Cain you picture the happiness that will be present in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Cordner of Timpanugos ward this Thanksgiving because two sons, Don F. and Blaine Cordner have been discharged from the service? Just two men home but the ramifications are many. Dons wife was formerly Peggy Wright of Salt Lake City. This homecoming alone makes many families thankful. Also: The 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.

In Scotland this festival is known as the KerBL-While we have much to be thankful for, while the whole world is sending up prayers of thanksgiving for the peace that has been achieved, there is with this spirit of thankfulness an obligation. This obligation has been known throughout all history. 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 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. Youll 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?

From the beginning of recorded history, man has observed some form of a harvest or Thanksgiving holiday. In the Book of Judges it describes a harvest festival, of the Canaanites: And they went out into the field, and gathered their vineyards and trod the grapes, and held a festival, 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." During this feast everyone lived in booths or tents in memory of the time when the nation had no home. In Moses says, Thou shalt keep the feast of the Tabernacle seven days, after that thou hast gathered in from thy threshing-floo- r and from the winepress..." In ancient times in Athens a feast of Demeter, foundress of agriculture, and In godess of harvest, was celebrated. Greece there was a harvest festival called The feast of Cerelia Thdsmophoria. was also celebrated on October 4 by the Romans who gave thanks for their harvests an this day to Ceres.

He set aside Thursday, Novemlier 26 for this purpose and gave our present celebration its name. They are coming home. In a steadily increasing stream, the members of the armed forces of the United States are receiving 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 conflict just concluded did not touch. America can be proud of the contributions she made to the winr ning of world liberty, and grateful to God for the vast resources that he gave to her. This nation under God has endured many tests. This day is set apart in appreciation of the fact. It is sigiuficent 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 in the United States is a family celebration.
