U.00 Reasons For Thanksgiving Today, Thursday, Nov. 26, is Thanksgiving Day, a time for recounting our blessings and expressing our gratitude for the goodness of God. One may be forgiven If at times It' seems that the troubles of this world are sufficient to dampen expressions of gratitude and the recounting of our blessings. Our boys are dying on a foreign battle field in an unpopular war; our country is torn by strife and our values are threatened. Here In our own county our schools are disrupted and brother is being set against brother in civil strife that has our town in a state of emergency and guarded by highway patrolmen. It Is indeed a bleak picture. But one should remember that out of the thunder the still, small voice of God is heard; and one must have faith that behind the dark clouds the sun still shines and will reappear in a freshly washed and beautiful earth. One must view every problem as a challenge to be solved for the making of a better world. We can all be thankful that history shows that in spite of catastrophic events man continues to evolve and that the thin veneer of civilization that covers the savage is slowly thickening and that man's continued fight for justice for all men goes on. We can be thankful amid the threat ■= of destruction of our earth bypollu^M^mrynr are bebjming lncreas1 —' f| ingly aware of the problem, which Is the first necessary step towards Its solution. We should remember among the relatively small group of militants that resort to violence and amid the rebellious youth who cause despair, that there are millions of decent young people filled with a love of their country and an honest desire to lessen the injustices of this world. And even here in Warren County when there are those who would disrupt our schools and damage their own town, that there are thousands of those who appreciate order and who feel that the strife is unnecessary and who love their children with a love that knows no race. We always have within our midst those who are confused and who are quick to take the sword in spite of the Biblical admonition that this leads to destruction. But we can be thankful for the thousands that suffer no such confusion. It would be well, we think, If we • were to spend more time in considering what is right with the world and less with its wrongs except as those wrongs are to be corrected. "If we could see amid the evil all the golden grains of good, we would love each other better If we only understood." And finally, we should know that present evils will pass. Peace will come again. And in this knowledge we should all be thankful. ' jj.; ?" * 9*1? 'A'O' New Constitution? Christian Science Monitor Americans are not going to write themselves a new constitution, no matter bow much the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions agitates. To give the California-based center its due, it is arranging presentations in various cities at a new constitution written by none other than Rexford G. Tugwell, onetime Roosevelt braintruster. And It hardly expects that the nation will be provoked to convene a constitutional convention forthwith. The idea, surely, is to stimulate discussion and dialogue on where and whether the 1787 Constitution falls short. People are always tinkering with constitutions and bylaws. I Is an American habit. Dr. Tugwell, now a fellow at the center, has spent five years drawing up his new charter. He has always favored strong central government—not dictatorship but wide-ranging social experimentation. So, In his proposed constitution, he would abolish the checks and balances between the branches, which he says hobble effective action. lie would also virtually eliminate the states as anachronistic, creating Instead SO republics or regional governments for adThe Tugwellian constitution has fancier changes. The president would serve nine years, unless rejected by a plebiscite at the end of three years. Sanatora would serve lor life, with Senate membership drawn mainly from former presidents , vice-presidents, and high officials. (A House of Lords?) One hundred members of the House at Representatives would be elected at large, the other 300 as usual. And so on. Our reaction to all of this parallels that of Ramsey Clark, former attorney gmeral Champlain Monster (National Observer) Lake (TmnpUIn Is a largs spread at blue water separating Vermoat from Mew York Jttst south at the Canadian bordsr.

He said what was needed was not new words bat mw commitments: "the (allure has been us, not the Constitution. It's a failure to be committed." Dr. Tugwell would argue that the Constitution has been amended and Interpreted far out of Its original shape. This Is of course one of Its advantages; it can be amended to meet changing circumstances. Some critics would say the "Warren Court" Interpretations had virtually rewritten main portions. Perhaps the "Nixon-Burger court" will revise again. The Constitution with its BUI of Bights, is deeply reverenced by the American people. Nobody is about to trade in this formidable document for a new model. Stockpiles Of Doom New York Post Nuclear stockpiles possessed by the United States and Russia are sufficient to blast each person in the world with the equivalent of 16 tons at TNT, according to a global military survey published (recently). ||| recommendations listed by the Stockholm International Peace Research kistituta, compilers of this survey, are eimeeHmin for a freeze on nuclear weapons development, the only alternative being the kind of freezing horror the institute's estimate of destructive capacity arouses.

