MAIL TRIBUNE A Day for While Americans nowadays mostly observe Thanksgiving merely by partaking of more food than is good for them, giving little thought to the' origin of the day, the people of Massachusetts are attempt ing to bring back some of the significance which attached to the occasion over 300 years ago. In Plymouth, America's home town, the 333rd anniver sary of Thanksgiving Day will be celebrated in tra ditional fashion. : Simultaneously, Old Stourbridge Village, in mid-state, will also: celebrate the day-with a Thanksgiving as it was lived by the Pilgrims: CPECIAL church services will inaugurate the Plym outh observance with the people congregating at the First Church "in the morning. Later all-historical points of interest in the town will be open to visitors and the townspeople will don Pilgrim costume." In the afternoon, the Pilgrim Progress procession al will be enacted when 52 descendants of the origi nal band of settlers, which landed at Plymouth Rock on the Mayflower, will march to the accompaniment of old hymns and colonial drumbeat. ' . Those who visit the historical homes-during the day will have opportunity to see the daily life as it was lived during early Plymouth plantation days as Plymouth women, in traditional garb, spin yarn, as the ancestors did, weave : cloth' and display the old cooking utensils. . . As in Plymouth, the program in Old Sturbridge will lay special stress on thanksgiving services at the meetinghouse. A LL in the nation have r this year of peace and plenty and it-is too bad that more Americans cannot revive some of the spirit of that early day when Governor William Bradford was moved to set aside the first Thanksgiving Day for a show of gratitude. E.C.F. . Our Favorite Weekly Some verv interesting Dublications come to the Mail Tribune's exchange ners from throuffhout the more imnortant news of its - X . weekly papers from the smaller communities with a more intimate and ioiKsy approacn. une oi our iavor: ites in the latter field is the little mimeographed sheet nublished each Saturdav bv Editor A. Geraldine Auel and her assistant, Monica and Mrs. William Auel, Z1&5 Kobertsjroaa, Meaiora. The Auel sisters, Gerry is 10 years old and Monica 12. attend the "Lone Pine school and of course school work and activities keep them pretty busy so the tasks , i e il . l of writing, printing ana mostly have to be done on 7DITOR Gerrv leads off with the following Thanksgiving editorial: ; GIVING THANKS Everybody knows that Thanksgiving is just arpund the corner. ; Remember ; also that Thanksgiving isn't called so ; because most of us have turkey for dinner. Remember as you reach for another piece of turkey that there are many people that" don't have 'much for Thanksgiving dinner, people in our own country even. . ,' : ..;; . After the. editorial ' are a few.- paragraphs cap tibned "Neighborly News" by none of .the tenets of more mature newspapermg, also interject 'editorial comment in these, a practice which, if not journalistically kosher,: at least adds pi quancy. For instance: - - :;i :. w;- y f- Linda Norris, who had her tonsils out last Tuesday, is - doing fine. The next morning after she had her tonsils out": - she was eating dry toast and soft cooked eggs. Think 'you could do that good? ., " . .. :- . ' . : 'X.

Each day, after the Senate, in its special session on the Mc Carthy censure, convenes, and the roll is called, someone, us ually Sen. Saltonstall, announc es that "the .Senator from Ore gon (is) necessarily absent" The Senator from Oregon is Mr. Cordon.- His. necessary absence, at latest report ' was to . go goose hunting. :v , ' .' . Sen. Cordonis the only Re publican who has not answered quorum calls in the present ses sion. Of the three Democrats ab sent, one is hospitalized, anoth er is in South America as a dele gate to an international econom ics conferehce. The third, Robert S. Kerr, is Resting." .The people of Oklahoma can do .what they wish about Sen. Kerr, .but we think Sen. Cordon owes it : to. his constituents to take part in the historic proceed ings -now going on. When the Watkins committee - announced its findings in the McCarthy case Sen.. Cordon' stood mute, ex plaining he - wished to study the matter and hear arguments pro and con. But he can hardly hear Wednesday, November 24, 1954 Thanksgiving much to be thankful for in desk. Besides the daily pa- state, each setting forth the Darticular area, there are M., the daughters of Mr. delivering ineir newspaper bamraays. her November 13 issue and' the Auel girls, bound are ambitious. They admit bigger, better newspaper them while he is goose hunting (although we admit the honking geese might be preferable to some of the noise now being heard in the Senate). : Perhaps Sen Cordon figures that because he is a "lame duck" that he need not be concerned with the issue. But Oregon -.deserves representation. , O. t h jr "lame ducks" have accepted the responsibility of serving until the end of their terms. ;And the people of Oregon have a right to, know whether he favors or is op posed to the censure. They might in that way determine whether the Oregon Republican Party which supported him' deserves support of the people at future elections. ILE.B. Coos Bay Times. :v- t " . - .

