons from off thy colonial pants."
And thus endeth the first Thanks
giving Day.

the fact that a number of local busi

butions before the campaign opened,
those In charge stated today. nil is
the first time that such voluntary
offerings have been received.
Mrs. Sparrow explained that pro
ceeds from the county this year will

Insufficient accommodations.
