HANKSGIVING DAY

Thanksgiving has been a legal
Loliday in the United States since
1704, although it was celebrated
for the first time on ‘Nevember
00, 1621 at Plymouth Colony:
On December 16, 1620 the Pil
«rims landed en the bleak coast
of New England. During the cold
winter more than half of the col
ony died. The lives of the Colon
ists depended on the seed sown'in
the spring, and thus when t he
grain was cut and the's harvest
found to be abundant, &Governor
Bradford proclaimed a day of
Thanksgiving. He sent four men in
search of game who returned with
a large number of fowl, mostly
turkey. The women spent days
baking and roasting the feast
which lasted for three days. A
large party of friendly Indians in
cluding chief Massasoit came
bringing deer and turkeys. The
event was marked by prayers and
sermons.
f During the Revolution ad day of
'national thanksgiving was annu
ally recommended by Congress
and eight special days of thanks
ziving were observed %ter great
lxictories. After peace was' made
in 1784, this national holiday was
|no longer observed. & Sl i
~ In 1789 President Washington
appointed Thursday, November
26 as a day of Tha%jv"mg to
honor the establishment of the
newly adopted Constitution of the
United States. !
Tranksgiving Day continued to
be celebrated in New England
particularly as a day marked by
religious services in the churches
ind family reunions.
~The annual observence of
I'hanksgiving Day was brought
about by the persistence of Sarah
Hale who for twenty years wrote
ecditorials in Godey’s Ladies Book
and who sent letters to the dis-
lerent Presidents urging a nation
al observance of this day. She in
fiienced President Lincoln to is
sue the second presidential proc
limation in 1864, appointing the
fourth Thursday in November as
1 day of thanskgiving. Thereafter
Thanksgiving has been a legal hol
ey in ail the States, territories
and possessions of the United
States by annual proclamation of
the President and the governors
of, the States.
As americans we can be thank
ul this Thanksgiving Day in 1948
that we are a free people who
think, speak and worship as we
choose. No other country has the
tood, the wealth or the resources
of America. We can be proud of
those brave Pilgrims who endured
such hardships and were reward
ed by a bountiful harvest for
whic hthey gave thanks to God on
our first Thanksgiving Day.

Farmers Can
Help Protect
Food--Brown
Farmers who have spread a
green blanket of wine=r cover over
their land are helping protect the
Nation’s food and fiber supply,
says John G. Brown, chairman of
the Clarke county Agricultural
Conservation Committee.
They are safeguarding the Na
tion against poverty and famine,
for by carrying out this soil con
servatoion practice they are pro
tecting the land against erosion
and depletion. By holding the soil
and building into it reserves for
future production, cover crops
help assure future abundant pro
duction.
The leaves and stems of the cov
er crop plants — clover, vetch, rye
grass, lupines, winter peas and
others — break the fall of the
raindrops, preventing the bom
‘bardment and breaking up of the
surface soil. The leaves and stems
slow down the flow of excess wa
ter, checking the washing away
of topsoil and the formation of
|gullies. The roots hold the soil to
lgether and help the land to ab
‘»sorb more of the moisture that
falls. S ¥
When the cover crop is plowed
under, the organic matter in the
soil helps to hold the soil togeth
er. The plant food taken up in the
cover crop is released for the
growing of the cotton, corn or
other field crops which may be
grown on the land following the
cover crop. Plant food that may
have been washed away or leach
ed out without a cover crop is
stored in the roots and leaves and
stems of the cover crop for use
of the crop that follows.
The chairman points out that the
assistance provided io farmers on
a share-the-costs basis under the
Agricultural Conservation Pro
gram has done much to encourage
farmers to provide this vital pro
tection to the soil that- assures
continued abundant food supplies
to the nation.

SERIOUS DRAMA
University Theater Presents
“The House Of Bernarda Alba’
By GORDON TRETICK
| For ihe season’s second major
'| production, the University Thea
tre will turn from the light to
the serious. As a follow-up to the
lsuccessful comedy “Life With
! Father,” they will present the
|beautiful and intensely power
y'ful drama ‘““The House of Ber
narda Alba” which will be shown
at 3:30 at the Fine Arts auditor
.ium on December 1,2, and 3.
The play was written by the
| Paste Stpanish poet and play
t wright Federico Garcia Lorca, an
unknown to many of us, but to
. his counirymen a gpeat literary
figure. He, more so than his
| contempories, has suggested in
. his work the passion and the
{;suffering of his people.
i Untimely Death
¢ In 1939 during the Spanish
hfi-Civil War Lorca met a untimely
'ydeath when he was shot down by
¥ a rebel firing squad. He was
fl“then 37 and was ' alrzady con
asidered Spain’s most popular
tpoet. His genius had even spread
lin South Amepica and this coun
try. Today he is most admired
lfor his revival of peasant drama
@s, a new, popular art and his
dervotion to the emergence of a
fré:e and modern Spain.
*The House of Bernarda Alba”
is the last and perhaps the finest
of the Lorea plays. Here the
ste4ge sustains a tense, sultry at
motsphere where a cruel, domine
erir g mother holds her five daug
hters in complete subjection. The
dauiihters are forbidden to have
any: outside contact with men
and' are only allowed to leave
the house with a chaperon. The
insatne fastidiousness of the mo
ither has prevented any of them
from' marrying. For years they
\have existed in a living hell, and
'have become sick, neurotic and
intensiely frustrated. The very
air t'hat they breathe smells of
suspicion, fear, and hate. All
this leads to the fatal, tragic cli
max ‘where the greatest dramatic
impact of the tragedy is felt.
Successful Tragedy
Never before in modern drama
has tragedy been so completely
successful. Always gripping and
stimulating, the play arouses
tears, and velieves the basic emo
tions of pity and fear. There is
great suggestion in its symbolism,
tremendous power in its simple,
dynamic use of words, and im
mense beauty in its poetry. In his
grand conception of tragedy, Lo
rea is perhaps closer to the classic
twentieth-century playwright.
Like all of Lorca’s plays, “The
House of Bernarda Alba” has
seldom been produced in this
country. It was given by the
Passadena Playhotise in Los Ang-~
eles early in 1947, The University
‘production will be one of the
{irst presentations of the play in
the East. Director Jack H. Nee
son has obtained permission from
the iranslators of the play to pro
duce it before it has its scheduled
Broadway production.
The cast is made up entirely of
women. The roles are aptly filled
by these members: Bernarda,
Sara Belle Rosenberg; Poncia,
Virginia Woodall; Servant, Jackie
Fuller; Angustias, Zanier Downs;
Magdelina, Lanette Hutchins;
Amelia, Betty Wilson; Marterio,
Jane Dancer; Adela, Josephine
Keeter: Beggar Woman, Christ
ine Riley; Mourning Women,
Leslie Sneed, Lorraine Plant,
Nell Holmes, and Sally Allen,
Grandmother, Caroline Rose.
