THANKSGIVING DINNER REVIEWS AHE HEREIN SE'IVD ANY STYLE:
It sounds easy, doens't it to write.a little piece far thepaper about
Thanksgiving dinners, but as Z sat here, yesterday afternoon at my
diamond studded typewriter, &tt seemed inpossible and I kept on setting
there, every iittli while, 1. king plaintively at theCo* Clerk, who had
requested me to write this piece, and be didn't pay any attention to me,
after a while I went over there, and said: ,rI haven't on idea how to write th:
Thanksgiving story,11 and he said: "well why don't you borrow one then?
And I said, "well when it gets as late as Wednesday afternoon, an idea is afe
about all you can borrow around this company, especially, as there are
no banks around here," and he didn't say anything more,- and went on working,
and 2 kept on trying to think of something, ondnot being able to, until
I thadtght: "I wil 1 do as he said and borrow a few ideas from my friends
aroung theCorapapy* I will snare a half-dosen of them, while I*m at it*
Take the Hess or Supply Sgts:’ If they were writing up this Thanksgiving
business I bet I know how they would do At*M So I have lifted a para
graph or so in their style*

the field for slugging the potato in theeye, and its place was takendd
by the Brussel sprouts, noted for the eccentric game they play* The
