By franklin Folger THE PEOPLE OF DELTA AND THE GREAT PAHVANT Thursday, November 24, 1966 as a day of feasting and prayer to show the gratitude of the colonists. The custom of a day of thanksgiving thanks-giving spread from Plymouth to other New England Colonies. On Nov. 26, 1789 President George Washington issued a proclamation for a day of thanks. On the same year, the Protestant Episcopal Church announced that the first Thursday in November would be a regular yearly day of giving thanks unless civil authorities appointed ap-pointed another day. In 1863, President Abraham Lincoln Lin-coln issued a proclamation setting aside the last Thursday in that year as a day of thanksgiving and praise to our beneficent Father. Each year afterward, for 75 years the President of the United States formally proclaimed that Thanksgiving Thanks-giving Day would be celebrated on the last Thursday of November. In 1939, President Franklin D. Roosevelt proclamed Thanksgiving to be celebrated one week earlier. The change was not accepted by ruled the fourth Thursday of Nov. would be observed as Thanksgiving Day and proclaimed it a legal holiday. holi-day. Even though we live in an unsettled un-settled world we have many things to be thankful for on Thanksgiving Day, 1966. As we gather around our heavily-laden heavily-laden tables Thursday, let us recall re-call the words af Robert L. Stevenson Steven-son in his prayer for Thanksgiving: "Lord, behold our family assembl ed here. We thank Thee for this place in which we dwell; for the love that unites us; for the peace accorded us this day; for the hope with which we expect the morrow; for the health, ,the work, the food, and the bright skies that make our lives delightful."

The meeting was pleasant I enough, considering the reason for LETTERS, VISIT, ETC it. I had already been told that doui as pieasani a iasn as ever both are excellent teachers and'yu could find. fine people. Their visit tended to confirm this. Seemingly, they had no real complaints against my article. They thought that my information was incomplete, however and gave me more which I'll pass on to you with un-ir approval. , Mr. Lsrsen and Mr. Robins said ! fel "' , " l"c '"" they had four copies of the letter !gln a back t0WRrda tne (Union of Urban Teacher's) made1. wea DacK . lowrds the for each at $.25 a copy.

Mr. Larsen and Mr. Robins told these people about their conversation con-versation with Mr. Brough and then changed their own plans to distribute distri-bute their copies. REPERCUSSIONS One never attempts such a column col-umn as last week's without expecting expect-ing repercussions of some sort. Two came my way. One person disliked the column intensely and told me so. Generally speaking, though, the comments have been favorable. I'm truly pleased that many people directly connected with the Millard School District have let me know by telephone and by personal visits that they were happy the article had been published. THANKSGIVING 1930's Thanksgiving Day at Papa and Mama Pyland's home was always special, uuring tne eany luaus food was sometimes scarce and j money even more so. Despite these , handicaps, Mama Pyland always managed to "set a good table." The loud, boisterous brood that was privileged pri-vileged to call her "Mama" licked the platter clean. ' The Pyland family usually had goose for Thanksgiving. Sometimes we would have a rooster who had gotten too old to do whatever it is a rooster does to earn its stay in this world. In either case, the bird would be cut into serving pieces and boiled. When tender to the point of falling off the bones, Mama Ma-ma Pyland would take the broth and make dressing with part of it and use the remainder for a pot of dumplings. The dressing and the pieces of fowl would be placed together in a big bread pan and baked. Mama Pyland's dressing would always be very moist and very "sagey." And second-helping good. Mama's dumplings dum-plings would be the rolled-out type and maybe today would be called "slightly tough." Not so, though. They were extremely good and rich. Along with the meat, dressing and dumplings, we would have baked sweet potatoes, hot biscuits, squash, cucumber and beet pickles, macaroni and cheese, celery (what a r?tre treat it was during those days), whole cranberry sauce and heaven only knows what else. Dessert would be two kinds of cake, usually chocolate and cocoa-nut, cocoa-nut, molasses, raisin and lemon pies. After dinner, which was served as near 12:00 noon as possible, the youngest children would trail after Member Galli abstained Robert Nielson and Claude Parkinson Park-inson were present to review the Vo ag program at each of the High Schools, and both teachers gave a very enthusiastic outline of their program with lots of interest In the program for the future years. Supt. Taylor presented the policy now in force for payments in lieu of transportation, and a discussion was held concerning the present amounts now being paid as follows: A student who lives to far from school to travel daily and attends school within our District is paid $1.00 per day. A student who lives in Millard County and lives to far from school to travel daily and attends at-tends school in another school district dis-trict receives $.75 per day. A student stu-dent who must furnish transportation transporta-tion to a bus line or school is paid $.06 per mile, who lives beyond the limits set for elementary and secondary sec-ondary students. Member Evans made a motion to raise the above amounts from $1.00 to $1.25, and from $.75 to $1.00, and $.06 per mile to $.07 per mile which will be effective as of Nov. 1, 1966 and seconded by Member Nelson and carried unanimously by members of the board. Supt. Taylor reviewed the problems pro-blems which have been incurred with Mr. Richard Brough as a teach er of Millard School District. Supt. Taylor presented the proposed pro-posed rental policy of all school buildings in the district to Nonprofit Non-profit or Profit and Commercial organizations.

When the air turned turn-ed cool or became almost dark, Papa Pa-pa would say "Let's quit." He would solemnly lift each sack and make a great to-do about whose sack was the fullest. The child who . . fVw. th . ,.,,. ... ma Pyland would have a coal oil lamp burning and perhaps a fire in the frontroom stove. We would sf.nd around the stove to get our bottoms warm. We'd laugh, joke and jostle each other for no other reason than we loved life, every minute of it. Mama Pyland would read her Bible. Papa Pyland would clear his throat and give us a look that said "quiet" much louder than words. The radio would be turned to Gabriel Heater's newscast and then to Amos and Andy. Papa Pyland would take off his shoes and socks and one of us would rub his feet. Mama would take out her hairpins hair-pins and let her hair fall and one of us would comb it again and again. Soon, too soon, it was bedtime. That was Thanksgiving, early 1930's. Car Hits Horses, Mules in Highway 50 & 6 Accident Deputy Sheriff Edgar Mills and Trooper Tom Rynearson investigated investigat-ed an accident Nov. 15, 6:00 p.m. at Hinckley involving a herd of 16 horses and mules and a 1966 Pon-tiac, Pon-tiac, owned by Automated Feeding.