McCANN United Press Foreign Analyst Jacob A. Malik, who has been named Soviet' chief delegate to the. .United Nations, has drawn a tough as signment Malik will speak for the Kremlin in the General Assembly, the political com mittee and the Security Coun cil, in place of Andrei Y. Vi- Shins ky. Charles Mctuw ' "'"He is a vet- erari . diplomat like Vishinsky, and "he has served as chief dele gate before. The trouble is that he is no Vishinsky. - Vishinsky's death was a se vere blow to the Soviet govern ment. He had done a better job for his country in the U.N. than any other man the Kremlin ever had sent, there. He was generally liked even by the delegates who opposed most bitterly (the policy of his government Malik's appointment may be only temporary. The Kremlin is likely to do somehard thinking before it names A.him. or any other man its chief U.N. deler gate at this time.. . But with the General Assem bly in the last weeks of its an nual meeting, with President Eisenhower's "atoms for peace' plan under consideration, Malik is the man in charge right now. No Red Carpets He will get no ired Carpet wel come from his fellow delegates, Malik can be affable. But where Vishinsky made friends in the U.N., Malik has made many enemies. Where Vishinsky used a rapier in debate,' Malik is bludgeon artist ' ' ". Vishinsky v not 'only made friends in the U.N. He had more success than any other. Soviet delegate : in influencing dele gates of what might he called "fringe'.', countries, allied neither with the East nor with the West. He was a good salesman for the Kremlin's current "peaceful co existence" propaganda, Advices from London say that Letters to the Editor must bear the name and address of the writer although under certain circum stance the use of a pen name or initial for publication is - permis ribie.

We would like to express our appreciation to the Medford Mail Tribune and especially to Eric AUen, city edi tor, lor .tne very fine editorial and news stories regarding the observance of the National Men tally Retarded Children's Week. : .The compassion and' under standing shown by your paper we Know is an encouragement and help to many families and teachers in our midst who are concerned with the problems tf the. mentally retarded child. Be cause of your help, we are sure many people how understand the neqd for continued education and wic , cjkjaiiaAuu . ui. ' special pro grams for these children. ' About a year ago, the Jackson County Public Health associa tion, realizing the need for un derstanding in this field and the help which might be given to . both parents and children, sponsored study groups for par ents of;. children afflicted by mental retardation. The success of this program has been be yond our expectations. Thank you for your part in this. - JACKSON COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH ASSOCIATION (Your Christmas seal ' organization) Sti VI Malik has softened up somewhat since he was named ambassador there after Josef Stalin's death. But unless he has undergone a miraculous change, he is likely to, make more enemies in the U.N. -Younger Generation '. Malik is of a younger genera tion of Communists than Vishin sky. He was born in 1906 and thus was in his boyhood at the time of the Bolshevik revolution of 1317. Like Vishinsky, he .is not a power ,in . the Communist party but is a career man in the government, below the policy making level. : - Malik entered the Soviet for eign ministry in 1937, after his graduation from the Institute of Diplomatic and Consular Offic ials.' Within three years he was made counselor of embassy in Tokyo, and in 1942 he was nam ed embassador to Japan. . After presenting Russia's declaration of war to the Japanese govern ment in - the closing days ; of Wprld War. It,' Malik became deputy ' foreign minister and later chief U.N. delegate. He was sent to London when Vishinsky, demoted from for eign minister in the' big shake- up after Stalin died, Was made head man in the- Soviet ' U.N. delegation.. Now Malik is back, in Vishinsky's seat But -again, he is no Vishinsky. . 4 'Color of Thought' Cited by Minister In Talk at Rotary A plea for people to "change the color of their thinking" at this Thanksgiving ' season was voiced by the Rev. George R Bolster, rector if 'St Mark's Episcopal church, in an address Tuesday before the Medford Ro tary club; V-f . i Speaking at -a luncheon meet ing at the . Jackson hotel, ; Mr. Bolster pointed out how colors affect human emotions. The trend toward soft pastel shades jn public buildings, and especial ly in modern nospitais, is be coming general because the pleasing colors relieve tension, lessen fear, and promote confi dence and comfort, he said. "Think in White ' To those who "think in white,' however, 'a new and finer mean ing is given to Thanksgiving, Mr. Bolster stated. Many people are prone to think in black, or the debit side, with resulting de pressing effect. Others think red and are constantly at war, with themselves and everyone. This "chip-on-the-shoulder" view is more dramatically illustrated by the thinking of leaders of Red Russia, although, 'he, said some who are closer to home assume the same attitude.. Those .who "think , in yellow" have a cow ardly approach to life's prob lems, Mr. Bolster, declared. .Thanksgiving. is a time when people should indulge in posi tive and worth-while "white thinking," and' count their assets and their blessings, the speaker concluded. , " - -V- .

