Thanksgiving Day
Thanksgiving Day is drawing
near,
All the turkeys are beginning
to fear
Because they know the days
are short
They are all beginning to snort.
And soon they will be a treat
On someone’s table a delight
ful meat,
When all the folks gather
around
To swap the jokes in the town.

Thanksgiving is a happy holi
day
When almost everything seems
to say,
It is, it is it’s Thanksgiving Day.
But gobble, gobble, what does
Mr. Turkey say,
Gobble, gobble,

Thanksgiving
? Thanksgiving is a happy day;
I On the table the turkey lay,
s ' Mothers, Fathers and children
say,
■ Thanksgiving is the time for
1 work and play.
■ With turkey and cranberry
sauce,
Pudding and pie and all that
sort,
With cake called apple torte.
Ships bringing in turkeys at the
port.
Turkeys say gobble gobble.
Ducks walk in a wabble,
These two birds that are good
to eat
On Thanksgiving they are a
treat.

Our beautiful autumn weath
er and trees have given us so
much science to study. We
learned why leaves change and
whv some are evergreens.
From our windows, we have
watched one tree change. The
maples are a beautiful yellow
and the sturdy oak is the last
to shed its leaves.
We have beautiful science
books and a chapter on rocks
told us about some that Dr. Ba
ker has been telling us about.
We have a large piece of
granite from Stone Mountain,
marble from north Georgia and
stones we have gathered.
Reading “Through the Green
Gate” we have found some of
our old friends. “Miss Lizzie”
is so good to the children and
they come to her with all their
exciting stories and for help
when they get into trouble.
In arithmetic, we have reach
ed one thousand. We say ten
hundreds or one thousand. We
use objects, cards, tops bun
dles of tens and place pockets
to show these facts. Our cash
register and play money are
used for money values. The
workbook rechecks our work.
We are trying to improve our
posture in health. We have had
lessons on eyes, ears, teeth,
nose, and cleanliness. We keep
a notebook, write poems and
outline our chapters. All look
ing forward to our Thanksgiv
ing holidays. We saw a good
picture on pioneer life. We
have so much for which to be
thankful.
Mrs. Evans gave us a nice
surprise and treat. We want to
say “many thanks” again.
The Veterans parade was
grand. Our room had 12 Brown
ies and 10 cubs in the parade.
( They looked so nice and made
good marchers. We are proud
of them.

For the past two weeks our
teacher has had conferences with
our parents. We were glad that
eight pupils had both parents to
cpme to conference. In most
cases only the mother came and
in a few instances only the daddy
came.
We have learned several cute
songs for Thanksgiving. The
names of them are Tu r key .
Gobbler. Mr. Squirrel's Thanks- :
giving, If You Want to Be Gay. .
and My Prayer of Thankfulness. I
We named many, many things for
which we are grateful.
We have had two weeks perfect !
attendance this month. We are
proud of our attendance.
One group has just completed
“Under the Sky,” the second
preprimer. We are enjoying our
story book friends.
This is “book week.” Our
teacher gave us a list of good!
tiooks which are fun to hear. The
list provides some timeless favo
rites as well as some new books.
We visited our large school
library and took time for each
child to browse through the book
collection designated for first
graders. In our “News Pilot" we
had a Book Week supplement. We
like our library table in our class
room.
In art work we selected the pic
tures drawn by Becky Henry,
Dan Porter, Ted Greer, Andy;
Johnson, Beverly Hogan, Mari- ;
gene Banks, Holly Johnson, |
Jackie Brown and Eddie Rowe
as best for the week. Dan’s pic
ture of a large boat in water
made us talk about things that
float, and things that sink i n
water. We also learned about
water evaporating and how it goes
into the air. We found out that
wind and heat make water evapo
rate more quickly.
We are learning to write num
bers. We like the large box of
colored blocks — one hundred of
them — which we use in number
work.
Eighteen of us attended Sun
day School this week. We hope
this number will get larger each
week.
We enjoyed the beautiful fall
flowers brought by Pam Anglin.
Judy Shropshire and Becky
Henry. We enjoy the leaves on
the trees of the playground Jack
Frost has helped to turn them
many colors. Isn't it a lovely
season of the year’’

YOU CAN’T BEAT electricity for doing farm
jobs at low cost. Just ask J. R. Dunagan,
DeKalb county dairyman.
His pipeline milking system milks a cow
twice a day for a month at a power cost of
four cents. With a herd of 55 Holsteins, he
puts electricity to work in many ways.
Mr. Dunagan planned ahead for plenty of
kilowatts. He and a Georgia Power Company
rural engineer designed a modern wiring
system for the farm.
For 33 years these engineers have helped
Georgia farmers. Throughout the state,
thousands* of rural customers served di
rectly by this company are using electricity
to increase production and to hold down
labor costs.
