Harriet V. Turner By the President of the United States of America A PROCLAMATION On October 3, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln invited his fellow citizens to ‘‘set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next as a day of Thanksgiving .. .This was the year of the battle of Gettysburg and of other major battles between Americans on American soil. To many, this call for a national day of Thanksgiving must have seemed strange, coming as it did at a time of war and bitterness, Yet Lincoln knew that the act of thanksgiving should not be limited to times of peace and serenity. He knew that it is precisely at those times of hardship when men most need to recognize that the Source of all good constantly bestows His blessings on mankind. Today, despite our material wealth and well-being, Americans face complex problems unknown before in our nation’s history. In giving thanks today, we express gratitude for past bounty and we also confidently face the challenges confronting our own nation and the world because we know we can rely on a strength greater than ourselves. This year, let us especially seek to rekindle in our respective hearts and minds the spirit of our first settlers who valued freedom above all else, and who found much for which to be thankful when material comforts were meager. We are, indeed,, a most fortunate people. NOW, THEREFORE, 1, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, in consonance with Section 6103 of Title 5 of the United States Code designating the fourth Thursday of November in each year as Thanksgiving Day, do hereby proclaim Thursday, November 27, 1969, as a day of national thanksgiving. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, 1 have hereunto set my hand this twelfth day of November, In the year of our Lord nineteen hundred sixty-nine, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-fourth. --------- RICHARD NIXON Second Ward Plans Bazaar And Dinner PERSONALS Mr.and Mrs. Richard Swea- The Nyssa 2nd Ward Relief ney, Mrs. Pat Sweaney and Society Bazaar is planned for Bill of Caldwell, were Sunday Friday, December 5 at the Nys dinner guests of Mrs. Tom sa Stake House.

Clean Ovens Prevents Fire ± BOYSCOUT ACTIVITIES Looking forward to that tra ditional Thanksgiving dinner? The fire chief probably has the same idea, reminds the In surance Information Institute. To give him something to be thankful for, and at the same time make sure that you have a happy Thanksgiving, be sure your oven is clean and free of grease before you start cook ing the turkey. A greasy oven is a fire haz ard that could result not only in a very crisp bird, but a serious fire in your home as well. What should you do if you have an oven fire? The I. I. I. suggests turning off the heat and leaving the oven door closed until the fire is out. If necessary, call the fire department. A new Cub Scout Pack was formed Nov. 19, with nine boys joining.

ChtBibU How lovely is they dwelling place.—(Psalms 84:1). Our immediate environ ment is an extension of our selves. We help create it. If there is inharmony in the home, office or plant, we should do something about it. We have the ability to bring about har mony, if we work at it. If there is discord we can be peace makers. We can rebuild the trust; and work to come into agreement with others.
