of our society. It is real and auth-
entic. And we are not just merely
seeking publicity, as one person seems
to- think. Signed | -| The D. S. S."
The above quoted statement was
given to a reporter on thei* staff.
Folks, it's beginning to look like
this D. S. S. business is .$ real thing.
Let's all believe it is, anyway.
Have you found out anything a-
bout them yet? We have, and are
passing it on to you.
This society, of six members, is
still meeting daily—-out where ' and
when? The picture for the" Txwoco
has been taken, and we heard it was
good. Maybe we can get that pic-
ture in the Handout after that prom-
ised chapel program by the D. S. S.
Do you like fun with lots of secre-
cy? Then let's hang around and see
what the D. S. $. really is, and who
it is. O. K. D. S. S.!

To many people Thanksgiving Day
is just a hoida'y that is celebrated
with dinner of turkey, pies and cakes
and other good, things to eat. It

first people who celebrated the day.
The festival is in its essense a
harvest thanksgiving, and owes its
origin to the Pilgrim Fathers, as
Governor Bradford first set apart a
day in America""' for thjat purpose
at Plymouth, in 1621.
It w.as suggested, no doubt, by the
English Harvest Homo, an old-fash-

festival in Scotland was known a3
Mell Supper.
The first American Thanksgiving
Day was abserved by Plymouth Col-
ony November 26, 1821. The obser-

Revolutionary War the usage spread
to tSwk—4fcL*ffle States and over the
West, making progress more slowly
southward.
The governors of most states issus
