THE NEW BERN MIRROR, NEW BERN, N. C.
Friday, November 28, 1958
TOT
^ALK
No other show on television to
day has caught the fancy of New
Beni's small fry like the tremen
dously popular “Mickey Mouse
Club ’ Beamed from Greenville, it
has a high percentage of the kids
in town glued to their sets each
afternoon.
Unlike a lot of programs de-
.sigiK'\i for the enjoyment of
smaller children, this one attracts
teen agers too. In fact, one of
■ftlickey's biggest rooters here is a
grea: grandmother. There is ob-
r ious’y appeal for every age in the
antic,' of Mickey and his friends.
Runner-up in popularity, as far
as New Bern moppets are con
cerned, is that grand old standby,
“Captain Kangaroo.” With all due
respects to the Captain, we suspect
that this might develop into a
rather dull show, if Mr. Green
Jeans failed to put in an appear
ance.
Although hardly in the same
clas.s with the two front runners, a
.sample survey here indicates that
the "Pop-Eye” show has caught on
l'airl\ well. Trailing rather badly
is "Rorriper Room.” It hasn’t been
the same since Mi.ss Lucia departed,
and no one was quicker, to recog
nize this fact than the tots who
worshipped her.
Putting together a kid program
that will click is just as difficult
and perplexing as coming up with
a top flight production for adult
audiences. Talent is a must, but
FOR GOOD FOOD
& REFRESHMENT,
It's
The Wiggly Pig
even talent— coupled with expen
sive props— doesn’t always pay
off.
One thing you may be sure of.
New Bern kids aren’t devoting all
of their television viewing to
westerns and crime. Most of them,
our survey reveals, prefer Mickey
Mouse to Mickey Spilane’s sordid
creations. In other words, Walt
Disney is doing better with a mouse
than Spilane has done with rats
spawned by gangland. If you’re a
parent, this may be a comfort to
you.

England observance, the town
didn’t observe the holiday until the
idea moved to the South and later
to the West.
As a matter of fact, there was no
specific day observed in all sections
of the United States .until 1864,
when President Lincoln “appointed
and set aside” the last Thursday
in November as a day of national
thanksgiving.
Earlier, in the course of the Re
volutionary War, the Continental
Congress designated Dec. 18, 1777,
to be observed as a “thanksgiving
day.” However, it was conceived
not as a harvest festival but to cel
ebrate the surrender of Burgoyne.
When George Washington be
came President, he recommended
that Nov. 26, 1789, be kept as a day
of “national thanksgiving” for the
establishment of our form of gov
ernment.
After Lincoln’s Thanksgiving
proclamation, designating the last
Thursday in November, the day
was generally observed until 1939,
That year. President Franklin D.
Roosevelt, in order to lengthen the
interval between Thanksgiving and
Christmas, named the next to the
last Thursday in November.
The new day failed to get un
animous acceptance, so in Decem
ber 1941 Congress passed a resolu
tion making the fourth Thursday
in November a legal holiday.
There is little likelihood that the
date will ever be changed again.
Whatever the date, New Bernians
and all thinking Americans feel
better in their hearts because their
native land does officially recog
nize the blessings that come from
God.
Yes, it was a quiet Thanksgiving
Day— this one we had in 1958. But
in its quietness you could sense
the feelings of Protestant, Catholic
and Jew. We had much to be grate
ful for, we knew it, and citizens in
the First State Capital breathed a
little prayer of thankfulness.
