i Disaster relief work, service to dis
abled veterans and their families, pub-
! lie health work and it3 many other
| activities caused expenditures of $11,-
J 001,000 by the American Red Cross
tor the year ended June 30, 1929, ac-
cording to the annual report of the
organization.
This work by the Itod Cross i3 sup-
ported by the annual Roll Call for
members, which is held from Armis-
tice Day to Thanksgiving Day, No-
vember 11 to 23.
Directing attention to the heavy ex
per.dltures by the Red Cross during
the past year, and to the fact that
the organization was called upon for
assistance in 120 disasters in the
United States and its insular posses-
sions, Judge John Barton Payne, the
chairman, said:
"The Red Cross is a volunteer «o-
clety, supported by its membership,
flitd belongs to all of the citizens.
While it is a semi-governmental
agency in that the President of the
United States is its president, and one-
third of its governing board are rep-
resentatives of Government depart
ments, jot it receives no linaucial sup-
port from the Government.
"Funds for our work for war vet
erans and their families, for carrying
on disaster relief, for our varied
health activities, the life saving and
lirst aid work and our many other ac-
tivities, all are derived from the mem
berahip fee. The public is asked only
once each year—at the Annual Roll
Call—to join in this support, of the
Red Cross."
The Red Cross expended an aver
age of $930,000 per year in the past
seven years, in disaster relief work,
from its own treasury, statements
show. The work for world war vet-
erans also has caused heavy expendi-
tures.
Thanksgiving, in the United i
States and Canada, is a day set j
apart annually for giving thanks!
to God for the blessing of the j
year. Originally it was a harvest
thanksgiving after crops were
gathered.
The Pilgrim under Governor
Bradford issued the first call for
thanksgiving at the close of the
first crop season in America. The
women of the colony made great
preparations, and even the Indians
were invited in and responded with
their wild turkey and vension. It
was an occasion of feasting, re-
joicing. and thanksgiving.
Mrs. Sarah J. Hale won the title
of "Mother of Thanksgiving," She
wrote presidents for 20 years, and
finally prevailed upon President
Lincoln to appoint "last Thursday
in November 1863 as a national
Thanksgiving Day, from that year
hence, Thanksgiving has been an-
nually set apart by presidential
proclamation. The day is not na-
tional legal holiday_as the United
States has no legal holiday-not
even the Fourth of July; but al-
most every state has legalized it
by legislative act. Throughout the
country, especially in New Eng-
land where the custom originat-
ed, the day is looked upon with
| great reverence. It is peculiarly
| a family clay, and the very sound
j of the name brings back pleasant
: memories of "back home." of the
! old fireside; the old farmhouse
j kitchen and the pantry crowded
; with "good things."
Thanksgiving to-day should
mean much to us because we have
vast more to be thankful for than
did our ancesters.
The Pilgrims lived in a land
barren of even the real necessities
of life, yet they had much to be
thankful for. We live in a land
comfort, progress and plenty. On
this good day. November 28, 1929,
set apart as a day of Thanksgiving
and prayer, let us give thanks unto
God for health, for food and rai-
ment. for happiness, for prosperty,
and for all the good things which
are ours to enjoy. "Let US
Give Thanks.

,p.s. KIRK'S husband wasn't expecting her
back from Fort Worth until Sunday morning,
but she came home on Saturday night.
'Til surprise them," she told herself, slip-

house quietly.
Savon." odors came from the kitchen and she
heard voices behind the closed door.
"Yes, sir; your mother's the best cook on
earth," she heard her busband saying to her
son, ''but, my boy, she certainly doesn't make
good coffee. She's such a dear, good woman,
though, that I have never liked to tell her so."
'"Well, it's good that we found out about this
White Swan Coffee and laid in a good supply
while ^he was gone, Dad," her boy said. "I
think she'll notice the improvement."
Mr?. Kirk was 'a good sport' and a wise
woman. She slipped back to the front door
again, s'.ammed it and shouted, "Look who's
here!'
Mr. Ki;-!; and his son raced to meet her and
immediately after the embraces were ex-
changed, e said, "By the way, i ran across
the most v nderful coffee in Fort Worth. It's
called While Swan and ..."
