Deaih Brings Union
It is doubtful if the people of the United States have
ever been any more unified, in times of peace, than they
have been since the death of President John Kennedy
Friday. 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.

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
