THANKSGIVING SEASON Babson Gives Ten Reasons For Which To Be Thankful By Roger W. Babson Babson Park, Mass., Nov. 17. ? On our coming Thanksgiving Day we nave much for which to bs thankful. I should like to comment specifi cally upon ten reasons: 1. First and foremost, we can celebrate this year j^tor t h_? same reason that occasioned the first Thanksgiv ing of the Pil grim Colony in * BABSON 1623, namely, A PINE HARVEST ' Crop yields this year sutpass all previous reords. There is plenty |, of wheat, cofn and other farra _ products for us to feed ourselves " and the needy everywhere. 2. Without HEALTH AND STRENGTH none of us can worn or - think efflcientlx.- Combined with the right spiritual outlook health is the greatest of all bless ings. The past year has seen an improvement in both on the part of the American people. 3. Although the Thanksgiving season finds us in the midst of our greatest War, we should be thankful for the progress wtych , has been made toward a success- j ful peace. We are justified in , believing the European., War will be over in a few months and the hope that total peace may come before another Thanksgiving Day. 4. Whether Republicans or Demodrats, we should be thank ful that we live in a country where a free ELECTION can be held. Here is tangible evidence of the continued existence of our country as a true democracy. 5. We should be thankful for the MORAL AND PHYSICAL COURAGE that our men and wo- 1 men have shown both at home and at the front. Our fighting forces first believe that they are engaged in a great moral crusade; and. second, they have the couf" age to back up their beliefs. 6. Our people should be thank ful for FULL EMPLOYMENT AND FAIR WAGES. No one need be without a job today. As a re sult. old debts are being settled and, to the joy' of the retailer, large sales are being rung up on cash registers. 7. We who believe in free en terprise should be thankful that values have kept up so well. Our rulers at Washington are showing more justice and less prejudice. They are beginning to realize that people should be encouraged to save as well as to spend. 8. We should be thankful FOR OUR NEWSPAPERS and the evi dence their pages contain 'of our continued right of free speech; of the privilege that every American has to write his editor and, if worthy, get his letter .published. More than the peoples of any ofher nation, we are being kepc informed as to what is going on. 9. Our BUSINESS LEADERS are responsible for many of our blessings. They represent a part of our national life that has be come almost commonplace. Too often their work is taken fox granted. We should all be more grateful to them as well as to their wage workers. 10. Last, but by no means least, we should be thankful FOR OUR CHURCHES. There is to day, in accord with our more ser ious thinking, a deepening Of in terest in spiritual affairs. Church attendance is increasing and there is a greater desire for a larger participation in church work and personal meditation. It is heart ening to many of us "old timers" to see people again reaching for the more important things in life. Yes, we have much to be thank ful for this year!

And often times it is concerned with money. In the library world, we too have a special week to celebrate, but we use it to promote reading. BOOK WEEK is being observed the world over, and this year the dates are November 12-18. Book Week was originally pro posed t-in 1919 by Franklin K. Mathiews, librarian. Boy Scouts of America. Through the years it has grown and developed until it is now one of the high lights of the fall in educational institu tions. In each of the library centers in Franklin County: Louisburg, Frankllnton, and Youngsville, 25 30 new books were placed for circulation. All titlee are up-to date and Interesting volumes. Book Week posters with the slog an "UNITED THROUGH BOOKS" have been placed in many public places, and book marks are being distributed at all the library cen ters. Another new service has been begun in Franklinton and Louis burg. A group of 21 periodicals have been subscribed to by tho County Library, and these will be divided and placed in the named towns. You will be able to find such magazines as these Mademoi selle, House Beautiful, Redbook, Reader's Digest, Skyways, Boy's Life, and many others. Again, let's remind you that it Is BOOK WEEK, so do your duty and patronize your public library this week and every week there after. WORDS OF APPRECIATION On Sunday morning, ' October 29, 1944, Cedar ?Rock Baptist Church Building, with its. sacred memories that rooted back in the. lays of the 1870's, was reduced to ashes. All of us hated to see the old church building go, for every square inch of it carried memories of our early days when life was all. morning, sunshine and gladness; but we realize that all earthly things are transient. No moQient was sadder than when it dawned upon us that we had no l<ernianent place to meet and worship. The deacons met at once anJ Jecided to prepare for the erec tion of a new building, realizing fully that there are many handi :aps connected with the erection af a new building at this time. Our community feels that it can and must shoulder the finan cial burden without soliciting iunds from elsewhere, but there have come to us many requests from those whose early lives were looted in and around the 'old church building, that they have .lai't in contributing funds for the lew church, even though they live in other parts. There have come co us also from people and busi ness firms in other localities, who, as friends to us and to the con stituents making up our member ship, wish to contribute. To all such we wish to say that your contributions will be welcome, and we will appreciate and try to properly appropriate all such funds. May God bless your lives and the lives of your coming gen erations for the interest which you so substantially take in this project. We highly appreciate it and thank you. Sincerely, JOS. T.
