Color of Roofing Not of First Importance Many miles away, as one approaches a town, we note how conspicuous are the roofs and church spires against an almost solid blue-green background. Most of us recall the days when these roofs were hardly without ex ception of mnatural blue-gray slate, suggestive of the ruggedness our fore fathers observed when designing and building their homes. These roofs en dured years with no attention whatso ever. When once applied they were entirely forgotten, These houses were built in a period of good, sound construction and these very buildings are standing today with their original roofs, beautiful in their quaint stanchness. In some communities vivid pene trating color later found its way both in natural slate and in manufactured roofing materials, A choice of every known shade became available to ap pease the public taste, often with the result that the less scrupulous builder was tempted to give color, but un fortunately, disregard quality. However, the fallacy of such prac tice is now b®ing felt. The annoyance and expense of upkeep has injected much seriousness in the thoughts of the home owner or buyer. Thus W(; are back where we started —and a bit wiser. Color is desirable, it is true, but if durability must be sacrificed to attain it, it is scarcely worth while. After all, the great strength and sturdiness of a roof im parts a keen sense of subtle beauty. Put on a roof that does its duty— sheds water, and stays where it is put without further attention, and add color if obtainable economically. Plan New Home With View to Environment Of all the factors that must be taken into consideration in the pur chase of a home, environment is one of th: most important. All other things being equal—good transporta tion, frequent service, accessibility to schools, churches, stores, employment —these and many other elements may count for nothing if the immediate neighborhood and those who go to make up that neighborhood are not in keeping with the ideas and ideals of the prospective home purchaser. Because of this the new home will either fulfill all the hopes and ex pectations of the newcomer in the neighborhood or it will fall short, re sulting in dissatisfaction, discontent ment and unhappiness, and the pur chase, instead of becoming an invest ment, indeed becomes a cost. Buildine Height Limit. Believing that a uniform height for buildings should be maintained throughout the metropolitan area of a city as well as within the city’s terri torial limits, the Los Angzeles realty board, through its hoard of directors, will ask the county supervisors of Los Angeles county to adopt a height-limit ordinance for the county, a report to the National Association of Real Estate Boards states, The uniformity of building heights has produced a distinctive type of downtown development and has re lieved to some extent the congestion attendant where height is unlimited, board officials state, If buildings are permitted to rise to any height out side of the city limits, however, the present healthy sentiment of Los An geles city against high buildings might be broken down, the board points out, Garden Attractiveness. The difference between just a house and a really charming home—is the garden, Nothing can give you more wholesome pleasure than a distinctive, well-chosen garden, A border of roses—a group of jon quils—a spattering of iris—a bed of shy violets—what an Inspiring trans. formation they can effect with thelr natural charm and color, Properly planned, they add greatly to the en- Joyment of your home through the best months of the year, Many charming effects may be achieved by planting the right sue cession of perennials—with almost no subsequent care at all.

Most of the Colonists, having been farmers in the north of England, now betook themselves to the custom of that section of the country in cele brating the bringing in of the last harvest sheaf. First a wicker basket was carried into the common house, and festooned with many colored rib bons, as gay in its festival array as the people who gathered round it. When the basket was in readiness two maidens, lifted it from the ground, holding it between them while the Colonists fell in two by two behind them. For a moment there was si lence, then there arose in full soung that stirring processional, “The earth fs the Lo.d's and the fullness there of, the world and they that dwell therein.” Sang as They Maiched. As they marched, they sang, filling the clearing with music. From the path the procession turned into the H Spread the « ’ Bright Board Spread the bright board; Let many candles shine; Bring in the ruddy hoard Of tree and vine. Let flock and field Their falrest fruits provide And yield Choice viands for our barvest tide, But let no neighboring table empty be, Lest our own feast become a wmockery. Welcome each guest; Let hand clasp friendly hand With all the zest Of those who understand The time Is meet For love's ingathering, And friendship is & sweet And gracious thing. But let no lonely soul shiver without, Lest our gay comradeship grow dim with doubt, Crown love With music; let the singing strings Awaken echoss of Forgotten things.

Coming to where the corn was on the stalk, the two maldens stopped, setting the basket upon the ground. Again there was silence and all stood still until the thankfulness of the people brok forth In singing ‘% the notes of the psalm began, the two maidens each plucked a stick, dropping It In the basket, then stood aside that those who followed might pluck and deposit thelr corn, So they sang, while each one harvested his corn, dropping It In the wicker bas ket, until the last ear had been gath ered, The burden of the full basket being past the strength of the maldens, two men came forth and gravely ralsed the basket between them, With quick ened step the procession marched back, through the fleld and down the path to the granary, singing a song of thankfulness. Having finished the marching song, Governor Bradford bade all kneel in a half circle around the front of tha granary. The elder sent up -a peti tion of thanksgiving for the riches of the earth, forest, and sea which had been bountifully poured on the people. Simpl> Ceremony. . When the elder ceased, one of the maidens approached the granary, un fastening and throwing open its de ir. Governor Bradford promptly came forward and plucking a stick from the basket, threw it into the grain house. So one by one those who gathered the corn took up a stick and threw it into the granary until only two sticks were left. Priscilla, blush ing sweetly, gently dropped one of these in the storehouse. The second maiden now stood ferth, holding the last stick of corn. With her head thrown back and singing words of praise, she dropped the last sheaf of harvest into the granary, closed the door, locked it and carried the key to the governor. i When this simple ceremony had been completed, all stood with bowed heads as again they sang, “The Lord shall preserve thy going out, and thy coming in from this time forth and forevermore.” ! was garnered the first harvest from the field of the great clearing, and safely housed amid the songs of praise of the people. One of the maid ens who carried the basket was Prise cilla, and one of the men who took it back was John Alden. A Picture Each of us has, | think, in his mind’s eye a Masterpiece—his own particular pic ture of that first and famous Thanksgiving. « « « Mine is an exquisite etching—perfect in black and white, . . . There are inky outlines of trees on a flawless background of snow, . . . But there is only a sound for the sea~—high waves beating white oo dark rocks that guard a coast. . . . There are sinister shadows creeping . . . and bere a feathered headdress limns black when the moon is bright, ~ , . There are profiled. Puritan faces, sharp and white in their hinger, with the cut of delicate cam eos against the dark of their cloaks. . . « Here——and touching a prayer book——is the fragile hand of a girl, and there a man's thin cheek along a dark gun barrel. . . . The blessing that prefaced their dinner was o white grace over them all, and their bread was there for the blackness and the ° meat of a wild turkey hen. . . . Too austere for your picture taste? But it is framed in the soft gray of time. . . . And my etching is lovelier far than your colored Thanksgiving today, . . . Ennobling Thought The mere act of giving thanks tends to make the thanksgiver happy; indi cates u noble nature; lends dignity apd beauty to our work; points to mental development, since the one who thinks, thanks; puts one outside himself; I 8 an ald to unselfishness; increases our capacity to receive God's blessings; enables us to en dure affiction and to be great In ad vorsity; keeps alive the spiritual sense, There Is no greater reason for gratitude than the fact that the na tion stops to give thanks,—Exchange.
