On The Side
By E. V DURUNG
(DistrtDured by King f-eatures
Syndicate, Inc.)
Paris As we leave, my girl
friend completes her part of the
packing. She gets "everything in !
tne bags. Then my part begins.
I count the bags and put the
tags eh them. 1 also have to
check on the bags at regular irf
tervala en route. If a bag is
missing I am to blame'. This is
a great responsibility. Especial
ly on the trip on the boat train.
When I get our bags safely into
a ship cahin 1 always go to the
bar and drink a, toast to my
self. What a relief:
Guidts
There are innumerable guide
books to Paris. You can get along
nicely with two of the pocket
type. The street guide. "Paris
Par Arrondisement " and Hanoi's
'"Guide t Paris." Some of the
guides although dated as 1956
editions are in reality much out
of date. You will find in these
guides glowing stalemonts as to
the food and service available
at the Cafe Dc Paris and La Rue.
The Cafe De Paris is closed. La
Rue no lonirer exisls. Its place
on the Madeleine lias been taken
by a lunch room called "Qucrn
ics." There are many similar er
roneous and misleading state
ments in thc.se allegedly up to
date guide books.
Praii
In one book intended to be of
aid to a stranger in Paris I
noted the' statement that "A
Frenchman doesn't care what
you think of him." That is far
alt the beam. The average
Frenchman is extremely inter
ested in his work. He wants to
be the best of whatever he is.
If you praise his efforts he is
extremely appreciative. Also a
Parisian cares very much what
you think about- Paris.- Praise
the efforts of a Frenchman and
Paris and "your difficulties in
France as a traveler will be
greatly decreased. It. can also
save you money.
Subway
The Pas is : subway has a first
and second class. Though the
price of the first class subway
ticket is only slightly higher,
the averase Frenchman refuses
to go for it. So you can nearly
always get a seat in the first
class section. This is always lo
cated in the middle of the car.
During rush hours the Paris un
derground is just as busy ss the
New York subway. There is a
train every two minutes.
Asidai ,
The most popular drink among
the patrons of. the' Ritz bar is
a mixture called . "Champagne
Pick-Me-Up." This" is made of
orange juice, Cointreau, brandy
and champagne . : . The six day
bicycle race- is -still annnuai
feature of the Pari" sport sea
son. It !s held in March at he
Palais de Sport which has a
rapacity of 18,000.
Racing Form
The name tf the French rac
ing form ts the," "Paris Turf." It
does not even come close to of
fering the aid to the horseplay
er that our racing form does.
The handicappers in Paris are
no barniun either. About the
only way a stranger in town can
break even at the races is to
wiger on the horsci owned by
the Aga Khan and Aly Khan
on a progressive system. How
ever, why worry about breaking
even when you can limit your
hets to 100 francs which is about
the aKiuivilent of 28 cents?
Sidalighti
My new lightweight type
writer, which weiahs eight and
one half pounds, including case,
has worked wouderfully well
on this trip. A remarkable ma
chine . . . Paris taxi drivers
working for a company get no
salary. Their income is entirely
from tips . . . There is a monu
ment to Guy,De Maupassant in
the Pare Monceau. There should
be one to O. Henry in Union
Square park in New York City.
How about starting a campaign
for Mine?
This morning there was a long
time at the pari-mutuel booth
at the Bistro on the corner. Many
Parisians, of both 'sexes, were
waiting to place bets on the
jumping races at Auteuil. A
Parisian will bet on anything.
He always has a wager riding
im suineiiiing. un me norse
races, dot races, in the national
lottery or on the football pools.
His life is eternally filled with
the hepe that for a little money
he is going to win a lot.

Common Day of Thanksgiving Will Be
Observed Mainly Through Woman's Effort
Concord, N. H. (U.R) Ameri-
cans in the 48 states will join
in a common day of thanksgiv
ing next Thursday, chiefly be
cause one of the most remark
able women of the 19th century
waged an unceasing campaign
for national recognition of the
ancient .Pilgrim custom.
Sarah Josepha Buell Hale,
born in Newport, N. H. in 1788.
badgered presidents, governors
and other influential men for
25 years until finally Abraham
Lincoln, in 1863. proclaimed
Thanksgiving as a national holi
day. Known best as the author of
the nursery rhyme. "Mary Had
a Little Lamb," she was the
champion of many worthy
causes, but took up the idea of a
national thanksgiving as a per
sonal crusade.
It had of course been cele
brated by many communities
since the Pilgrims in 1621 set
aside a day to give thanks for
their harvest. But even after
George Washington issued the
first national Thanksgiving Day
proclamation in 1789, most states
and communities went back to
observing their own various
dates.
Steady Pressure
In her novels and in the edi
torial ' pages of-trermagazine,
"Godcy's Lady's Book." Mrs.
Hale inserted propaganda for a
day of national observance. Each
year the magazine would list the
states which had accepted the
date of the last Thursday in No
vember" and each year it would
scold those not falling into line.
In addition, this brilliant and
influential woman, who had been
left a widow with five children
at 34. wrote thousands of letters
urging the re-establishment of
the custom proclaimed by Wash
ington. .She maintained that among
other benefits, a national
Thanksgiving would strengthen
the ties of union strained to the
breaking point by the tensions
of the pre-Civil War era.
At last her campaign bore
fruit.
Abraham Lincoln issued the
first national Thanksgiving proc
lamation since George Washing
ton, saying:
".. .- . It has seemed to me fit
and proper that they (the 'gifts
of God) should be solemnly, rev
erently and gratefully acknowl
edged as with one heart and one
voice by the whole American
people."
Great Career
The custom has been kept ever
since: It was a major achieve
ment in the career of a woman
whose life was a series of splend
ed efforts and accomplishments.
Mrs. Hale raised the money that
finished Bunker Hill Monument,
she was the first to advocate
women as teachers in public
schools, ' she founded the first
society for the advancement of
women's wages and better work
ing conditions, and she started
the first day nursery.
The indomitable widow was
the first woman editor in this
country, organized the Seaman's
Aid Society and was instru
mental in preserving Washing
ton's Mount Vernon at a na
tional memorial.
Only less remarkable than her
accomplishments is the fact that
all her achievements took place
afier she was 40. She died in
1879 at 90, after having influ
enced the nation probably more
than any other single woman in
American history.
The United States produces
approximately 40 per cent of
the world's goods and services.
