It is not easy for us to think
back to 1620 when the Pilgrims
landed at Plymouth, Mass. At that
time there was very little settle-
ment of human beings, mostly In-
dians, and a vast forest. But they
had a purpose, these travelers to a
new land. They wanted freedom—
and space in which to exercise it.
Their lives been preserved after a
rough crossing of the ocean in a
frail ship
And so it was in appreciation for
all the many benefits accorded to
them, that the Pilgrim Fathers de-
cided to celebrate their coming to
a new and strange land by giv-
ing thanks to the great Father of
all Thus we have carried on the
tradition of Thanksgiving, after
plentiful harvests and a kindly care
over us during each year. In the
United States, governors and the
| President issue a Thanksgiving
j proclamation.
It is the spirit of Thanksgiving
that has the meaning, not the mere
i preparation for a feast in which so
many engage. The simplest fare can
be full of meaning and gratitude.
Thanksgiving should be an habitual
ceremony on our part, and every
day we should thank our Creator
for the many blessings that are
i ours. We should be thankful for the
I privilege of living in a free land,
j with endless choices for service and
i happiness. What other nation in
i al It his world has placed upon its
(coins the words: "In God We
Trust?” It is because of this trust
that this nation has become the
most powerful one in all history
The celebration of our Thanks-
giving Day should be one of great
gratitude and humility of spirit. As
individuals in America we are uni-
quely blessed. The humblest born,
with uplifted head, can exclaim:
"This is my home! This is Ameri-
ca! This is the land of blessing that
keep running over!"

Thornton, extension agricultural
chemist.
It may la> easier to burn them
but the extra time required to put
them m a compost pile will return
dividends, explains the specialist
The compost can be used n< xt year
to increase the organic matter in
the soil or for mulching flowers,
shrubs or vegetables. Mulches are
valuable for controlling soil tem-
erature and conserving moisture.
Making a compost nilr is a simple
operation. Scrap lumber or a tVv.
i feet of net w ire and four posts
will take care of the enclosure, s i\s
Thornton. Start with a six - inch
layer of leaves and lor a lour ton:
square enclosure dissolve a cup of
commercial fertilizer, either 5-10-5,
8-8-8, in water and sprinkle the
solution over the leaves. Keep add-
ing these alternate layers until the
pile reaches the desired neight
Leave the top layer somewhat sau-
cer shaped as an aid for holding
