Let’s Be Thankful ,, other factor, perhaps that prompted the Pilgrim fathers to inaugurate Thanksgiving was the gratitude they felt to Providence for having enabled them to overcome many difficulties and survive dire perils. This thought should be foremost in our meditations this lhanksgiving season, since we may be prone to wonder what, at this trying and ominous period when destiny seems to be watching the human drama, we have to be thankful for. This nation is today involved in a war of colossal and world-shaking proportions. Man’s humanity to man is being written in blood across battle-torn lands. Even in countries, such as ours, which have not felt the full war, there is anxiety and deep foreboding. About the outcome of the war, none has any doubt: it is the cost and duration that give us deep concern. It should sustain and encourage us at this critical mo- ment to consider the progress we have made in overcom- ing the menace that confronts us—the evil powers that would deny to us the things that free men are most thank ful for—including freedom of worship, of speech, and immunity from the fears that haunt other less fortunate peoples. In every quarter of the globe today the Axis powers are feeling the mounting fury of the Allied of- fSahfp” w®" they must perceive that their defeat is inevitable. We, like the Pilgrims, should feel grateful enabled to overcome our initial difficulties and obstacles, one of which was the lethargy of our people in the face of a mounting danger. At the same time our country has been spared the devastation of war—our cities have not been blasted by bombs, no fleeing refugees clog our highways, no Gestano sleuths shadow us. . That we deserve or hfve donrany” thing to merit this immunity when virtually all of man- being scourged, the innocent with the guilty, we believe no honest person will assert. Clearly, we as a people have been prodigally blessed by a loving Provi- fe^ent and sincere expression of gratitude and couple s&;‘,"• ■■■■ «■ The Poet’s Comer Beneath The Pisgah THANKSGIVING Dear God, we thank thee for these few things: The beauty of the blossom and the grass; For sun and gentle rain And deep rich soil; The gleam of heaven’s blue And after every night, a dawn. For home and shelter, food and fnends; And noble fashions to make peo ple glad And a good life of pleasurable days. To hear a mass with goodly cheer. Thou help us to do right. And, flying and singing every where, songbirds; Notes of love and hope and faith Let us go over these things We cherish but we thank thee more D^r Father, for the blessed hour When those whoVe been ‘ Through peril’s path by land and sea Will smile in glad security; For the blessing of our soldier’s heart and brain— One single gift to us: To vanquish these tyrants that O’er your empire tread— For vengeance and for liberty! —Leon Evans Mertins. NOVEMBER, 1943 Safety And First FROM PAGE ONE — ed, prepare safety articles for monthly edition of the Echo and discuss safety with all depart ment heads and employees at all times. Realizing that departments in the mill suffer just as much when a person is hurt off the job as they do when one is hurt in the plant, every effort is made to have a balanced safety program and to cover in the Echo articles, all phases of accident prevention work, including the home, high way and community. The sole purpose of the Safety Department is to assist in any way possible in eliminating per sonal injuries and the Safety Di rector is always open for sugges tions on how this can be done. He still contends that “When All Em ployees Make Up Their Minds To Stop Accidents — THEY WILL STOP!” mother FEELS A DRAFT What a nuisance, what a bore— Pajamas left upon the floor, A collar here, a necktie there, A slipper underneath a chair, Magazines, a pipe, a book, Clutter everywhere I look. Disorder is. your middle name. And Mother doubtless is to blame. However, son, the army’ll do A multitude of things for you. Gone the comforting morning doze Up the minute the bugle blows. Quarters orderly, bed just so,’ Everything in an even row. Boy, how wonderful when you come Straight from under the sergeant’s thumb! —Louise Shaw. Goolsby Catches -FROM PAGE ONE- John after having seen the great nerve he displayed in charging af- t^er the wild animal, Mr. Montieth held tight to the horns while sure- shot Goolsby shot between his fingers into the buck’s head. When the gun fired it was all over,” John declared. “The deer slumped and I slashed his throat.” Instead of going on to work, John and the cab driver, Frank Hopkins, with the aid of Mr. Montieth, took the buck to John’s home in Brevard and there dress ed or rather undressed the animal. “You bet we are going to en joy that venison, but just to tell you the truth, I was really scared to death. Why that thing could have slashed me and I’d never known what happened,” he con fessed upon reflection. “Nope, I’ve never killed a deer before and I’ll never forget killing this one either,” he said.
