President Hoover Declares This Na* . tion Has Much To Be lliankful for. Urfes Help for Poor. The anniversary of Armistice day was observed in the city Tuesday morning under the auspices of the lo cal American Legion post. A program of interest and impressiveness had been planned by this organisation headed by W. A. Johnson, and a large crowd gathered on the streets and business square to witness the exer cises and to view a large and color ful parade arrang^Kl under the direc tion cf Captain Wysor of the Presby terian college R. 0. T. C. unit. The parade was headed by officers of the local post, followed by the col lege band in striking uniform, Ameri can Legion members, members of the R. 0. T. C. unit, Confederate veterans and others, were in the line of march Washington, Nov. 7. — President Hoover today called upon the people of the United States to observe Thanksgiving day by extending aid to those who are in need and suffering from causes beyond their control. In his annual Thanksgiving day proclamation, the chief executive said this country has many causes for thanksgiving. He added that as a na tion “we have suffered far less than other peoples from the present world difficulties.” His proclamation follows; “By the President of the United States, a proclamation. “Notwithstanding that our fore fathers endured the hardships and pri vations of a primitive life, surrounded by dangers and solaced only with mea gre comforts, they nevertheless be queathed to us a custom of devoting CLINTON’S CHARITY PROBLEM The committee appointed at the i rally to their support. They have P.C.-ERSKINE ri ADIFS Nir.HT” MEET FRIDAY! A MERRY AFFAIR ,a J ^ universal The address of the day was deliver- , ... n t r .C ed “by Presbyterian college, who used as his subject, “The Challenge of the Day.” In his forcible address. Dr. McSween paid tribute to the men who had fought in the World war and was heartily applauded by the large crowd that surrounded the monument where the exerciser were held. In opening his address. Dr. Mc Sween said we have gathered today to celebrate one of the momentous moments in the world’s history. This day challenges us first, to “a new pride in citizenship,” for the present generation is not unworthy of its glo rious past. We seek not glory for our selves, he said, the record has been made and nothing can be taken from it. The world has been thrilled by the ppirit of the American soldiers in FYance who successfully swept the most highly trained army of a mili taristic nation from the most highly developed defenses the world ever skw. - Continuing, Dr. McSween declared the day challenges us to new world consciousness, a consciousness of world citizenship, and this greatoisss attained on our part demands that we participate in the solution of world pressing problems. The thrill of the sight of the American flag, he said, unfurled to the breeze in foreign lands, is a symbol of hope to the I fo: Almigbt^’ .GpiUftc^lw* blessing of life Itkelf. and the means to sustain it,- for the sanctuary of home and the joys that pervade it, and for the mercies of his protection from accident, .‘>ickness or death. /‘Our country has many causes for Thanksgiving. We have been blest with distinctive evidence of Divine fa vor. As a nation we have suffered far less than other peoples from the pres ent world difficulties. We have been free from civil and industrial discord. The outlook for peace between nations has been strengthened .... “Now, therefore, I, Herbert Hoover, president of the United States of .Vmerica, do hereby designate Thurs day, November 27, 1930, as a national day of thanksgiving, and do enjoin the people of the United States to observe it, calling upon them to remember that many of our people are in need and suffering from causes beyond their control, and suggesting that a proper celebration of the day should include that we make sure that every person in the community, young and old, shall have cause to give thanks for our institutions and for the neigh borly MntMTMnts of otir |Mople.” Destroy Cotton Stalks To Kill Boll Weevils mass meeting to consider the advisa bility of canvassing the town for the $3,000 nece.ssary to secure the estab lishment of a Salvation Army post and financing the charity of the com munity for a year held two meetings, though the full committee was nbt present at either. After going over the matter carefully and talking with some citizens not on the committee, it was decided that the time is not opportune for such an effort and we have notified the Salvation Army men to that effect. There is still the problem of some united effort to meet the charity needs of Clinton and vicinity for the com ing winter months in an intelligent way. On this matter it was decidwl that the be.st thing we can do is to turn it over to the Woman’s club and ask every one charitably disposetl to planned to employ a lady to give part of her time to the a<^mini.stering of j whatever funds and supplies may be j placed at her disposal.