I know What you're thinking. But the next one may be worse. ;: 1XENRY CABOT Lodge, Amer "icanr ambassador to -the UN, says in an interview with David Lawrence's U.S. News and World Report that it would be unwise and dangerous for our country to leave UN. As to Russia, Lodge says that in view of the Soviet record in the UN it was a mistake to admit her to membership in the world organization in the first place. But . He adds "There are certain advantages in having the Russians in the UN;?. (Among." other things) it gives them a chance to make an exhibition of themselves, and that's a chance of which they take very frequent advantage."

ADDRESSING his own Indian parliament in New. Delhi, he says: ' - ' "A big-scale war appeared close on two .occasions this year in -March and in September. Fortunately these crises passed without disaster." -He adds: ' "In this connection, I would like to pay a tribute to the part played by the President of the United States in the avoidance of war. . TIE WAS probably referring V-Hto the fact that In March we didn't start shooting in Indo china and in September we took a moderate view of the shooting down by Russian jets of an American nevy patrol plane oyer the Sea of Japan.) ; VTEHRU IS a silk-stocking do- gooder, but he is a POWER in Asia.

It will benefit 17 cities in Califor nia, Oregon and Washington, in cluding Klamath Falls and Med ford in Southern. Oregon. The second experiment is the use of buses outfitted and equip ped so tnat mail can be sorted en route and4 delivered to post offices along the way. Initial runs are . scheduled; presently from Seattle to Portland, includ ing intermediate - Washington cities. - - I TWE RAILROADS; naturally . enough, don't like either ex periment and court, action has been started in Washington, D.C., by five railroads to stop the air mail experiment. The rail roads contend that air transport oi regular first class mail is il legal and beyond the authority of the postmaster general. I have immense respect for the railroads, without whose services interior cities . simply couldn't exist in' competition with the great seaport cities. ; But they mustn't be allowed to stand in the way of progress. If the newspapers had said years ago they would have nothing to do with the new-fangled devices such as the telegraph and later wirephoto there would be no newspapers now. The modern world must keep up with the progress and SPEEDING THE MAIL is an important part of progress. SOUTHERN OREGO N could use faster mail delivery. It now takes longer to get a letter from Klamath Falls to Roseburg and vice-versa than to get a letter to London or Paris. Some kinds of coal are 300,- 000,000 years old.

FIRST FEDERAL SAVINGS & LOAN ASS'N ' of Medford : 27 North Holly - An iesHtwtiee Dedicated Te These Whe Save Is That So? Mail Call: "What is the har vest moon?" asks A.S.M. , . R.E.G. writes: "What is the highest ocean wave ever accur ately measured?" . "Do frogs really have ears?" writes Miss Lydia R. "Can you give me the recipe" for "boned turkey?' " writes Mrs. R.P. BONED TURKEY: Take a Belgian hare, stew slowly . . sea son, and you have "boned tur key." (Though, of course, -you can "get boned turkey by simply taking the bones out of a tur key.) Besides Belgian hare, mapy another dish has been dressed up with a name to represent some thing it isn't Welsh ' Rabbit,, commonly' called "Rarebit" is melted cheese and butter served on toast. Eggs' on anchovy toast is sometimes called Scotch Wood cock. And, in some parts of Eng land in the . last" century, Irish potatoes were referred to as Munster plums; Red herring as Norfolk capons. Today, chicken legs, almost anyweher may ac tually be pieces of skewered veal. Know of any others? . OCEAN WAVES: Ocean waves -are deceptive ana ami cult to measure accurately. But of this you may be sure, people generally have a pretty exagger ated idea of the size of the .waves that break over their vessels in storms. Frankly, most of those towering "mountain high" waves are only 30 to 40 feet high nd, I'm nol minimizing as waves go, those are big ones. An un usual one, perhaps, niay attain 60-70-feet from trough to crest Up to 1922, the biggest "meas ured' wave on record was 80 feet, reported by the British SS Majestic. Subsequently, in-1933, the USS Ramajo in the North Pacific reported waves of 110- 112 feet (and I've been in that ocean and can testify that it gets powerfully rough, distressingly, so!) By the way, a rule of thumb measurement is this: from the bottom of the trough in one wave to the bottom of the trough of the next, is roughly 15 times the height of the wave. Thus a 1 gj" 50-foot wave would have a 7.50 HARVEST MOON: That name was popularly given to the full moon which comes about harvest time toward the middle of Oc tober. Astronomers, less senti mental than most folk, put the harvest moon near the autumnal equinox, Sept. 23. ; The full harvest moon's path narticularlv if you live toward the north passes quite closely above and below .the horizon, causing it to rise nearly at sun set for several nights running. Besides, the earth's atmosphere tends to 'magnify its size and give it an orange cast . The harvest moon, so it is said, prolongs the natural twilight and permits farmers to , complete their harvesting before frost sets in. " ' . K; The full moon following the harvest moon is often called the hunter's moon. ' 'i.'J'f-, V ; ." FROG EARS: Yes, frogs have ears.
