ANNIE BRYANT Have you ever watched the expression on the face of a happy person who has just ex claimed, "what do you plan to do for- the Thanksgiving holiday!" The lethargic reply is, "I'll just be thankful to be alive to see the day." Now, we have two dour faces. Surely, just to be thank ful to see the day is not enough. All the pleasures we enjoy are our finest expressions of thanks for life and home and inner peace and plenty. Looking forward to an ex tra day of rest from our work a-day toils (enslavements) and, big dinners with roast turkey, rich stuffings, sugary-buttery yams, vegetables seasoned with ham-hock; our favorite pies enriched with butter 'n spices 'n everything nice -- is won derful. But an extra day of rest, plenty of good things to eat, cheerful friends to share the fruits of our labors gives us additional incentive for wanting to be numbered among the living; but, this is not yet enough. The Pilgrim Fathers at Plymouth, in the year 1621, made a week of Thanksgiving. A week of feasting and wor ship as a sign of their appre ciation of God's blessings in Local Births The following births were reported to the Durham County Health Department during the week of November 8 through 13, 1971: Sandj and Virginia Reams, boy; Fred and Diana Brooks, girl; Elbert and Meleta Hunter, girl; John and Diana Miller, girl; Joseph and Charlene Gates, boy; Jerry and Wanda Jones, boy; Neville and Toni Grow, girl; William and Beverly Marsh, girl; Cletis and Karla Marsh, boy; Miles and Millicent Elmore, girl; Troy and Paula Anderson, boy; John and Gillian Ames, girl. , Jerry and Brenda Harris, boy; Jerold and Peggy McCaw, boy; Robert and Janice Harris, boy; Jerry and Marjorie Car dent boy; Robert and Jeannine Flynn, boy; James and Linda Brooks, girl; Ronald and Linda Baxter, boy; Robert and Beverly White, boy; Timothy and Deloris Smith, boy; Alex and Margaret Agerston, boy; Ray and Leonel De Berry, boy; Willie and Freda Andrews, boy; Joseph and Ernestine McDowell, girl.

Only 500 of these last more than a year in the marketplace, adds ex tension consumer marketing economists, N. C. State University. the new world. A week of giving thanks is better, how ever this is not enough. History show various ac counts of Thanksgiving. Con gress recommended an annual Thanksgiving during the Revo lution and a special Thanks giving in 1784 for the return of peace. Washington set aside a Thanksgiving Day in 1795 for the general welfare of the peo ple. .Since 1863, we have follow ed, consistently, the last Thurs day in November as a day of general Thanksgiving for per sonal and national blessings. All of the foregoing reasons for thanksgiving are noble, however, we should make Thanksgiving a daily function. Not only by words of mouth, but through kindly deeds, happy thoughts of ourselves and others. These will shine brightly in our eyes and smiles to assure a kindred soul that God dwells within. Also, our thanksgiving should brighten the way for those who have lost their way or feel that hope, in a world of despair, is not like the jack o'lanterns we often trail in the darkness. Mrs. Annie Bryant is a shining example of one who makes every day a day of Thanksgiving. The lady is a handicap -- a cripple. And for 20 years, she was blind. Seven of these blind years were spent nursing her sick husband, Mr. George Bryant. Unable to hire professional services or depend on friends and neighbors, Mrs. Bryant did her nursing, laundry work, cooking and house keeping. And the lady is a champion housekeeper.

Her sight was restored through prayer and an operation. Her outlook on life is optomistic; she radiates cheer and good will; her laught er is soft and full of genuine mirth. There is a natural order liness in all Mrs. Bryant does; the decorous manner in wtfhich she dresses; Bible Reading helping others. Turning the other cheek is her basic philo sophy. Mrs. Annie Bryant is a member of Union Baptist Church; a member of long standing - since 1940. She is a member of the church's "Pastor's Aide Club." To one and all, Writers Forum wishes for you a joyful, plenteous, enthusiastic Thanksgiving Day. Bulwer-Lytton - English novelist wrote: "Enthusiasms is the genuis of sincerity."
