RENN DRUM 111 I SHOULD LIKE TO SEE THE HANDS TONIGHT OF those who have stopped sometime during the day to be thankful. i. ._ “Thankful for what?” you say, or else you're sure you simply haven’t had time. If you had the day off, you just had to sleep late this morning as a result you came down to cold breakfast and warmed over coffee, or else you had to fix your own breakfast. Either one con vinced you that you were being badly used and you certainly weren’t going to be thankful for hard boil ed coffee and cold-storage eggs. • • • • If you are a housewife, you miss ed that little snooee you usually catch on second bounce because you had to be up earlier than usual to corral the groceries and set the pot boiling. Then, after days of plan ning your Thanksgiving dinner and buying food, and hours of peeling and stewing and baking, you spread your table with a dinner any cook could be proud of, only to have your family treat It as if it were com bread and collards, all because they must be off to a football game and had no time for an artist’s creation in dinners. And you knew you were badly used and had nothing for which to ute thankful. If you are one of the legion of football enthusiasts, you probably rose at cock’s crow this morning and set off in the cold grey dawn for a contest In furrln' parts and spent your day, for the most part, on the highway, snatching a sand wich and a cold drink somewhere along the way for Thanksgiving dinner. Else, you brought on a severe case of indigestion by swallowing the conglomeration of turkey and all its fixln’s so fast you couldn’t taste ’em in order to get off to an early after dinner start few a game near er home. Either way you probably got caught in a traffic jam, reached the game late, got a poor seat, sat next to a loud fellow who rooted for the winning team while your team lost, ate too many stale peanuts to re lieve your nervous tension, had cold feet all afternoon and acquired a could. Yo couldn’t get your car out of the parking jam, you jerked your jaw teetlr loose with sudden starts and stops in your efforts to keep going with the line, and swore at the fellow who aut in ahead of you In that endless stream of cars. You probably lost money on your bets and someone dented the fend er on your new car, and you know you haven’t anything to be thank ful for. • * * • And so it goes. The Pilgrim Fath ers wouldn’t recognise a 1936 model Thanksgiving and, if we ever con vinced ’em it was the same holl- , day they established in November 1621 their sense of humor would demand that we change the name. • • • • It wouldn’t be amiss for anyone > who still lives and breathes on Thanksgiving evening to sneak in a little word of thanks because he isn’t one of the scores who fill the undertaking establishments as a result of holiday wrecks. One might even find it in his heart to be thankful for a job; plenty of good men and women have seen Thanksgiving come and go without that valuable asset. In case you have no job, there’s still health to be thankful few, for yourself and your family. The Pilgrim Fathers even went so far as to be thankful for plenty of good food, for temporary relief from diseases, for a for est full of fire wood, and that large, cold room, known as the "house” in which the family lived, cooked, ate and slept. (Weren’t they the numbskulls, , though, to be thankful when they had no stuffed celery, cranberry j sauce, coffee or cigarettes to sup plement their turkey and potatoes, j and when there was no rellet agency to deliver their fuel and pay their rent. Why, the bid sillies even had to cut and cany their own fire wood and they weren’t ever Invited Out to a bridge party.) • • M • 1 Even the dogs and cats should be j thankful, they had more scraps , than they could eat today, the mules | on the farms had a day of rest while the boss and his family drove \ the Ford over to Cousin Lizzie's for , dinner—in fact, I can think of only , one creature who has no reason to | be thankful today—the turkey. If I weren’t watching the clock ] for quitting time I could think up more thankfuls than you could read, much less practice, but since you wouldn’t thank me for it, if I ( did, I’ll just thank you to let me , off this time. , TRIES CIGARETTE ON HER MOTH BIRTHDAY - FULTON, Mo.—Mrs gdsfcha !

Two of the world’s most instruc tive poems, the "Iliad and the Odyssey," are supposed to have been written by Homer. Historians, tiowever, now dispute this, saying that Homer wrote only the Iliad, tnd not the Odyssey. They say that the Odyssey was written by Greek sailors, telling of their adventures.