Robert Davis laughed and kept repeating, "So ha doesn't care anymore tor your father than be does that stove," In the way that a boy la his early teens does In "ragging" a friend. The story of the Incident that lad to my friend's laughter has been told before In this column but I think, in view of the circumstances in our schools, that it may ha worth retailing. After all theae years lean not be certain what the occasion was that brought forth my unjust punishment, my rebellion and my humiliation, but I am Inclined to think that they stemmed from a group of students turning over an outhouse at the Warrenton graded school when I was somewhere in my middle teens. Mr. Futrell was the principal. Of that I am certain. I am equally certain that I had absolutely nothing to do with the turning over of the outhouse. But Mr. Futrell thought otherwise, in spite at my denials, and sentenced me with a number of other boys to stay In after school and subtract one from a thousand on the blackboard until we reached zero. I told him that I had nothing to do with the incident and would not subtract the figures. He insisted. My father was at that time superintendent of schools and whether I was conscious of this and tried to exert pressure or whether It was a boy's reaction, as when Harwell Burwell was going to tell Williams when things went wrong at school, I do not know to this day. But I do know that I told Mr. Futrell that I was going to tell my father. Anu Mr. r ucreii replied, "I don't care any more about your father than I do that stove," to the glee of the listening Robert Davis and my other friends. I knew that I was innocent and I felt that it was unjust to be punished for something that I had not done, and I did nov care for Mr. Futrell's Justified remarks about my father. So I went home and when my father came to dinner Itoldhim what had happened, not neglecting the principal's uncomplimentary remarks about him, and also told my father that I was not going back to school. I am certain that my father knew that I was telling the truth .tor I was reared to hate a liar, but ha did not flare up. He calmly listened to my story and then said that I would have to go back to school. After dinner he walked with me back to school and engaged in a short' conversation with Mr. Futrell and went back to work. That afternoon I stayed in after school and subtracted the figures. I think that I was fortunate in that more punishment was not added, and I soon lived down my loss of face, and I have never forgotten. And now I think how fortunate I was in the calibre of my parents. I think what a tragedy it could have been had my father had less of a sense of values; had be been hot tempered, unduly sensitive and allowed me to throw away an education to show his own authority. That was one of the many lessons I learned in school that was not found in the textbooks. Not only did U teach me respect for authority but it helped prepare me tor the injustices of life where one is often punished tor things one had not done and where one often sees earned rewards not bestowed. 1 was only a tew years later that both Robert and I Wbre in the SATC at Chapel Hill during World War I, where we soon found that the best place to find justice was in the dictionary. Here It was that I lost a tooth, because my commanding officer, hardly more than a boy himself, would not permit me to go to see a dentist. Here in a little more than ten weeks I was placed on KP eight Sundays, when in Justice I should ham only had to serve once. 1 served my first term with B company and wastranaterredto A company. When I told my officer that 1 had served with B Company the week before, he •aid, "Soldier, you are oat of lock." Another Sunday one of my roommates failed to wipe out a howl tor inspection nod the three of us were sentenced to KP, and in the five other times that I served on KP in every can it wan one of which i was not goaty Lite can he strange.

Perry said Dr. Teele will be responsible for one of FAMU's fastest growing programs.. Graduate Instruction first began at FAMU during the of my KP duty I looked up and Mr. FutreU was holding his plate for a serving of grits. I was tempted to give him only half a serving, but he received a full portion. And now after 50 years I look back upon that Incident In school with gratitude for the wisdom of my father and In the knowledge that everyone Is not so fortunate. I can understand the rebellion of youth af what Ihev consider Injustices, real or fancied. But It is still hard for me to understand how parents are willing to see their children throw away an education because a school Is not being run according to their Ideas of how a school should be run. What these parents are teaching their children Is In my view tragic. TEELE summer session of IMS with an enrollment of 34 students.
