Brief comment: The “Day
of the Week”, of course is
Day with its
home comings and family
i get-togethers, its short va
cation from school and bus
iness, its quiet observance
here anl its All-American
flavor. Th's is the day that

ed by the Pilgrims and first
proclaimed as -a national
holiday by President Lin

community enjoy a happy
day, not forgetting to give
thanks for.ah the blessings
that are our . . . . More hap

be a club con’d do this.AVe
heard so many requests last

ready sale could be found.
Mistletoe, holly, even galax
or other greens would pro
bably sell very well. . . Pic
