THANKSGIVING
Thanksgiving Day, tomorrow, Alaskans, and
those in the States will again devote themselves to the
commemoration of a series of memorable events in the
history of the nation. The first Thanksgiving Day was
established by the Pilgrims in the year 1621; by the Mass
achusetts Bay Colony in 1630; by Connecticut in 1639;
and by the Dutch in New Netherland (New York) in 1664.
President Washington appointed a day for thanksgiving
in 1789, which action was followed by President Lincoln
in 1864. Each succeeding President has followed the ex
ample.
Many will seek to fulfill their obligations to Prov-1
idence by resting in silent contemplation of whatever j
blessings may have been bestowed upon them. Still others
may seek amusement, or the more enlivening pursuits
that tend toward the joyous and lighthearted."
Then there is a class that will do none of these things
nor take any part either in the efforts at concentration
of Thanksgiving Day or interest themselves in whole
some enjoyment of less devotional activities. This latter
is an unfortunate class, and these latter are missing a
great deal out of life.
Even if one does not feel cabled upon to attend a
Thanksgiving exercise, he should search the recesses of
his own heart and conscience for a response in gratitude
for life and for all of the possibiliteis it holds in store.
There are few, if any, to whom opportunity does not
in some manner beckon and to whom Devine Guidance
has not in some form been made abundantly manifest. j
Whatever thanks the people offer for their material i
blessings will find a just counterpoise in sincere acknow-;
legements for .an increased wealth of spirit, character |
and virtue which are becoming the common possessions 1
of all.
.The local public is afforded a splendid opportunity
tonight to glimpse the social side of Elks’ lodge through
the public dance under their auspices. The lodge is in
process of formation here and it will help a lot if the af
fair is extra well attended. A fine time is assured all.
Though it is impossible for many citizens of Sew
ard to accompany the High School basketball team to
Anchorage tomorrow yet the young stalwart athletes
will be glad to know the home-town folk are with them
morally, knowing the boys will give their best; and at
the same time be “good sports/’ win or lose.
