President's Message THANKSGIVING DAY, 1947 THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA issued a Thanksgiving Proclamation this year, which I consider so beautiful and appropriate, that I repeat it here word for word: Older than our nation itself is the hallowed custom of rest ing from our labors fori one day at harvest time and of dedi cating that day to expressions of gratitude to Almighty God for the many blessings which He has heaped upon us. Now, as the cycle of the year nears completion, it is fitting that we should lift up our hearts again in special prayers. May our thanksgiving this year be tempered by humility, by sympathy for those who lack abundance, and by compassion for those in want. As we express appreciation in prayer for our munificent gifts, may we remember that it is more blessed to give than to receive; and may we manifest our remembrance of that precept by generously sharing our bounty with needy people of other nations. NOW, THEREFORE, I, HARRY S. TRUMAN, President of the United States of America, invite the attention of all citi zens to the joint resolution of Congress approved December 26, 1941, which designates the fourth Thursday in November of each year as Thanksgiving day; I proclaim Thursday, Novem ber 27, 1947, as a day of national thanksgiving; and I call upon the people of the United States of every faith to conse crate that day to thoughts of gratitude, acts of devotion, and a firm resolve to assist in the efforts being made by religious groups and other bodies to aid the undernourished, the sick, the aged, and all sufferers in war-devastated lands. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the United States of America to be affixed. DONE at the City of Washington this tenth day of November in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and (SEAL) forty-seven, and of the Independence of the United States the one hundred and seventy- second. HARRY S. TRUMAN. Thanksgiving is an old American tradition. The first TTianksgiving Day came in 1621. I quote to you a short history of this glorious day, which appeared in a maga zine called, “Character and Citizenship”, written by the Reverend Wm. T. Blair: THANKSGIVING The first Thanksgiving Day came in 1621 in the midst of in tense trial and deprivation. Yet a handful of people took their eyes off of their troubles and raised them in humble thanks to God for the things which they did have which made their struggle worth while. They arose stronger and freer than they had ever been before . . . ready to carry on, come what may, for they had found that their blessings which they had been overlooking and taking for granted far outweighed their trou bles. Perhaps we, sometimes, take too much for granted and fail to stop to think of the comfort and security we enjoy. Let all of us, on this Thanksgiving, give thought to the benefits that have been ours during the last year. On September 5th, we here at Etusta celebrated our Harvest Festival, at which many of you exhibited the result of your labor in the form of fruits, vegetables and flowers. It is a great comfort to know at times, when in other parts of the world foodstuffs are scarce, where children, women and old folks are suffering from want of things to eat, we here are blessed with ample supplies to keep our families well provided, so that we may share them with underprivileged people in this world. You read in the newspapers of the great need for food stuffs which exists in European countries, and in China, and the great sacrifices which our country, with your help, will make to provide for unfortunate people in this universe. It, therefore, behooves all of us on November 27th, -ttTiot To Pfige Four NEW AUTO UW IS EFFECTIVE JAN. 1 Requires All Autos To Be Inspected; Safety Lanes To Be Set Up The 1947 General Assembly of North Carolina passed a compul sory motor vehicle mechanical in spection law which will become ef fective January 1, 1948. This law requires that every motor car owner in the state have his car inspected in 1948 on one of the forty “safety lanes” which will be established all over the state. The purpose of the inspections will be to discover anything wrong with a vehicle that might lead to an accident. For information of Echo read ers, following is the procedure that will be used in the safety lanes which will be set up all over the state after the first of the year: As your car or truck enters the safety lane, which is approximate ly 160 feet long, an inspector will be at the entrance to check your operator’s or chauffeur’s license and vehicle registration card. It is necessary to show these creden tials before an inspection can be made.

B. Harrill of Western North Carolina Teachers college remarked last Monday at the meet ing of the Resource-Use Educa tion committee. During the course of his discus sion, Dean Harrill commented on his recent visit to the plant, say ing that Ecusta was one of the nicest appearing plants he had ev er seen and particularly was he impressed with the high type of employees making up the person nel of the plant. Two representatives from our companies attended the meeting along with County Superintendent of Schools J. B. Jones, Principal R. T. Kimzey of Brevard high school, and Dean Porter of Bre vard college. The meeting was at tended by 60 outstanding civic, educational, and business leaders of the mountain section.
