We have been writing about
Thankaglving and the following are
a few of our stories:
The Pilgrima came across the At
lantic Ocean in a Mayflower. They
came to a America in 1620. Some
of the Indians were friendly but
some of them were not friendly.
I like to pray on Thanksgiving day.
? Brenda Coe.
I'm thankful our homes and food
I'm thankful for the flowers and
I'm thankful for the Biblea and
churchea. I'm thankful for God
and the people.? Judy Carroll.
A long time ago there was some
Pilgrims who did not like the
church that they went to. So they
got on ? ship. The ships name
was May Flower. That haa been
340 yeara ago. The Pilgrims met
some friendly Indians. So the In
dians and Pilgrim got together
and had a big dinner. That's why
we have Thanksgiving now.? Judy
Moretz.
The first Thanksgiving was 33#
years ago. I like Thanksgiving Day
very much. I'm thankful for my
parents, and my sister, for my
friends, too. I'm thankful for the
flowers that bloom, and for the
birds that sing. I'm thankful for
Washington Comments
Washington. D. C. ? Now tkM
the voting is over, and ihe great
American process of executive
election is finished, for feitr yean,
one cat look hack over the IWO
campaign and analyae certain
moves and controversies.
First, the television debate*
were novel and historically Kgnifi
cant. Most people say they will
not be held In 1984 ? becauae ihe
President would lot want to ,-isk
putting himself and his office on
a plane with a mere challenger
Many believe Vice President Nix
on took an unnecessary .ind very
costly risk when he agreed u> meet
Senator John Kennedy in a aeries
of debates.
Nixon improved after his first
debate defeat, in the eyes of a
majority, but he was already Vice
President, and better known, and
he publicized his opponent by jet
ting into face-to-face exchanges
with him. Kennedy was careful to
avoid losing his poise or restraint,
which wold have played into the
hands of those pushing the theme
that he was too inexperienced and
young to be entrusted with ihe
nation's top Job.
Jim Farley, who managed Pres
ident Franklin D. Roosevelt's first
two victorious presidential cam
paigns, was among the most 'sp
out forecasters on the day before
the recent election. Farley said on
a television program just before
the vote that Kennedy could win
434 electoral votes, in a rout of
Nixon. He gave Nixon 33, plus a
possible 21 more, or 104, at best.
Practically all the nationwide
polls showed Kennedy ahead but
all of them hedged. They added
that catch-all qualification: this is
the way it is now but a last-min
ute surge might change it. Or:
This is the way it is now but a
silent or religious influence might
change things. That gave the polls
an out. Few predicted a solid vic
tory, one way or the other.
The New York Times survey, the
day before the election, gave Ken
nedy 244 electoral votes, Nixon
109 and the rest undecided. U. S.
News k World Report, Newsweek
and Time all prod iced a Kennedy
victory.
The new Congress is going to be
aa balky as the traditional Demo
cratic mule. The conservatives
will have to fight to hold on to
ther power, but the chances are
the food we eat. Thanksgiving is
a special day. I can't wait until
that turkey is on the table ready
to eat. ? Nellie Moretz.
they will M4 on to H. Changing
Confrw, and it* method*, is *
rugged Job.
The House Rule* Committe may
tee Its membership changed some
what. And an effort will be made
to knock out Hal* 22 In the U ?
Senate. This is the rule which re
quins a vote of two-third* of
these voting to ihut off free *oeeeh
in the upper legislative body.
A barrage of publicity and criti
cism from the so*alled liberals
holds that this I* an unfair rule,
an unfair majority. But the rule
bas been liberalized twice in the
past fifteen years. It was reduced
from a three-fourths majority to
a two-thirds majority in the Demo
critic days of President Harry
Truman.
Doth these necessary majorities
were constitutional majorities.
That U, three-fourths and two
thirds of the Senate membership
had to vote to end debate ? to ap
ply cloture. Last year Majority
Senate Leader Lyndon Johnson
agreed to another change ? mak
ing Rule 22 applicable by the vote
of only two-thirds of those voting
Thus the total for cloture would
not have to be 07.
Congreaa Is almost sure to face
request* for additional defense
spending totaling three or four,
or even five, billion dollars. The
general belief is that most of the
money aaked will be voted. And
government income must increase
above present intake levels if this
i* to be financed in a balanced
budget.
