James F.„ Byrnes, director of
war mobilization, today urged u
reinvigorated drive to conserve and
salvage paper. "The war needs
for paper and paperboard are
greater than our present ability
to produce," Justice Byrnes said.
"We need to curtail all unneces-
sary uses, and to make sure al)
waste paper is saved for the Gov-
ernment Salvage Drive.”
Justice Byrnes stated: "The ,
shipment of bombs and shells de- i
pends upon paper bands and cun- !
tainers. Aircraft signals and para- !
chute flares are made from waste <
paper. Rations, blood plasma, med-
cines, bullet*-- all find their way

V-5 aviation training program
have been broadened to include 17
and 18-year old high school grad-
nates, it was announced today by
ters, in order to keep themselves the Navy,
alive through another New Eng-,
land winter. But when frost and
snow put a stop* to their barely-
begun labors, so thankful were
they for their meagre harvest,
and for God’s protection, that
they dedicated a whole day to
His praise. In celebrating this
first Thanksgiving Day, we
doubt that it was only the har-
vest and the protection that
they thanked Him for. Surely, in
their hearts at least, they thank-
ed Him for their new country,
too; for their new homes; for the
freedom of speech, and of wor-
ship; for the liberties and rights
denied them across the seas, but
won here. •
Have-not we much more to be
thahkful for than these pio-
neers -yes, even though we are
engulfed in a bloody global war?
We, like the Pilgrim Fathers,
are thankful to God for • all his
gift* to u* during the past year;
Mr the season's abimdant har-
vest*; for America and for all
that it stands; deeply thankful
for our naterial benefits and
rich spiritual gifts. We Rotarians
are thankful for the might of our
armies and navies, defending our
homes and rights and ideals; for
tRMHAflH our leaders and the
iijndchw>p of *ur allies. We are
nMnkful for (Air farm* and fac-
tories and their productivity; for
our hcmlsperical unity of nations

mon cause We are thankful for
the Dawn of Victory, at the
same time pledging ourselves to
turn Victory Ant® a constructive,
just Peace.

cans should be thankful. It does
it so well, we believe our read-

In the States, Thanksgiving

Pilgrim Fathers only eleven
months after their landing on

as we are, it may appear , that
they, during that first year in
an unknown wilderness, had
precious little to be thankfu' for.

the 100 who had come with the
