A DAY OF GIVING THANKS
Fortunate Americans are able to
obeerwe this Thanksgiving in their
sang homes with those they love.
And though there may be a meant
chair at the table, which is viewed
with misty eyes, they will remember,
those who are carrying oo'at home,
that the others who are serving on
the battle fronts realize what they
are fighting for and deem no price
too gnat to insure the preservation
of family life and peaeefol homes.
All our energies, hopes and productivity
must be coordinated with
just me goal; ultimate liberation of
peoples enslaved and a final peace,
whatever the way and whatever the
sacrifice necessary to achieve it.
This is the first Thanksgiving Day
to follow oar active participation in
the present war. Hardly a time for
holiday making as we think of what
is happening in the greater part of
the world! But it certainly is a time
to give thanks that America is not
among the conquered lands or the
corpse strewn battlefields, and that
ours are not an enslaved people.
This is a time to renew hope and
faith in the peace that will follow the
Let everyone observe it Let all
look forward to the Thanksgiving
Days that are to come when a just
peace shall pervade all nations, a
peace so fortified by Democracy that
none will ever again seek to destroy
