TOWN TALK
respect attention, consideration, etc.,
rather than expensive and unneces-
sary efforts that I probably wouldn't
like anyway.
This is not to say that if you have
an excessive amount of money that
you need to be rid of, forget me,
because I could use it and probably
would be a much better shopper than
you. However, do not expect me to
change my philosophy of thanksgiv-
ing because the holiday season
doesn’t come with a price tag. or at
least in dollars and cento. Some of
my best friends have tremendous as-
sets and money, but I like them and
they like me for what we are, and not
for what we are trying to make the
other to be. Thank God for thr?
because they might be as hardheaded
as me.
If there was a way for me to give
every reader of this column the
warmth and thankfulness that I have
in my heart approaching this Thanks-
giving holiday season, I would do it
and love it. God has been good to me
and my family, for which I am daily
grateful There is no abundance of
weakh in Jottan in our family, but
there is more love and respect m our
family then a bank could hold if you
could put a dollar value upon it
This Thanksgiving it io impos-
sible far me to save the world, but it
tomy conviction that if both you and
I act only give thaaks far our Mess-
tegs but contribute to the wel’ being

Thanksgiving
George Washington proclaimed No-
vember 26 as a day of Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving Day continued to be
celebrated in the United States in
different ways in different states until
1863 when President Abraham Lin-
coln issued a proclamation setting
apart the last Thursday in November
for the purpose of observing a special
day of thanksgiving. The President
urged prayers in the churches and in
the homes to “implore the interposi-
tion of the almighty hand to heal the
wounds of the nation and to restore it
to the full enjoyment of peace, har-
mony, tranquility, and union.”
In 1939, President Franklin D.
Roosevelt advanced the Thanksgiv-
ing Day one week. Two yean later,
it was changed again and Thanksgiv-
ing Day is now celebrated on the
fourth Thunday in November.
Tobe truly observed, the holiday
ofThanksgiving involved not merely
‘thanks’ but “giving” also.
