' ol + b< 'I A KING THE "E" Ol'T OF FEAST. il na oFood economists have suggested, of | land very appropriately, that the re I |American peopie this year torego the usual Thanksgiving feast, taking [1 . the "e" out and making it a day of o 1 tasting. Many of our holidays, it n t may be said, are improperly oele- ? . ^ brated. The establishment or in- ' auguration of a day of thanksgiving h tl carried no appeal for gorgeous w >w feasts. It is a day set apart for C) 01 ro Pfayer and praise for the mercies of ^ at Clod to the nation and to the people 1 ft. who inhabit the nation. j, It therefore, would not lie out of; 0| piace i>y any conception of propriety Cf f<l ti dispense this year when the coun- P{ >n try is going through a period of^f i n- anxiety, sacrifice, hardship and peril as with tlie usual feast and spend the J,.) no day in a more consistently appro-101 priate manner. This Thanksgiving qi will find millions of our people beset ir a' with anxieties and uncertainty as to ti ils the welfare and safety of fathers, w IS- sons and brothers who will bear the p er biunt of America's part in the great h ''s war. Loved ones worry through an w he effort to safeguard the lives and di- c< ir- minish the peril which overhangs if those who have gone to the battle- s< t P fronts and those yet to go. " In no more appropriate way could o tr ft Thanksgiving be celebrated this year h 1,0 than by a concerted appeal by the d >m whole nation to God that our boys may fight for a righteous cause and il be returned safely to us when vie tory has been won. This should not be accompanied by lavish feasts ' ivo n when our government begs of us to v "eat a plenty but wisely." That we j, ho may not suffer for food in the future, ii we must economize now.
