The Carrollton Lions eleven will meet
the Garland Owls Friday night on Ram-
sey Field in the final game of this
season.
Despite the loss of last week's game
to the Irving team, tha local group
can still share in the conference honors.
Before last week’s defeat the Lions and
the Garland Owls were tied in first
place in the conference. Now, a win
over Garland is necessary to give a
three way tie between Garland, Irving
and CarroUton.
Only once in recent years has the
CarroUton eleven been able to defeat
the Garland team. In view of these
facts, Friday night’s game promises
to be the hist game of the season.

THANKSGIVING
‘What time Thanksgiving?” is noth-
ing new. This country’s first univer
was December 18,
1777, during our struggle for inde-
pendence. The Continental Army,
under General Washington, observed it
again the following year at Valley
forge, scene of bitter hardship.
Through wars, through heartbreaking
civil strife, through years of economic
hardship, they have found deeper, more
moving reasons than in brighter years.
The Pilgrims’ first Thanksgiving is
proof enough of this. True, it marked
a good harvest but the previous win-
ter had been one of hunger and sick-
ness and death. And the Pilgrims knew
they faced severe trials again in the
months ahead. They had learned what
a New England winter could mean.
They knew they were going to have
to fight for existence. The first Thanks-
giving took on more intense meaning
because of the very desperateness with
which they fought for their blessings.
Consequently, it was a fight that in-
volved them all. the women and child-
ren as well as the men. Every member
of the family shared the suffering
and the struggle. And every since that
tirst Thanksgiving day it has had fam-
ily significance. It has that signifi-
cance today. The things for which
we have always been thankful are the
things for which wy are fighting now—
things Alien to the Axis state—our be-
lief in freedom and human dignity.
If those things go, the family goes
with them. They are its existence. The
family must fight for them, must be
willing to face self-denial and suf-
fering and hardships for them, if it
deserves to survive.
It’s not the* lirst time we have fought
for them. After the adoption of the
Constitution, Congress directed Wash-
ington to set aside a day for Thanks-
giving. That was in 1789 and he gave
thanks in that first presidential Thanks-
giving proclamation for the things for
which we had just fought and won,
what were they? The peoples’ safety
and happiness, their civil and religious
liberties—the tilings we find at stake
today.
It should be plain this week, Women
At War Week, that we shall, all
of us, go on fighting for them as long
as they are threatened. Millions of
women are today assuming the bui^
den of industry, serving on assembly
lines, taking their places at the ma-
chines, responsible for our war pro-
duction. For this is the women’s fight
today just as it was in the wilderness
winters of 300 years and more agqM'f
They know the sacrifices involved
are small by comparison witty the
things for whch America is lighting.
They know this llManksgiying that
they have more for which tr, be thank-
ful than any other natto oP earth.

Two Programs
Requested By
Civilian Defence
Block Plan And
Meat Rationing Are
Deemed Necessary
Two programs that civilians can use
as weapons to help win the war at
home were announced for the Eighth
Region of Civilian Defense today by
R. E. Smith, Regional Director. Gov-
ernment experts setimate that these two
programs, if fully sponsored by the
people, will be as effective in the fight
against the Axis on the home front
as Airacobras over Africa. They in-
clude voluntary meat rationing, and a
new plan for all-out civilian war ser-
vices, called the Block Plan.
In every city block or similar small
geographical unit in this country, civ-
ilian war services under the Block Plan
will be reorganized on the basis of
all-out neighborhood participation. Thus,
programs like meat rationing will be
carried out by the simple process of
neighbors working together. “Block
Leaders” will be appointed as their name
implies, for qualities of leadership, to
head unit organizations which will
carry out civilian war services. These
leaders will see to it that every fam-
ily in their respective neighgborhoods
is enlisted in the bigger, more effective
civilian army that is planned.
“Block Leaders will contribute direct-
ly to our national war program when
they win the cooperation of their neigh-
bors in the voluntary^ conservation
of meat.
'Voluntary meat rationing should be
clearly understood for exactly what it
is—an immediate as well as a longer
range plan to fulfill the needs of our
armed forces, and, under lend-lease
contract, those of our fighting Allies.
“It should be irfide (Sear that there
is no shortage of meat in this country.
More meat is being produced this year
than ever before in our history, but the
demands of war exceed the demands
of peace. We must supply our civilian
population, our army, and, to a large'
extent the armies of (Mr Allies. We are
asked to limit ourselves voluntarily
to two and one-half pounds of meat
each week for each adult; not much
less than the average American eats at
present, but representing enough of
a saving to assure, full strength to the
battalions of liberty and to help in
some measure the hungry, uprooted mil-
lions of the earth,” Janies M. Landis*
National Director of the Office of Civ-
ilian Defense said in a statement issued
this week, ,
Wt have got to have an economy of
food. I ask most urgently that every
Defense Council and every Block Lead-
er get squarely behind the voluntary
meat rationing campaign, so that every,
housewife will know the importimP®
it holds for out; success in the hitter
olruggle ahead. Bring tha war Into the
American kitchen and take tha kltohen
straight into the war so that planning,
saving and serving every American cai^
make this direct contribution to th*
winning of the war, Tills Is a challenge
that , every Blocp Leader can accept*
a jem in which prompt action will
bring an immediate response from every
community in the nation.”
