Nov. 22 And certainly they have never had so many'details of events before and after his death as they have on this occasion. Newspapers, magazines, television and radio have put in days telling oi the event and expressing the feel ings and thoughts of people in the cities, country and villages. All. regardless of political party or religion, have come together in common grief over the loss of our national leader. We could disagree with his political philosophy and still admire and like him as a man One reads that he was a wonderful husband and family man. We believe the biggest loss is to those of his immediate family who miss him most and will miss him longest. Blame should not be centered upon the people of Dallas for what transpired. It could have, and does, hap pen every day throughout the nation — the difference is that it has not happened to one of our presidents in the lifetime of most of us. But they. too. are mortal and we believe that President Kennedy would be one of the first to acknowledge that anyone who had beer, as con troversial as he. during his presidency, was in continual □anger, from madmen. Nor do we share the feeling of some few that our country will "go to pot.” Our new president is skilled in the operations of our national government. He has attended most of the important meetings over which President Kennedy presided and is familiar with con ditions over much of the globe. He may not do all the things we d like to have done, or undo some of the things we’d like to have undone, but he is capable of being a forceful leader. It behooves all of us to stay united as a nation in the davs to come as we are united in our grief over the de ceased young president. DW YOU KNOW? Overdue Homage IT'S YOUR LAW Since Thanksgiving Day this year marks the 100th year that it has been observed as a national holiday, it is fitting that special homage should be paid to the woman whose relentless crusade established it as an official and uniform day of celebration. For 17 years. Sarah Hale, editor of "Godey’s Lady’s Book.” campaigned to unify the states in common ob servance of a day of thanks. Despite national contempt in the 19th century for feminine meddling in public af fairs. not once did the tiny, but fiery and courageous woman abandon her crusade. From 1546 to 1863 she pleaded with three presidents (Fillmore. Pierce and Buchanan) and wrote countless editorials in her magazine, fighting for her cause By 1S49 several states were celebrating Thanksgiving separately; no two states observed the holiday or. the same day Three years later, in 1852. Mrs Hale had succeeded m having 29 states join m observing Thanks giving on the last Thursday in November as a unified day of thanks. In 1S63 her appeal to a great American crowned her crusade in victory. Through a proclamation by President Abraham Lincoln, the last Thursday in November was established as a day of national thanksgiving Annual Bazaar—Ham Dinner AT NYSSA LDS STAKE HOUSE Christmas Cakes — Bazaar Items Satin Quilt to Be Given Away Tickets — Adults, SI — Children Under 10, 50c Nyssa First Ward Relief Society a DON'T WAIT UNTIL WINTER VISIT IN MONMOUTH — for a — MOTOR TUNE-UP!
