Show So the People May Know Orem's Municipal Election Well, the City election is over and the time for congratulations con-gratulations is in order, but we are somewhat puzzled to fcnow whom we should congratulate. The compensation paid public officers in a City of Orem's size is so small anil the burdens are so heavy that one, at times, is prompted to congratulate the party who gets out from iinder the burden, and to commiserate with those upon wliom the burden is placed. We hope all citizens will heed the appeal -of Mayor !ect Gillman so that the community may be united. A (Sty of 5,000 is not very large, and to make a really good city, it wiU be necessary for all of the people to work for .the common good. There are many comments which can be made on the recent campaign, and we mean constructive comments. com-ments. We especially like the suggestion made by Mr. Gillman that there be constructive advice and suggestions. sugges-tions. Of course, there will be disappointments in a campaign. That is inevitable in a democracy, but the splendid thing about it is that those who lose usually join with the others in making future progress. And the victors with proper humility should be willing to accept help and criticism. A- Vrnm time to time this naner eYnorta fn maL-o comments and give constructive suggestions. Our first article will be in an earlv issue.

By William Clyde Behunin They are coming home. In a steadily increasing stream, the members of the armed forces of the United States are receiving re-ceiving their discharges and returning to the ways of peace. On this Thanksgiving Day, this nation has indeed much to be thankful for. It can safely be said that there is not a home anywhere in the world that the terrible confUctijusst concluded did not touch. America lean be proud .of the contributions she made to the winning win-ning of world liberty, and grateful to God for the vast resources tha he gave to her. This , nation under God has endured many tests. This day is set apart in appreciation ap-preciation of the fact. It is significent that Thanksgiving is the only religious holiday we have that is set apart for all of the people. All other religious holidays are Christian celebrations; only. Thanksgiving Thanks-giving in the United States is a family celebration. It is a time for the gathering of close friends to give thanks for a successful suc-cessful harvest. v When the separation of friends, or family, or loved ones has been of great length, the joy of that celebration is enhanced. en-hanced. Can you picture the happiness that will be present in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Cordnerof Timpanogos ward this Thanksgiving because two sons, Don F. and Blaine Cordner have been discharged dis-charged from the .service? Just two men home but the ramifications are many. Don's wife was formerly Peggy Wright of Salt Lake City. This homecoming alone makes many families thankful. :Also: llif Carl Farley family and the Jesse L. Smith family with their four sons home after three years' absence, the two Farley boys in the European theater and the Smith brothers in the Pacific. Our modern methods of travel will surely win the praise and thankfulness of Mr. and Mrs. W. E. (Wick) Bartlett of Provo Canyon. Their son Earl G. Bartlett flew home from .the Aleutians to receive his discharge from the army. America has always been a thankful nation, not only for the victories that have come to her arms, nor just for the liberty she has been blessed with, but all the peo- Ele who have inhabited her shores have een thankful for the privilege of living; here. Even the Indians had their thank-days. thank-days. It is claimed that the expedition under Forbisher, on May 27, 1578, when departing depart-ing for Tilbury Hope on May 27, 1578, set aside that day as a day of Thanksgiving, and that this expedition settled the first English colony in America. Our Pilgrim forefathers in 1621 had . the first authentic harvest festival in the new world. They were indeed thankful for this land of opportunity and freedom although they had suffered extreme privations priva-tions and had lost many of their number. George Washington, first president of the United States, gave the first official proclamation of a day of Thanksgiving. He set aside Thursday, November 26 for this purpose and gave our present celebration celebra-tion its name. From the beginning of recorded history, his-tory, man has observed some form of a harvest or Thanksgiving holiday. In the Book of Judges it describes a harvest festival, fes-tival, of the Canaanites: "And they went out into the field, and gathered their vineyards vine-yards and trod the grapes, and held a festival, fes-tival, and went into the house of their god, and did eat and drink." This harvest festival appeared later among the Hebrews as an act of worship to Jehovah called "The Feast of the Tabernacles." Taber-nacles." During this feast everyone lived in booths or tents in memory of the time when the nation had no home. In Deu-tronomy Deu-tronomy Moses says, Thou shalt keep the feast of the Tabernacle seven days, after that thou hast gathered in from thy threshing-floor and from the winepress..." In ancient times in Athens a feast of Demeter, foundress of agriculture, and godess of harvest, was celebrated. In Greece there was a harvest festival called ThtSsmophoria. "The feast of Cerelia" was also celebrated on October 4 by the Romans who gave thanks for their harvests har-vests an this day to Ceres. "Harvest Home" in England can bo traced back to the Saxons at the time of Egbert. In Scotland this festival Is known asthe'rn." While we have much to l thankful w for, while the whole world is sending lip prayers of thanksgiving for the peace that has been achieved, there is with this spirit of thankfulness an obligation. This obligation obli-gation has been known throughout all history. his-tory. Man must Continually be on his guard, he must work, and sometimes he must even fight to keep the things that have been granted unto him. World War II has been won, but will we win the peace ? As you sit in the midst of plenty this Thanksgiving day, think of the war torn countries in Europe and Asia, They are thankful for peace, and the cessation of killing, but there are many homeless, without with-out food, and even without sufficient clothing to keep themselves warm. While you may have purchased an extra bond to allow our government to help them, can your conscience really tell you it is enough. You'll receive a return on that investment. It is not charity to pay taxes to support the police force for the protection that they give you. These people who are starving to death protected your home. Currently, the Red Cross and other agencies are soliciting funds for the aid of these people. What are you going to do to make it a real Thanksgiving for the guardians of your home? Henry H. Falkner, chairman of the Victory Bond drive for Orem-Sharon district, reports the community chairmen are getting their organization completed com-pleted and an intensive drive will begin in a short time. There has been some delay, owing to the fact that many of the fruitgrowers have not yet received checks for fruit shipped this season, and the district chairmen felt it best to wait for the drive until the checks arrive. Reports from Lyle McDonald, postmaster, show that very lit tle action has been taken so far by individuals in the purchase of the bonds at the Orem postof- fice. Stat Below National Average To date the entire state Is lag' ging a little below the national average for E bond 6ales, with a total of $2,103,954, or 19 of the $11,000,000 state Quota. In the county E-bond race, Tooele county still leads the state with 38 of quota; Weber county with 30 is second; Davis county third with 27 Buy Bond Through Orem Postof fice .. Chairman Falkner again calls attention to the fact that only the bonds .purchased through Orem Postoff ice will apply! on the community quota of $98,211.
