LET t?3 BE THANKFUL
Thansgiving Day is observed
by all good Americans. It
knows no distinction between
colo-a nor creeds. Thanksgiv
ing Day is for all who believe
,'v> " '•""•eme Power and are
thankful for the benefits they
lecc’ved.
Thanksgiving Day is distinct
ly American, rich in historic
a sociations.
The first Thanksgiving Day
was ob'erved in 1621, about a
year after the Pilgrims landed
at PI mouth, November 21,
1620.
More than half of the original
120 settlers perished from
hard* bins during their first
six r* dhs on these shores,
yet ? re’igements went for
ward in the spring of 1621 for
the renting of corn. Twenty
acre-s ware sown to corn and
six acres to barley and peas.
When the harvest had beer,
safely gathered in the Fall
plan;- were made for a Thanks
giving dinner. Governor Brad
ford ?ent four hunters wit!
blunderbusses after turkeys
then wild throughout Nev
England. The Indian chief
tain Massasoit, and his met
killed five deer for the feast
The famous Priscilla to whon
John Alden made love for
M ies Standish, was cook, and
it was a feast indeed. Fifty
two P lgrims and ninety In
dians sat down together and
enjoyed their first full meal
since arrival in this wilder
ness.
Yvnen one realizes the hard
ships these sturdy pioneers suf
fered to make this a land of
plenty, can the sincerity of
this first Thanksgiving be
doubted? And if these stran
gers in a foreign land, facing
d~ath daily in their struggle
for a m-re existence, foun<
cause to be thankful for their
preservation, how much more
should we of this wonderful
generation express our grati
tude for the generosity of a
kindly Providence.

With a total of nine proper
ties, including Porter Idaho,
D tnw ll L & L, B. C. Silver
Indian Big Missouri, River
side, Mountainview and Pre
mier, engaged at winter ope
rations, and with every pros
nect- that one or two others
will be added to the list dur
ing the winter season,, the de
velopment outlook of the dis
trict is distinctly more reassui
ing than at any time in the
amp’s history. Probably nevej
before has the volume of win
ter development work exceed
ed that of the present season
despite the fact that the dis
trict has witnessed some prettj
lively periods, both before am
after opening up of the great
Premier. Still more illustrative
of the district’s development
orogress is the fact that sever
of the properties mentioned
'orter Idaho, Dunwell, L & L
iverside, Indian, Mountain
•iew and Premier are eithe
actively engaged in commerci
il ore production or are mak
ing preparations to commence
re shipments as soon as win
er conditions are favorable
or transportaton. Last wintei

vas extracting ore on a com
aercial scale; this year there
/ill probably be at least four
lore properties were active
hipments during the winter
lthough there are excellent
>rospects that on or two more
nay join the list before spring
Coming after a summer of
musual activity, during which
nore properties were active
han at any time in the history
>f the district, the inaugurat
on of such extensive winter
operations shows clearly that
levelopment is proceeding at a
oace and on a scale which
should place the camp in the
'ore rank of the world’s min
ng centers in another year or
wo.

What this country needs is
less slip-shoddery.
Yes, it’s a fast moving age
in which we live, and we are
paying the penalty of speed:
paying it in lack of conscien
tious effort; paying it in tasks
done only well enough to get
by; paying it in work in which
the worker takes no pride.
Some philosopher has said
that the smallest thing, well
done, becomes artistic. If this
is so then there is a lot of
room these days for artistry.
We are always in a frenzy to
get through, rather than in a
creative mood to get it done
ightjalways in a rush to get
where we are going without
taking time to enjoy the ad- ■
entures along the way.
We half-finish the job and call '
t a day. We approach our
asks in a slovenly frame ot j
vind-and that mental attitude ■
eflects itself in the product,1
whether it be a meal or a monu
unent. Superficiality seems to
ave made skill a back num
ier. Pride in doing it just a
little better has given way to
duff in putting it over slam
jang. The joy of perfection
s something our ancestors
hould have worried about. To
.is that kind of thing is-apple
auce.
There are men who put into
he thing .they do ability and
liability. Posterity may ac
laim their mastery, but most
if us think they’re loco.
Hurrah for jazz!

The traffic problem in some

It has been handled long

iroject will have some results.
