Years ago when the early set
tlers declared a day of Thanks
giving. they set the pace for one
of the most beautiful holidays
that is ours to enjoy. And we be
lieve that as long as there >s an
America, there will be a day set
aside in which to give thanks to
God for his manifold blessings to
Rtankind.
Those pioneers in the building
Os this wonderful country of
ours, knew how to count their
blessings. They had gone through
much privation and hardship, so
when the day came that God re
warded their labors by a bounti
ful harvest, they called a day of
Thanksgiving and feasting with
all their neighbors including the
Indians.
We have tome a long way since
that day. God has blessed Ameri
ca. She has ever been a Christian
nation. Os course there has been
a lot of wrongdoing committed. ।
as there will always be as long
as there is a satan to tempt peo
ple. but taking it as a whole, j
America is a Christian nation. '
Through the ages she has been
like a light-house in the midst of ;
the stormy seas, and other na- I
tions floundering amid the temp
est look to America for help and
guidance. People of these nations
like to migrate here believing .
there is safety and freedom with- ।
in our borders. May it ever be
true that we are the “land of the j
free and the home of the brave,” !
for this fair land of ours was j
sought out and founded in the
beginning on such a standard.
So on this Thanksgiving day,
November 22, 1956, may we rise
up and sing all together; “God '
Bless America,” and then on
our knees thank God for our
many material and spiritual
blessings while in our hearts we i
resolve to prove our gratitude
to Him by our daily walk, and
to help others come to know the
way of peace —a peace that
begin* first in our hearts and
then with our fellowmen.
Well, all those who usually at
tend the Saturday night Young
IL ople’s meeting, met at the
church and upon invitation, went
over to the old time singing at
near by Sardis Church, which
everyone enjoyed.
It is hoped that around 125
from County Line will attend
“M” nights. December 3 and 5 at
Conyers and Lithonia.
Many of the members hope

Community News from
Salem
By MRS. DOUGLAS YANCEY
The traditional Thanksgiving
Day will be celebrated this week
and as we begin this column and
think of the many things that ,
we all here in America have to
be thankful for, it is a difficult '
task to pick out the greatest
blessing we do have after we have
named the freedom of worship.
[That I think is the greatest bless- ,
. ing that we have, for if we re
meniber our history, we will
know that is why the colonists
had their first Thanksgiving Day
celebration. Let's go back just a
bit and refresh our thoughts
about our forefathers in Mass
achusetts as they celebrated the
first Thanksgiving Day more
than three centuries ago. We ;
won't be spending weeks getting
, ready for the biggest feast of the
I year as the Pilgrims did—Nor
' will our Thanksgiving services
across our land be held in the
crude brush arbors and in the
open air as they were then,’ nor
I will we be traveling by foot
miles to give thanks for our bless
। ings; so when we think of the
many comforts we have, added
to the fact of freedom of wor
ship, then we wonder if we are
thankful enough for our many
blessings today.
As for food on this day of days,
its the tired and true—not the
exotic or unusual dishes that we
like at Thanksgiving time. Plain
old-fashioned cranberry sauce,
mince meat or pumpkin pie and
of course—the bird! It—such an
important personage as the bird
—should almost be referred to '
as “he’’—tantalizes everybody
with that aroma and taste that
belongs only to the turkey and
| across all of America Thursday
j that important fellow will grace
many a table of the family get
together for the Thanksgiving
Day celebration. As for this re
porter and family, we celebrated
| Thanksgiving on Sunday before,
for it was not possible for us to
■be together on that day. And
even if we don’t have Indian
com hanging on our door as a
■ sign of welcome as did the Pil
grims back in the 1600 s, we still
love to stop in our busy lives
and give thanks for our many
; j blessings.
Mother nature has done her
self proud just at this time of
1 | year right here in Newton Coun
; ty, for as we look out over our
\ woodland we see the prettiest
dress of all the year and the fall
flowers have been beautiful this
i year as usual. These are some of
the things we take for granted.
I but it is just one of God’s bless
! ings to us.
j The little column that was
written by the Salem reporter
last -week in regard to speed and
I safety has drawn some remarks
!of gratitude and we would like
jto add one more plea for safe,
। careful driving and use of our
; highways and streets as we go
into this holiday week.
Mr. and Mrs. Calvin Smith
visited Mr. and Mrs. Aubrey
! Piper in Henry County last Sun
day afternoon.
Ihe basketball game between
the teachers and mothers, and
। the men and boys of Livingston
School last Friday night was
quite a success and plans are
underway for more such fun in
the near future. So look else
where in the paper this week
for details.
