INTERESTING ARTICLE ABOUT THANKSGIVING Since North Carolina is observ ing two Thanksgiving Days thU year the following article ancnt the origin of Thanksgiving Day taken from an issue of Current Events published January 14, 1921, by the American Education Press. Inc., may be of interest: "The custom of observing an autumn day as a day of Thanks giving for bountiful crops seems to have grown up in Massachu tctts quite spontaneously and with out authority of law. ' When the colonies were small, action by the local churches was enough. The first recorded Thanksgiving ap pointed by governmental authority was proclaimed in the colony of Massachusetts Bay for February b, 1631. During the Revolution the Continental Congress eight times recommended to the several states the appointment of days of thanks giving or of fasting. General Wash ington also proclaimed days of thanksgiving during the war and when he 'became president he ap pointed Thursday, November 26, 1789, as a Thanksgiving day throughout the Union. "It was in New England and especially in Massachusetts, that Back in '17 the Thanksgiving custom look the greatest hold on the people. Grad ually jt spread to other slates when Newt Lnglauder.s went as .pioneers to other parts of the country."
