Most thankful indeed will be the mothers and fathers of the sons who will be
able to join them in the intimacy of the family circle on Thanksgiving Day this
year. But there will be many homes in which service flags hang, where vacant
chairs will be mute evidence of the fact that sacrifices must continue—-Sacrifices
that are making it possible for us to give thanks now that our cities have not
been bombed, that our people have suffered no starvation, that our children are
safe. Yes, there is much for which we can give thanks, this year, and especially
to those who have given their lives that we may continue free.
We close at 10:30 a. m. Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 23. Please
come for your newspapers early. f
