Thanksgiving
olid ays Set
For Nov. 21
With the announcement that the
Thanksgiving recess begins at
1:00 pan. on Wednesday, Nov. 21,
it has come to mind just when is
Thanksgiving? Some people say it
falls on the fourth Thursday of
the month and others say the
third. -
Well, this fact has been cleared
ud bv Governor Scott's office. It
was announced by Ben Roney,
administrative assistant to the
Governor, that the date isn't as
flexible as it used to be. Federal
law now specifies when Thanks
giving will be. The law passed by
Congress in 1941 fixes the fourth
Thursday in the month as the cor
rect date. This year the fourth
Thursday is- the 22nd. '
It used to be that the country
observed the last Thursday in
November as Thanksgiving Day.
They killed their turkeys then,
and served them together with
slices of fat ham.
Then along ' came . Franklin D.
Roosevelt in 1939 with the idea
that sometimes the last Thursday
came powerful late in the month.
He fixed the earlier date for
Thanksgiving. Some states went
along, others didn't, so the country
had two Thanksgivings.
In case you didn't know, the
holiday for students ends at 8:00
a.m. on Monday the 26th.

The people of North Carolina
have right to be bewildered. la
the November 6, issue, on the
front page of the Raleigh New
and Observer, was the headline
describing the new Camp Butner
Mental Hospital: "Hospital with
a fresh look.' "
Yesterday saw shades of 18th
century torture chambers, cruel,
thin-lipped whip bearers, and an-
cient snake pits. From the hos
pital with the 'fresh look came
the report of a terrible malicious
beating borne by a former grad
uate student here at the Univer
sity. Duncan Brackin, who is out oi
school temporar illy as a result ot
the running out of his GX Bill
-told of how "a Butner supervisor
"attempted to beat me in the
face."
The head nurse at the' hospital
said that Brackin was discharged
without reason. A hearing for the
incident will begin "action . im
mediately, said the manager of
the Camp Butner Mental Hos
pital. . About 7:00 p.m. Saturday, the
nervous uracKin maoe tne 101-.
lowing, statements: ; ..
"Third night On duty, super
visor of attendants threw a. pa
tient on the floor and began beat
ing him in the head while an
other beat him in the side, despite
the fact that the regulations spe
cifically prohibit such treatment
at any time. "When I tried to re
strain the supervisor, he turned
on me and for ten iriinutes, at
tempted to beat me in the face
with his fist. Later, he threw me
against the wall and tried once
again to strike me in the face
several times, but I was able to
hold his arm,
"A patient, now recovering and
on probation status; testified to
all these facts for- the chaplain of
the hospital wp.o in turn relayed
the story to the head doctor. He,
related also that the same super
visor had beaten .others .".VI was
immediately discharged with no
reason being given, although the
supervisor who made the attack
is still employed. I ha ve made an
appeal to the manager upon his
instruction to do so."'
The date for the hearing has
not been set as yet.
