To Ask For Up and Down The Avenue By Don Moffatt Thanksgiving is one of those times when almost all people have something for which they should be thankful. In these times of stress and demonstra tions, and strife in our country, we should take a little time out to count our many bless ings. I often wonder just how we’d react if we were subject ed to the trials and tribula tions of the Pilgrims when they celebrated their first Thanksgiving in this country. Surely we would not be able to cope with those conditions. No modern conveniences in those days—and I presume a much meager harvest than we have in the present times. I presume the small band of Pilgrims who had landed on the rough New England shores gave thanks for the mere fact of being alive. When families and friends gather together on this Thanks giving they certainly should pause to recall the purpose of that first day of thanks, parti cipated in by a handful of Pil grims centuries ago. That pur pose is an expression of simple appreciation for the fact of survival—of being alive. In our nation today we have attained heights beyond anything those early pioneers could have dreamed. In at taining those heights, our country stands in danger of losing its sense of values. No- vember 25— Thanksgiving — is ' an appropriate day to pledge ourselves to our God and our j Country.
