WE TOO, SHOULD BE THANKFUL Three hundred forty-five years after the "First Thanksgiving' Thanksgiv-ing' the people of the Pleasant Grove area have much for which to be thankful. Unlike the Pilgrims, who reportedly staged the first Thanksgiving Thanks-giving celebration, we are surrounded by comforts and cor), veniences undreamed of by them. Take the matter of medical care and health services, for example. Only one person Crvtr the age of 40, In the entire Plymouth Rock Colony, survived the winter prior to that first Thanksgiving Day. Fireplaces In their crude log cabins, were a necessity, then, for heat and cooking. At present, they are merely one of the many luxuries In our modern gas heated homes. People hunt and fish, nowadays, Just for the fun of It. In 1620 hunting and fishing were stem necessities. If the Pilgrim Fathers failed to bring home the turkeys, deer or seafoods, their families went to bed hungry. When the Pilgrims went places they walked. They had no automobiles, airplanes or even spirited saddle horses. The snow was deep then in New England and there were no roads. Perhaps that was Just as well, since there were few places to go. Then, there were no electric lights, telephones, washing machines, dryers, vacuum sweepers, radios, televisions, trucks, tractors, store-bought shoes and clothing and so on, almost ad infinitum. There were no school dropouts, because there weren't any schools. Teenage problems were relatively few, except for the young folks holding hands In the dim light of the chimney comer . History records that the Pilgrims were thankful that first Thanksgiving Day. Some historians go so far as to intimate that the Indians were thankful too. At least the Red men had no concern about whether the next government subsidy would arrive on time. Yes, life today in this community has its problems, its frustrations frus-trations and its complexities. But fundamentally we have much for which to be thankful, this Thanksgiving Day of 1 965. Failing to thank God for it, we will be ungrateful, indeed. V thanksgiving . . . J a time to say "Thanh You 99 lsHj On this Thanksgiving we join you, our valued friends and patrons, in a thankful prayer for the many blessings, the many freedoms we enjoy Jbi this land of plenty.
