THANKSGIVING
Tomorrow, Thursday, November 29th, is known over
all the United States as Thanksgiving Day. The Day has a
national significance because of the deep, underlying feeling
attached to it. " 1
To modern-day Americans the day means that they can
lay aside their work, occupations and business pursuits,
while they pause and give Thanks for all the good they have
received during the past year. They can go to their homes,
have their large or smalf Thanksgiving dinners and exper
ience a feeling of brotherliness to all those around them.
Those hardy pioneers who first came to the New Eng
land shores of America are credited with the establishment of
Thanksgiving Day in America. They worked hard during
the year they lived in their new surroundings, building their
homes, planting their gardens and developing the country in
which they had chosen to live.
They had hard times carving a living out of a huge wild
erness, but at the end of their first year they deemed it nec
essaray and right that they thank the Almighty God for his
beneficence aand kindliness to them during their hardships.
Such was their occasion in dedicating a day on which they
would show their thankfulness. That principle has descend
ed from year to year throughout the United States.
Every nation has one day on which they observe the same
principle in one way or another. But to the United States it
has been a basic tribute in their faith in Him, in preserving
and fostering this great nation.
In Alaska we have much the same viewpoint. We are
all pioneers who when the hard work of a year past, has been,
completed, can pause and show Thanksgiving.
We, in Nome, have much to be thankful for. We have
experienced a disastrous conflagration, which consumed the
major part of the city. Suffering and privation has resulted.;
Many who lost almost all of their belongings are today gett
ing along as well as they can, attempting to regain in part,!
the progress which we had made since coming to Nome. It,
is hard. But one thing, which is not hard, is that all are i
working together for the advancement of the community and
the citizens who live here. We have been busy since that fire
erecting and constructing new buildings to occupy the places,
left vacant by those that burned.
Tomorrow we will lay our tools aside, postpone our busi
ness occupations for a day, and congregate to give thanks to

the Almighty, who in his Divine Wisdom has made it possi
ble for us to continue as a city and people of pioneers. The
hardships remain; many days are ahead when the work will
be hard and try the patience of everyone, but tomorrow our
one thought will be of thankfulness for the good which we
have received during the past year.
Each and every one will find some small thing that has
happened to him, to be thankful for. But in the larger sense
of the word t>ur-duty to Mankind and God has been a prive
lege which we in Nome can point every day to, as being
exercised in every sense of the meaning. Let us stop for a
moment and give our Thanks tomorrow, in the same spirit
our Pilgrims were endowed with.
THE WORTHY CCC.
The President’s decision that the CCC will carry on is
certain to meet with the approval of every understanding
and thinking American. „
Through the CCC 850,000 young men were given
healthful, gainful and to a large extent productive employ
ment. A great many of these young men were virtually
lifted from the slums of large cities, hungry, desperate,
hopeless, disillusioned victims of the depression. Many
had come into young manhood during the worst stages of
the depression and never had experienced actual employ
ment. Many were high school and college graduates whose
fruitless, weary rounds of job-seeking had ground out their
spirit, leaving them sick of mind and body.
The CCC enlisted them. In many cases transplanted
them far from the sordid surroundings in which they had
existed, into a fresh, stimulating, outdoor environment. For
example, groups from New Jersey and New York were tak
en as far as eastern and western Washington. The travel,, the
inspiration of the scenic wonders were beneficial. In camps
they were placed under experienced handlers of men, draft
ed from the U.S.Militaary services in many instances. Medi
cal attention was available, good food, manual labor to
strengthen flabby bodies drained by inactivity and malnu
trition. Pride in strength, morale, corps spirit, was built up
healthy competitive athletics and recreations were encour
aged. Now it is reported that approximately 10,000 young
men are leaving these camps each month to reenter business,
industry, and the farm. Ten thousand re-claimed, re-generat
ed young men going into the regular lines of work again,
facing life with regained health, strength, sound minds, and
bodies, and clear, wholesome perspectives.
President Roosevelt’s decision to continue the CCC is
most commendable and the continuance should maintain as
long as the need for it endures.—New York Times.
