SECTION TWO The Roundup By WILBORNE HARRELL Today —The first Thanksgiving day was given over to humble thanksgiving; for the simple and plain things, the harvest, the food and for the divine goodness that had bestowed | these things. Full hearts gave thanks for sim ple survival, and for strength to face the wilder ness with hope and courage . . . Are we thankful for the simple’ things? Or do we take them , .> fK *.l iT^Sn for granted, as HARRELL our due. The American people to day have more than they have ever had; the standard of living is higher than it has ever been. But most of the things of outward 1 prosperity are actually luxuries, things we don’t need and could do without . . . Are you thankful for the simple things in your life?

Fisher Winchester organized the Winchester' Arms Company. “Winchester” became, in time, synonymous with “rifle”. No one said, “Hand me’my rifle”—it was always, “Hand me my Winches j ter.” Authors of books and stor i ies of the West fell.into the habit | of using the word, “Winchester” | for “rifle”. But the greatest , i achievement of Winchester was i! his pioneering in the field of the i repeating rifle. A rifle that would fire rapidly Was the goal of all arms manufacturers, but I Winchester was far out in front of his competitors with the Winches ter repeater. The repeating rifle was the turning point in the development of the rifle, and also spelled the doom of the marauding Indians. The weapons of the Indians could not withstand the firepower of the “magic gun that fired many times.” An interesting fact about In dians: The Cherokee Indians, be ; fore they started any war had to ,I my child.

I "TRyTTIERALxi^LAsiiFIED" • THE CHO WAN HERALD .] get the final approval of the wo , men . . . Come to think about it, that’s not a bad idea to put into practice today. Tomorrow The architecture of churches has always had a quiet grandeur and dignity. Cathed rals have been massive and large, but with a spiritual spaciousness that invited the bodily weary to rest, and soul weary to peace and quiet meditation. Smaller and ' less pretentious churches give the same spiritual invitation, but with a simplicity of architecture and design . . . But now our churches stand in danger of be coming streamlined, their archi tectural motif modern or even ultra-modern. Hamburg, Ger many, has come up with an ultra ■ moHem church that is extreme ! throughout in its design. From steeple to christening font the modern theme is carried out, and the interior of the church has i been adapted to a decorative scheme that is almost futuristic . . . Let us hope that this modern trend in church architecture will ' not become widespread. Weekly Devotional | Column By JAMES MaeRENZIR 1 V * ’Mid sunshine, cloud or stormy days. When hope abounds, or care dis mays, When trials press, and tolls in crease. Let not your faith in God de crease, “In everything give thanks." All things, we know, shall work| for good, I Nor would we change them if we could; ’Tis well if only He commands; His promises will ever stand, “In everything give thanks.” He satisfies the longing heart, He thwarts the tempter's cruel dart, With goodness fills the hungry soul, > And helps us sing when billows roll, ■ “In everything give thanks.” “In everything give thanks” (I Thessalonians 5:18). This is the Word of God to us as another Thanksgiving season rolls around. “In everything give thanks.” And certainly as Americans, and as Christians, we have much to be thankful for. In 1620 when our Pilgrim forebearers celebrated the first Thanksgiving they had no homes, only one suit of cloth ing each, no money, and no place to spend money, no amusements,, no neighbors but savages, and it took months to hear from their friends and loved-ones back in England—yet they gave thanks. Americans today own 80% of the world’s automobiles, 50% of the telephones, a radio for every three persons, one billion acres of farm land, and one-half billion acres of timberland, but I wonder if our prayers of thanksgiving are as fervent and sincere as those that were raised to God that first Thanksgiving so long ago. In everything give thanks. Someone has said that “the best things in life are free.” Air, wa ter, the sunshine, friends, all come t p us without cost in money. In everything give thanks. Health, comfort, food—do you thank God for the food you eat? , A friend of mine formerly pastored a church in Michigan City, Indiana. He tells me that one Sunday a Christian family in his church was invited to eat dinner with some unsaved relatives. The rel atives spread the table and dug in without so much as a nod in the direction of God. The little boy in the Christian family was stun ned at this, and without that training in the social hypocrisies that makes such idiots of us all, he said to the hostess, “Why you’re just like our dog, Spot. He doesn’t say ‘thank you’ before he eats either.” Do you thank God for the tri als, tribulations, frustrations and temptations that come your way? They are part and parcel of His plan, and He works them together for your good (Romans 8:28). Job said, in his deepest agony “though He slay me, yet will I trust Him.” NOT IN TEXAS! —Texans, with a long tradition of boasting that everything is the biggest in their state, will be shocked to learn that someone there has ordered what are believed to be the smallest pair of eyeglasses ever produced. The tiny specta cles measure less than an inch and a half across the front and can almost pass through the rim of a not mal-sized frame. They were made by a Southbridge, Mass., firm. experience, and experience hope But it is not enough just to bow our heads and say “Thank you.” Th Word of God says “Ye draw near to me with your mouth, and honor me with your lips, but your heart is far from me.” Someone has said that there is no thanks giving without thanksliving. True gratitude to God for His bless ings, material and spiritual, will be manifested in transformed Christian living. i gpUPB Mill® By Ted Kestwg Salt-water anglers don't have to spend a lot of money and char ter a big boat in order to latch on to some pretty exciting fish ing action. While big-game fish of the offshore depths hold the spotlight for popularity, there is a spunky little fish that inhabits the shallow coastal waters of the Atlantic that can give a good ac count of itself when spinning or similar light tackle is employed, says Robert D.

This be-whiskered, sharp-nosed; little fellow is known by such names as sea mullet, sea mink, whiting and others, but to those who fish from the Chesapeake Bay area northward to the pro jecting arm of Cape Cod it is known as kingfish. lchthyologi cally it is the northern whiting —Mentieirrhus saxatilis. The kingfish is one of the most delicious fish tHht can decorate a frying pan. Its flesh is sweet and held in high esteem by all lovers of seafood. The first catches are usually made along the New Jersey shores about the middle of April. During June, July and August, these fish spawn in the shallows of the bays along the salt marsh ’ es and the inshore flats. Fishing -for kingfish will be extra-enjo.v --i able if you will fit your tackle to ■ these fish that average from one i to two pounds. A light spinning : rod with a six-pound monofila-l ; ment line and just enough lead i to keep a small hook on the bot-l ■ tom is ideal equipment for the I . quiet bay waters. To fish for the large numbers) of kingfish frequently found in 1 the surf, it is necessary to use a rod that has sufficient power to beast a lead sinker that will hold against the wash of the undertow. Regardless of the heavy gear in the turbulent waters, these fish with dark markings will give a series of rapid strikes, and the angler must have hair-trigger re action to set the hook. In the bays, some anglers pre fer the top of the tide to fish, but Hall claims he has his best luck at dead-low water near an inlet. He also sugests the use of a chum pot filled with fresh ground mossbunker or small piec es of cut bait.
