THANKSGIVING DAY
The custom, of annval holiday for national thanksgiv.
ing is exclusively Americar. It is a distillation from both the
pride and humility of a people made up of all bloods and races
and religions in a country that has never claimed anything
by “divine right” in the building of the world’s greatest civlization on a continent wide wilderness.
The first official thanksgiving, that of the Pilgrims for .
deliverance from starvation and massacre was in English. .
The settlers of New Amsterdam held a public thanksgiving
23 years later, for similar deliverance—in Dutch. There are
nine recorded instances of pre-Revolutionary colonies declaring Thanksgiving holidays. Artd on eight occasions the Continental Congress set aside days of Thanksgiving for the victories gained by Washington's ragged troops when hope in
that cause of freedom was dim. The thanks expressed both
the resolution of freemen and faith in the rightness of their!
destiny.
This year Americans give thanks in a time of dearly won
peace. And no family need observe Thanksgiving Day of
1945 in a roofless, bomb shattered home, because in so maay
American homes the blue service stars have turned to gold.
It is with this in mind that writer Hgward Fast comments:
“We are no supermen. Whatever we have we have made
of sweat, blood and faith in man. We are not smug; we give
thanks humbly and sincerely. For we know our blessings are
ours only by a precarious right. A right to be paid for—and
the proof of that on this same autumn day is the ’ sunlight
‘which shines always on the graves of American in some corner
of this earth.—Contrbiuted.
LIFE’S “FRIGHTFUL QUEERNESS”
Over 30 years ago H. G. Wells, the brilliant English novelist, predicted explosives and weapons that could destroy all
life. Now that the atomic bomb is a reality, Mr. Wells predicts
the end of all life on this earth—and quite short!y. Science has:
given mankind the means of universal destructionhé reasons,
before the moral nature of the race has prepared it for responsible custodianship of such power. :
The end of everything we call life is close at hand and cannot be evaded, he declares. . People are discovering that a
frightful queerness has come into life.
Indeed there is cause for extreme anxiety. Yet predictions that the end of the world is at hand have been gloomily
voiced through the ages, and none has panned out—to date.
Nor is the feeling of frightful queerness new in human experience. Such feeling swept Europe depressing even so realistic
and synic a philosopher as Voltaire after the fearful earthquake of 1755 devastated Portugal. killing 50,000 in Lisbon
alone. It swept England in the-terrible years of 1665-66, when
the great plague was followed by the great conflagration of
London. Mass disillusionment and dread have been recorded
all too often in history's blacker pages. Yet bright pages have
always followed the black.
Pessimists it might be noted, usually grow more doleful
as they age. Mr. Wells has never been an optimist and he'll be
80 next birthday. Pex!:aps his unconditional surrender of hope
smacks of queerness to the young man and woman of this
uncertain era who are going ahead with their dreams and ambitions, their marriages and babies, as if the battered world
‘were tough enough to last a million years or more. All there
is .to do is believe—and bet—that they are somehow right.
A RAISE FROM UNCLE SAM?
The war period has given the American language new
eggnomic as well as militaty terms, ‘“Take home pay” has become as familiar as “‘snafu’’. Lik¢ many new terms, _takehome pay has a somewhat confuge interpretation in early usage—and perhaps has inflamed much of the mismunderstanding now flowering evilly in the national epidemic of strikes.
In warmly espousing the cause of millions now demanding higher wages to meet the cost of living, a leading California industrial financier, Earl Lee Kelly gives the term new significance. He holds that workers are mistakingly picking the
wrong adversary in striking against management. Their real
adversary, as he reasons it, is a government guilty of looting
their paychecks through excessive taxation.
He cited in a recent Los Angeles speech, a typical case of
wage earner grievance: A man who earned $40 a week (and
took it all home) in 1940, was raised to $45 base pay’ during
the war, and earned $58 with overtime. But he got almost none
of the overtime—for the withholding tax took $10 of it, leaving him $48 in “take home pay.’’ Now he still earns $45
weekly but receives only $37.80 after the tax collector takes
$7.20. Thus in millions of cases taxes have deprived workers
of all the raises they have obtained—and more.
Non war federal spending has soared since the war to a
new all time high rate of 15 billion dollars a year, Kelly revealed as a preface to his declaration that “‘it is time both labor
and mangement stopped fighting each other and joined forces
‘to stop the plundering of their uaychecks and-earnings by ex:
travagant office holders.”
Since it is a good guess that this hard headed businessmen
may be a candidate for governor next year his suggestion that
Uncle Sam give all workers a_ substantial automatic raise
through conscientious tax pruning is the more interesting.
And it clarifies the triple connection between wage paid by the
boss, wage tax—and the remaining “‘real’’ or take home pay.

FARM NEW
Farmer committeemen all over
the United States will soon _ start
work on a community conservation

Sleeman chairman of the
which can be kept current by deducting accomplishments and adding additional needs that become apparent. Local analyses will be compiled
into ‘ounty, state and national surveys as outline for the most direct
attack on soil and water problems
within legal limitations and available funds. Practices eligible under.
the conservative program must

conservation and better farm use of

Sleeman stated the nation that destroys its soil destroys: itself. Soil is
the source of food clothing and the
other basic necessities of life. He
said that in recent years this county
has made a good start toward soil
and water conservation but even
greater effort is needed. No other
nation in history has gone ahead so
rapidly and recklessly in using its
natural resources, not been so guil}ty in permitting soil destruction at
