The Unexpected Has Happened Secretary of State Cordell Hull addressed a joint meeting of the House and Senate recent ly and when he referred to Joseph St rim. ..as.. one of the greatest statesmen of the age the building almost shook with applause. After ten years of bitter criticism and conden nation, the red-> alters apparently have beer, blocked. Many of those who had recognized the good along -.w.jtb. th,e,bad jn .Russia never dreamed they would live long enough to hear Capitol Hill applaud Joseph Stalin. But, at last, the unex pected has happened, and it is to be sincerely hoped that we will not close our eyes and minds to the facts and discredit the good along with the bad in nations and individuals. Ten years ago when President Roosevelt rec ognized the Soviet Union, he was criticised and condemned. Since that time and up until the Moscow conference, so many “leaders” in and out of Congress have never failed to take a pot shot at Russia. Possibly if they had followed Roosevelt and reserved their roles as smart and know-all critics, this war would never have been started. And think what that would have meant in terms of life and property. But there are those who still see red when Russia is mentioned. And there are those who still think it more important to attack Roose velt and his administration than it is to win this war and protect the rights of the common man. />#*< Us Say “Thank \ on" By Ruth Taylor. Most of us were brought up in homes where the fine old custom of saying Grace prevailed and we learned to daily express our gratitude to the Giver of all Gifts. “In our home we say Grace” meant something very real and fine. Saying Grace is a custom that should be part of our lives today, for we have much for what to be thankful Although the road is rough and the toll greater than we can yet conceive, we know that victory lies ahead. What are we thankful for tins Thanksgiving Day? We are thankful that we have learned much in the two years since war came upon us. We have lost much, but we have learned what things are essential and what we can do with out. External things can never again have as vital a meaning to us. u ; ■ - rr——. TTu We are thankful that we have in the mis ery of these days learned that the ideals of which we boasted on holidays and at cam paign times are living things for which we are willing to sacrifice. We are thankful that we have learned how to spend less time thinking about what we want for ourselves, more time concentrating on our duties to others and more time enjoying those mercies we already possess.
