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 needs survey, according to L. E. 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 maintain or increase soil fertility; control .and prevent soil erosion caused by wind or water encourage conservation and better farm use of water or conserve and increase range and pasture forage. 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 Nevada } County Agricultural Association.
