Show BJ)1.A FLASHES by Jim Abplanalp A Bit O' Stuff in' Today (Thursday) is Thanksgiving Thanks-giving and most of us have already al-ready partaken of the usual festive fes-tive board or now wait impatiently impa-tiently to do so. The land of plenty is more than filled with plenty of everything. Plenty of turkey, dress and all that goes with the bounteous repast. Tables Ta-bles will groan with the loads of groceries that will be consumed by millions of hungry people. Then the consumers will in turn groan as they transfer the burden bur-den from the tables and split wishbones to see who has to wash the dishes. Then not being able to do much else for the day, most of us can relax and thank someone some-one for our so well being. We can give thanks not only for that big holiday dinner, but for the many things that are combined in making the day complete and enjoyable. We can be thankful that we live where and when we do, that we can live and produce what we need and like, and above all that we belong to a nation of good healthy people, and we can have a voice in helping keep it so. So long as we can appreciate our good fortunes and strive to make others the same, then Thanksgiving is still worthwhile.
