TODAY'8 BIBLE VERSE Lying lips are abomination to the Lord: but they that deal truly are hid delight. Proverbs 12:22. ' Thanksgiving 1946 Back when the Pilgrim's Thanksgiving Day first became an annua) vent, , the people simply gave devout thanks for the good of the preceding What do we have to be thankful for In 1W6T Hardly John L. Lewis, who is try lag to gf t himself put in jail and thus become a martyr to the coal miner* and labor generally; Hardly the widening rift between -vr Aft>?v WV<u ' Stxtd.," Uftffb," ? eg-.u.'iiiJL.ti i.ti.'ij^i.JLi'11'v al;;1 nit in world destruction; Hardly the large number of aeeldents that result from carelessness on th6 highways and mean many deaths) Hardly the "greed of man which, basically, is the cause of man's ills and misfortunes. But there is much to be thankful for In 1946. Few families are separated, with a few at home and others marenlng to battle, and those few which are separated can be happy in the knowledge that guns are not being fired except in shooting matches; In America, a "tleast, there is plenty to eat, though the turkey dinnor and trimmings may average ei>;ht dollars plus per family and though the accent may Be off the sweets; There are no breadlines of the eafly tkirties; In spite of its organi7-ail?"(il troubles. the United Nation* has a better chance to succeed than the League of Nations. i The tendency of man is To he dTksatisfied with the present, either took lag ahead to better days, or looking back into those which seemed better. In j^iite of troubles. international and national, local.and personal, an unbiased consideration of the situation must show that there i? plenty.to ha thankful for on Thanksgiving Day lff40. 'Ihe business half-holiilnys are over for 1046. and to accommodate the pub lie for Christmas shopping merchants will be open all day Wednesdays from cow through Christmas. The half-holiday became populiTt during the thirties as a means of giving employees of retailers n little more free time, and the idea has continued to spread. First the small towns adopted the pJa.n and it hns now heen adopted by merchants in many of the larger cities. Thout'li there remain a few who do not like the practice. the majoritv find there is little inconvenience to the public, and that as much work can be accomplished in five and one-half days as six. And the employees appreciate it grently. Unfortunately, the Congressional sya tern of seniority 'sometimes results in important committee chairmanships falling in the hands of relatively inefficient anil unthinking Congressmen ?men who, if they had to be elected from any other district but the one in which they live, would never make the grade. Thus, the chairman-to-be of the House Ways and Means committee which initiates tax legislation. His pronouncements concerning a 20 percent cut in income taxes hSVe already embarrassed the thinking members of the Republican paTty. Senator Taft, who has never been popular with the Herald, must neverthelss be given eredit for his statement that the GOP should first pet the budget balaneed, then talk tax ents. A big debt must be fundod, and it is silly to cut taxes at a time when citizens can best afford to pay them. The cuts should be saved for the rainy day. iv It was a nice gesture the Merchants $ : , Association and Jayeees terfiTered the members of the football squad at last Friday night's homecoming game and finale' of the regular season. The team has worked hard and given the fans - some several thrills over the eonrte f-V 1 of the part nine weeks. -i : r Our congratulations to Henry NelsWr and David Neill who have been honored by being ehossn for memberI '/ ahlp la the Davidson college Beaver &S. ' Attend to it at ascot Sosd back y. . i Vanishing American? Vanishing American is the title applied to the AatArieaa la diss, Sat it might be applied aptly these days to the familiar family pbysidlin known as the general praetitioneer, the man who eoald do everything from setting broken bones to dellverftag babies and a hundred other services in between. Of course, he has not completely vanished, thankfully, but hi?v??umber is growing smaller. Here in Rings Mountain we have four practicing phv*ieians whi will fail in that category, only four for a population area of a minimum of 12,000 people. And during the war the number was only two. Ask the average young doctor these days about his plans. Usually the answer will be that he has plans to specialize. in surgery, and one of its many speeialized departments. At the very least he will not be considering hanging out his M. P. ?'Bn in a community without a hospital. The result Is that many areas are completely without a phvsiel.'.n. Til res idents must wait while a doetor is sum moped from a distance of 15 miles, or more. Among the six ob;ee?ives of the >orti\ i nronna mpilirsi care plan which will he offered to the General Assembly is this one: medical educnt:on lonn fund *o help worthy Xorth Carolina younu men and women who pledge themscKea to practice in i n ral commnnity for four year*. -Ill i'I should assure eventual alleviation of the present problems in this respect All of which ia an indirect way of congratulating W.
