F0T7B MTOFOBD MAIL TRIBUNE Trlchr, Wot. 17, 1944. Thanksgiving Season Babton Giras Ten Reason for Which to Be Thankful Br Hojtr W. Babson (Special Correspondent) ' (Special Correspondence) On our coming Thanksgiving day . we nava mucn lor wnicn 10 oe thankful. I should like to com- : ment specifically upon ten , reasons: 1. First and foremost, we can celebrate this year for the same reason that occasioned the first Thanksgiving of the Pilgrim i colony in 1623, namely, A FINE : HARVEST. Crop yields this year surpass all previous rec- I ords. There is plenty of wheat, corn and other farm products for us to feed ourselves and the needy everywhere. '. 2. Without HEALTH AND i. STRENGTH none of us can work or think efficiently. Com bined with the right spiritual outlook, health Is the greatest of all blessings The past year has seen an Improvement in both on the part of the Amer- ' ican people. ,. 3. Although the Thanksgiving season finds us in the midst of our greatest war. we should be thankful for the progress which has been made toward a success ful peace. We are justified in ! believing the European war will : be over in a few months and the hone that total peace may come .before another Thanksgiving i "ay. i ' 4. Whether Republicans or i uemoerais, we should be thank ful that we live In a country ' where a free ELECTION can be i held. Here Is tangible evidence ,-of the continued existence of ' our country as a true democ ; racy. 8. We should be hankful for , ine mukal and PHYSICAL COURAGE that our men and I women have shown both at home and at the front. Our ; fighting forces first believe that . they are engaged in great moral crusade; and, second. they have the courage to back ;up their beliefs. . . Our peonle ahould be thankful for FULL EMPLOY MENT AND FAIR WAGES. No one need be without Job' to- : day. As a result, old debts are i, being settled and. to the Joy of the retailer, large sales are ; being rung up on cash re?sters. : 7. we who believe In free enerprise should be thankful i that values have keot up so i well. Our rulera at Washington are showing more Justice and less prejudice. They are begin- Milng to rpnlt iUt i .. . ...ov ircupiv should be encouraged to save ma won as (o spena. " ' n 0 " 1 d be hnkful FOR OUR NEWSPAPERS and the evidence their pages con i tain of our continued rkht of free.speech; of the privilege ! iiu w!ve7.. Amer,c,n h -write Ms i editor and. If worthy. t f ' letter published. More than the people of any other . nation, we an being kept in- i formed a to what Is poln on. 9. Our BUSINESS LEADERS ,are responsible for many of our b'esslngs. They represent a part of our national life that has be- ; come almost commonplace. Too often their work Is taken for granted. We should all be more grateful to them as well as to their wage workers. 10. Last, but by no means least, we should be thankful FOR OUR CHURCHES. There is today, in accord with our more serious thinking, a deep ening of Interest In spiritual of fairs. Church attendance is in creasing and there is a greater desire for a larger participa tion in church work and person al meditation. It is heartening to many of us "old timers" to see people, again reaching for the more important things in life. Yes, we have much to be thankful for this yearl FOR HOG PRICES Washington, Nov. 17 (U.R) The war food administration in a move designed to Increase marketings of hogs and thus improve pork supplies, today ex tended its price support program to good and choice butcher hpgs i weighing between 240 and 270' pounds. Under the revised program, the agency will assure produc ers $12.50 per 100 pounds for all hogs weighing between 200 and 270 pounds. Since October 1, WFA's pro gram has covered only hogs In the 200-240 pound bracket. Be fore that time the price support program was pegged at $13.75 for hogs weighing between 200 and 270 pounds. WAGE HIKE OKEH Washington, Nov. 1701,15 The War Labor Board ruled to day that employers may in crease wage rates up to a min imum of SO cents an hour with out obtaining board approval. Previously, employers c o uld raire wages only up to 40 cents without the board's permission.

Props MUSIC GROUP 10 REACH NEW HIGH There Is every Indication of a record-breaking membership this year for the Jackson County Civic Music association, judging by memberships re ceived up to this noon, accord ing to Seth Bullis, president of the association. ' One of these Indications, Bullis states, is the large num ber of new members who have already subscribed.

The same rule always applies to civic music procedure; no sin gle admissions are sold to any concert nor is it possible to se cure memberships after 9 p. m. Saturday of this week. An unusually large number of ballots have been received. Indicating a wide interest in the type of concerts available, Each member is entitled to vote for a minimum of five tynes of artists or attractions and it is this sum mary by which the committee is guided in making the final se lection on Saturday night. Headquarters at the Chamber of Commerce will be open until 9 p. m. tonight, and from 9 a. m. until 9 p. m. tomorrow night. It Is not necesrary to wait for a personal Invitation to become a member, Bullis states. Any adult or student may secure member ship through payment of the adult membership fee of $6, In cluding tax and the student fee of $3, Including tax, at the Chamber of Commerce headquarters.
