The first home makers who migrated £rom EiUrope to make their homes in this country had harvested their crops and "they s^ apsiTt a day to tn,ank God for Hiieir lives and for the harvest. That was the beginning of Thanksgiving. Their crops were grown under the most hazardous of circumstances. They first had to clear the land and while cultivating the growing crops they found it necessary to have guns nearby in case of attack by Indians or by wild animals. Yet, those hardly pioneers, who had cer tainly earned what they had made, rev erenced the Great God who gives all good gifts and set apart a day to give thanks for life, food, rainment, and such other bare necessities as they had been blessed with. How much more thankful ought we to be today. The harvest has been plenti ful, in fact there has been more food grown than will be needed. Crops have been produced with less than one tenth of the labor necessary then and at no bodily risk to the producers. In addition to the harvests, we have many more things to be thankful for in this age of complex living. We have the greatest civilization ever known to the human race. We have learned much and have made use of the knowledge obtained. No longer is it necessary to risk life and limb daily to earn a living. Today we live with comforts which would have been unbelievable to the ear ly settlers. But above all we should be thankful for our country which guarantees freedom for every individual just so long as the exercise of freedom does not infringe on the rights of others. We should be thankful that we have the righ/t to worship God as we choose. There should be gratitude in our hearts because we can elect our own rulers, who must operate under the established law of the constitution, and that we can make our own laws. The many conveniences, comforts and luxur'es which we now enjoy should make us grateful and w'e should observe this day in gratitude for our many blessings. The least fortunate of us today have much more to be thankful for than did our fore fathers on the occasion of their first har vest. Today should be a day for joy, but let us in our celebration of the occasion be sane in order that tomorrow may not be a day of sadness as a result of our actions today. Just why some people pick a day like Thanksgiving to get into trouble is'diffi cult to understand. The day is set apart as a day of thankfulness and appreciation and does not suggest riotous living and de bauchery. wkb^Ofiiea that tf « "war broke out ^ Burppe soatiment in tiiia eotmizy would swiftly grow martial,^F®re apparently All the evidence m- dicates that the girei^ bulk of our citizens are grimly determined that this time- we shall stay out—and that, ^irrespective of our sympathies Europe's quarirels are not ours. ' “ " ^ Certainly there is reason in this point of view. For ff the war goes on for years to a bitter and exhausted end, all that is best in ©irope will be submerged, perhaps for generations. It is here, in the Western hemisphere where there has been no ma jor war for three-quarters of a century, that the fruits of civilization must be pro tected and nurtured and developed. We have many big jobs to do at home^ in these unpredictable times. And the biggest of those jobs is to see that the light of free dom, which has been extinguished in so much of the world, is kept bumring here undimmed. Going Too Far According to news reports, employes of the utility company which serves the city of Asheville went on strike Tuesday night and the city was plunged in darkness. Not knowing the merits of th employes side of the controversy, yet we do not hes itate to say that the move was drastic. Throwing a modem city in darkness m^ay cause critical situations. It may have been that there were emergencies in homes and hospitals where light was highly impor tant and it must be remembered that that evil ones love darkness better than light. In other words, darkness is the criminal's paradise. It is understood that the employes were striking for a closed shop. Perhaps it is important to their interesrts that they have a closed shop. We do not argue that point. Yet we contend that the matter involved was not of sufficient importance to throw a city in darkness. Borrowed Comment THE NEW FRONTIER To Soothe Foes OF New.

The pTasant^eaprwae Court'*-,|h6an5r offers President Roosevelt an un usual opportunity to soothe the DeViiptffiktie party’s anU-new deal ers and'hvlp .build a united front for 1940.- He eonld do so,' some are urg ing, by apiminting a man of mid dle-road or moderately right eco nomic tendencies for whom his foes within the party could show a genuine enthusiasm conspicu ously lacking in their attitude to ward previous appdntees. And, the argument runs, the President could make such an ap pointment at no cest to himself, for he already "has his court.” Recent terms of the court have shown that the President’s four past appointments, reinforced by Associate Justice Stone, have sol idly entrenched the "liberal in- terperatlon” of the constitution upon which Mr. Roosevelt has insisted. To urge that the appointment be guided by considerations of party welfare is, of course, to put such an important presidential chore as the making of the Su preme Court upon a coldly prac tical basis. But the proposal has a more idealistic argument be hind it, too. This is derived from a view which has received fairly wide spread acceptance in the past. It is that in such appointments a duty rests upon the President to give the country’s economic and constitutional viewpoints repre sentation on the court. Such a philosophy was said to underlie President Coolldge’s appointment of Stone and President Hoover’s naming of the late Associate Jus tice Oardozo, both new deal main stays in the battle over the con stitutionality of Roosevelt legis lation several years ago. So, it Is argued that by his four appointments and the pres ence of Stone on the 'bench, the Experience has taught Sam President’s viewpoint is adequate-1 Owens of the Gloucester com- ly represented and the time has j munity in Transylvania county come to give the other side a that good stands of clover on his MonttPajM Bh^jg^Nov. rojiia Md kienaagjt ganarally ia- Nof^'Cartdina in October as com- paged September, .

There is no such frontier in this country now and the modern pioneer is one who explores in other directions. We are in an industrial, commercial and financial country now and the pioneering is in other activities. The National Asso ciation of Manufacturers recognizes that situation through its new plan for prizes to outstanding inventors and research work ers which will be awarded in 1940, the year of the 150th. anniversary of the founding of the American Patent System, “The pioneer on the modem frontier,” says the association, “of science and tech nology likewise ventures into the un known and conquers it. He pushes for ward man’s knowledge of the useful arts and sciences and turns the new knowledge into productive uses.” That is what we want and need now. Cattle Sale!

SALE DAY EVERY MONDAY Wilkesboro Livestock Market R. P. RILEY, OWNER BETWEEN THE WILKESBOROS with the Sensational TOMORROW Holiday Trade The Christmas holiday shopping season is here. And we want to call attention to the fact that North Wilkesboro merchants are well prepared to take care of the demands. We would, if possible, discourage any per sons from going elsewhere in the hope of getting better merchandise or services for less money, because a trip for those ob jectives would be just so much time and travel wasted. We have had occasion to make a pre liminary survey of stores here and find them well stocked with merchandise of the holiday season. We have also observed that there are no price increases and this is indeed good news in view of the fact that prices of raw materials have advanc ed. But when these merchants find it neces sary to replenish their stocks you will find that the price tags have bigger figures. :lSnce the outbreak of the war materials made into merchandise you buy in the " stores have advanced in prices and this ad- ▼aace will necessarily be passed on to the .consumer. . ^ , But, as has been pomted out m previ ous articles in thisi newspaper, the early choppers will escape the price advance ' and on substantial purchases the savings will be worthwhile. • u Hcdiday trade tins year is going to be wvjime in ten yeara.

TEACHING THE TRADES (Concord Tribune) Connecticut has decided to do some thing about its unemployment problem. Governor Raymond E. Baldwin announc ed the prospects of immediate jobs for those unemployed who successfully com plete 200 hours of intensive training in some one of the trades. This state, like most of the others, was faced with the problems of young men and womien who have never had any experi ence and never held any jobs and who are today trying vainly to find work. The governor also took into consideration the fact that many older workers, out of work for m'>nths or years, may need; a little brushing up. TTie general idea is to cut down the unemployment list by asking the jobless to go to school for a few weeks.
